The noted daughter Elizabeth Kennedy, Kennedy-1561, I believe to be incorrect.

An unnumbered Elizabeth Kennedy is the one that married Sir Alexander Stewart 4th.

Gilbert Kennedy 1st Lord Kennedy, his son John Kennedy 2nd Lord Kennedy, his daughter Elizabeth Kennedy, married John Rattray 11th of Rattray, their son Sir John Rattray.

John Kennedy of Blairquhan, his son Alexander Kennedy of Blairquhan, his daughter Elizabeth Kennedy of Blairquhan, married Sir Alexander Stewart 4th of Garlies, their son Sir Alexander Stewart 5th of Garlies.

His children could use some attention if anyone has the time & inclination. He's fairly well portrayed in Scots Peerage, so the basics could probably be covered using that as the first source. See his wife's profile, Elizabeth Montgomerie, for the Scots Peerage source links.
