  General Notes:

' The first marriage of James Muirhead (8th) of Lauchope (to Elizabeth Houstoun) produced three sons: John (known as John Muirhead of Brydinhill), James, the heir, and Thomas along with three daughters: one married to Alexander Gartsbore [sic] of that-ilk in the County of Dumbartoun; the second, Joanna, to John Crawfurd , 'Younger of Ruchsolloch' in the county of Lanark; and the third, as noted by Nisbet "to ----- Baillie of Pockemmet." The second marriage of James (to Margaret Somerville) is not known to have resulted in any children.'

Note: Other documents suggest Jean Muirhead's husband was John, not Alexander Gartshore, but he may have had more than one Christian name.
