Our "Hume Pedigree," hand written by a Sir David descendant between the last entry date of 1823 and 1864, lists Sir David's Six sons, called the "Spears of Wedderburn" as follows:
1.George Hume, Killed at Flodden with his father, S.P.
2.David Hume, Served heir to his father, Killed in action, 1524.
3.Alexander Hume of Manderston, ancestor to the Earl of Dunbar and to George Hume Drummond (Now of Co. perth), Blair Drummond, who is entitled to the Earl of Dunbar.
4.John Hume, who in 1518 married Beatrix, oldest daughter and co.heir of Robert Blackjer of Blackadder ancestor to the Hume Baronets now of Blackadder.
5.Andrew Hume, Rector of Lander or larider.
6.Patrick Hume of Brookhouse or Brockhouse.
Our "original" copy of the Pedigree is at the printers.The copy we have here is a copy of our "original" and is a little difficult to decipher, so not sure about all the words.It lists no daughters.It goes on to list Sir David's two sons:George Hume m. Janet Hepburn, heir to his father 20th Nov. 1524 and to his grandfather in the part of the lands of Polworth; was killed in the Battle of Pinkie 10th Sept. 1545, S.P.David Hume, War at Minot Jonston, The Battle of Pinkie; He died in 1574.He left three sons:Sir George Hume m. Jane (looks like Malden) was restored heir to his father, David, 6th Oct. 1574. died 1615.James Hume, Parson of Hilton and John Hume, a descendant of his laid claim to the title of Earl of Dunbar.Sir George's son, Sir David m. Margoret, daughter of John Coldingknows.Their son, George m. Katherine, daughter of Alexander Morrison.He and HIS father were both killed in 1650 at the battle of Dunbar.
It goes on, but this gives you an idea of what we have for five generations.We hope it helps.Let us know if you are interested in a copy of the pedigree.
