Notes - Sources conflict over Katharine's first name. Duncan Stewart (1739) records her name as Katharine Murray of Buchanty, while Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions transcribes the gravestone as saying Barbara Murray of Buchanty. The fact that they had a daughter named Barbara lends support to Mitchell's version. However Duncan Stewart is supported by the fact that their infeftment document for the lands of Port of Lochearn (St. Fillans) on 14 November 1620 gives her name as Katharine. The gravestone is not original and is a compliation stone with ten generations of names inscribed on it. The stone is now unreadable. It's possible that the engraver made an error with the stone or that Mitchell's transcription is in error. The earlier records are preferred. MacGregor follows Duncan Stewart (1730). We follow MacGregor.
Duncan Stewart (1739) refers to Katharine as the daughter of Robert Murray of Buchanty of the family of Abercairny, and notes "Sir William Murray of Abercairny consenting." This might imply that there was some issue around the consent of the Murray family for Katharine to marry James.
