"Wives and Daughters of John Stewart, 1st Earl of Atholl - Part 1" (Brad Verity et al, May 15, 2014). < soc.genealogy.medieval >

Daughters of the 1st Earl of Atholl by his first wife Margaret Douglas:

1) [Elizabeth?] Stewart, married as his 2nd of 4 wives, Andrew, 2nd Lord Gray
She is called the first daughter of the 2nd wife by DP; the 2nd daughter of the 1st wife by BEP, listed as the 6th daughter in SP Atholl (1904), called the third daughter by the 1st wife in SP Gray (1907), and the 6th daughter of the 1st wife by CP 6 (1926), sub Gray.

I've not yet located a single primary document to verify this daughter's first name and marriage to Lord Gray. Considering that she was one of only four of the 1st Earl's daughters to marry peers, this is rather odd. Andrew, 2nd Lord Gray, had a complicated marital history. SP Gray says his parents were married "before 1445", and that he married Elizabeth Stewart "before 1483", but doesn't cite a source for either date:
https://archive.org/stream/scotspeeragefoun04pauluoft#page/276/mode...

The ODNB bio of the 2nd Lord Gray by Michael A. Penman simply follows SP when it comes to his wives and children, and doesn't estimate a birthdate for him, except to say he was probably a minor when he succeeded his grandfather in January 1470, which would make him born after 1450. He could not have been born too much later, as a marriage for him with a daughter of the Earl of Erroll was contracted in May 1457. SP Gray says Andrew the 2nd Lord had three children with his first wife Janet Keith, but provides no hint as to when that marriage occurred.

Other than each being involved in the rebellion against James III in 1482, there is nothing in the ODNB bios of the 1st Earl of Atholl and the 2nd Lord Gray to link them together politically, and Gray's ODNB bio has no particulars at all as to his activities in the 1470s. A document of October 1474 does however connect Atholl and Gray. The three named witnesses to the marriage contract Atholl made with the Earl of Huntly (see link to it below) are "Jamys Erle of Buchan & lorde Ouchterhous owr deirast brother Androw lorde Gray Silvester of Retray".

As Andrew Gray could have been born at any point between 1445 and 1457, it's possible he had married Atholl's daughter by October 1474 when he witnessed the marriage contract. Sadly neither of Gray's first two wives appear in the Registers of the Great Seal or Privy Seal of Scotland. Primary documents are needed to verify the first names and identification of Gray's first two spouses - it's odd that no marriage contract or settlement for either spouse exists.

At this point, Gray's marriage to a daughter of the 1st Earl of Atholl needs to be considered unsupported outside of secondary pedigrees.

According to tradition , she was captured in childhood by Sir John Campbell and a party of the Campbells, while out with her nurse near Calder castle. Her uncles pursued and overtook the division of the Campbells to whose care she had been intrusted, and would have rescued her but for the presence of mind of Campbell of Inverliver, who, seeing their approach, inverted a large camp kettle as if to conceal her, and commanding his seven sons to defend it to the death, hurried on with his prize. The young men were all slain, and when the Calders lifted up the kettle, no Muriel was there. Meanwhile so much time had been gained that further pursuit was useless. The nurse, just before the child was seized, bit off a joint of her li ttle finger, in order to mark her identity - a precaution which seems to have b een necessary, from Campbell of Auchinbreck's reply to one who, in the midst of their congratulations on arriving safely in Argyll with their charge, asked wh at was to be done should the child die before she was marriageable. "She can ne ver die", said he, "as long as a red-haired lassie can be found on either side of Lochawe!". It would appear that the heiress of the Calders had red hair.

• The attribution of his children between his wives is not certain. TSP(Atholl) does not even try to say which child was by which wife but BE1883 does give a lead. However, with TSP naming more daughters than BE1883, with some names being duplicated, some doubt remains on this matter which may be researched further in due course.
