James, son of Hugh, was sent to Madrid in 1669. James, husband of Margaret, had a son also named James in 1661 and that son married in Scotland in 1689. This implies the younger James remained in Scotland and makes it less credible that his father was a Jesuit priest living in Madrid.
Although there is DNA matches suggestive of a relationship, they are neither the results of triangulation nor of solid genealogical records and can be ignore except to say that the correcting the specifics surrounding this James (or these two conflated Jame's) could still be a valid biological relationship.
