from POMS




"He (Andrew Gray) married, first, Janet, daughter of Sir Roger de Mortimer and his wife Margaret, daughter of Alexander of Menteith, as appears from a charter of King Robert II., dated at Dundee 20 June 1377, proceeding on a resignation by Sir Roger of the lands of Foulis, in the county of Perth, in favour of the spouses and their heirs"

from Scots Peerage (vol 4)




"Another Roger Mortimer was lord there (at Fowlis Easter) in 1296 and, in 1327, another William Mortimer was lord. Their descendants remained at Fowlis Easter until 1377, when Janet, daughter of the last Roger Mortimer of Fowlis Easter, married Sir Andrew Grey. Even after that, Mortimer descendants remained in the area, one in particular being Bernard Mortimer (fl. 1404), who is reputed to have been the ancestor of the Mortimers of Craigievar. They latter family bore for their arms argent, a lion rampant sable guttée d'argent, which probably reflect the arms their ancestors at Fowlis Easter had borne since the thirteenth century."
