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

4) Mariote Stewart, married Colin Campbell, 3rd Laird of Glenorchy

She is called sixth daughter of 2nd wife by DP, 4th daughter of 2nd wife by BEP, and listed as the 10th daughter in SP Atholl (1904).

Most sources call this daughter 'Margery', but from her obit in the Chronicle of Fortingall, we know her name was 'Mariote', and that she died on 26 July 1529 [not 1524, as SP has it]:

"Obitus Mariote Stuart domine de Glenwrquhay xxvj die Julii apud Insulam de Lochtay, et sepulta in Finlark anno Domini mvxxviiij" https://archive.org/stream/blackbookoftaymo00inneuoft#page/120/mode...

Per Gordon MacGregor in the Campbell of Glenorchy pedigree in his Red Book of Scotland series, updated just this year, Mariote (whom he calls 'Margery') Stewart and the 3rd Laird of Glenorchy had an elder daughter,

"Mariota Campbell, m. by 5 October, 1498, William Stewart, 2nd of Balindoran, (he was widow of Janet, daughter of Archibald Buchannan of Lettir, by whom he had issue) and had issue": http://www.redbookofscotland.com/sample%20families/Campbell%20of%20...

If Mariote Stewart had a daughter who in turn was married by 1498, Mariote would have to have been a daughter of the 1st Earl of Atholl by his 1st wife Margaret Douglas.
