    1. Scots Peerage (vol 3) quotation points to the father of Margaret being Sir Alexander Seton of that Ilk, 'the son', who married Margaret Murray
    2. Scots Peerage (vol 8) however, points out that the account by Andrew de Wyntoun of the abduction of Margaret was "heartily supported and aided" (page 570) by William Murray of Edinburgh Castle, brother in law of Sir Alexander Seton. Footnote 4 of page 570 in Volume 8 adds: "If Murray abetted De Wyntoun, the heiress can hardly have been, as some have held, daughter of the marriage between his own sister Margaret and Sir Alexander Seton 'the son,' which is mentioned above as recorded in the old Seton family pedigree."
