Ancestry of Elizabeth Mure, wife of Robert II, references de

I can't find any high quality references for the ancestors
of Elizabeth Mure, wife of Robert I, except her father.

Not even in the s.g.m. archives, at least by the searches I tried.

This line is very well known, yet no references.

Where to look?

Hello Doug,

Actually, the Mure line (or at least the ancestry of Elizabeth
Mure) is something of a quagmire. Traditional lines have connected her
to the Mures of Rowallan, but this is apparently not certain.

Andrew B. W. MacEwen has found that the dispensation for one Adam
Mure and his wife Jean/Janet Cunningham (text in Andrew Stuart's
history of the Stuarts) is the evidence for the marriage of her
parents, but beyond that certainty has not been achieved.

James Paterson's "History of the County of Ayr (with a
Genealogical Account of the Families of Ayrshire)" [2 vols, 18747-1852]
is the best starting point, with use of George Robertson's "A
Genealogical Account of the Principal Families of Ayrshire" likely of
use. As I recall you'll find accounts for Mure of Rowallan and Mure of
Polkelly: if you can find the right reconstruction of Elizabeth Mure's
ancestry, it will require some original sources to validate/correct
what Paterson and Robertson have to say.

Cheers,

John
