Memoirs of the Jacobites of 1715 and 1745
MEMOIRS OF THE JACOBITES OF 1715 AND 1745. By MRS. THOMSON, AUTHOR OF “MEMOIRS OF THE COURT OF HENRY THE EIGHTH,” “MEMOIRS OF SARAH, DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH,” ETC. VOLUME I. LONDON: RICHARD BENTLEY, NEW BURLINGTON STREET, Publisher in Ordinary to Her Majesty. 1845. LONDON: Printed by S. & J. BENTLEY, WILSON, and FLEY, Bangor House, Shoe Lane. PREFACE. In completing two volumes of a work which has been for some years in contemplation, it may be remarked that it is the only collective Biography of the Jacobites that has yet been given to the Public. Meagre accounts, scattered anecdotes, and fragments of memoir, have hitherto rather tantalized than satisfied those who have been interested in the events of 1715 and 1745. The works of Home, of Mr. Chambers, and the collections of Bishop Forbes, all excellent, are necessarily too much mingled up with the current of public affairs to comprise any considerable portion of biographical detail. Certain lives of some of the sufferers in the cause of the Stuarts, printed soon after the contests in behalf of those Princes, are little more than narratives of their trials and executions; they were intended merely as ephemeral productions to gratify a curious public, and merit no long existence. It would have been, indeed, for many years, scarcely prudent, and certainly not expedient, to proffer any information concerning the objects of royal indignation, except that which the newspapers afforded: nor was it perfectly safe, for a considerable time after the turbulent times in which the sufferers lived, to palliate their offences, or to express any deep concern for their fate.

I remain deeply in debt to the inspiration and mentorship of David Spring. Preface In this list cadet, associated, and stem families are arranged in a single entry when substantial property passed between one and the other providing continuity of parliamentary representation (even, as was the case in a few instances, when no blood or marriage relationship existed). Subsidiary/cadet families are usually grouped under the oldest, richest, or most influential stem family. Female MPs are counted with their birth families, or, if not born into a parliamentary family, with their husband’s family.

Index to Genealogies, Birthbriefs and Funeral Escutcheons
: SCOTTISH RECORD SOCIETY. INDEX TO GENEALOGIES, BIRTHBRIEFS AND FUNERAL ESCUTCHEONS BEGOBDED IJ\' THE LYOX OFFICE. BY FRANCIS J. GRANT, W.S. ROTHESAY HERALD AND LYON CLERK. EDINBURGH PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY BY JAMES SKINNER & COMPANY, EDINBURGH ! PRINTED BY JAMES SKINNER AND COMPANY. — 1403857 PREFACE. The various Records, whose contents are indexed in the list now printed, may be divided into three divisions— Genealogies, Birthbriefs and Funeral Escutcheons. The first consists of the Official Register of all Genealogies and Birthbriefs in Scotland, which commences on 3rd Decem- ber 1727. Volume I. ends on 15th January 1796 and Volume TIL begins 1 6th August 1827 and is continued to date. Volume II. is not now in existence, if indeed it ever existed at all. It is not mentioned in an inventory of the Lyon Office Records in 181 9, but several pedigrees, which were intended to be recorded in it, are still preserved in draft in what is called the "Arboretum" or "collection of trees." The names of those as well as others, not now in the Lyon Office though the fees for recording them are entered in the cash book, have been added to the list. These volumes are referred to as G. I., 11. and III. The Birthbriefs and Funeral Escutcheons give the names and in many instances the arms of the parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and great-great-grand- parents, of the person in whose favour they were granted or of the deceased, whose hatchment was, by warrant of the Lord Lyon, painted and placed over the door of his mansion or burial place.

Ancient and Modern
MU.N^.50 3 «S!\V' fil§ii§§?if AND J 1 Jh, ft HI PRINTED FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION. 1875. THE APOLOGY This hook has been written in order that those who may hereafter wish for information concerning- an eventful period in the history of the Earldom of mar may be informed of all the matters in dispute. The statements herein advanced are substantiated by reference to documentary evidence, and the questions propounded are framed with regard to issues which must remain open until the said questions are answered by competent authority. The work is intended also as some record, brief and imperfectly written though it be, of the endeavours made by the heir of line to the ancient Earldom of Mar to preserve intact the honours transmitted through a long and famous ancestry. The whole body of the nobility of the United Knigdom is directly interested in the integral maintenance of the rights of one of its members. The heir of line of the House of Mar stands not as one who, having failed to establish his claim, cavils at the decision of the authority to which he has appealed, for he appeared in this suit merely as objecting' to a modern peerage called Mar (unknown till the year 1875) being- conceded to his cousin Lord Kellie. The title deeds of the ancient and historic Earldom of Mar are too deeply graven on the records of Scotland to be easily effaced. In the result every effort to prevent what is still believed to be an erroneous award has been unsuccessful ; but confidence in the justice of his cause which has upheld Lord Kellie's opponent during a protracted struggle of years is in no way diminished.

The designs and ornaments of this volume are by Mr. Joseph Brown, and the printing from the press of Messrs. T. and A. Constable, Edinburgh. TsOsG PREFACE In 1792 the eleventh Earl of Buchan published a volume of Essays on the Life and Writings of Fletcher of Saltowi and the Poet Thomson. It contains our only biography of Fletcher ; but, though founded on original sources of information, it is frequently inaccurate, and must, therefore, be used with great caution. The author of the article on Fletcher in the third edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica (1797) mentions that the tenth Earl Marischal, when Governor of Neuchatel, suggested to Rousseau that he should write the life of Fletcher. Rousseau was furnished with mss. for this purpose; but nothing came of it, and most of the materials on which that work was to have been founded seem to have been lost. Some interesting documents, however, are preserved in the University Library at Edinburgh, including mss.

THE orthodox beginning to a history of the family of Douglas is to quote the " words of David Hume of Godscroft : We do not know them in the Foun- tain, in the not in the Root, but in the Stock and Stem ; for we but Stream ; know not who was the first mean Man that did by his Virtue raise himself above the Vulgar." These words were written in 1625 and are true to-day, and will probably remain so for all time. Hume's work was the first family history printed, its compilation was finished in 1625, he obtained a licence to print it in 163 1, and the first edition was printed about 1633, only one copy of which is known to exist.
