    Notes 
    • Notes from Findagrave
      Adam, 5th Laird of Braidstane
      John was appointed one of the tutors to Hugh, third Earl of Eglintoun.
      Broadstone lies close to the small village of Gateside in North Ayrshire, Scotland about half a mile east of Beith in the old Barony of Giffen.
      Adam's son, Hugh Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery (1560-1636), is known as one of the "founding fathers" of the Ulster-Scots along with James Hamilton, 1st Viscount Claneboye. Paterson, the historian, records that the 'Laird of Braidstane's Scotch Colony', established in around 1606, was responsible for the introduction of linen weaving and manufacture to the area around Lurgan in Ireland; he also built mills, the harbour of Donaghadee, and repaired Port Montgomery (now Port Patrick).
