Catherine married John SUTHERLAND 8th Earl of Sutherland, son of John SUTHERLAND 7th Earl of Sutherland and Margaret BAILLIE, By 1512.¹ (John SUTHERLAND 8th Earl of Sutherland was born about 1440 and died by 24 July 1509 ².)

  Marriage Notes:

"Who this ' Fingole ' (a wife of John, 8th Earl of Sutherland) was has not been ascertained, but the fact that the wife of Celestine of the Isles bore a similar name suggests a descent from that family. On the other hand, in the years 1509 to 1512, during which period the rents of the earldom were administered by the Crown, a Catherine, Countess of Sutherland, is found drawing terce from the lands, a clear proof that she was the widow of Earl John, but who she was, or whether she was identical with Fingole, has not been ascertained."

from The Book of Sutherland




"The Earl (John 8th of Sutherland) married a third time, as between 1509 and 1512 a Catherine, Countess of Sutherland, is credited with her terce from the earldom."
