  Dunbar's younger son Patrick Dunbar succeeded to Clugstoun and married Margaret Vaus illegitimate daughter of George Vaus, Bishop of Galloway, by whom he had an only daughter Margaret who carried the barony into the Stewart family by marrying Alexander Stewart yr. of Garlies. Margaret Dunbar must have been a lady of spirit and determination. As an expectant mother she had entered into some agreement with her husband as to the ultimate destination of the barony of Clugstoun. When on her childbed she learnt that her husband had broken that agreement and entailed all the estates including Clugstoun on his own heirs, failing issue by Margaret. No sooner was she safely delivered of her son and heir than she summoned a notary to draft a protest against her husband and to secure Clugstoun to her Dunbar heirs in the event of her child's death. This she did whilst still in child-bed and both the notary and the doctor in attendance witnessed it.
