from Scots Peerage (vol 4)
Note:
Scots Peerage (vol 4) names the father of this Marion Cunningham on page 29 as the eighth Earl, and elsewhere on page 247 as the seventh Earl of Glencairn, not the eighth.
This numbering results from them omitting, as second Earl, Robert Cunningham, son of Alexander first Earl of Glencairn, designating him only 'Lord of Kilmaurs':
"On the accession of King James IV. his first object was to void the later grants made by his father, and accordingly on 17 October 1488 it was enacted inter alia that all creations of new dignities granted since 2 February preceding (1487-88) by the deceased King were annulled. In virtue of this statute, Robert, the son of Alexander, Earl of Glencairn, was deprived of the dignity of an earldom conferred on his father. He sat in Parliament as Lord Kilmaurs 1489, but died before 1492." (page 235) 1
Marion next married Alexander FRASER Master of Saltoun, son of Alexander FRASER 10th of Philorth, 10th Lord Saltoun of Abernethy and Elizabeth SETON heiress of Meldrum, on 29 October 1660.1 2 (Alexander FRASER Master of Saltoun was born about 1630 2 and died 1682(dvp) 2.)
