"William (Hay) .... married Elenor or Helen Stewart, only daughter of John, third Earl of Lennox, who survived him .... and married, secondly, in August 1548, John (Gordon), Earl of Sutherland."

from Scots Peerage (vol 3)




".... about 6 August 1548, he (John Gordon) married, secondly, Helenor Stewart, daughter of John, Earl of Lennox, widow of William Hay, sixth Earl of Erroll. They had a papal dispensation on 15 April 1549. She died shortly before 25 November 1564...."

  Marriage Notes:

"Marion .... was married .... secondly, as third wife, without issue, to John, tenth Earl of Sutherland."

from Scots Peerage (vol 8)

Note: John Gordon was the 11th Earl of Sutherland; the system whereby he is referred to as 10th Earl discounts the earlship status of Countess Elizabeth, younger sister of the 9th Earl, who was married to Adam Gordon.
