  Marriage Notes:

"The result was that he married, secondly, Margaret Douglas, daughter of Sir James Douglas of Dalkeith, and on his own resignation obtained from Archibald of Douglas, Lord of Galloway and Bothwell a new charter of the lands of Arbuthnott, dated 25 October 1372, in favour of himself and his wife and the longest liver of them and the heirs-male of the marriage."

"By Margaret Douglas, who is said after his death to have married Fleming of Braid,1 (1 Originis. 'Fleming' is probably a mistake for 'Fairlie,' which was then and for several generations afterwards the family who owned Braid.) he had, with other issue whose names have not been preserved : 1. Hugh, his successor, and 2. Margaret or Marjorie, who was married to her cousin Sir William Monypenny (dispensation dated 24 February 1410), by whom she had a son William, created Lord Moneypenny."

from Scots Peerage (vol 1)




"Margaret, married, before 25 October 1372, to Philip Arbuthnott of that Ilk, and had issue. She is usually said to be the daughter of Agnes Dunbar, but as the latter was married a month after her reputed daughter, and is constantly styled the first wife of Sir James, the conclusion seems irresistible that Margaret was a natural daughter."
