"Marriage
It is stated in several places, [e.g. Ogston Supplement p104, Buchan p36] that Sir Gilbert Keith married an unnamed Ogstoun, from whom he inherited the lands of Ludquharn. I have found no primary sources for the marriage, and the inheritance of the lands of Ludquharn are discussed in Appendix A.2 below. "

Gilbert next married Janet GRAHAM, daughter of Patrick GRAHAM Lord Graham and Christian ERSKINE, in 1455.¹ (Janet GRAHAM was born about 1437.)

I have found no primary sources for the marriage, and the inheritance of the lands of Ludquharn are discussed in Appendix A.2 below. However, he does seem to have been relatively old when he married Janet Graham, so it is certainly feasible.

Gilbert next married Margaret HAY, daughter of William HAY Earl of Erroll, Constable of Scotland and Beatrice DOUGLAS, after 1491.^{1 4} (Margaret HAY was born about 1450.)

  Marriage Notes:

"Sir Gilbert supposedly married Margaret Hay, daughter of William Hay, 1st Earl of Erroll (see e.g. TSP V3 p565). If he did, then it must have been after 1491, since Janet Graham was still alive (and married to Sir Gilbert) then [37]. "
