James married Elizabeth IRVINE, daughter of Sir Alexander DE IRWYNE 3rd of Drum and Daughter DE MONTEFORD.1 2 (Elizabeth IRVINE was born about 1395.)


  Marriage Notes:

(in a footnote on page 15 referring to the 1478 struggle between Alexander Comyn and Alexander Irwin of Drum)
"Alexander Comyn's grandmother had been an Irvine. Drum, as has been previously observed, calls Leys as well as Comyn his kinsman. If the mother or grandmother of the latter had been an Irvine, the consanguinity between the Comyns and Bumets would be accounted for, which made the papal dispensation necessary."

from Family of Burnett

" ... from the statement in Nisbet's 'Heraldry' that.... James Cumin of Inverallochy married Elizabeth Irvine, daughter of the laird of Lenway (Lunmay)." (page 52, footnote 3)

from Irvines of Drum 1 2
