Additional names
John Mowat of Loscragy and Freswick11507
John Movat of Loscragy224 June 1494
although his father must have been still alive at that date.
Parents
Father:3Alexander Mowat of Loscragy (-1495)
Mother:4(Unknown) Leslie (-)
It seems likely that the daughter of William Leslie of Balquhain was the mother of John Mowat of Loscragy. She was most likely also the mother of Patrick Stewart of Laithers. John Mowat and Patrick Stewart thus become half brothers, which would explain why Patrick is witnessing the charter John gave to his brother Alexander in 1507.
Spouses and relationship events
Married:5(Unknown) Forbes (-)
The daughter of Alexander Forbes of Pitsligo married the laird of Balquholly (=Loscragy). That must have been John for cronological reasons.
Married:6long before 1507(Unknown) Keith (-)
As the mother of Gilbert Mowat of Brabistermyre appears to have been a sister of William Keith of Inverugie, and this William is witnessing a charter from John Mowat to his brother Alexander in 1507 it seems it was John Mowat of Loscragy who married the daughter of William Keith and was the father of Gilbert Mowat of Brabistermyre. Gilbert appears to be an adult in 1506.
Children
Children with (Unknown) Forbes:
Magnus Mowat of Balquholly (-after 8 August 1526)7
Children with (Unknown) Keith:
Gilbert Mowat of Brabistermyre (-after 19 July 1528), captain of Ackergill Tower8
Gilbert appears to have been a grandson of Gilbert Keith of Inverugie and a nephew of William Keith of Inverugie. As William Keith is witnessing the charter from John Mowat of Loscragy to his brother Alexander in 1507, it seems likely that it was John who married the daughter of Gilbert Keith and was the father of Gilbert Mowat.

Personal Info
He witnessed a charter to William Fraser of Philort 25 March 1506.11
In 1508 he is called "of Loscragy and Freswick".12
He was a jury member in 1509 in Aberdeen.13
He had a sasine of the lands of Freswick from the king 10 May 1496.14
He had a sasine of Loscragy, Balquholly (Bawquholly), and Qwelp in the county of Aberdeenshire and of Freswick (Fraseweke) in the county of Inverness, both in 1495.15
18 January 1503 his wife (it says wife, not former wife, so she was apparently still living) was said to be the sister of the wife of John Gardin of Laithers. It also seems both John Mowat, as well as Malcolm Forbes of Touchone are related to John Gardin by the fourth degree (third cousins). If "Malcolm Forbes of Touchone" is Malcolm Forbes of Tolquhoun, he was related in the fourth degree to the Forbes wife of John Mowat, so that might be the relationship indicated.16
He is mentioned 24 April 1498 in an inquiry together with William Fraser, brother and curator of the Lord of Philorth, Malcolm Forbes of Tolquhone, Andrew Fraser of Stainwood, Alexander Burnett, son and heir apparent of Alexander Burnett of Leys, William Crawford of Federay, Alexander Skene of that Ilk, John Mowat of Loscragy, Walter Innes of Auldcass, William Udny of that Ilk, Andrew Tulidef of that Ilk, Alexander Johnston of that Ilk, William Chalmer of Balnacraig, and Patrick Bisset of Lessendrum.17
27 October 1506 the following men confirmed that James Leslie of Pitcaple had died in the presence of his son David: Thomas Fraser of Stoneywood, William Crawford of Federay, John Mowat of Loscragy, William Turing of Foveran, Alexander Skene of that Ilk, James Cheyne of Straloch, John Ross of Auchlossin, Alexander Tulloche of Moncoffer, Robert Burnett of Balmad, John Forbes of Echt, Alexander Johnstone of that Ilk, John Gardin of Laithers, Ranald Udny, son and heir of William Udny of that Ilk, Andrew Craig of Craigsfintray, and Alexander Caldour of Sonnaherd.18
16 March 1500-1 John was instructed by the Lords of Council to pay the rent for some fishing rights in the barony of Newburgh. He had not paid the rents for the four years after his father died.19
