OGILVY, John of Milton ²

   User ID: A233.

John married Ann DOUGLAS, daughter of James DOUGLAS Commendator of Melrose Abbey and Helen SCOTT 'of Abbotshall', in 1619.¹ (Ann DOUGLAS was born about 1604.)

  Marriage Notes:

"Walter Ogilvie, who had been in Auchoynany in his father's lifetime, inherited Milton as well in 1610 on his father's death, but although he is on occasion referred to as 'of Milton' he seems to have preferred to remain in his original home, and on the marriage of his son John to Ann Douglas, daughter of James Lord Melrose in 1619 he made over Milton to them."

John next married Jean INNES, daughter of Alexander INNES of Coxton and Janet REID, in 1633.¹ (Jean INNES was born about 1590.)

  Marriage Notes:

"In 1633 John Ogilvie of Milton married as his second wife Jean Innes, daughter of Alexander Innes of Coxton, that gaunt and formidable fortress tower which still stands near Lhanbryde. She was the widow of Robert Innes, Baillie of Elgin, whom she had married nine years before."

from Keith and its Lairds

Note:

It is unclear whether Robert Innes, burgess of Elgin, had a son also named Robert who was also an office holder in the town, and whether Jean Innes was a second wife of the elder Robert Innes or a wife of a possible son. The dates seem problematic. ¹
