| Sir Colin married several times, but authorities vary so much that it is not easy definitely to state how often, in what order, or when the respective wives died, and by which of them he had issue. According to Nisbet, Sir Colin Campbell's first wife was Mary, one of the daughters of Duncan, Earl of Lennox, and he gives as his authority a contract of marriage said to be still extant in the archives of the Breadalbane family. There appears to be a mistake in the lady's name and designation, as Duncan, the last Earl of Lennox, executed 1425, had three daughters, his co-heirs, who were all married in 1392, several years before the birth of Sir Colin Campbell, and no daughter of Duncan, Earl of Lennox, called Mary appears on record. The Black Book of Taymouth states (p. 10) that Sir Colin married as his first wife 'Mariott Stewart, dochtir to Walter Stewart off Albanie (sone to Isobell, Duches off Albanie and Countess of Lennox).' Whether Sir Colin ever was married to this lady, whoever she was, is not without doubt.17 | ||
