- In 1474, now extant and in the public archives at Edinburg, it appears, that this Uchtred Knox, promiscuously designed of the ILK and of Ranfurley was son and heir to John Knox of that ILK or Knox , Ranfurley and Grieff Castle. -The said Uchtred Knox was one of the arbiters between the Abbot of Paisley and the town of Renfrew, in a dispute about their marches in 1488. He married Agnes Lyle daughter of Lord Lyle, whose family estate was in the neighbourhood of Renfrew; by her he left issue of two sons; Uchtred or Uchter Knox his successor and George Knox (who married Janet Fleming a daughter of the ancient house of Barrochan in the county of Renfrew, where the family yet liveth) to whom and to his said wife Janet, his father gave half the lands of Knox, and their charter bears date in 1503.
