| BLG1952 reports that John had 7 sons by Blanche Murray and more issue by Janet Jardine. The jennahawk web site shows the following additional children all by Blanche Murray. Noting that one of the sons might have been father of the John mentioned in note @@ above, we have some uncertainty on who was the mother of John's daughters. However, a contributor (CV, 26.05.09) kindly advised us that 'The Historical Families of Dumfriesshire' by C.L. Johnstone reports that the daughters of this marriage included Marion and the wife of Gilbert Johnstone of Wamphray. | |||||||||||||||
