John married Isabel ROSE, daughter of Hugh ROSE 8th of Kilravock and Isabel SUTHERLAND.1 2 (Isabel ROSE was born about 1476.)


  Marriage Notes:

"I find this Hugh Rose of Kilravock to have hade three daughters ; the eldest named Isabel, contracted with John Calder, designed son and appearand heir to Wiliam Thane of Calder, May 10, 1492 ; this Hugh, his father, then living. This Isabel appears to have been daughter to Isabel Sutherland, his first spous : for that she was not daughter to Margaret Gordon appears from this, that betwext the date of Margaret Gordons contract, being 1484, and her own in 1492, there interveens but eight years, in which this Isabel could not have been mariageable ; but betwext the contract with Isabel Sutherland in 1474, and her contract 1492, there interveened eighteen years ; at which tyme the said Isabel might have maried."

In virtue thereof, John was infeft in the year 1493, and the father, then aged, gave up the estate to him. He married, in 1492, Isabella, daughter of Hugh Rose of Kilravock, and died in 1498. Two daughters, Janet and Murriel, were born after his death. Janet died while yet a mere child, and Murriel succeeded to the estate, in virtue of the above-mentioned entail."
