Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.
These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.

In December I had proposed a merger between Dunbar-4826 into Dunbar-2436. Family lore from both of his families seems to confirm the relationship (e.g. he took his Canadian family with his three boys and wife Kate McMillan to England in 1886 and sent them home and never returned to Canada himself). A DNA-confirmed relationship exists between two second cousins (i.e. great-grand children) from Alexander Dunbar's first family with Kate McMillan. It may be possible to mark such a relationship also as DNA-confirmed for the Dunbar-2436 focussed family provided someone on that branch has participated in a DNA test.
Even if autosomal DNA fails to confirm a relationship (which is not beyond the realm of possibility when you've got that many 50% reductions in DNA), a Y-DNA test ought to be quite helpful.
Sincerely, Eric Dunbar.
