Not the child of Margaret Ayr

HISTORY OF GLENBERVIE, by G.B. Kinnear, Drumlithie, Montrose, 1895, p. 23

The Kincardineshire branch of the male line of the Melvilles survived no later than 1448, when Alexander Melville’s only daughter and heiress, Elizabeth, was married to Sir Alexander Auchinleck of Balmanno, a cadet of the family of Auchinleck in Ayrshire. Lady Auchinleck’s only child was married in 1492 to Sir William Douglas of Braidwood, second son of Archibald, Earl of Angus, well known as “Bell the Cat,” and by her he had the barony of Glanbervie.
