Morthers unidentified:
Robert was "the second son". From 1582-1593 his father administered on his behalf the sunny side of Garlott, leased from Lord Ogilvie. In 1591/2 Robert bought Pressock in the barony of Gardyne from Garden of that Ilk to be shared with his wife as part of their marriage contract. In 1597 he had rights to two-ninths of Inverbervie known as "freris Syllisflet", and in 1597 shared a charter for Cononsyth with his father. In 1591 he had a marriage contract with Margaret Ross, who by 1606 was re-married to a Robert Fraser, suggesting that Robert Rait had died by then. They had at least two, probably three, children, and theirs is the story of the Raits of Cononsyth which is related separately (see also under Raitts in the 1841 census).

The third son may have been the Andrew Rait, who from 1604-1611 was a bailie in Inverbervie and had sasine on lands there. He was dead by 1612, and his daughter Helen had the Rev. Principal David Rait, served as her heir in the lands of Mill of Craigie.

The fourth son of the sixth Laird was the Rev. James. Born in about 1583 (and therefore presumably the son of Marjorie Barclay), he was a Regent in King's College, Aberdeen in 1610, before being inducted to the ministry in 1617 in the parish of Aberluthnott (Marykirk). In 1626 he was given, and almost immediately renounced, sasine on the Mains of Drumnagar by his nephew, the seventh Laird, but in 1637 accepted from him rights to lands in Aberluthnott. He was married to Isabella Blackburn, daughter of the Bishop of Aberdeen, and the younger sister of Janet who married the Rev. Archibald Rait. Both Archibald and James studied at King's College at a time when their relative, Principal David Rait, may have introduced them to the Bishop's daughters. James died in 1642, and he and his wife are commemorated on a tablet in Aberluthnott Church where he had preached for 25 years. They had one son, William, who started the dynasty of the Raits of Pitforthie.

At about this time there was a Rev. Archibald, minister of Kintore, Aberdeenshire, from 1602 to 1624, who was said to be a cadet of the Hallgreen family, and who may have been a son of William, the sixth laird. He married Janet, the daughter of Bishop Peter Blackburn of Aberdeen, and various records suggest that he benefited from a relationship with the Bishop and with his probably close relative, Principal David Rait of King's College in Aberdeen. He was the progenitor of the large family of Raits in Fyvie and Rayne parishes in Aberdeenshire, which will be the subject of a separate account.

The daughters of the sixth Laird of Hallgreen were Marjorie (or Margaret) who in 1600 married Alexander Chalmers of Cults, Aberdeenshire, and had a son, also Alexexander Chalmers; Elizabeth who married David Arbuthnott of Findowie in Angus (she died in 1593 or December 1595 and her husband in 1602) and had four daughters and a son Robert Arbuthnott (married to Margaret Graham, daughter of Sir William Graham of Claverhouse), who himself had a son called Robert Arbuthnott who married on 9 Nov 1641 Elizabeth, eldest daughter of William Rait, the eighth Laird of Hallgreen, (they had six boys and six girls); and Catherine who, from 1582-1593, had rights to the shadow half-lands of Garlott with her father as administrator on her behalf.
