Hugh Edmonstone-Montgomerie, Esq., was born about 1822 in Trinidad, West Indies, son of John Montgomerie (1780-1830), who owned an estate in Trinidad.
He was a lawyer, shipowner, and ship insurance broker. In the 1840s, he lived in Montreal, Quebec, where he served as a Provincial Grand Master and was acknowledged as Special Grand Representative from the Grand Lodge of British North America during the Grand Lodge's annual session in the City of Baltimore in 1849. He later moved to England and became a broker for ship insurance. In 1854, he was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London. In 1864, he became part owner of a three-masted cargo ship named "Duke of Rothesay". He served as a chairman of the Land Company in London from 1865 to 1869.
In 1855, he married Ellen Appleyard Turner (1830–1913). He died on June 6, 1891, in Lambeth, Surrey, England.

Montecuccoli, Raimondo, 1608-1681
Raimondo Montecuccoli was one of the outstanding strategists of the 17th century. Born in Modena, Italy, he began his military career in Germany, in a regiment of Imperial dragoons. His successes in various engagements in the Thirty Years' War brought his rapid advancement to the rank of field marshall. In 1657, the Emperor sent him to Poland to help reinstate King John Casimir, and in the following year he joined the Elector of Brandenburg to help the King of Denmark. His most famous campaign, however, was waged against the Turks in Transylvania (1661-1664). From 1672 to 1675 he commanded the Imperial Forces against the French under Turenne. Turenne's death gave Montecuccoli the ultimate victory, but he retired immediately due to ill health. He passed the remainder of his life in Vienna, devoting himself to his studies and to composing his memoirs published in 1708.
