John (the fourth Laird) was named in a 1587 Act of the Scottish Parliament as one of "The General Band" of Landowners, and he continued to carry some of his father's high-profile. He had at least two sons by Margaret Elphinstone, the eldest of which was also called John. After her death, he married Elizabeth (daughter of Lord Boyd, prior to 6 February 1575/76 and Killermont was resigned to him by his father after their marriage.

John became the fifth laird in 1590, sold Killermont House in 1628 and died without issue 1635. He was succeeded by his brother James as sixth laird. James' son (also James) is believed to have inherited the title (of seventh Laird) and little else about 1660. The house at Drumquhassle passed into the ownership of the Govane family who rebuilt the house in Drymen, Stirlingshire.
