Dan Byrnes has this to say about these chidren - "Colonel John also had a brother Dugald (of Torblaren, Kilmorey) who married Margaret Maxwell, who also had children going out to Jamaica, Peter or Patrick (died 1739) of Fish River, who married Deborah Lewis; a brother Duncan, a Glasgow merchant, and a sister Bessie who on 3 January 1689 married Colin Campbell of Attichuan; a sister Elizabeth who in 1681 married a sheriff, Colin Campbell (died 1721); and a mysterious sister, not named, who became the mother (by a man difficult to identify) of Neil (1678-1761). This Neil became the father of Duncan (1726-1803) referred to above in 1757, about to dispose of a ship, as a (first) cousin of the son Colin of Colonel John of Black River. "
