2. Sir Patrick 2nd MURRAY 2nd Lord Elibank, son of Sir Patrick 1st MURRAY 1st Lord Elibank of Ettrick Forest and Elizabeth DUNDAS of Arniston, was born before 1628.

He joined Montrose and was fined 20,000 Marks by a Committee of Parliament in 1646. Like his father, the second Earl was an enthusiastic royalist.
"He was but forty when he died, but it is not difficult to imagine that the son-in-law of Traquair, ruined by the ruin of the Royal cause, would meet with little sympathy in the country under the iron heel of Cromwell and dominated for the moment by the triumphant Covenant" - Mahon "Life of General the Hon. James Murray".
The fathers of both parents were good friends and political allies. Elizabeth's father succeeded Patrick's grandfather Gideon as Treasurer Depute, and in general there were many things that made bringing their families together through marriage a natural turn of events.
Nothing much else is known about the second Earl's life.
