General Notes:
"The Earl had also two natural sons and a daughter:
1. William, who had a grant from his father of the lands of Drumlanrig, and who became the ancestor of the
Douglases ot Drumlanrig, Dukes and Marquesses of Queensberry.
2. Archibald, who received the lands of Cavers from his aunt Isabel, Countess of Mar, some time before 1405. In 1412 King James I. confirmed the grant, and Archibald's descendants still possess the lands.
3. Eleanor, who married Sir William Fraser, second of Philorth. They received from her aunt Isabel, Countess of Mar, on 8 December 1404, certain lands in the shire of Banff. From them the Frasers, Lords Saltoun, descend."

Marriage Notes:
"The Earl had also two natural sons and a daughter "
from Scots Peerage (vol 3)
"Taking into consideration the probable date of her birth, about 1385, and that she was dowered by Isabella, Countess of Mar, it may be conjectured that she was an illegitimate daughter of that lady's brother, the gallant James, second Earl of Douglas and Earl of Mar, who fell at Otterburn in 1388."
from Frasers of Philorth 1 3
James next married Isabella STEWART, daughter of Robert II STEWART King of Scots and Elizabeth MURE 'of Rowallan', 24 September 1371(papal dispensation).1 2 (Isabella STEWART was born about 1353 and died about 1410.)
Marriage Notes:
"Isabella, was married first (by dispensation 24 September 1371), to James, Earl of Douglas ..."
from Scots Peerage (vol 1)
"The Earl's wife was Isabel Stewart, daughter of King Robert II. The dispensation for their union is dated 24 September 1371, but it is not certain whether the marriage took place at that time or two years later, when £500 was paid on account of the marriage-contract .... By her the Earl had, according to Godscroft, one son, but he died in infancy, and his name has not been recorded."
