No record of marriage except that he was a son of Ninian, and father of John, of Stobcross. He was also a magistrate of Glasgow at the time of the capitulating of Glasgow with James Graham the Marquis of Montrose in August 1645. John dinned with Montrose and on retiring, it is alleged, kissed his hand and wished him success. Whereupon the Coucil were all deposed from their offices by the Earl of Lanark - except the Provost. John protested (the date being Sept. 30, 1645.)
