3. John, whose name is found in a charter dated the 22nd of July, 1426, as "John, the Elder, uncle to George, tenth Baron of Fowlis", in which charter, as stated hereafter, he, with his nephew the Laird of Fowlis, and John the Younger, are included by Sir John Forrester in anenntail of the lands of Corstorphine.

The family MS. states that the wife of Robert Munro of Fowlis was a daughter of Forrester of Corstorphine, while Sir Rober Gordon infers, but somewhat obscurely, that Gerse, or Grace, sister of Sir John Forrester of Corstorphine, married "Munroe of Fowlis" alluding apparently to George, Robert's father, though the reference might possibly apply to Robert. The lady was, apparently, a daughter of Sir Adam Forrester, an opulent merchant in Edinburgh, who, in 1363, is styled "Adam Forrester, mercator de Scotia". He was Lord Provost of that city, 1373-1378, and in 1387, was taken prisoner at the battle of Homildon Hill on the 14th of September 1402, but was speedily ransomed, and about the same time, obtained the honor of knighthood. He died at an advanced age, on the 13th of October, 1405.
