  Marriage Notes:

" Elizabeth (Maitland), married to Annand of Auchterellon. She seems to have been the elder by the following charter: - "On the 18th June, 1467, King James III. grants to George Lord Gordon the lands of Natyrdul and Gight, on the resignation of Elizabeth and Janet Maitlands, daughters and heiresses of the deceased Sir Patrick Maitland, knight."

from The Thanage of Fermartyn

Note:

This order of the sisters has been followed here, but the matter is not entirely clear, in so far as the order of names in recorded documents occurs, in more than one instance, as Janet and Elizabeth. Moreover, in his book about the Bairds, one of whom married Janet, the author William Baird refers to her as the elder of the two sisters. ^{1 3}
