        Vaus married his second wife Katherine Kennedy in 1573, she was the daughter of Gilbert Kennedy, 3rd Earl of Cassilis and Margaret Kennedy (died 1580), a daughter of Thomas Kennedy of Bargany. They had at least ten children.

        Her mother, Margaret Kennedy, Countess of Cassilis, wrote to Katherine Kennedy in November 1578 from Maybole Castle. She wanted her daughter, who was in Edinburgh, to buy velvet for a cloak to match a doublet and skirt, with a small "champ" or fielded pattern. The cloak should be lined with rabbit fur. She also wanted a marten fur to line a gown, and a furred petticoat. The countess wanted plain bracelets with a lock or clasp, and a "tablatt" or locket with a "just dyackle", a compass dial. She could buy a pearl for it cheaper than £3 herself. She also a "laich", low bed. She had received a description of a skirt made of "rammage" pattened fabric for the President's wife Margaret Balfour and wanted a cloak made of the same.[8]

        Some of Katherine's letters survive. She wrote to the steward at Barnbarroch, George Vaus, to instruct him to shear the sheep when the weather was right, to compel the farm servants to work at the mill by threatening to sell their goods, and see that Jonet MacDowall was spinning wool, some of the wool should be used for a new table cloth for her extending dining table.[9] In September 1587 Vaus gave her and her factor William Dunbar rights to manage his rents and crops for three years for the 10,000 Scots that he owed her.[10]

        A son Richard Waus was granted the vicarage of Leswalt and Inch in Wigton in March 1580. This benefice was previously held by the master of the royal works William MacDowall.
