from Scots Peerage (vol 1) ¹

Adam next married Janet DUNBAR, daughter of George DUNBAR 11th (and last) Earl of Dunbar and Beatrix.¹ (Janet DUNBAR was born about 1397.)

  Marriage Notes:

"Adam Johnstone was twice married .... his second (wife) was Janet Seton. She is usually called Janet Dunbar, and is said to have been the daughter of George, eleventh [tenth] Earl of March, and widow of John, first Lord Seton. This, however, is so far erroneous. She is distinctly referred to as Janet Seton, mother of George Seton ; she was the widow, not of Sir John Seton but, of his son William, who predeceased his father, being killed at Verneuil in 1424, and her son became George, first Lord Seton. At the same time her own name may have been Dunbar. (See that title.) But the evidence is not conclusive. She was apparently still a widow in 1433. Sir Richard Maitland tells a romantic story of the wooing of Adam Johnstone and Janet Seton, but it is contradicted in many points by dates and other facts."
