Research Notes

This marriage with Andrew Macdougal (also known as MacDowall) is mentioned in the book entitled ‘A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland Volume 3., which is easily read online.

Andrew outlived Euphemia. I am not sure yet, if she is the mother of Thomas. I will edit if necessary.
