He married Margaret, daughter of Ross of Braelangwell. He sold the heritable Sheriffship of Moray, which had been nearly 300 years in the family, to Charles Earl of Moray, and conveyed the estate to Elizabeth, daughter of Alexander Dunbar, fifteenth laird of Westfield, by his wife, Margaret Calder, daughter of Sir James Calder of Muirton. He himself died without issue in the year 1744, and in him ended the whole male line of Sir James Dunbar of Westfield, eldest son of the first Sir Alexander Dunbar, Sheriff of Moray, who was only son of James Dunbar, fifth and last Earl of Moray of the name of Dunbar."
