Marion married Mungo Lindsay, 10th Laird of Bonhill (eldest, last) on 13 Dec 1579 in Scotland. Mungo (son of John Lindsay, 9th Lord of Bonhill and Isabella) was born in 1558 in Bonhill, Vale of Leven, West Dunbarton, Scotland; died in 1641. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

(Research):The Lindsays of Bonhill became almost as Celtic in blood as were their neighbors, the Colquhouns and McAuleys, with whom they intermarried. Moreover, they held hereditarily a Celtic offic, the Toscheagorship of the Lennox. But they were not so numerous in themselves, and their lands could not have supported such a following as would make them a body to be reckoned with.

NOTE: We don't know much about Christian Lindsay. She is referred to in Colquhoun sources as Lady Christian Lindsay of Bonniel, Scotland. Bonniel is a corruption of the town name, Bonhill, aka Ballul.

AND being the daughter of a Lord, she would not have been "Lady", but simply "Miss." but she married into nobility and therefore was able to use such a title.

I found a reference to Adam Colquhoun "who married a daughter of Lindsay of Bonhill"...Bonhill is a town in the Vale of Leven area of West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. It is sited on the Eastern bank of the River Leven, on the opposite bank from the larger town of Alexandria.  This makes total sense!

The Lord Lindsay of Bonhill at that time was Mungo Lindsay (also known as Kentigern or Quentin), who died in 1641. He became the 7th Lord of Bonhill in 1604. So this should be Christian's father. Her mother would have been Mungo's wife, Marion McAulay, daughter of Walter McAulay of Ardencaple.

This Bonhill is a town and parish that abuts Luss...so that would make Christian Lindsay the girl next door.

History of the Colquhouns and the Irish Land Grant: In 1616, Sir Alexander Colquhoun of Luss, was gifted land in Ireland from the King. He was given a portion of 1000 English acres, in the precinct of Portlough, Barony of Raphoe, County of Donegal, Ireland, which became known as the Manor of Corkagh.

His obligations as to the Irish lands were that 1) he would annually pay the King (after the 1st two years), ?5, 6 shillings, 8 cents; 2) make upon the land within 2 years a strong Court or Bawn; 3) have ready in his house at all times a convenient store of arms, with which to furnish a competent number of men for their defense; 4) Place, within 2 years, a competent number of English or inland Scots tenants upon his portion; 5) Be present, or place someone to be present, for 5 years upon the property; and 6) Enter a bond of ?200 for due performance of these conditions.

Alexander sent his daughter, Nancy, and her husband, John McAuselan (younger son of the Baron McAuselan), to live on the land and to develop it to the standards of the Crown.

In Alexander's first will, he gave the Irish inheritance of Corkagh Manor to Nancy and John McAuselan, but just before his death (in fact on 16 May 1617), Alexander changed his will to give over the land to his son, Adam, instead.

Alexander Colquhoun died on 23 May 1617.

Regardless of the disappointment on not inheriting Corkagh, Nancy and John continued living at the Manor and managing it for Adam Colquhoun (Nancy's brother). The new Laird of Luss, Nancy's brother, John... realizing what expenses Adam we have at Corkagh, agreed upon a sufficient provision for his brother Adam, to maintain the Estate.

Acting under a Royal Commission, Captain Nicholas Pynner made a visit to Corkagh in late 1618, and said this:

The Precinct of Portlough, appointed to Scottish undertakers, 1000 acres...the Laird of Luss hath 1000 acres called Corkagh. Upon this land there is a Bawne of clay and stone, 60 feet square, 10 feet high with 2 flankers and a poor house within it, which is thatched. I find planted and estated upon this land: 2 Freeholders, one having 300 acres, one having 100 acres; 3 Lessees, one having 330 acres, one having 300 acres, one having 195 acres; 5 Cottagers. Each of these have a house and garden plot. Total: 10 families, who with their undertenants are able to make 26 men, wherof 5 of the best have taken the Oath of Supremacy.

Adam Colquhoun married Christian Lindsay of Bonhill (sometimes Bonniel or Ballul) in about 1621, probably in Dunbartonshire, where they both lived.

They had at least 2 children, Robert (born about 1622) and Helen (born about 1625). There may have been other children but they did not survive infancy.

Christian Lindsay died about 1629 in Dumbarton, Dunbartonshire. Adam was a merchant there.

Shortly after 1629, at the death of Adam Colquhoun's wife, Christian Lindsay, he took his 2 children to Ireland for his sister, Nancy, to raise and look after.

In 1630, Adam Colquhoun signed over his Irish Land Grant to his son, Robert Colquhoun. In 1641, Robert married his cousin, Katherine McAuselan, daughter of his aunt and uncle Nancy and John McAuselan.

And so the Irish land stayed in the joint Colquhoun-McAuselan family after all.

Lady married Adam Colquhoun, Laird of Colquhoun, merchant of Dumbarton about 1621. Adam (son of Lord Alexander Alistair Colquhoun, 13th of Colquhoun, 15th of Luss, Lord of Dumbarton and Lady Margaret Helen Buchanan) was born on 5 Dec 1601 in Castle Knockmile, Luss, Dunbarton, Scotland; was christened on 21 Dec 1601 in Dunbarton, Scotland; died on 3 Dec 1634 in Dumbarton, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland.

Other references refer to Christian as being from Bonniel, which is obviously a corruption of Bonhill.

Calendar of Patent and Close Rolls (1630): Letters of Patent and Denizen, to Robert Colquhoun and grant to Him, his Heirs & Assigns, for ever, as an Undertaker of the Province of Ulster, of the small proportion of Corkagh, in the Precinct of Portlough, Barony of Raphoe, County of Donegal, containing 1000 acres, in Free & Common Soccage; The lands are created into a Manor, to be called the Manor of Corkagh.

Thus did Robert Colquhoun come to stand in the place of his grandfather, Sir Alexander, Laird of Luss, as an undertaker of the Province of Ulster, in the year of 1630.

And so the Irish land stayed in the joint Colquhoun-McAuselan family after all.
