Notes:

The sources relating to Helen Erskine are conflicting. However, it has now been confirmed, particularly through family wills, that she was the daughter of the Colonel John Erskine of the Alva family not the contemporaneous Colonel Jon Erskine of Carnock as stated in the Scots Peerage.

Scots Peerage (SP)-Helen Erskine is not referred to in Erskine, Lord Cardross entry but an unnamed daughter of Anna Dundas is. Referred to by name and parentage ( father only, John Erskine of Carnock) in Queensberry entry (However, SP is incorrect in this instance).2,8 Burke's Landed Gentry 20011 states her father is 'Col. John Erskine (brother of Sir Charles Erskine) of Alva,1st Bt and Deputy Governor of Stirling Castle (See Rosslyn, E.)'. The First Baronet of Alva was, in fact, Sir Charles Erkine, in turn, son of Sir Charles Erskine of Alva. The second Sir Charles Erskine had a brother, John, who was a colonel. The Douglas family Bible also says that Helen was the daughter of Colonel John Erskine, second son of Sir Charles Erkine of Alva.
The 1741 will and associated document of 1744 of Colonel John Erskine, brother of Sir Charles Erskine of Alva, names his four living daughters including Dame Helen Erskine, wife of Sir William Douglas of Kelhead.9 Named as eldest daughter of the "deceast Colonel John Areskine" in a dispute over his will brought about by Helen's half-sister, Mary in 1739

Christened:
The only Helen Erskine found born to a John Erskine and Jean Murray in Scotland in the right time period. This Helen was born in Stirling where it is known her father was based. The only other Helen Erskine in the right time period was baptised in Torryburn and her mother was called Helen.

Died:
20 July 1754 according to the Scots Peerage but 26 July 1754 according to the record of her last will and testament.
