  • Notes 
    • John was born about the middle of the fourteenth century, perhaps at Balmuto in Fife.

      His parentage is not clearly defined but he was probably grandson of John de Glen who had a charter of Balmuto in the reign of King Robert the Bruce.

      About 1380-85 he married Margaret Erskine daughter and co-heiress to Alan Erskine and Isabel Inchmartine of Inchmartine.

      He was knighted towards the end of the 1390's as he appears with other who were designed knights in a charter by William Scott of Balwearie while he is designed simply John of Glen. By about 1400 he was Sir John.

      His wife's sister Isabel shared in the estate of their parents including parts of Balmuto and Inchmartine.. She married Sir David de Wemyss the eldest son of Sir John de Wemyss of Reres and Kincaldrum. About 1400 the sisters and their spouses Sir John and Sir David, agreed to an exchange of lands for efficiency of management.

      Also about 1400, Sir John Glen of Balmuto was witness to a charter by Thomas Lord Erskine.

      Sir John and Margaret Erskine had three daughters:

      1.) Margery who married who Sir Andrew Ogilvy son of Auchterhouse who by this marriage gained the title of Inchmartine.

      2.) Isabel whomarried as second wife to Walter Ogilvy of Lintrathen

      3.) Christian who married David Ogilvy of Kinneff who by this marriage gained the title of Balmuto,

      About 1405, Sir John Glen granted the lands of Balhawell to Walter Ogilvy on his marriage to Isabel Glen. Sir John died about 1410 and was survived by his wife Margaret Erskine, Lady Inchmartine and their three daughters.
