Marriage Notes:
"Before May 1334 she (Mary Stewart) had married Sir John Graham, and it was probably then or at an earlier period that she received from Earl Murdach a grant of the lands of Aberfoyle, Buchlyvie, Boquhapple, and others, forming a considerable portion of the earldom. After that date Sir John is found bearing the title of Earl of Menteith.......The only known child of Sir John Graham and the Countess was ... MARGARET, who succeeded" (pages 137 and 138)
"John. According to Sir William Fraser, the Sir John de Graham who married Mary, Countess of Menteith, and was executed by Edward in. after the battle of Durham, 1346, was probably a younger son." (page 208)
