Biography
Isabel Stewart, born about 1493, the daughter of John Stewart of Innermeath and Lorn and his wife, Isabel MacDougall, [1][2][3]
had two notable marriages. Her first husband was William Oliphant, Knight of Aberdalgy. [1][2][3] Subsequently, she married David Murray, Knight of Gask and laird of Tullibardine. [1][2][3] From her union with David Murray, it appears she had a child, who later became known as Sir David Murray VII of Tullibardine. [4] She died after 1445, and her final resting place is in the Collegiate Church at Tullibardine, Perthshire, Scotland. [2]
Research Notes
“There were at least two children from this marriage [William Oliphant]: John Oliphant of Aberdalgy, Isobel Oliphant.” Removed from text of biography because it is unsourced. Perkins-11750 19:22, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
“There was at least one child from this marriage [David Murray]: David Murray of Tullibardine.” Removed from text of biography because it is unsourced. Perkins-11750 19:22, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
Since there are no shown or locatable reliable sources to attest the maternal relationships of Isabel Stewart to Katherine Murray, Christian Murray, and Elena Murray, they were removed. Perkins-11750 20:35, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
Birth Year Estimate: Her parents were married about 1386, and she was likely their 7th child --1386 + 7 = 1393. Perkins-11750 15:58, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
Death Year Estimate: She was buried in the Tullibardine Collegiate Church, which was founded in 1446, [5] therefore, she died in that year or later. Perkins-11750 15:58, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Following your insightful comments, I thoroughly reviewed ‘Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial and Medieval Families’ by Douglas Richardson, along with several other authoritative sources. Based on this research, I have updated the profile to align with the most reliable and current information available. I appreciate your valuable contribution to this improvement.
There seems to be a problem with the marriages and children of this profile. According to the bio she married William Oliphant first, but on his bio he didn't die until after the 3 Dec 1425 (though I'm not sure of the source for that date) but the birth dates for the Murray children are before that date?
Either there are actually two different Isabel Stewarts? Or the Murray children weren't hers but from a different mother? There is an added complication because I think most of the children are the children of David Murray, 7th of Tullibardine, not the 6th.
I don't have access to Douglas Richardson's Royal Ancestry volumes but maybe those have some sources to sort all this out?
Stewart-13230 and Stewart-1203 appear to represent the same person because: Same spouse, birth date within reason, another profile in this group of ancestors we share that need to be reduced in number

(edit: I see that David Murray is described as a laird here in her bio, but his own page does not mention it, in either the bio or in his titles.)
