Yes the earldom of moray went from her father to her husband. The merge is correct but the LNAB should be Stewart
Moray-34 and Stewart-3020 are not ready to be merged because: I see in my profile she is the wife of the 2nd earl of Moray, but in yours she is the daughter of the 1st earl and husband of the and wife of the 2nd Lord Doune.

So does that mean she was the Countess of Moray in her own right? If that was the case, you are welcome to complete the merge. (You have done far more research than I have.)
