Marjory Ogilvy of Auchterhouse

According to the text which I link to below, David Lindsay 3rd Earl of Crawford is supposed to be the son of my great aunt Marjory Ogilvie of Auchterhouse and Alexander Lindsay the 2nd Earl - not the husband of Marjory Ogilvie as yo have it now. The text is written by an Ogilvie genealogist and a professor Richard Ogilvie. From here you can open the text and read on page 4:

PART ONE - SIBLINGS OF SIR ANDREW OGILVIE OF INCHMARTIN (1392c-1463c »71)1

The children of Alexander Ogilvy and Janet Gray:

4. MARGARET/MARJORIE married Alexander Lindsay 2nd earl of Crawford with issue: David (d 1446 Arbroath)

Sir Andrew of Inchmartin was a witness to the charter of Inverquharity to Alexander. The Lindsay-Ogilvy feud flared.10a David, son of the late Alexander Lindsay 2nd earl of Crawford, who had been at a meeting in Dundee, rode in haste to stop the fighting between his men drawn up before the gate, and the approaching Ogilvy force. Unfortunately he was speared as he rode towards the combatants by an Ogilvy who thought he was calling for an immediate attack, prompting a furious response by the Lindsays, who killed several hundred Ogilvies and their supporters. The battle and slaughter continued to the Loan of Leys some 3 miles away. The 3rd earl of Crawford was carried to Finhaven along with his wounded foe, Alexander Ogilvy. Marjory/Margaret Ogilvy countess of Crawford cared for the two wounded men, but both died; some assert she had murdered her cousin, Alexander of Inverquharity, in revenge for the loss of her son, David. Her father was Alexander Ogilvy of Auchterhouse, sheriff of Forfar, so Marjory was the sister to Sir Andrew Ogilvie of Inchmartin.
