| He is mentioned as John, son of Alan Montgomery, in a charter relating to the lands of Innerwick, which Sir William Fraser dates about 1170, but which must be much later. He was then, through his wife, in possession of part of Innerwick. He is named in other writs, sometimes by himself and sometimes with his brother Robert, who is usually placed first. He married Helen, one of the daughters and heiresses of Robert Kent of Innerwick, and apparently held a third part of the barony. Besides the charter of Innerwick above referred to, he, with Helen, his wife, and the other portioners, joined in another grant of the same lands to the monks of Kelso, which was dated in or after 1239, as Philip, Abbot of Jedburgh, who became Abbot in that year, is a witness.4 | ||
