| He was probably born about 1445, as he is said to be of lawful age in June 1466, when served heir to his father in the bailiary of Cunningham. Little is known of his history, and it is doubtful if he survived his grandfather. It is certain he was never infeft in the great lordships of Ardrossan and Eglinton, with the smaller estates, which are enumerated in the retour of his son Hugh as heir to his great-grandfather, the first Lord Montgomerie. Nor does he appear to have exercised the office of bailiary of Cunningham, to which he was served heir.11 | ||
