Alexander married Matilda FRASER heiress of Frendraught, daughter of James FRASER of Frendraught and Unknown.^{1 2} (Matilda FRASER heiress of Frendraught was born about 1385.)

  Marriage Notes:

"It is impossible to say whether the Mauld Fraser who married Alexander Dunbar, second son of John Dunbar, Earl of Moray was the daughter of the last James Fraser ; but their son, James Dunbar, was Lord of Frendraught in 1425, and afterwards succeeded his cousin, Thomas, in the earldom of Moray ; and the seal of his daughter, Janet Dunbar, Countess of Moray 1454, where the fess cheque again appears between three rosettes or cinquefoils, 2.1, seems to show that she could claim a legitimate descent .... "

from Frasers of Philorth (vol 2)




"Alexander, who is first named on record on 21 September 1393, when his brother Earl Thomas, acting as his procurator, acknowledged on his behalf that he had no right or title to the Maison Dieu at Elgin, except by intrusion, his father, Earl John, having occupied the place violently. The Earl therefore resigned the house in the hands of the Bishop of Moray, who restored the former Master. Nothing more is recorded of Alexander, save that he is said to have married Matilda, the heiress of James Fraser of Frendraught, and to have had issue, JAMES DUNBAR, who became fourth Earl of Moray."
