| The following Alexander is not mentioned by either 'Baronage' or Jack Blair but he is clearly identified in 'Living in St. Andrews' (see under 'Carstairs01') as of Carslogie with the family mentioned below. | |||||||||||||||
| ((ii)) | Alexander Clephane 'of Carslogie' assumed of this generation | ||||||||||||||
| m. Catherine Carstairs (b c1550, d 1583, dau of William Carstairs) | |||||||||||||||
| ((a)) | Margaret Clephane | ||||||||||||||
| 'Living in St. Andrews' suggests that this is the Margaret who married John Anstruther of that ilk (see ((D)) below). | |||||||||||||||
| ((b)) | Catharine Clephane (d 1609 plague) | -- | |||||||||||||
| m. (1567) John Martine (d 1608, Bailie of St Andrews) | -- | ||||||||||||||
| ((B)) | James Clephane of Hilcairney (d c1560) | ||||||||||||||

| m2. Margaret Oliphant (d 17.08.1580, dau of Laurence Oliphant, 3rd Lord) | |||||||||||||||
| TSP (Oliphant) reports that Margaret married "James Clephane of Hilcairnie, by whom she had three sons and three daughters". Margaret's first husband died in 1558. Unless they had sextuplets, which TSP would probably have mentioned (!), the dates make this look 'difficult' unless James's first wife died soon after their marriage, James & Margaret married soon after, and the 'about 1560' date for James's death is misleading and should be (say) 1565 or later. | |||||||||||||||
| ((i))+ | 3 sons and 3 daughters | ||||||||||||||
| ((C)) | Helen Clephane (b 01.04.1554, d 02.1607/8) step-mother of Jean who became her sister-in-law | ||||||||||||||
