From Doug Hickling "As you will note from the Dunbar lineage I have emailed you and the supplemental Dunbar materials coming to you by priority mail, a fewchanges in your GEDCOM listings are in order. You list the mother of John (1stEarl of Moray) Dunbar as Black Agnes (of Moray) Randolph. In fact Black Agnesand her husband had no children and John (1st Earl of Moray) Dunbar wasthe son of Sir Patrick Dunbar, who married Isabella Randolph, who wasBlack Agnes' sister. Isabella (or Isobel or Isabel) Randolph and hersister Agnes were daughters of Sir Thomas Randolph, who became first Earlof Moray, and his wife Isobel Stewart, daughter of Sir John Stewart ofBonkill by Margaret, heiress of Bonkhill. This is shown in SP 6:294-5. Thus neither of the Randolph sisters were descended from John/Thomas (3rd Earl of MorayRegent) Randolph and his spouse Euphemia de Ross. SP 6:295-7, says thatThomas, second Earl of Moray, left no issue and neither did his brotherJohn, 3rd Earl of Moray. So, Euphemia had no children by him and latermarried the man who became King Robert II and had children by him."
