Research Notes

• MacGregor makes several errors listing the daughters married to Cunningham and Bonar^[3] as follows:

1. 1. The daughter who married Cunningham of Drumquhassell is said to be named 'Margaret' and that she married 'Alexander' but in his treatment of Cunningham of Drumquhassel, the only marriage to a Stewart is 'Andrew' who married 'Isobel'. ^[6] This name 'Isobel' seems to conflict wtih the daughter married to Bonar (see next) Although certainly not a reliable souce, Clan MacFarlane while not naming the daughter, does link her to Andrew rather than Alexander Cunningham'
   2. The daughter who married Ninan Bonar is named 'Isabell' but the source is the Protocol Book of the Burgh of Stirling where she is unnamed.^[4] The Protocol Book also indicates that Ninian is 'of Garthpot' where MacGregor has 'of Keltie.' That she is unnamed helps to resolve the conflict with the name of the daughter who married Cunningham of Drumquhassell.
