12. | Sir Alexander Dunbar (son of Patrick (7th Earl of Dunbar) Dunbar and Cecilia ( of Warkworth) Fitz Robert); died in 1331. Notes:
Father sometimes shown as Patrick Black-Beard (8th Earl of Dunbar)Dunbar. Doug Hickling's research suggests otherwise.
For sources, etc. see information received from Doug Hickling "THEANCESTRY OF MARGARET DUNBAR, WHO MARRIED ROBERT MUNRO, 14TH BARON OFFOULIS" in Notes under Margaret (of Cumnock) Dunbar
The problem has been that, although Scots Peerage lists Sir From DougHickling
"Alexander Dunbar of Westfield, Sheriff of Moray, it does not continuethe line because he was not a peer. As it happens, Margaret Dunbar wasdescended from this Alexander (Sir) Dunbar, the line from him being:James (Sir) Dunbar, second baron of Westfield, Sheriff of Murray, etc.;
James (Sir) Dunbar of Cumnock and Westfield, Sheriff of Murray, etc.; andAlexander (Sir) Dunbar of Cumnock and Westfield, Sheriff of Murray, etc.The Margaret who married Robert Munro 14th of Foulis was this Sheriff'sdaughter.
I mentioned above that it was hard to find information on the successorsto the first Dunbar Sheriff of Moray because he and they were not peers.
However, I found the information needed in Robert (Sir) Douglas's THEBARONAGE OF SCOTLAND, published in 1798. By some miracle, the UCBerkeley rare book library had this work in its collection and thequality of the paper was so high that they even made photocopies of itfor me. "

15. | Isabel (of Bonkyl) Stewart was born in 1280 (daughter of Sir John (of Bonkyl & Garlies) Stewart and Margaret Bonkyl); died after 16 Jul 1351 in 1348. Notes:
From Doug Hickling
"As you will note from the Dunbar lineage I have emailed you and the
supplemental Dunbar materials coming to you by priority mail, a fewchanges
in your GEDCOM listings are in order. You list the mother of John (1stEarl
of Moray) Dunbar as Black Agnes (of Moray) Randolph. In fact Black Agnesand her husband had no children and John (1st Earl of Moray) Dunbar wasthe son of Patrick (Sir) Dunbar, who married Isabella Randolph, who wasBlack Agnes' sister. Isabella (or Isobel or Isabel) Randolph and hersister Agnes were daughters of Thomas (Sir) Randolph, who became firstEarl of Moray, and his wife Isobel Stewart, daughter of John (Sir)Stewart of Bonkill by Margaret,
heiress of Bonkhill. This is shown in SP 6:294-5. Thus neither of the
Randolph sisters were descended from John/Thomas (3rd Earl of MorayRegent) Randolph and his spouse Euphemia de Ross. SP 6:295-7, says thatThomas, second Earl of Moray, left no issue and neither did his brotherJohn, 3rd Earl of Moray. So, Euphemia had no children by him and latermarried the man who became King Robert II and had children by him."
