George Graham was born circa 1524
[1] son of Patrick Graham Ist of Inchbrakie, and Margaret Stewart [2].
George was under age at his father's death but of age by January 1553 when he witnessed a charter by Andrew Murray [3].
He was served heir to his father in 1555, becoming 2nd Baron of Inchbrakie and Aberuthven from 1538-1575[4][5]
.
George married Mairjorie Rollo, daughter of Andrew Rollo the Baron of Duncrub and Marion Rollo in about 1555[4][3] and by her had
Issue [6]:
Patrick, later 3rd Baron Inchbrackie, b aft 1555/bef 1560, d.1635
George, later Bishop of Dunsblane and Orkney d.1647
Lilias who first married to Colville of Condie, then secondly Oliphant of Gask[7]
Katherine who married her kinsman, Campbell of Monzie[7]
George died in 1575 and was succeeded as Baron of Inchbrackie by his son Patrick[4].
Research notes
There is disagreement about Georges wife's given name, Burke calls her Margaret[5], but Loisa Graeme[4], The MacFarlane Geneaology and and The Peerage call her Margory. Loisa Graeme in "Or and Sable" quotes a passage from Georges will that names her "Mairjorie", whence the name used here.
Georges birth year of 1524 is estimated by subtracting 15 years from 1538, the year in which James V. gave a letter to Robert, master of Montrose awarding the lands of Strathiebowie to George on his contemplation of marriage to Margaret Stewart. This indicates that George was not yet 16, and thus a minor and ward of Robert at that time[1].
I think his birth date may have been around 1538 because he was said to be of age by 1555, which could have been 16 years old (if unmarried) in medieval Scotland Age of majority (England) at Wikipedia (see History) [3]
