Jean married Sir Alexander DUNBAR of Cumnock, 4th of Westfield, 'the Bold Sheriff' of Moray, son of Sir James DUNBAR of Cumnock, 3rd of Westfield, Sheriff of Moray and Elizabeth OGILVY.1 (Sir Alexander DUNBAR of Cumnock, 4th of Westfield, 'the Bold Sheriff' of Moray was born about 1508 and died about 1576 2.)


  Marriage Notes:

"George (Munro of Obsdale) was born of a very illustrious man and chief of his surname, Robert Munro of Fowlis, by Katharine Ross, daughter of Alexander Ross, Laird of Balnagown, by Elizabeth Sinclair, daughter of the most famous Earl of Caithness : and Robert was born of the former Robert of Fowlis, Laird thereof (who fell honourably fighting valiantly for his country in the battle of Pinkie), of Anna Dunbar, daughter of Alexander Dunbar, Sheriff of Moray, by Jean Falconer, daughter of the Laird of Halcartoun"

from Birth-Brief in History of the Munros of Fowlis

Note:

The above birth-brief extract does not say which laird of Halkerton was the father of Jean Falconer. George Falconer just about fits the timeline. had Jean been the daughter of his son David Falconer, she would have been a second cousin of Alexander Dunbar, through David's wife, also a Dunbar, which perhaps makes it less likely.
