Note 1
!Notes: Margaret Hotchkiss nee Hart's will says that her grandmother was Lady Elizabeth Montgomery wife of the Lord chief Baron of Scotland.
Since Ann was indeed listed as the daughter of Sir James Montgomery, Baronet, of Stanhope,' county Peebles, but with her mother being Margaret, only daughter and heiress of Robert Scott of Killearn, county Stirling. Perhaps Margaret Hotchkiss nee Hart was mixing her up with her great Aunt Elizabeth, who married her uncle James, the son of her grandfather of the same name who unherited her grandfather’s title.
