Research Notes:
called daughter to the laird of Linhouse [Ref: John Ravilious SGM 1/27/2001-220328]

identification of her father was the 'laird of Lenhouse' by Robert Cunyngham was an error, for the laird of Linhouse at the time of her birth was surnamed Tennant. A branch of the Muirheads acquired Linhouse ca1650 or later. She was probably a niece of John Muirhead of West Inch, and a cousin of John Muirhead of West Inch who acquired Linhouse in 1631.
