CP IV:39 states that the first wife of Sir James Douglas of Dalkeith
(d. 1420), ancestor of the Earls of Morton, was Agnes Dunbar, daughter
of Patrick, Earl of Dunbar. It does not state *which* Patrick was her
father.
Chronology would tend to suggest that Agnes was daughter of Patrick,
Earl of Dunbar and March d.1368 by his second wife Agnes Randolph.

Is this the case?

CP IV:39 states that the first wife of Sir James Douglas of Dalkeith
(d. 1420), ancestor of the Earls of Morton, was Agnes Dunbar, daughter
of Patrick, Earl of Dunbar. It does not state *which* Patrick was her
father.
Chronology would tend to suggest that Agnes was daughter of Patrick,
Earl of Dunbar and March d.1368 by his second wife Agnes Randolph.

Is this the case?
>>

I have the following: My source for all of this is primarily the Scots
Peerage and secondarily Burke's. There is a direct contradiction between the
two involving "Black Agnes" Countess Dunbar who defended Dunbar castle against
the English.

Burke's names children for her, while the Scots peerage is adamant that she
and her husband had no children and that all of the descendants of Thomas
Randolph, Earl of Moray come from the 2nd daughter, Isabella, wife of another
Patrick Dunbar, cousin of the Earl.

Hope this helps,
