When his first wife died is not certain, but he married, secondly, Helen, daughter of Thomas Kennedy of Bargany." Helen next married John GRAHAM younger, of Knockdoliane on 8 May 1590.1 (John GRAHAM younger, of Knockdoliane was born about 1560.) Marriage Notes: "... Helen, daughter of Thomas Kennedy of Bargany ....had been contracted to John Graham, younger of Knokdoliane, and arrangements were made for their settlement before 26 April 1583, but these must have been set aside when she married the Master (of Eglinton). After the Earl's death she was, at Bargany on 8 May 1590, again contracted to John Graham, who ratified the terms of the former contract, and they were completed."
