  General Notes:

"The identity of Annabella's mother is unclear, but she was probably Mary, daughter of William Montefichet."

from History Scotland 1


Mary married Sir John DRUMMOND of Stobhall, son of Sir Malcolm DRUMMOND and Unknown, about 1345.1 (Sir John DRUMMOND of Stobhall was born about 1308 and died probably before 1361 2.)


  Marriage Notes:

"He (John Drummond) is usually said to have died in 1373, but no evidence has been found that he survived till then. He is said to have married Mary Montefichet, the eldest daughter of Sir William Montefichet of Auchterarder and Cargill, and this seems probable, though there is no direct evidence. Also, as he apparently died before 1361, it is not improbable that Sir William Fraser is right in identifying him as the John Drummond of Concraig who married, about 1359, Margaret, Countess of Menteith, and who died before September 1361. There is no certain evidence, and, as already indicated, they may be different men, uncle and nephew."

from Scots Peerage (vol 7)




"Mary resigned her rights as Montefichet's heir to Sir John Drummond in 1345, suggesting a marriage took place between them around this time."
