do not not have living descendants, according to Douglas Richardson in his
Magna Charta Ancestry book, quoting CP IV pages 506 and 507 as source for
his statement.
Page 506 at the bottom starts with Patrick Dunbar and on 507 is recorded his
marriage to Marjory Comyn.
Page 507 continues with the son of Patrick and Marjory, another Patrick born
about 1285 and dying s.p. in a footnote his two sons are mentioned both died
apparently unmarried and not leaving any children. Because he had no male
children (nor female apparently) he resigned the Earldom to the crown who
granted it to his great-nephew and heir male..
In other words Patrick and Marjory had two sons, the elder dying without
children alive, the second being the grandfather of George Dunbar, subsquent
Earl and father of the next Earl and so on.
And so it is obvious Douglas Richardson read only so far-----and not far
enough.
I do hope to see his website and hope to find two pages, one for each book,
with corrections and amendments.
With best wishes

According to a quick count in my system, Marjory Comyn and her husband
have some 57,886 descendants recorded in my website.. Many are alive today
such as Prince William of Wales, Doug McDonald, Andrew McEwen and Peter de
Loriol, but then my data base is not as praise worthy as others

Dear Newsgroup Members,
According to D Richardson`s
recent
work on Magna Charta Ancestry, p 60 under Beaumont Marjory Comyn,
daughter of
Alexander Comyn, Earl of Buchan by Elizabeth de Quincy married Patrick
Dunbar,
Earl of Dunbar and March. At the end of the paragraph Richardson states
They
have no living descendants his source being CP IV: pp 506-07, however
according to Weis MC 5 line 108B Generation 4 citing the same together
with SP II pp
254-6 and SP III P 263 as well concluded that They had descendants
including
Margaret Dunbar, wife of Alexander Lindsay , 4th Earl of Crawford. I
wonder
which is correct.
Sincerely,
