Research Notes

Her birth date is based on her marriage date, assuming age 21.

Margaret is also said to be the daughter of the William of Castleton ^[2] which seems unlikely because her husband William Moncrieff died in 1579 ^[2] and William of Castleton already has a daughter called Margaret Murray who married Sir Robert Bruce in 1559 ^[4].
