Janet Cranstoun (dau of Sir William Cranstoun of that ilk) m2. Jean Edmonston (dau of Edmonston of Ednam) TSP (Huntly) reports that the 1st Earls's second wife was Elizabeth Crichton but, noting that Elizabeth survived him, reports also that the Earl is thought to have married a daughter of Cumming of Altyre as his third or fourth wife. A site visitor (RS, 20.01.04), after looking into the International Genealogy Index, suggests that he married the Cumming daughter about 1434 which would make her his second wife and so, assuming that she died within a few years, avoid the discrepancy. We follow that suggestion but note that TCP (Huntly) does not mention this marriage. m2. (c1434) ?? Cumming ('Fair Maid of Moray') (dau of Sir Thomas Cumming of Altyr) j.
