Research Notes

Christiana Keith has been detached as a daughter of John Keith-1290. There is no credible evidence that John Keith had a daughter named Christiana, based on the following sources. What is known is that John Keith had one daughter, N. N. (Keith) Maitland, sister and co-heir of William Maitland:

Instead, Christiana (Christian), wife of Patrick Ogilvy, may have been the daughter of Alexander Keith of Grandown, granddaughter of William de Keith, and great granddaughter of Edward de Keith of Sinton.^[1]. Further research is needed regarding the Keith of Sinton pedigree.
