General Notes:
Scottish Episcopal Clergy state that she is the daughter of William Elphinstone of Ross, and Fasti Ecclesiae have her as the daughter of Sir James. Her son Patrick, however, was alive and functioning in the late 1750s, suggesting that she had been a young wife of Alexander Lunan rather than his contemporary.
