"Before or about this time (about 1626) Lochinvar married Jean Campbell, third daughter of Archibald, seventh Earl of Argyll, and sister of the Marquess. Sir John and his wife took up a prominent position in the councils of the Presbyterian party in the south-west, and a memorable connection was formed between Rutherford and their household." (page 118)
"Lord Kenmure married, as before stated, Jean Campbell of the Argyll family, who survived him, and was married, secondly, on 21 February 1640, to Sir Harry Montgomerie of Giffen, second son of Alexander, sixth Earl of Eglinton, but became again a widow on 3 May 1644. She died in February 1675, and was interred in Greyfriars burying ground, Edinburgh, on the 26th. To her was dedicated The Turtle Dove by John Fullarton of Carleton, 1664 ; and Livingstone in 1672 speaks of her as one of his oldest acquaintances then alive in Scotland. Robert M' Ward was also one of her correspondents. She was credited with some little skill of 'physiognomy ' on the ground of her having foretold that her brother the Marquess of Argyll would die in blood. Lord Kenmure was predeceased by 'many,' or at least by several, children, and survived byone son,
II. John, second Viscount of Kenmure" (page 120)
