Biography

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]:

  1. Patrick, later 3rd Baron Inchbrackie, b aft 1555/bef 1560, d.1635
  2. George, later Bishop of Dunsblane and Orkney d.1647
  3. Beatrice "Christane" Graham who later married Drummond of Balloch[7]
  4. Nicholas who married to Maxtone of Cultoquhey[7]
  5. Annas who married Robertson of Fascally[7]
  6. Lilias who first married to Colville of Condie, then secondly Oliphant of Gask[7]
  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]

George is William's Grandson not his son. He is the son of Patrick Graham. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Graham,_1st_Earl_of_Montrose

By his first wife, Montrose had: William Graham, 2nd Earl of Montrose Walter Graham, of Little Cairnie.

By his third wife, Montrose had a further son, Patrick Graham of Inchbraikie (grandfather of Bishop George Graham), to which lands Patrick received a charter from his father on 20 June 1513.
