However the 1617 contract is primary evidence for the Montgomery marriage, and since it was drawn up before the Campbell/Cornwallis marriage it must refer to the Campbell/Douglas daughter.

Um, no, the Campbell-Cornwallis marriage took place in 1609.  It is possible that in 1617 there was only one daughter named Mary, from the Campbell-Douglas marriage.  Unfortunately there is no primary evidence yet for a birth of a Mary (which is stated in sources to have taken place cir 1622) from the Campbell-Cornwallis marriage

It is said that Robert Montgomery the younger married Mary Campbell, 4th daughter of Archibald 7th Earl of Argyll and that they had 3 children. It is also said that this Robert died in the lifetime of his father who died in 1651.
Is it not possible that Mary, widow of Robert Montgomery the younger, then married James, 2nd Lord Rollo?


No, I'm afraid that really doesn't work.
Robert Montgomery (who married Mary Campbell) seems to have died in 1647.  Mary was married to him until either his death or her death - she cannot have been a widow in 1642 and married James Rollo at that time.

Hi

According to https://archive.org/details/houseofargyllcol00glas/page/43/mode/1up  The House of Argyll book:

Archibald first married Lady Ann Douglas, and had a son and four daughters - the fourth being Mary, who married Sir Robert Montgomery.  He secondly married Ann, daughter of Sir WIlliam Cornwallis of Brome, and had a son (James) and a daughter Mary, who married James, Lord Rollo.

Does this help?

It does seem to answer the original question. Thank you.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

There might be something in the Register of the Great Seal.
