  Dunfermline Golf Club The magnificent Pitfirrane House, historic home of the HALKETT family since the 15th century, became the clubhouse for the Dunfermline Golf Club in 1953. It's unlikely that Andrew ever lived in the house, but he would have been aware of it.

• Notes

  Birthplace if variously listed at Putferin, Scotland; Putferin, NB (North Britain aka Scotland); and Pitferran. Pitfirrane is a policy, a Scottish term for the improved grounds that surround a country house. It is located near Dunfermline, which was the capital of Scotland at the time. Andrew's occupation as a tailor and his position as the Keeper of the Robes for Prince Henry son of King James VI may explain why he might have moved to England when King James ascended to the throne of England as King James I in 1603. An account of the life and death of ... John Hacket, ed., with additions, by M.E.C. Walcott: "His father was a tailor, and died 1621; he left to his two daughters, Elizabeth and Mary, 100 pounds each, and to his only son, John, the subject of this memoir, his dwelling house and chattels."

A baronet is the holder of a baronetcy, a hereditary title awarded by the British Crown. The practice of awarding baronetcies was originally introduced in England in the 14th century and was used by James I of England in 1611 as a means of raising funds. According to the Annals of Dunfermline, the first Halkett Baronet was created in 1662, which is more than 100 years after Andrews reported birth.
