States, in part,
Sir Alexander Napier, 2nd of Merchiston (d before 15.02.1475-9, Lord Provost
of Edinburgh)
m. Elizabeth Lauder (dau of William Lauder of Hatton)
A. John Napier, 3rd of Merchiston (d before 03.11.1487)
m. Elizabeth Menteith (d c1508, dau of Murdoch Menteith of Rusky)
i. Archibald Napier, 4th of Merchiston, of Edinbellie (d 1521)
m1. Catherine Douglas (dau of Sir William Douglas of Whittinghame)
a. Sir Alexander Napier of Edinbellie (dvp Flodden 09.09.1513)
m. Janet Chisholm (dau of Edmund Chisholm of Cromlix)
(1) Archibald Napier, 5th of Merchiston (b c1509, d
Pinkie 09.1547)

Reviewing this same Elizabeth Lauder's ascendence we find
http://www.stirnet.com/HTML/genie/briti ... tm#cunning
Alexander Lauder, 2nd of Haltoun or Hatton (d ? Verneuil 17.08.1424)
m1. Helen Douglas (dau of Archibald Douglas, 4th Earl of Douglas)
1. William Lauder of Haltoun / Hatton (d c1442)
A. Alexander Lauder of Haltoun / Hatton (d before 1451)
i. William Lauder of Haltoun / Hatton (d before 1507)
d. Elizabeth Lauder ..
m. Sir Alexander Napier, 2nd of Merchiston (d before
15.02.1475-9, Lord Provost of Edinburgh)

And finally
http://www.stirnet.com/HTML/genie/briti ... 1.htm#hatt
Archibald Douglas, 4th Earl of Douglas, Duke of Tourraine (b c1372, d
Verneuil 17.08.1424)
m. Margaret Stewart (dau of John Stewart, King Robert III of Scots)


This sequence is not possible.
Assuming that each father must be at least 17 and each mother at least 13 and
assuming that
Archibald Douglas, 4th Earl Douglas was b c 1372
that implies
Helen Douglas was b aft 1388
William Lauder her son was b aft 1401
Alexander Lauder his son was b aft 1418
William Lauder his son was b aft 1435
Elizabeth Lauder his daughter was b aft 1452

Now working backwards
Alexander Napier was b abt 1509
Alexander Napier his father was b bef 1493
Archibald Napier his father was b bef 1476
John Napier his father was b bef 1459
Elizabeth Lauder his mother was b bef 1446

So Elizabeth Lauder could not possibly fit in both the ascent and descent as
proposed.
