discharge by the said David Ogilvy to Lord Gray dated 16 January 1503-4. He married, about February 1492-93, Janet Gordon, second daughter of George, second Earl of Huntly, Chancellor of Scotland. She was the relict of Alexander,
Master of Crawford, whom she is accused of having smothered in the Castle of Inverqueich. From John, Master of Crawford, her first husband's brother, she, as
then wife of Patrick, Lord Gray, had a renunciation of a lease and feu of the Castle of Inverqueitht, dated 3 February 1492-93. This marriage appears to have been dissolved between March 1501 and March 1508, as at the latter date she appears as the wife of Patrick Butter of Gormock. She was married, fourthly, before November 1535, to James Halkerston of Southwood."
