  Marriage Notes:

"Sir John Elphinstone, the eldest son, obtained in the lifetime of his grandfather a grant of the fee of the lands of Pittendreich and Erthbeg. These lands were resigned by Henry in the hands of his superior, John, Lord Lindsay of the Byres, who, on 6 November 1477, gave two charters of these lands to John Elphinstone, with the provision that if Henry died while the grantee was in minority, the superior was to have the casualties of ward and relief. John also on the same day had a grant of the lands of Stirkshaw, co. Roxburgh, to himself and his wife on the resignation of his grandfather. These charters show that at the time of their being granted John Elphinstone was a minor, but married." (page 528)

Sir John (Elphinstone) married, first, a lady, whose Christian name was Euphemia, with whom he got a charter of the lands of Stirkshaw, now Stirches, co. Roxburgh, 6 November 1477." (page 529)
