Andrew Balfour of North Carolina and John Balfour of South Carolina
[almost certainly of royal descent though the ancestry of the Dunbars of Inchbrook is obscure]
Alexander Dunbar of Inchbrook = [uncertain]
Ann Dunbar = George Balfour
John Balfour of Braidwood = Isabel Airell
Andrew Balfour of Braidwood = Margaret Robertson
Andrew Balfour, baptised 28 February 1737 in Temple, Midlothian, immigrated from Greenock to Boston in 1772, a salt manufacturer in Charleston and planter in Rowan Count, North Carolina, died 10 March 1782 and buried in Balfour Cemetery, Randolph County, North Carolina.
John Balfour, baptised 9 January 1749 in Temple, merchant and planter on the Peedee River and in Charleston, died 15 November 1781 in South Carolina.

(the connection with the Dunbars of Inchbrook remains unproven to my satisfaction)
