The Interface.
Ideally the Interface should be represented by a three dimensional model; (1)Location, (2) Time and (3) Population Movement; but, for ease of display, let us, for the moment, use the simple grid system:- viz,
(1) "Location" as the vertical "x" axis, expressed as Parishes (copy of county parish maps available from- www.ihgs.ac.uk/ );
(2) "Time" as the horizontal "y" axis, expressed as both "Approximate Dates" and as "Generations";
(3) "Population Movement" indicated by the "plotting" on the grid of individuals identified either by an "M" number ( see DATUM IV - Biographical Notes ) or by a date ( the date being the year of the baptism of his first child as per I.G.I. ); or both if considered to be the same individual.

Commentary.
As was said on the main Angus County Page, the "Timeline" identifies one direct line towards Dundee, and another line through Flemington, which ended in 1628 when Thomas M122 sold out.
The "return" of John M167, having sold Craigievar, and his relationship with Lord Glammis is significant on two counts; (1) it indicates the family ties between the various branches of the Mortimers and (2) the patronage of Lord Glammis which is confirmed by number of Mortimers with holdings on his Strathmore estate.
We believe that, contemporaneously with Thomas M167, ( i.e. the 18th generation), other Mortimers farmed in the neighbourhood of Flemington, being relatives, descendents of earlier branches ( younger sons ): These will now be searched for; and, hopefully, we can then "infill" the 19th generation.
