Mr. Plenderleath married Jounat, daughter of Murray of Kalmyre. By the lady he had seven children, Bethea, Archibald, Walter, Alexander, John and Jounat; of none of who we know anything save of the last; and of her only that she lived less than a year, and was buried in 1705 in the Greyfriars' Churchyard in Edinburgh. Her father followed her the same year, and is recorded as having been the eighteenth person of the family buried in that place, including his two wives and fifteen children.

David Plenderleath, (son of the above) of Blyth and Kailzie, to which properties he added also Glen in Peebleshire, was born at Edinburgh, November 2nd 1677. He like his father was a member of the legal profession, having been called to the bar, but seens never to have practised. He lived chiefly at Kailzie ; and there appears in the Instrumenta Publica, Vol. II, p. 466, a "Ratification in favour of W. David Plenderleath, of Blyth, advocat, and his spouse, of the barony of Kailzie." The appendix to this volume gives the name of the spouse in question as Helen Balfour. She was a daughter of Balfour of Balbirnie. She lived with her husband for nineteen years and died at Kailzie, childless, in 1724.
