Robert Dunbar's parents are in question. He was probably not the son of Ninian Dunbar, who had a son Sir Robert Dunbar in Scotland.
Speculation: Robert is definitely not the son of Sir Ninian Dunbar of Grange. Sir Ninian did indeed have a son named Robert, but that Robert went on the become a member of Parliament. Robert never left what is now the UK. While he was arguing in Parliament, Robert & Rose of Hingham were busy building their family in Hingham. Robert of Hingham never left Massachusetts after arriving there in 1650. Obviously they can not be the same man. Robert was a very commmon name in the Dunbar line, particularly in the 16th and 17th centuries.
This Sir Robert Dunbar of Grangehill was the son of Ninian Dunbar of Grangehill & Marion Ogilvy, of Banff
