Many errors here. His first wife, Sibilla Ogilvy, had only one child, David Falconar, who was born about 1625 in Dundee. His children by Esther Briot begin with John (later Sir) John Falconer, baptized in 1636 at Edinburgh. There were many children born afterwards, but Robert, merchant in London, seems to have been the only one who reached adulthood.

Many errors here. See my book _Falconer of Halkerton_ (1997) for the correct information. Since then I have found that he was a burgess of Dundee, and his son David was probably born there 1624-5. Sir James Falconer of Phesdo was not his son, but the son of his second cousin John Falconer. John Falconer of Balmakellie was his eldest son by his second wife, Sibilla Ogilvie.
