  General Notes:

"Besides two bastard sons Alexander and George, who were granted legitimations by James V. 6 July 1542, Alexander had a son Hugh, who, as Sir Hugh Kennedy of Girvanmains, was rather a prominent person during the
reign of Queen Mary. He was the ancestor of the Kennedys of Girvanmains, which estate was sold in 1694 to a cadet of the Kennedys of Bargany. The Kennedys of Pinwherry and Monunshion were derived from Girvanmains."
