- This was Lady Jean's second marriage ,she was previously married to George Haldane, 8th of Gleneagles.
In 1596 King James granted leave for Thomasand his eldest son Thomas(aged about 18 years) to depart for France,Flanders and other area's with his wife and family ,for a period of five years ,and placed a protection order over all Closeburn lands.Whether Thomas was removing his family due to concerns regarding their safety,exploring business opportunities,or on a mission for his King is not recorded.Also it is not known if the journey ever eventuated ,as his eldest son Thomas married Agnes Charteris in 1599 at Kirkmahoe.
Despite the huge land tracts under their control ,the family finances and reputation were in tatters. His successor,Thomas,the eldest son , proved to be a belligerent son and extremely violent at times.
