    Notes:

    The Barony of Muirton has been associated with several families. The first known Crown Charter was granted in 1532 to the Abbot of Kinloss, Robert Reid. However, John Robertson is noted as the first Baron of Muirton. His eldest son Gilbert was married to Janet Reid, the sister of the Abbot, Robert Reid. This family connection is probably what led to the Abbot enfiefing Robertson as his vassal.

    John Robertson, 1st of Muirton, was a younger son of Alexander the fifth Baron of Strowan and married to Margaret Crichton, granddaughter of James II. He was succeeded in the barony by his aforementioned son Gilbert Robertson of Muirton. Gilbert's eldest son, David Robertson, was the third Baron of Muirton, and he was succeeded by his eldest son William Robertson of Muirton.

    William married Isabel PETRIE in 1569 in Scotland. Isabel (daughter of Sir Andrew PETRIE and Elspeth BROWN) was born in 1530 in Muirton, Elgin, Morayshire, Scotland; died on 21 Feb 1594 in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
