SIR GAVIN MAXWELL, FOURTH OF CALDERWOOK, 1481-1489,

To whom his father propelled the succession to his estates in his own lifetime by the charters stated in the memoir of his father, which were confirmed by the Crown on 12th April 1487.

Sir Gavin did not long enjoy the family estates, having predeceased his father within a few years after obtaining them and before 19th February 1489.

He was twice married:

(1) First to Agnes, daughter of “Duncan of Dundas,” and

(2) secondly, to Elizabeth Lowys, who survived him.

On the 19th February 1489, Elizabeth, as his relict, along with Duncan Dundas, father of Agnes, his first wife, obtained a transumpt of nine of the old family charters, which were in Duncan’s custody, and of which Elizabeth also wished to possess authentic copies for the benefit of her children. Though these charters only name Robert, it appears from them that Sir Gavin had several children.

These were:

1. Robert, by the first marriage, who succeeded his father. 2. William apparently of the second marriage, designated of Newlands. He afterwards acquired the lands of Meldrum; and from him, it is understood, are descended the Maxwells of Cardoness, in the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, … 3. Isabella, married to Robert Porterfield of that Ilk. By a Crown charter, dated 16th December 1500, the lands of Porterfield were confirmed to Robert Porterfield, son of John Porterfield of that Ilk, and Isabella Maxwell, his spouse; and “this Isabella Maxwell, as hath been constantly believed, was a daughter of the family of Calderwood.
