   Note: 1. ANDREW Fraser . Fraser indicates that the descent of the sheriffship of Stirling, the inheritance of lands in Ugtrethrestrother, and the assedation of lands in Torry, all indicate that Alexander was the son of Andrew Fraser[521]. He further suggests that the Andrew Fraser in question was the son of Richard Fraser, son of John Fraser (see above), from whom he must have inherited the estates of Touch-fraser. However, there does not appear to be any surviving primary source which confirms that this hypothesis is correct. m ---. The name of Andrew’s wife is not known.

Fraser records that Simon Fraser married "Margaret co-heiress of an Earl of Caithness", suggesting that her father must have been Earl Magnus[538]. From his text, it is difficult to ascertain the source on which this information is based. From a chronological point of view, assuming that her parentage is correctly stated, it seems more likely that she was the daughter of Earl John. d) JAMES FRASER (-killed in battle Halidon 19 Jul 1333).
