  TSP reports that Sir John's wife "has not been satisfactorily ascertained" but BE1883 identifies her as Mary Maxwell, daughter of John 4th Lord. As there is a lack of identification of the spouses over the next few generations and TSP identifies Mary Maxwell as probable wife of one of them (a James) and as the Maxwell records indicate that Mary married a James Johnstone for whom the dates seem a better fit than this generation, we follow TSP and leave this laird's wife as unidentified.
