Genealogy

From Page 10 of A genealogical account of the principal families in Ayrshire, more particulary [sic] in Cunninghame By George Robertson. 1823. “Ardrossan”

VII. Godfrey de Ardrossan, (son, it may be, of the preceding,) who is witness to an undated charter, in the reign of David II, to the Abbot of Kilwinning. To this charter, John Stewart of Periston also is witness; and this must have been, after 1333, for James Stewart, the first of Periston, was that year killed at the battle of. Halidownhill; of course there could have been no John Stewart of Periston, till after that time. Should this Godfrey have been the last male of the Ardrossans, it may be inferred that either his sister or his daughter carried this estate by marriage, (as Nisbet asserts, and as is otherwise known) to the Eglintons of Eglinton, from whence it came, not long after, to the Montgomery family, by the marriage of Sir John Montgomery of Eagleshame, with Elisabeth, the heiress of Sir Hugh de Eglinton of 'that Ilk, about, or soon after 1360.
