Note on Husband: John LAUDER
Mentioned in his mother’s Testament, John Lauder was a highly successful merchant-burgess and baillie of Edinburgh. He acquired substantial estates including the lands of Woodhead with others in East Lothian, which were erected into the feudal barony of Fountainhall in 1682. He also purchased from his third father-in-law the lands of Idingtoun [Edington] in Berwickshire. Subsequetly he matriculated arms, as descended of a second son of Lauder of that Ilk, but with differences. In 1688 he was created a Baronet of Nova Scotia. This patent was ‘reduced’ in 1690 [cancelled in 1692] and replaced that year with a new patent altering the succession.
He had 24 children.
He married firstly, 20th November 1639 at Edinburgh, Margaret (bapt. 17th February 1618 at Edinburgh, died there in 1643) daughter of James Speirs by his wife Catherine Curie. He married secondly 17th July 1643 at Edinburgh, Isabel (bapt.27th July 1628, Edinburgh; died 2nd February 1669, Edinburgh – interred in Greyfriars Church) daughter of Alexander Ellis, of Morton Hall and Stanhopmilnes by his wife Elisabeth Edward.
Thirdly Sir John Lauder married, 15th February 1670, Margaret, daughter of George Ramsay of Idingtoun of the Dalhousie family, by his wife Margaret Seton. (Upon Sir John’s death Margaret Ramsay remarried William Cunninghame, younger of Brounhill, an advocate.)
