DUFFUS, Barony (Scot. 1650).—The destination of the Peerage is unknown. It was claimed in 1838 by Benjamin Dunbar (by paternal descent Sutherland) as heir male, and by Rev. Eric Rudd as heir of line. The heirs male are now extinct, but a Mr. Sutherland Edwards claims as heir of line. There seems no way of ever deciding the point.

DUNBAR (Scot.).—It is not unlikely that the Marquess of Bute is also Earl of Dunbar (or March) under the re-grant of 1368.

DUNBAR (Scot. 1605).—An Earldom now dormant in the Home family.

DUNBAR.—A Viscounty is now dormant in the Constable family.

FERRERS, Barony (writ 1299).—Heirs: Charles Vere Townshend Mainwaring-Ellerker-Onslow

FITZ PAYNE, Barony (writ 1299).—Heirs: The heir of Sir John Arundel, of Lanherne (d. 1701); Lord Mowbray and Stourton . FITZ WALTER, Barony (writ 1295).—In all probability the sole heir is the present Henry Fitzwalter Plumptree, of Goodnestone Park, who is therefore probably de jure Lord Fitz Walter. In any event, he is co-heir to an undivided moiety. (See also DEVEREUX.)

FITZWARYN, Barony (writ 1283).—On 21 May, 1914, the House of Lords decided that the barony was in abeyance amongst (a) Viscount Gage; (b) Col. H. Montgomery Campbell; (c) the heir, if any, of Mary Mackworth, and (d) Reginald Joseph Weld.
