| 1. | Sir Patrick MacLellan of Bombie, Sheriff of Galloway (a temp James II who r. 1437-1460) | ||||||||||||||
| TSP suggests that the "earliest mention of a laird of Bombie of the name of Maclellan is in 1466", referring to the following William. BE1883 mentions the above Sir Patrick but identifies the undermentioned Thomas as "the direct ancestor of the Lords Kircudbright', thereby indicating that Sir Patrick was not Thomas's ancestor. However, various web sites suggest that Sir Patrick was ancestor of the Lords Kircudbright, indicating that Sir Patrick was also Thomas's ancestor. Given the dates, and noting that Thomas's eldest son was called William, it is provisionally presumed that Sir Patrick was father of William father of Thomas. | |||||||||||||||
