    Montrose wasn't shown to be giving Archie any money which is probably why Archie compounded with the Factor for the robbery and murder.

    Also Montrose shows no emotion at Archie's demise. The rest of us are clapping and cheering!

    So I don't think he was the father

    But Montrose did give him room, board, and a quiet place where he could live down the life he had led in the south.

    Well, he would have been disappointed in Cunningham if he had been legitimate; being a bastard compounded that.

    Add my vote to the father/son camp.
