Alexander de Montgomerie, of Bonnington

Alexander, to whom his mother gave a charter of the lands of Bonnington, in the barony of Ratho. " Nisbet speaks of the lands and estate of Bonnington, in Edinburghshire, which this lady gives to Alexander Montgomery, her second son, with consent of John Montgomery of Ardrossan, her eldest" surviving son. Alexander does not appear to have had any succession, as these lands returned to the chief of the family, and were included in the charter of James V. to Hugh Montgomery, first Earl of Eglinton, November 16, 1528.1 IV. Hugh, who was?it is presumed?born after the death of the eldest son. He was tutor to Hugh, the third Lord Montgomerie, and lived to a very advanced age, having survived four generations of the chief of his family. (1)
