  Marriage Notes:

"Concerning the family life of Willielmo de Muirhead, Alexander Nisbet, albeit in error, tells us that:

'This knight of Muirhead, of the houƒe of Lachop, married dame Jean Hay, daughter of Sir William Hay of Lochernard, anceƒtor of the lords of Yeƒter, and of the earls and marquƒses of Tweddale: by whom he had Willielmus de Muirhead, Dominus de Lachop, in 1445.' "

Note:

The date of 1445 is probably the 'error' referred to by the author

Scots Peerage, volume 8, includes Christian Wardlaw as a possible first wife of Thomas Hay, but there is clearly considerable doubt there, and as first wife, her dates and thodse of her daughter would not allow the marriage with Muirhead noted above.
However, the Nisbet quote above names her as a wife of William, not Thomas, Hay.
As the first wife wife of second William the dates fit Christian being a sister of the Bishop of Glasgow, Walter Wardlaw who was at the University of Paris by 1349.
This does place two daughters named "Jean" in the same extended family, but there are many variations of this name that might have differentiated them.

Genealogie of the Family of Haye of Tweeddale, compiled in 1835 by Richard Augustin Hay, states firmly that it was Thomas who was her father, but this author states that the succession of Hay of Locherworth was Gilbert, Thomas, Thomas and then two Williams, and that Christian Wardlaw was the mother of the second Thomas, but his scenario would place Christian in a dating incompatible with other factors.

As with other members of this and associated families, uncertainty dominates.
