Earlier authors have sometimes given her name as Elizabeth Villiers, for example Cockayne Complete Peerage vol V, p. 385 (1893) and Paul, The Scots Peerage, Vol VI p. 378 (1909). However, according to a set of corrections for the Dictionary of National Biography published in the Bulletin of the Institute of Historical Research, ix, p. 138 (1931) that was not correct, and her name should be Anne, as given for example in the Villiers pedigree in John Nichols's Leicestershire, vol III, p. 198" (1800). This correction was duly adopted in the second edition of the Complete Peerage, vol IX p. 296, note e (1936), and by modern authorities including the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (2004) in its article "Douglas, William, seventh earl of Morton" (doi:10.1093/ref:odnb/7933). The naming of the portraits and early engravings (as in the collection at the National Portrait Gallery) may be decisive, given that these are indeed likely to be of her rather than her mother-in-law Lady Anne Keith.
