      "He [Hugh] married Christian, daughter of John Ross, fifth of Auchnacloich, (Marriage Contract, dated 19th of April, 1715) who after his death raised an action against the Trustees of the Ministers' Widows' Fund before the Lord Ordinary (Milton, Justice-Clerk) for an annuity which they had refused to pay, on the ground that her husband had signified his adherence and subjected himself to the highest rate by a writing of 3rd of April, 1744, and so, prior to the appointment of a collector, which took place on the 18th of May, two days after his death, and which consequently could not be notified to him in terms of the Act, 17th, George II. On taking the advice of the Lords, however, her claim was sustained, and she thus became the first annuitant on that Fund. She died on the 1st of January, 1770; her husband having predeceased her on the 16th of May, 1744, aged 69 years, in the 46th year of his ministry. They had issue, four sons and four daughters..."
