Johanna married Sir John STEWART of Minto, Provost of Glasgow, son of Sir Robert STEWART of Minto, Provost of Glasgow and Janet MURRAY, by 16 February 1543(1544).¹ (Sir John STEWART of Minto, Provost of Glasgow was born about 1527, died February 1582(1583) ¹ and was buried 1582(1583) in Glasgow Cathedral, Glasgow, Scotland ¹.)

  Marriage Notes:

"Sir John Stewart of Minto was served heir to his father 20 May 1555. When about seven years old he was contracted in marriage to Margaret, eldest daughter of
George Maxwell of Cowglen, a girl of the same age. This marriage never appears to have been entered into, as on 8 November 1543, after the death of Margaret Maxwell, which occurred between 8 November 1542 and 20 January 1542-43, he raised a summons of reduction of certain dues which had been granted in security of the marriage on the ground that such obligation to marry (the parties being
minors) was from the first contrary to canon law.' He must have married very shortly afterwards, as he had a charter on 16 February 1543-44 to himself and his wife, Joanna Hepburne, of the lands of Wester Perthwlk, in the county of Renfrew."
