DE LAVEDRE (LAUDER), John 4th of that Ilk, '2nd son of Laudertown' ¹

   User ID: Q578

  General Notes:

"No particular record seems to have been found respecting the three immediate successors of this De Lavedre ; but there can be no doubt that the family had settled down on the estate granted by Malcolm to the first baron, as, a few generations later, mention is made of Joanni Lauder, filio secundo de Laudertown, who was succeeded by Robertus de Lavedre, a soldier of the Cross in 1188"

from Family of Lauder

Note:

Since Robertus de Lavedre, the crusader, was designated as fifth baron, it follows that there were three barons between him and the 1st baron of Lauder. And since John was a second son of Laudertown, it follows he had an elder brother. It is not outlandish to suggest the elder brother and the father of John were likely named Robert. ^{1 2}

John married.
