Death

According to Sir Francis James Grant, Margaret Campbell, here treated, died on 5 May 1597. The Scots Peerage V: 497 It would seem that he was in error, however. For example, Thomas, Lord Boyd, married for a second time to Jane Stockdale. The Scots Peerage V: p. 165 The date of his second marriage is not known but it would appear to have taken place before 15 August 1665. The Visitation of Yorkshire 1665-1666: p. 58 It seems reasonable to suggest, therefore, particularly in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, that Margaret Campbell. here treated, probably died before 15 August 1665.
