So she may well have died in childbirth.

Pending further research:
IGI - name: Marrion Mcwhirter baptism 03 Nov 1781, BARR BY GIRVAN, AYR, SCOTLAND father's name: John Mcwhirter, C11580-2
This could be her Fathers 2nd or 3rd marriage to step a mother as no siblings were found before the 1785 matrriage date below:

Thus could then be Marion's half brother:

Marion ( _ _ ?_ _ ) died about 80 years of age in 1862, the same year that her husband Hugh died aged 99
