See *Scots Peerage*, vol. III [1906], pp. 468-470. Sir James Shaw of
Sauchie married Christian, daughter of Sir David Bruce of Clackmannan, but
that Sir David was a *grandson* of the Sir David Bruce of Clackmannan who
married Jean Stewart of Lorn. Christian's mother was Mariota, daughter of
John Herries of Terreglas, and she (Christian) appears to have been born in
the 1470s, meaning that she married a later Sir James Shaw than the one who
was the father of Janet, wife of Sir Alexander Edmonstone of Duntreath.

William, thank you for your reply. I've seen the SP entry you
mention; but, I wonder if SP is in error about which Sir David Bruce
of Clackmannan was the father-in-law of which Sir James Shaw of
Sauchie. A Genealogical Tree of the Family of Buchanan of that Ilk
(written in Latin, dated 1602, but based upon earlier documents) was
published by John Guthrie Smith, F. S. A. Scot, in "Strathendrick and
Its Inhabitants from Early Times: An Account of the Parishes of
Kintry, Balfron, Killearn, Drymen, Buchanan, and Kilmaronock,"
(Glasgow: James MacLehose and Sons, Publishers to the University,
1896). That tree shows Sir Alexander Edmonstone of Duntreath [born
about 1455] married Janet Shaw, daughter of Sir James Shaw of Sauchie
and his wife, daughter of Bruce of Clackmannan. The tree contains
errors regarding parents of spouses farther from the central trunk of
the tree, so it may be in error here as well. But, the tree raises
enough doubt about the SP entry to warrant further research. I hope
someone knows of other Shaw of Sauchie and Bruce of Clackmannan
sources, even early charters, which will clarify these generations.
Thanks again,

So Christina Bruce’s husband is somewhere around here
Sir James Schaw of Sauchie
He is temporarily (I hope) this man
Sir James Schaw of Sauchie
And they need their children attached.
