When you run relationship finder this is the result: Margaret is the niece of Walter Margaret Lindsay (1436-1482) and Walter (Stewart) Stewart First Lord Innermeath (1402-bef.1488) are both descendants of Johanna Margaret Stewart (1375-1439).
1. Margaret is the daughter of Agnes Stewart (abt.1416-1477) [unknown confidence] 2. Agnes is the daughter of Johanna Margaret Stewart (1375-1439) [unknown confidence] This makes Johanna the grandmother of Margaret.
1. Walter is the son of Johanna Margaret Stewart (1375-1439) [confident] This makes Johanna the mother of Walter.
May be a partial reason for some of the disorders I have seen in our family, me in particular as well. I'm his 17th Great Grandson.
Cousin Allan {Stuart-531} might have some further insights on this as well from his studies, he is a 15th Great Grandson of Walter too and is a genius genealogist.
Makes it kind of confusing in your case, because you are the 15th Great Grandson of Margaret, but it also shows you as the 16th Great Grandnephew of Walter. This is resolved by the fact that you are the great grandson of Henry Wardlaw {Wardlaw-532}, another husband of Margaret.
Case in point of how interesting our trees can be but also the amount of historical backstory and the norms of nobility and royalty as well as society in general. On a side note; trade opened migratory roots but the average person only travelled 20 miles, which was a day's journey away from where they were born. This also has contributed to the vast amount of ethnic makeup in our DNA, as people flowed more freely into other countries and regions in the past. End of ramble... Hope this helps.
