Biography
Margaret Elizabeth Stewart b. 1450 (or 1464 ?) Kilwinning, Ayrshire, Scotland, was a daughter of John Stewart (b. 1430, d. 1495, Darnley/Renfrewshire, Scotland and Margaret Montgomerie, b. 1436, Ardrossan, Ayrshire, Scotland [1]
Lady Elizabeth Stewart, b. c. 1464, married Archibald Campbell, 2nd Earl of Argyll [2]
Her fathers marriage has been a source of genealogical confusion. He is recorded as having contracted to marry Margaret, the daughter of Alexander Montgomerie, 1st Lord Montgomerie, and Margaret Boyd, by indenture on 15 May 1438 as both parties were under age. She, however, appears to have died young. Ultimately, he married another Margaret Montgomerie in 1460, who was not the same individual, but her fraternal niece, daughter of Alexander, Master of Montgomerie (son of the 1st Lord), by his wife Elizabeth Hepburn. [2]
John and Margaret Montgomerie had eight recorded children:
- Lady Marion Stuart.
- Robert Stuart, 4th Seigneur d'Aubigny, b. c. 1470, d. 1544.
- Sir John Stewart, Seigneur d'Oison, b. bef. 1446, d. c. 1512.
- Elizabeth Stuart, b. bef. 1476.
- Matthew Stewart, 2nd Earl of Lennox, b. bef. 5 May 1488, d. 9 Sep 1513, Flodden.
- Sir William Stewart, Seigneur d'Oison, b. bef. 1495, d. bef. 1504.
- Alexander Stewart, b. bef. 1495, d. bef. 1509.
- Lady Elizabeth Stewart, b. bef. 1495.
She married John Maxwell.[3] They had issue:
- John, his heir
- Robert, became Bishop of Orkney
- George of Cowglen
- William of Carnwaderick
This particular Elizabeth must, by trust of basic math, be the first one in the list; born before 1476.

Hi,
These are duplicates and can be merged now (she previously was added to the wrong parents as daughter) see post
Perhaps you have a source for the Elizabeth Stewart born in Buchan Scotland ? For now it looks like these parents did not have a daughter named Elizabeth so perhaps (if there's no source for her being a daughter of these parents) we should correct this and disconnect her from them and merge this profile with the Elizabeth Stewart marrying Archibald Campbell ?
