Andrew married Margaret HAMILTON, daughter of James HAMILTON 2nd Lord Hamilton, Earl of Arran and Beatrix DRUMMOND, before 22 August 1515.1 (Margaret HAMILTON was born about 1502.)
Marriage Notes:
"Margaret, married, before 22 August 1515, to Andrew Stewart, Lord Avondale, is usually claimed as a daughter of the first Earl of Arran by his alleged first wife, Beatrix Drummond, daughter of John, first Lord Drummond. If so, she was certainly illegitimate, as appears from a Crown charter on 11 May 1496, while Elizabeth Home was still Lord Hamilton's wife, granting the baronies of Hamilton, and specially Machanshire, Curmannock, and Drumsargard, to Beatrix Drummond and the male children born between her and Lord Hamilton, a distinction being made between them and his lawful issue."
