| Sir John Hamilton of Rossaven (Lanarkshire) & Fingalton (Renfrewshire) (b before 1365?, d c1402) |
(1) Anderson shows the first Sir John of this line as 2 generations earlier than is believed to be correct and then inserts 2 additional generations of Sir Johns before this Sir John. Of the first Sir John, Anderson reports that his "matrimonial connexions are doubtful", disregarding suggestions (by Crawfurd) that he married a dau of Sir Robert de Cruck of Cruckston. Of the 2nd Sir John, Anderson supports Crawfurd's suggestion that he married Margaret, dau of Sir William Baillie of Hoprig. Of the 3rd Sir John, Anderson supports the suggestion that he probably married a younger sister of Janet, dau/coheir of Sir William Keith of Galston.
