User ID: V811.
John married Margaret BORTHWICK, daughter of Sir William DE BORTHWICK 2nd of of that Ilk and Beatrice SINCLAIR.1 2 (Margaret BORTHWICK was born about 1415.)
Marriage Notes:
"Margaret (Borthwick), married to Sir John Maxwell of Calderwood, before 4 December 1450."
from Scots Peerage (vol 2)
Note:
This dating of the marriage is not particularly helpful. It must have been quite a time before December 1450, since the couple's grandson, Thomas, Earl of Arran, married a princess of Scots before 26 April 1467.
"Sir John Maxwell married, first, Margaret, daughter of William second (see Note below) Lord Borthwick, by whom he had one son and two daughters. She predeceased Sir John."
from Memoirs of the Maxwells of Pollok
Note:
As with the earlier extract, the dating does not appear to permit Margaret, if married to this John Maxwell, being the daughter of the 2nd Lord Borthwick. 1 2
John next married Margaret RUTHERFORD.2 (Margaret RUTHERFORD was born about 1425.)
Marriage Notes:
"Sir John Maxwell married .... secondly, Margaret Rutherford,' by whom he had one son, George. Margaret Rutherford survived Sir John."
from Memoirs of the Maxwells of Pollok 2
