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. He succeeded his grandfather subsequently to the year 1652. 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.
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.
