So, in my opinion, the parliamentary source is likely to be the erroneous one.

I'm not sure about the date (1562/67?) as I cannot read the text; but the seal does appear to be that of the earls of Lennox from 1495 (Scottish

The first Colin was Laird of Mains and died in 1801, marked in the WP article as 15th.
