She died in 1747, when she is described as 'relict of Thomas Duff, some time merchant in Banff.' Her only son Robert was born in 1716, and died in the year 1748, having previously made three wills, all preserved in the Commissariot Books of Aberdeen, from which a good deal of information relating to this family has been obtained. He names his mother, Margaret Stuart (the name is spelt in either way) sole executrix, but with burden of certain legacies to his uncles and aunts and cousins on both sides of the family, and also alludes to a bond for £300 granted to him by William, Lord Braco."
