      John of Ogilvie of Lentrethin, knight, was a member of the council who signed the indenture between the King and Council and Robert, Lord Erskine, made at Stirling on 10 August, 1440, giving the Castle of Kildromie, and half the Earldom of Mar to Robert Lord Erskine.[1]

      Wikitree:
      It is suggested here that Margaret was born about 1410 daughter to Alexander Seaton of Gordon. (note that a generation earlier John Ogilvy of Inverquharity married Marion Seaton a daughter of Willaim Seaton of Gordon.)
      Margaret is known only as Margaret, Lady Ogilvy, Countess of Moray. It thus appears that she married firstly to James Dunbar, earl of Moray who died about 10 Aug 1430. He was released as a hostage for King James I in 1427 and probably at the time he succeeded to the earldom and married on his return. It is said by MacFarlane but without confirmation that the earl married Katherine or Janet a daughter of Alexander Seaton of Gordon. It thus appears probable that Margaret was that widowed Countess.
      By James Dunbar margaret had two daughters:
      1. Elizabeth, (or Mary or Agnes0 who married before 26 April 1442, to Archibald Douglas, who was created Earl of Moray.
      2. Janet, married, between 1442 and 1446, to James,second Lord Crichton.

      After the death of her first husband, Margaret, Countess of Moray married Sir John Ogilvy of Lintrathen about 1431.
