Margaret Wood (courtier)

[4] The Catholic author George Conn described Margaret Wood as the sister of James Wood, the younger laird of Boniton or Bonnington (Bonnyton) near Montrose in Maryton parish, and wife of James (or William) Gray, tutor of the House of Schivas.

[7] In 1598 she organised the baptism of the child of a woman in Ellon parish, Elizabeth Burn from the Yett of Birness.

[8] Wood told her to take the baby to "the burn next to Barrowley" near Buffel Hill, where a man dressed in black plaid performed the ceremony.

[9] Her brother, James Wood, returned to Scotland from France in April 1599 travelling with the English poet Henry Constable.

[11] Margaret Wood also attended the Mass at Andrew Napier's house, and was described as a servant of Henrietta Stewart, Marchioness of Huntly, rather than Anne of Denmark.
