      107521. Mariota Janet (Elizabeth) Maxwell, born Abt. 1410 in Calderwood, Scotland; died Unknown.

  Notes for Mariota Janet (Elizabeth) Maxwell:
The wife of John de Knocks may not be named Elizabeth, and may be Mariota Maxwell - who was also known as Janet, and who also did marry Robert Boyd. She is the only daughter of Sir Robert of Calderwood and the sister of Sir John Maxwell of Calderwood, (not his daughter, as is found across the Internet.) I can not verify that Mariota was married twice, but this seems to be the most likely daughter of all the Robert Maxwells.

The lineage information for the Knox line states that ......Adamus had a son, Johanne del Cnok, who married Isabel, daughter and co-heir of Robert, Lord Ros of Werke; who had a son, Uchtred do Knocks, who had a son, John de Knocks, who by his wife the only child of Sir Robert Maxwell, of Calderwood, by Elizabeth the co-heiress of Sir Robert Demiss has two sons, Uchtred and William Knoxks who married Jean Sinclair of high lineage.......

As you can see, it is difficult to trace the generations with the above information.

Mariota Maxwell Mariota Maxwell (aka Mariot and Janet) Maxwell was born c1430. She married Robert Boyd. They had five children:
