The profile for Mary Lindsey, Lindsey-1148 needs to be updated.  I think her age is correct, or close to it based on the age of her children. But her father is too old.  Is it possible that John Lindsay, 3rd Lord of the Byres, is her father instead of her brother? The dates would be closer to be correct. His profile is Lindsay-293, but he doesn't have a daughter named Mary.

It seems like you've used a different profile relative to the information in the question?

I believe this is the one she making reference too

 

Obviously John Lindsay 1402-1482 cannot be the father of Mary Lindsey Cochran (1530-Unknown)

Hi Linda, 

John Lindsay, 3rd Lord Lindsay of the Byres, can't be her father either as he died about 1497 according to The Scot's Peerage Volume 5, page 395.

In fact I can't find her listed anywhere in that volume as being related to the Lindsay of the Byres family.  Do you have sources to indicate that she belongs in that family?
