Daughter married Sir Alexander DE IRWYNE 3rd of Drum, son of Sir Thomas DE IRWYNE 2nd of Drum and Unknown.¹ (Sir Alexander DE IRWYNE 3rd of Drum was born about 1356 and died on 24 July 1411 in Battle of Harlaw, Aberdeenshire, Scotland ^{1 2}.)

  Marriage Notes:

"The following fragment of a genealogy, not now extant, I believe to contain the only authentic notice of the wife of this Irvine of Drum, and of the wife of his son and successor; and is certainly correct with regard to his grandson. It appears to be a cramped translation from a Latin original, and commences:

'Notes from an old paper entitled Genealogia Irvinorum vel Ervinorum a Drum That Laird Drum's mother who fought at Harlaw with the Earl of Mar was called Monteford, a famous knight's daughter who in the Bruce time for his good service got the lands of Lonmay in Buchan, and this Laird Drum who fought at Harlaw married his only one daughter. Alexander Irvine, his son, married the Marischall's daughter.' " (page 26)

"From the fragment of the ancient genealogy which is inserted in the account of Thomas de Irwin, it appears that the only daughter of 'Monteford, a famous knight,' holding lands in Buchan, was the wife of this Sir Alexander Irvine. He left at least two sons - Alexander, his successor, and Robert." (page 37)
