  • Notes 
    • 10 Sep 1687 - Rental of Donald Clerk and John Montgomery, merchants in Campbeltown. The lands of Drumgraw (Drumgarve) in Kilchuslane (Kilchousland) parish. SC54/20/8/10/26

      There is a note in the 1691 Rental List that states: "John Montgomerie in Ballimenoch. (Son of William Montgomerie in Ballimenoch. Had a sister Mary Montgomery). John received the tack of Crossibeg and Ballimenoch that year.

      In 1694, William and Johne Montgomerie occupied two hearths in Ballimenach.

      On 19 October 1709 John Montgomerie in Ballimenoch received the tack of the 2 mkland of nether Ballimenoch possesst by himslef, 2 mklands of 3 merkland of Crossibeg presently possesst by William Montgomery his son. "moreover there being 5000 merks Scots money due to the said John Montgomery by a a wadsett on the lands of Ballimenoch and the 3 mklands of Crossibeg by the late Earl of Argyll to the said John Montgomery his father and sisters or others his predecessors whereunto the said John has now the apparent title and right which he doth secure out the said lands as said is: Therefor, the said Duchess on behalf of the said Duke is hereby bound to get allowance and retention to the said John Montgomery and his forsaids of the ordinary Annual rent of the said sum of 5000 merks yearly,"

      There is a John Montgomrie in the Campbeltown OPRs who married Ursula Mure on 31 October 1689. They were the parents of five children born between 1691–1696.

      The Campbeltown OPRs list a John and Margaret Anderson who were the parents of a son named William, born 11 June 1678, including several other children. McKellar states that subsequently, John married Ursula Muir in 1688. The OPRs list that John married Ursula Mure on 31 October 1689, and that they were the parents of five children born between 1691–1696. See Kintyre in the Seventeenth Century, p. 175.
      However, this cannot have been the same person as John and Margaret Anderson continued to baptize children through 1702.
