According to Burke's Landed Gentry,[3] he was not childless rather he had a son named Robert who was the third Laird of Braidstane rather than his nephew Alexander. Adam, 4th Laird of Braidstane was the child of this son Robert not the nephew Alexander. The entry in Landed Gentry, however, has no sources and the account in "History of the Family Montgomery", refers to a deed dated 3 Jan 1485 that documents the relationship.[4]
