Patrick "swore fealty to Edward I of England, and was a steadfast adherent
of the English interest, but his wife, Marjory Comyn, dau. of Alexander
Comyn, Earl of Buchan, sided with the opposite party, and held the castle
of Dunbar for Baliol, until forced to surrender it to Edward in 1296. In
1298, the Earl of March was appointed the King's Lieutenant in Scotland,
and in 1300 was at the siege of Carlaverock. By Marjory, his wife, he had
issue, Patrick, his heir; and George, ancestor of the family of Dunbar, of
Mochrum, the direct line of which ended in the three daus. and co-heirs of
Patrick Dunbar, of Mochrum, who all married Dunbars. Their uncle, the
heir-male, was Cuthbert Dunbar, of Blantyre." - Burke's
"Dormant...Peerages."
