If anyone has additional information on this family, please post it. This family is mentioned in different contexts through times, but it would be great if someone found the connecting members and times and places.
I noticed someone has found some information and the persons are most definitely connected to James Monargund since there weren't apparently many families in the line. There is a Monorgound that certainly was a member of the parliament and James must be somehow connected to that person because these were prominent families in the stage at that time and lived in the same area and Monargund would not have been mentioned in the pedigree of my ancestor Patrick Ogilvie when he applied to be recognised as Peerage in Sweden after immigrating there along his father William Ogilvie of Balgay and Inchmartine to fight in the swedish king's wars in the 1600's.

This is the profile I recently found:

Referation from the geni-page mentioned above in the link I posted earlier:
..."MONORGUND: From the old lands of the name now the farm of Monorgan at Long-forgan in the Carse of Gowrie, Perthshire. Perhaps now merged in Morgan. Norrinus de Monnorgund laid claim to the lands of Monachkenneran in Kilpatrick, Dumbartonshire, c. 1270 (RMP., p. 184-203). He married Forveleth, daughter and co-heir of Finlay de Campsie, son c Robert de Redheuch (Stodart, II, p 408). Gilbert de Monoreunde witnessed a charter by William, earl of Errol in 1452 (Milne, p. 22), and in the following year mention is made of the land of William Monorgound in Forfar (RAA., II, 101). A charter by Katharine Monorgounde of Balcasky is recorded in 1470 (Pitfirrane, 32). Robert Monnorgund who witnessed a confirmation charter to John Blare de Balgilloquhy in 1512 (RMS., III, 3798) may be Maister Robert Monnorgund who was parson of Banquhory in 1519 (SCM., IV, p. 197). Gilbert Monorgound of that Ilk was jurer on an inquest in Perth in 1525 (Athole, p. 712), Thomas Monorgound was admitted burgess of Dundee in 1538 (Wedd., p. 2), and Elizabeth Monorgund, spouse of James Henrisoun in Balquhormok, is in record in 1585 (Scon, p. 230). William Monorgan was married in Perth in 1568 (Sc. Ant., I, p. 169). Monorgand 1552.
