He had two sons; the younger, James Calder, settled at Elgin, and had a son who appears to have been in business there from 1607 to 1636. His son, Thomas Calder, purchased in 1639 the lands of Sheriffmiln, near Elgin. He was provost of Elgin in 1665, and in 1669 completed the building of a noble mansion there. His eldest son, James Calder, laird of Muirtoune, was created a baronet of Scotland and Nova Scotia, 5th November, 1686."
