Pg 10 George Traill, from Blebo in Fife came to Orkney with Earl Robert Stewart in the capacity of Steward or Factor, that his first wife was Jean Kennedy of Carmunks, a near relation of the Cassilis family, and that his second wife was Isabel d/o Sir William Craigie of Gairsay. Now, I can find no indication that George Traill had any management of Earl Robert’s affairs, though in more than one document he is styled “Servitor to ane noble and potent Lord Patrick Earl of Orkney” and it is quite possible that he held some position of trust under both Earls.156423

Pg 154 George Traill in Westness, from Isobel Craigie, his second wife, descended the Traills of Westove, Elsness, Sabay, Quendall, and Hobbister (now Ratter and Hobbister), Westness and Woodwick104581

4. George Traill: With regard to the parentage of his second wife, Isabel Craigie, it is an undoubted fact that George Traill died and left her a widow with 13 children in the 1634, at least 8 or 10 years before the birth of Sir William Craigie! There is, however, some evidence to show that Isabel was the d/o an ancestor of Sir William Craigie of Gairsay.45709 (Isabel Craigie his mother or his second wife?)
5. Col Thomas Traill 1st of Holland Marr: 2 Feb 1632 Kirkwall & St Ola Orkney, Marion Craigie. His wife was the sister of his father’s second wife. (Isabel Craigie b: abt 1570; Marion Craigie b: 1615, about 45 yrs apart? Sisters?)

Pg 11 Opinion is divided, as to whether his (George Traill) wife was a Kennedy of Carmunks or of Bargeny; and with regard to the parentage of his second wife, Isabel Craigie, it is an undoubted fact that George Traill died and left her a widow with 13 children in the year 1634, at least 8 or 10 years before the birth of Sir William Craigie! There is, however, some evidence to show that Isabel was the d/o a Sir William Craigie of Gairsay.156423
