Marriage Notes:
"Janet, said by Sir Robert Gordon to be the eldest, but apparently the only daughter of the Earl, was married, it is said, in 1480, to Alexander Dunbar, third son of Sir Alexander Dunbar of Westfield, and brother of Sir James Dunbar of Cumnock and of Gavin Dunbar, Bishop of Aberdeen. Alexander Dunbar had the lands of Altcash, Kilcolmkill, and others. He was murdered between 25 and 31 March 1498, by Alexander Sutherland of Daldred or Dirlot, who was executed for the crime. His wife survived till 1511 or 1512, when her terce was paid to her, but nothing is known of her after that date. She was, by Alexander Dunbar, mother of James Dunbar of Conze, and the ancestress of the Dunbars of Kilbuiac, Mochrum, Asleisk, Northfield and others."
