    Notes:

    George Marques of Huntly, (called with the lukkon hand) who certainly might best have known the truth of anie, told Mr. John Rose, father to the laird of Pettindreich, that he had her mothers contract of marriage in his charter kist. Her mother was Cuming, a daughter of the familie of Altyre, called, for her singular beauty, the Fair Maiden of Murray ; and it was nothing strange that ane aged nobleman should marie such a gentlewoman for his fancie.

    Note. The book "Rose of Kilravock" by Hew Rose (pub 1684) says that this Margaret was the sister of George, Lord Huntley. But the "Peerage of Scotland" (pub 1767) says George had 3 sisters, Jane, Elizabeth, Christian. No Margaret.
    I cannot find where the Name Sir John Gordon came from, as her father. Also, Margaret was the mother of 6 of her husband's 7 children. She was his 2nd of 4 wives .


    Margaret married Hugh ROSE, 8th of Kilravock, 8th of Clan Rose about 1485 in Scotland. Hugh (son of Hugh Hutcheon ROSE, 7th of Kilravock, 7th of Clan Rose and Mora MACKINTOSH) was born in 1442 in Nairn, Nairnshire, Scotland; died on 17 Mar 1517 in Nairn, Nairnshire, Scotland; was buried in 1517 in Nairn, Nairnshire, Scotland.
