Patrick was only three years old when his father Patrick died in 1636.Being a minor, Patrick was under tutory, one of whom was M'Kie of Larg,who it is said took as his own by force, the 'Low Holm' and all themeadow on the side which went through the bog of Larg, where Culgow ranas the march until he turned it about. When twenty-five years of age,Patrick Heron married Mary, daughter of Peter M'Dowell of Machermore, andhad issue, twelve sons and three daughters. The only names given arethose of Andrew, stated to be the youngest and Janet who married aMcDowall and had issue. It would appear that only four sons reachedmanhood; that three went to Ireland and died there.
