  Marriage Notes:

"Patrick Kinnaird of Inchture was served heir to his father 26 April 1581, the lands having been in non-entry for two months and twenty days. He died in February 1581-82, having married first, before 2 October 1542, Mariota Hepburn ; on that date they, as spouses, got a charter in feu-farm of the lands of Inchture. She must have died before 1568, and he must have married, secondly, Margaret Moncur, daughter of Andrew Moncur of that Ilk, with whom he got a charter from his father on 19 May of that year.

He had issue, probably by his second wife (see Note below) : 1. Patrick, who succeeded. 2. George, married (contract 6 October 1592) Elizabeth, daughter of Andrew Moncur in Rawis. 3. Elizabeth, married to Patrick Ogilvy of Inchmartin."

from Scots Peerage (vol 5)

Note:

No grounds are noted in the text for assuming all of the offspring are children of Patrick's second wife, Margaret Moncur. From the point of view of dates alone, there is a good argument to be made that Patrick at least was born before 1568, and therefore son of Mariota Hepburn. More evidence is needed to clear this up. ¹
