"James Cumin, who married Elizabeth Irvine, daughter to the Laird of Lenway, and with her begot .... William Cumin, who married Elizabeth Meldrum"

from A System of Heraldry




(in a footnote on page 15 referring to the 1478 struggle between Alexander Comyn and Alexander Irwin of Drum)

"Alexander Comyn's grandmother had been an Irvine. Drum, as has been previously observed, calls Leys as well as Comyn his kinsman. If the mother or grandmother of the latter had been an Irvine, the consanguinity between the Comyns and Bumets would be accounted for, which made the papal dispensation necessary."
