John married.


  Marriage Notes:

"In some old writings this John, third son of Ferquhard Cumyn, is called 'progenitor of the Cummings of Inverallachie,' by his son Jordanus. If so, John must have married the heiress of that branch of Aberdeenshire Cumyns, and his son must have been named after its first founder, 'Jurdan Cumyn,' whose charter, from Alexander Earl of Buchan, dates from 1277, of which also there is a confirmation charter by King James III. in Pub. Archiv., dated 12th April 1475, in which the first grant of 1277 is mentioned."
