Can anyone help confirm parentage for Christian Porteous who married Matthew Patton, "The Martyr"?

Notes in profile have Matthew next married Christiane PORTEOUS, daughter of James PORTEOUS and Christiane DOUGLAS, on 19 Jun 1639 in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland.

Ancestors of Kris Kristofferson among others.

Matthew Paton, shoemaker in Newmilns, who was taken at Pentland, and executed at Glasgow, December 19th, 1666. There is a monument in Glasgow - Matthew Patton was beheaded during the Pent land Rebellion because he was a Covenanter.

The monument stands in Glasgow, Scotland:

"Here lies the corpse of Robert Bunton, John Hart, Robert Scot, Matthew Patoun, John Richmond, James Johnston, Archibald Stewart, James Winning and John Main, who suffered at the Cross of Glasgow for their testimony of the covenants and work of the Reformation because they did not oun the Authority of the Tyrants destroying the same betwixt 1666 and 1668."

Scratch them as being ancestors of Kris Kristofferson. He’s from Rev. William Henry Patton & Jane Spires who was not the son of Matthew "Patoun The Martyr” Patton & his wife.
