| Robert Montgomerie, 1st of Giffen, Linlithgowshire (a 1413, d before 1452) | |||||||||||||||
| Our first attempt on this family, uploaded in January 2003, came from TSP ('Eglinton') and reported confusion with the John, son of Robert of Giffen, who was ancestor of the Comtes de Montgomery in France (whom we show here). TSP suggests that this Robert was father of Sir William (m. Janet Houston) father of Robert (m. Margaret Blair) father of Alexander, John, Constantine & Thomas with Alexander (m. Jonet Dunlop) father of Patrick father of Robert (a 1515) possibly father of Hugh of Giffen (a 1572) father of Hugh & John (both dsp in 1590). The page was first redone on 03.04.05 using BEB1841. However, we were concerned about the dates: in TSP's case there appeared to be a larger number of generations involved over the next 100 years than we expected; in BEB1841's case because there were fewer. The page was reviewed & redone on 12.12.19 using GH & Douglas which largely support BEB1841 and which identify Robert's wife as Janet Murray. A further review on 06.05.20, using 'History of the County of Ayr' (James Paterson, vol 1, 1847, p286+), provided yet another view of the next few generations, showing Robert as father, by Jane(t) Murray, of Robert (dvp?), Sir William (successor), John (a 1482, father of Robert of Scotston) & James with William (knighted by 1465) succeeded by John (a 1488) who is apparently confused with the John Montgomerie of Giffen shown here except that he is shown as succeeded by Alexander of Giffen, father of Troilus (a 1583) & Robert of Macbie Hill. We forego ufrther comparison as it is clear that there was much confusion on these generations and feel it worth giving precedence to GH. | |||||||||||||||
