• Notes

  Sir James Hume of Musselburgh, East Lothian, Scotland was born in 1639 and died by drowning while at sea, burial at sea, Atlantic Ocean. He was married to Marjorie Johnston who was b. abt. 1648 in Scotland, who also died at sea at the age of 34. While the parentage of Sir James is unknown, the parents of Marjorie were Rev. W. Johnston (1625-1671) and Isabel Maitland (1626-1686). Sir James and Marjorie had one known child, Barbara Lambert Hume (1670-1745), and possibly other children. —— William Hoge left Musselboro in about 1682. He sailed to New York on the “Caledonia”. This ship also carried family of Sir James Hume, from Paisley Scotland. His ancestral home was Wedderburn Castle, Berwickshire. His father was a Baron and knight that traced his lineage back to the first Stuart King, Robert Bruce (1274–1329). The family was also related to the parent of David Hume (1711—1776), the Scottish philosopher. Sir James was true to his religion, and suffered persecution and imprisonment by the Stuarts. He was released with the understanding he would immigrate. Pestilence broke out on the overcrowded ship and James and his wife died at sea, leaving a 12 year old daughter, Barbara. William Hoge became her protector and delivered her to her uncle in New York. William settled in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, and married Barbara Hume in about 1684. [1]
