Father |
James (4th Earl of Moray) Dunbar d. 10 Aug 1430, Murdered At Frendraught |
Mother |
Katherine Or Janet Seton d. Yes, date unknown |
Marriage |
- Earl James was married, but the history of his marriage or marriages is obscure. Macfarlane, the two editions of Douglas's Peerage, and Dr. George Burnett in the Exchequer Rolls, all express varying opinions, but failing any charter evidence, of which none has been discovered, the oldest testimony on the subject may be stated. Hector Boece, though not a reliable authority, seems to have known facts about the Dunbars which were overlooked by genealogists until lately discovered to be comparatively true. He wrote about 1527, and his continuation volume, printed in 1574, is closely followed by Pitscottie, who states that James Dunbar, Earl of Moray, was handfasted to Isobel Innes, daughter to the Laird of Innes, but she died before marriage. After her death the Earl married Katharine (or Janet), daughter to Alexander Seton of Gordon.

Jonet Dunbar, who was dead be fore 19 January 1505- 6 , when her grandson obtained a charter of Kirkpatrick- Irnegray
In March 1494 , when under the style of Joneta Dunbar domina de Frendrach, she was served heir to her sister Elizabeth in the lands of Dunbeath and Brawl in Caithness , a fact which proves the extinction of the issue of Archibald Douglas, Earl of Moray.
