"The Earl married .... secondly, Marion Cunningham, fourth daughter of William, eighth Earl of Glencairn, s. p." (page 29)
"Marion, married, first, as his second wife, to James, first Earl of Findlater, who died in 1652, and secondly, 29 October 1660, as the second of his three wives, to Alexander, Master of Saltoun. She died but a short time after her marriage, as on 27 June 1663 the Master married for the third time." (page 247)
from Scots Peerage (vol 4)
Note:
Scots Peerage (vol 4) names the father of this Marion Cunningham on page 29 as the eighth Earl, and elsewhere on page 247 as the seventh Earl of Glencairn, not the eighth.
This numbering results from them omitting, as second Earl, Robert Cunningham, son of Alexander first Earl of Glencairn, designating him only 'Lord of Kilmaurs':
"On the accession of King James IV. his first object was to void the later grants made by his father, and accordingly on 17 October 1488 it was enacted inter alia that all creations of new dignities granted since 2 February preceding (1487-88) by the deceased King were annulled. In virtue of this statute, Robert, the son of Alexander, Earl of Glencairn, was deprived of the dignity of an earldom conferred on his father. He sat in Parliament as Lord Kilmaurs 1489, but died before 1492." (page 235) 1
