Sir Eliseus Kinninmonth of Ceres (b c1370, d 1434) - continued above
1. James Kinninmonth
  A. John Kinninmonth of Craighall
  m. Isabella de Levyngston (possibly dau of Robert de Levyngston)
2. James Kinninmonth (b c1430)
  A. Andrew Kinninmonth 'of that ilk' of Craighall (b c1452, d c1514)
MacFarlane shows this Andrew as having died in May 1538 with the Andrew whom we show as having died in that month as son rather than brother of the William below who died at Flodden. We follow ER. The marriage to Agnes Wemyss is not mentioned by either MacFarlane or ER but is suggested by a cross-reference from the Wemyss records.
  m1. (c1475) Janet Clephane (dau of George Clephane)
  i. William Kinninmonth (dvp Flodden 09.09.1513)
  m. Marjorie Gray
  a. Andrew Kinninmonth 'of that ilk' of Craighall (d by 1549)
As noted above, MacFarlane suggests that this was the Andrew who married Janet Lindsay and others whom we show below as this Andrew's half-uncle. Possibly this was the Andrew who married ...
  m. Grisel Wemyss (dau of David Wemyss of Wemyss) not known if she was the mother of ...
  (1) Euphame Kinninmonth
  m. (1559) William Duddingston, 3rd of Sandford
  ii. Janet Kinninmonth
  m. Thomas Porterfield
  m2. (mcrt 13.04.1484) Agnes Wemyss (dau of Sir John Wemyss of Strathardle, later of Wemyss)
  m3. (c1485) Katherine Halkheid or Halkherde
  iii. Andrew Kinninmonth (b c1486, d 05.1538)
  MacFarlane shows his marriages in the order Janet Lindsay (mother of Patrick), Margaret Abercrombie, then Elizabeth Barclay. We follow ER.
  m1. Margaret Abercrombie
m2. Elizabeth Barclay (possibly dau of David Barclay of Collairny)
  m3. (04.07.1526) Janet Lindsay (dau of Sir John Lindsay of Pitcruvie, Master of Lindsay)
  a. Patrick Kinninmonth of Craighall (b 04.1520, d 1580)
ER shows his marriages in the order Elizabeth Abercrombie (mother of the first Andrew), Christian Beaton (mother of the other children), then Elizabeth Wemyss. We follow MacFarlane in showing Christian Beaton as Patrick's 3rd wife because her first husband did not die until 1577. MacFarlane stops with this Patrick (along with the Effie or Eupham who married Sir William Duddingston whom we show above). However, 'East Neuk of Fife' (Walter Wood, 1887, p253) suggests that Patrick married Elizabeth Abercrombie in 1552.
  m1. Elizabeth Abercrombie
  (1) Andrew Kinninmonth (b c1546, d young?)
  (2) Andrew Kinninmonth of that ilk of Craighall (b c1551, d 1590)
ER shows only Andrew's marriage to Cecilia Wemyss but cross-references from elsewhere in the database suggest that he may have already been married twice before that marriage.
