He is the second of this family to appear specifically as Earl of Dunbar in the ancient records. There are no records in the Scots' Peerage archives or in the Lyon Office of the creation of Earl of Lothian.

Nice job on getting merge settled.

Cawley lists 2 other children, Patrick and William born after Waltheof. Waltheof would be the heir who succeeded Gospatrick, and the succession line of Earls for Clan Dunbar was underway with Waltheof's son Patrick.

Lots of significant descendants in addition to the Dunbar Earls, for Gospatrick III. and House of Dunbar Includes Gilchrist earls of Angus; the families Stewart; Carrick, Bruce, MacDonald, Douglas, MacLean,
