| BIFR1976 reports that Uchtred's heir to Ranfurlie was John, father of Uchtred, father of John, whose son Uchtred dsp and was the last of this line of Knox of Ranfurly. MacFarlane's Genealogical Collection (vol 2) provides the following descent. | |||||||||||||||

| MacFarlane's names Uchtred's wife as Joan but she is called Elizabeth in Crawfurd's Renfrewshire.

Paterson's Ayr suggests that John Cuninghame was called Helen. | |||||||||||||||
