    Notes:

    Notes found on Findagrave:
    Hugh Montgomerie of Hessilhead, called 'Young Hugh', succeeded his father. He was a member of the famous Convention Parliament in 1560, which passed an act establishing the Reformed faith in Scotland. A trial took place, December, 1576, ) in consequence of a feudal war between the Montgomeries of Scotston, who lived only about a mile from Hessilhead Castle, and the family of Hessilhead, in which Gabriel Montgomerie, of the Scotston family, was slain by some adherents of the other. The quarrel may have originated from the tocher of the mother of Scotston, who was a daughter of Hessilhead's grandfather, 'Old Hugh'. having been unpaid, at least for a long period, which appears by the confirmation of old Hugh's last will in 1564.

    Hugh married Marian Sempill about 1569. Marian (daughter of 3rd Lord Sempill Robert Sempill and Isabel Hamilton) was born in 1545 in Renfrewshire, Scotland; died on 27 Dec 1593 in West Lothian, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
