Research Notes:
eventual sole heiress of her grandmother, Margaret Fraser [Ref: MacEwen
Keith-Addenda p399]
the Fraser estates, which should have descended to Elizabeth Keith and her
daughter Elizabeth Gordon, were in the end split between the Gordons and the
Keiths, owing to the ultra vires grants made by Sir William and his wife
Margaret Fraser, who were in fact merely liferenters after their resignation
in 1374 [Ref: MacEwen Keith-Addenda p399]
Scots Peerage, in discussion of the family of Sir William Keith and his wife
Margaret Fraser states that one of their daughters, Elizabeth, "succeeded her
mother in some of her large estates, including Aboyne and Cluny." BUT,
Elizabeth Keith had three legitimate brothers, and three older sisters, so it
is difficult to see why she could have succeeded her mother in any of these
estates. [Ref: MacEwen Keith p153]
Elizabeth Keith had only two husbands, Sir Adam Gordon and Thomas
Somerville. [Ref: MacEwen Keith p179]
