Elizabeth Maxwell

ELIZABETH MAXWELL

Elizabeth Maxwell is the daughter of Robert Maxwell of Calderwood and his wife Isabel Elphinestone. Maxwell Memoirs I: p. 469

Proposed Marriage

According to Lives of the Lindsays, Elizabeth Maxwell married Robert Lindsay of Dunrod. The date of the marriage contract is given there as 31 August 1563. Maxwell Memoirs I: p. 469 It would appear, however, that this date is wrong, or that the proposed marriage never actually took place at all, for Robert Lindsay of Dunrod was already the husband of Elizabeth Schaw on 9 February 1562. Glasgow Protocols, III: 683 Moreover, this lady was still alive on 15 October 1573. Glasgow Protocols VII: 1980
