Note on Husband: John SHEDDEN
Information from The History of the County of Ayrshire dated Sep 1847.
John Shedden of Roughwood, eldest son of Robert Shedden (No. II.), succeeded his father in the lands of Roughwood and Millburn. In 1727, he married Jean Ralston, the eldest daughter of Gavin Ralston of that ilk, by his spouse, Anna Porterfield, eldest daughter of the marriage between William Porterfield of that ilk and Annabella Stewart, daughter of John Stewart of Blackhall, the direct male descendant of John, first of Blackhall, a natural son of Robert III. It appears, from the Parish Record of Beith, that there were numerous children of this marriage; but most of them died before their father.
