| BLG1886 (Kennedy of Bennane and Finnarts) suggests that John married the heiress of Sir Neil Montgomerie of Cassilis and had 2 sons: Sir Gilbert, his successor, and Sir Hew of Ardstynchar (d unm). TSP reports that, if John did marry a Montgomerie, she must have been his second wife. | |||||||||||||||
