| Notes |
- " the twice married Isabella Stewart of Albany in a discharge dated
10 December 1443 was styled "Dame Elizabeth Haliburton, countess of
Ross," taking the rank of her first husband, Alexander Lesley, Earl of
Ross, and the surname of her second husband, Sir Walter Haliburton of
Dirleton-"
The above is in a discussion about the identity of the wife of AlexanderMacdonald 10th Earl Ross & Lord of Isles, in the fall 2003 issue of THE
GENEALOGIST, in an article by Andrew B. W. MacEwen, beginning at
222, on Cristina de Brus, Countess of Dunbar. At page 225, the author,
as an illustration of the difficulty in sometimes determining a woman's
maiden name.
However "note of a discharge" mentioning "Dame Elizabeth Haliburton,countess of Ross, is dated 40 years after Isabel (of Albany) Stewartfirst husband's death and close to that after her second marriage. Witha birth date of Abt. 1363 that would make her about 80 at the time of thedischarge, if it does indeed refer to her. It also seems a bit unlikelythat Isabel (of Albany) Stewart was about 35 at the time of her firstmarriage. So perhaps the birth date of Abt. 1363 is mistaken andsomething more like 1380 would be more accurate, unless other documentscontradict that.
