Stirnet.com note:
Sir Robert claimed the earldom of Mar through his mother's mother's mother Elyne/Elen, daughter of Gartney/Gratney, Earl of Mar. The claim was not formally accepted until the time of John, 6th Lord Erskine. Even then, however, there was uncertainty as to whether or not the identification of that lord as Earl of Mar was acceptance of his family's longstanding claim or a new appointment. The intervening lords are nevertheless sometimes referred to as 'de jure Earls of Mar'.
There is some confusion regarding the identity of Sir Robert's wife. We show both of the alternatives and point out that he may have married first one then the other. We show that but stress that this is an assumption. The precedence amongst the Erskine records to naming the Stewart daughter before Elizabeth Lindsay suggests (but does not prove) that Robert's heir was born by that Stewart.
As noted above, there is some confusion regarding the identity of Sir Robert's wife. According to TSP (Mar), dispensation for the marriage between Janet and Walter Stewart was obtained because they were related in the 3rd degree which supports the view that she was daughter of Elizabeth Lindsay. As it is another assumption that Janet was born after Thomas and 'hence' that Elizabeth was Sir Robert's second rather than first wife, there is no indication as to who was the mother of Christian or Elizabeth.
