  Family	Egidia de Burgh  [1]
  Married	Weir identifies Celicia de Dunbar as the mother of Walter. [2] Crawley states that "Symson records that James Stewart married 'Cecilia daughter to Patrick Earl of Dunbar?the first of that family who quitted that title and assumed that of March', adding that Cecilia was the mother of James's children. without citing the corresponding primary source. [Symson, D. (1712) A Genealogical and Historical Account of the Illustrious Name of Stuart (Edinburgh), p. 102.] Andrew McEwen indicates that 'no documentary evidence has been found' to support this statement, but adds that 'though hardly free from error, Symson's work is always deserving of respect', and highlights that 'it is highly unlikely that Muriel of Strathearn, whom he married in 1278, was James's first wife'[MacEwen, Wives of Sir James the Steward, Appendix, p. 398].
