  • Notes 
    • Hugh may have married Jean Millar in Campbeltown on 29 November 1723 [507 10/85] and baptized a child there named Hugh on 28 February 1725 [507 11/161].

      More research is need to confirm that this is the same individual.

      It's also possible that his father was the person who confessed to drunkenness at the assize trial, but due to his presumed advanced age (if he was still alive), it's more likely that it would have been his son Hugh.
