Robert married Margaret LUMSDEN, daughter of Thomas LUMSDEN 4th and last of Conland and Marjory GORDON.1 2 (Margaret LUMSDEN was born about 1497.)
Marriage Notes:
"Margaret (Lumsden) married - (1) William Johnstone of that ilk (Caskieben, now called Keith Hall), who was killed at Flodden; and (2) Duncan Forbes of Corsindae. Nisbet, in the Appendix to his Heraldry, says that Margaret Lumsden married Lundin of that ilk. It may, perhaps, be true; but in what order this much-married lady took her husbands I know not."
from Families of Lumsden
Note:
The Lundies of Balgonie are descended from the family of Lundin of that Ilk.
"Robert (Lundie) succeeded his brother Andrew to Balgonie, and obtained the Barony of Conland through his marriage to Margaret Lumisden, the heiress of Thomas Lumisden of Conland. Not much is known about Robert's life, but he was succeeded to Balgonie by his eldest son David after his death around 1581. The Barony of Conland was passed first to his second son, James; and next to his third son, Robert. Both these children died without issue and Conland was finally settled upon Robert and Margaret's fourth son, Andrew Lundie (4th of that name of Conland). Several generations later, the Lundies of Conland would become the representatives of Lundie of Balgonie.
They had several daughters of which included Agnes Lundie who married Sir William Graham of Claverhouse, and were the great-grandparents of John Graham, Viscount Dundee."
from lundie.org website
"Robert Lundie of Balgonie, some sources say the son of James, some the brother or cousin. Robert married Margaret Lumisden, the heiress of Thomas Lumisden of Conland. This marriage added to the estate of Robert Lundie, an estate that at the time was one of the greatest in Fife, the lands and barony of Conland. There is a sasine in favour of Robert Lundie, of the lands of Conland dated 1544. In 1564, Thomas Lumisden renounces the lands of Wester Conland in favour of an honourable lady, Margaret Lumisden, spouse to Robert Lundie of Balgonie."
