I don't know why Graham was added as her married surname, but I find no evidence to support that claim. Her maiden name was Lindsay and she married John Hamilton. They had many children and she outlived her husband but I find no proof of any other marriages. After her husband's death she seems to have been actively involved with her already established home and family.

On image 460 (p. 378) of "the Memorials of the Earls of Haddington" there is a detailed genealogical chart for this family:
