Biography

Sir Hugh Montgomerie of Brigend is a child of John Montgomery and Elizabeth Baxter who were married in 1634 in Brigend, Maybole Parish, Ayrshire, Scotland.

On the death of Sir John Montgomerie of Lainshaw in 1687 within two years of that date, Sir Hugh became as his heir male, the chief of his family.

Hugh Montgomery married Katherine Scott, second daughter of Sir William Scott of Cherkington, in 1653, in Brigend, Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland. By her he had two sons and two daughters.

William Montgomery
James Montgomery was a merchant in Glasgow. At the time of his death he was governor of the jail at Glasgow. He had a large family, but none of the sons left any issue.

He died 6th May 1710 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland at over eighty years of age, having resided the last twelve years of his life in Glasgow, under the roof and on the charity of his younger son James, who, in a letter, dated Glasgow, March 6, 1712, to William desires his brother William in America to consider, "what changes he has been at with his father." James no doubt thought that as he obtained none of the advantages, whatever they were, of his father's formerly large estate, he could not consider the care and protection of his father, in his last years, a privilege. Hugh's days ended when his circumstances had been very much reduced, the reverse of those amidst which he entered into life. Inheriting an ample patrimony when a young man, he had been brought in his old age to entailing himself as an encumbrance on a son.
