"Mariota, married (contract dated 21 September 1537) to Patrick, fifth Lord Gray."

Note:

'fifth' is an error here. The Index of Volume 9 Addenda et Corrigenda references both of these occurrences as 'wife of Patrick 4th Lord Gray'.




"He (Patrick, 4th Lord Gray) married (contract dated 21 September 1537) Marion, daughter of James, fourth Lord Ogilvy of Airlie."

from Scots Peerage (vol 4) 2 4
