«b»Biography«/b»
Johanna Douglas was born about 1335, her parentage is not clearly ascertained.
About 1355 she married Sir Hugh Gifford of Yester who inherited his father's Yester estates and his mother's Morham estates thus having lands from Roxburghshire in the Borders and Lothians and north in Perthshire and Angus.
After Sir Hugh died Johanna was engaged to Sir Nigel Cunningham and as they were related in the third degree, Papal consent was granted for thier marriage in March 1365/36.
Sir Nigel adopted the title of Yester through this marriage but her daughters on coming of full age each inherited a fourth part of the vast estate.
Johanna was still alive in 1400 when her son-in-law Eustace (Tassy) Maxwell granted her lands from the Barony of Duncanlaw to bequeath to a chapel of her choice.
