Of the first marriage was Alexander, who got his lands of Caskieben erected into a barony in 1502, and from that date this family has been known as ' of that Ilk.' George, the great-greatgrandson of Alexander, died 1593, leaving several sons. Two of these were Arthur Johnston, the poet, and William Johnston, M.D ; the eldest son was John, who died 1 614."
