Note 17 — REGIMENTAL LISTS.

Descended from a branch of the noble and historic house of Eglinton. 2nd son of the Rev. Hugh Montgomerie, of Grey Abbey, by the Hon. Emilia Ward, youngest dau. of 1st Visct. Bangor. D. 2nd May, 1817, from the after effects of a wound received at Waterloo. A collateral ancestor, Sir Hugh Montgomerie, fell at the battle of Otterburne as far back as 1388. His death is thus recorded in the old ballad of Chevy Chase:

“He had a bow bent in his hand,

Made of a trusty tree;

An arrow of a cloth-yeard long

Unto the head drew he.

“Against Sir Hugh Montgomerie

So right his shaft he set,

The grey goose wing that was therein

In his heart-blood was set.”
