  Marriage Notes:

There is doubt about whether William Murray and Mary Keith were husband and wife. The Scots Peerage, for example, does not list it as a marriage.

The website page https://www.thepeerage.com/p2408.htm#i24074 lists Mary Keith as daughter of William Keith and Margaret Erskine, citing as sources:

"[S8] BP1999 volume 1, page 133. See link for full details for this source. Hereinafter cited as. [S8], that is [S8] Mosley, Charles, editor. Burke's Peerage and Baronetage, 106th edition, 2 volumes. Crans, Switzerland: Burke's Peerage (Genealogical Books) Ltd, 1999.

This website also states that:

"She married Sir William Murray of Tullibardine, son of Sir William Murray of Tullibardine and Margaret Gray."

citing only the first source [S8]:

"[S8] BP1999 volume 1, page 133. See link for full details for this source. Hereinafter cited as. [S8], that is Mosley, Charles, editor. Burke's Peerage, Baronetage & Knightage, 107th edition, 3 volumes. Wilmington, Delaware, U.S.A.: Burke's Peerage (Genealogical Books) Ltd, 2003."

It may be that Mary Keith was the wife of William Murray, but according to another genealogical website, Stirnet:

another contender is Catherine Gray, daughter of Andrew, 1st Lord Gray, though neither of these families' records shows such a marriage.

Therefore the marriage between William Murray and Mary Keith should be treated with caution as being somewhat unsourced. ^{1 2 3}
