contracted in marriage, on 25 Jun 1518, to John Murray of Touchadam, with 650
merks of tocher. But this did not take effect, and she was married (contract
dated 20 Nov 1525) to Alexander, second Lord Elphinstone, with 1300 merks of
tocher. [Ref: SP V p612]

Coupar. by Sir William Fraser. Vol, I - Memoirs. (Edinburgh 1897)
pp. 36-37. Alexander, First Lord Elphinstone, 1508-1513. Projected marriage
with Margaret Erskine, 1502.
An alliance by marriage was projected between Alexander Elphinstone and
Margaret Erskine, daughter of Robert, Master of Erskine, son and heir apparent
of Alexander, second Lord Erskine. There is no marriage contract among the
Elphinstone muniments. But the terms of the arrangements for the marriage are
given in letters of reversion by Alexander, Lord Erskine, to John Elphinstone
of Airth. . . . . . . . The reversion, which is dated at Edinburgh, 13th July
1502, has the seal of Lord Erskine appended to it, and is witnessed by Andrew
Elphinstone of the Selmys, John of Portarfeild of Chapeltoun, and others.
(footnote: Original version in the Elphinstone charter-chest.)
p. 77. Alexander, Second Lord Elphinstone, 1513-1547. Contract of Marriage
Catherine Erskine, 1525.
Although Lord Elphinstone was still young and under age, he entered into a
contract of marriage with Catherine Erskine, daughter of John, fourth Lord
Erskine. (footnote: Several peerage writers have stated that Catherine Erskine
was daughter of Robert, third Lord Erskine ; but this is a mistake, as she is
explicitly stated to be the daughter of John, Lord Erskine, in her marriage
contract.) the contract is dated 20th November 1525, at which time Lord
Elphinstone was little more than fourteen years of age. The matrimonial
connection between the Erskine and Elphinstone families, which had been
anxiously contemplated in the previous generation, as shown in the memoir of
the first Lord Elphinstone, was deferred, according to the wishes of King
James the Fourth and his queen, Margaret Tudor. The connection, however,
although postponed, was not finally renounced by either of the families. It
was now, after a lapse of twenty-three years, brought about in the persons of
the principal parties to this contract. The indenture was made at Alloa
between John, Lord Erskine, and Catherine Erskine, his daughter, on the one
part, and Alexander, Lord Elphinstone, with advice, consent, and authority of
his curators, Robert Calendar and Alexander // end of page. [Ref: Tim
