Biography

Scottish flag
Jean (Muirhead) Hamilton of Lauchope was born in Scotland.

Jean was the daughter of Sir William Muirhead William Muirhead of Lauchope and Jean Hay.[1][2][3]

She married Gavin Hamilton.[4][5][6][7] They had issue:

  1. Thomas.[5]
  2. Archibald.[5]
  3. John, 1st of Orbiston.[5][6]
  4. Gavin, 1st of Haggs.[5]
  5. unknown daughter Hamilton
  6. Robert, Chancellor of Glasgow; .[5]

Research Notes

Her son John was born before 23 Aug 1468 so one can expect Jean married before 23 Nov 1467 and was born before 23 Nov 1455. However, to resolve conflict with her father's death, it is being set to be before 1445.
