  Notes for Elizabeth Mure (Muir):
"The Mures of Caldwell are immediately descended from Sir Reginald More, or Mure, of Abercorn and Cowdams, who appears to have been chamberlain of Scotland as early as 1329, the first year of the reign of David II."

From the point quoted above, no specific lineage is provided (much general history of the family is given). The following is interesting: "Crawford, the Scottish genealogist, supposes Sir Reginald, the chamberlain, to have been a brother of Sir Adam More, of Rowallan, whose dau. Elizabeth, was Queen Consort of Robert II., the first of the Stuart kings; but of this there is no evidence, and it appears as likely that he sprang directly from the original stock of Polkelly, and may be the same Reginald, who, together witha Gilchrist More, signs the Ragman Roll in 1296, and whom Nisbet takes to be the old Polkelly Mores, 'the root of the Mores, an antienter family than the Rowallans."

Notes for 1st High Stewart of Scotl Walter Fitzwalter:
Walter FitzAlan, 1st Steward of Scotland. Lord O' Oswestrie,
Title: High Stewart of Scotland
Walter Stewart, the youngest son of Alan Fitzflaald, went to Scotland, where he received from David I land in Renfrew, including Paisley, and the hereditary dignity of High Steward or Seneschal of Scotland, whence the surname, Stewart, (modified by some branches to "Steuart", or to French from "Stuart") took origin in rein (1153-1165) of Malcolm IV.

The title of Steward of Scotland was bestowed on Walter FitzAlan by David I, King of Scotland (1124 - 1153); under whose reign and the reigns of his brothers Edgar and Alexander before him, the Anglo-Norman feudal system and culture became more established in Scotland. King Malcolm IV (1153 - 1165) confirmed the honour bestowed by David I and made the office of Steward of Scotland hereditary in Walter's family.

Walter founded the Abbey of Paisley for monks of the Clunic order in 1160; and he defeated Somerled of the Isles in 1164.

Walter married to Eschina de Londonius, widow of Robert de Croc and probably daughter of Thomas de Londonius.
