Rev. Hugh CONN is not of the Aberdeenshire, SCT lineage. Neither is the England line connected to Rev. Hugh CONN. So forget that if you have been sent that info.
Rev. Hugh C. ancestors were from Ayrshire, SCT according to a CONN living in Magilligan until his death a few years ago. I made 2 visits to him before his death. I have his documentation back to Thomas CONN b.1745 d. 17 Apr 1823 and have seen his grave in the original cemetery - not the 'new' church/cemetery in Magilligan. The old cemetery and church is now owned by the Catholic Church.
Also a 2d documented DNA to a John CONN b. 1754 Ayrshire. If not a direct connection to Rev. Hugh CONN it is a close connection which would prove Rev. Hugh's ancestors there as told by the CONN living in Magilligan. He mentioned it had been passed down in his family a young man walking from Magilligan to the port for a boat to Glasgow to attend the university. I have a copy of Hugh CONNs signature at the university and a picture of the portion of the original univeristy that has been moved to the existing university.
In past correspondence with John Carr we were never able to have a documented connection, but the possibility is there.
