  Marriage Notes:

"Sir John was not legally married, so far as known, but there is clear evidence that he had two sons whose mother is said to have been Elizabeth Cruickshanks, daughter of the Laird of Aswanley the 'Jock' and 'Tam' Gordon of popular fame, styled natural sons, but probably the offspring of a handfasting union, who in the Highlands were not accounted illegitimate, though not recognised by the law or the Church."
