At
this stage, the main sources disagree. Crawfurd reports a John who in
1539 married Christian Ross then his son Sir John married Isabel Montgomery.
Crawfurd
does not show a John as marrying Janet Kennedy and shows William of Glanderston
as son of the younger son of the John who married Isabel Montgomery. We
follow BLG1952 which is supported by Commoners. |
