Preferred Citation [Identification of item], William Pulteney Papers, The Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Acquisition Information Purchased from Maggs Bros. Ltd, London, June 18, 1952. Biographical Note William Johnstone, afterward Sir William Pulteney (1729-1805), 5th Bart., M.P. for Cromartyshire (1768-1774) and for Shrewsbury (1885-1805), and the author of several political pamphlets. He was the son of Sir James Johnstone, Bart. of Westerhall Co. Dumfries; in 1760 he married Frances Pulteney, the heiress of the estates of Sir William Pulteney, Earl of Bath (d. 1764) and General Harry Pulteney (d. 1767). After her death in 1782, Sir William Pulteney married Margaret, widow of Andrew Stewart of Castlemilk. Pulteney's "principal interests were in financial and economic matters, which encompassed American and East Indian affairs, agriculture, fisheries, and transport throughout Great Britain" (DNB); at the time of his death, William Pulteney was reputedly the wealthiest man in Great Britain. After Pulteney's death in 1805, his fortune passed to Henrietta Laura Pulteney, Countess of Bath, his only daughter and heir; in 1794 she married her cousin, Sir James Murray of Hillhead Co. Midlothian, Bart. (ca. 1751-1811) who assumed the additional name of Pulteney. Arrangement The collection is organized in the following series: Correspondence, Manuscripts and Documents (Boxes 1-36); Ephemera (Box 36); arranged chronologically. Scope and Content The bulk of the collection consists of letters addressed to Sir William Pulteney, and an additional several hundred letters addressed to Sir James Murray-Pulteney (written 1790-1811). The collection includes the Johnstone and Pulteney families, including accounts of the death of Sir William Pulteney, Earl of Bath, and the publication of his Memoirs; also, numerous letters from Sir William Pulteney's brothers, sister, and father relating to family affairs. A large number of letters and documents deal with the administration of Sir William Pulteney's property in Scotland and his wife's properties in Bath, as well as letters from several agents discussing farming, limestone quarries, coal mines and mining. The collection also includes letters and documents dealing with the political affairs in Great Britain, 1765-1785, including Shropshire elections and politics, electioneering in general, and the American Revolution. In addition there is material that covers The East India Company, the Pulteney Bridge at Bath, the Birmingham Canal, road conditions in Scotland, liquor smuggling, Tobago under Governor George Ferguson and the organization of local militias (1800-1810). Note William Pulteney papers mssPU 1-2087 2 Cataloger's Notes 1.Thomas W. Newton sorted and arranged a portion of the William Pulteney Papers, as noted in his letter to Frederick Ouvry, July 29, 1880 (PU 2087). In the process of arranging the material, Newton numbered each item in red ink; these numbers were not used by the Huntington cataloger, nor were they noted on the folders or in the finding aid. 2. The Huntington Library cataloger was not always consistent when writing some names on folders. In creating the finding aid, it was decided to use one form of a name consistently throughout the finding aid for purposes of searching and research.

One of the points of difference between the bearings of the Royal and Parliamentary Burghs on the one hand and those of the I Police Burghs on the other lies in the fact that the former carry castles and ships to an extent which becomes almost monotonous, while among the latter these bearings are rare. On the other hand, the Police Burghs very frequently assume a charge of which A 079 2 Aberchirder. examples, in the blazonry of the Royal and Parliamentary Burghs, are very rare : this is the cross, derived apparently from the fact that their market-crosses are the most prominent of their ancient monuments.

  • SIR THOMAS COCHRANE Papers, 1840-49 Reels M948-70
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT SIR THOMAS COCHRANE Papers, 1840-49 Reels M948-70 National Library of Scotland George IV Bridge Edinburgh EH1 1EW National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1976 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Sir Thomas John Cochrane (1789-1872), who was born in Edinburgh, was the son of Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane (1758-1832) and his wife Maria. He entered the Royal Navy in 1796 as a volunteer on HMS Thetis, commanded by his father. He was made a lieutenant in 1805 and became a captain within a year. He served in the West Indies in 1807-9, taking part in the capture of the Virgin Islands and Martinique, and in North America in 1811-14. From 1820 to 1824 he commanded HMS Forte on the North America Station. In 1825 Cochrane was appointed the first governor of Newfoundland. After representative government was introduced in 1832, his relations with the colonists worsened and he was eventually recalled by the Colonial Office in 1834. He was a member of the House of Commons from 1839 to 1841. Cochrane was made a rear-admiral in 1841 and in 1842 he was appointed second in command of the East Indies Station. Based in Hong Kong, which had become a British colony following the 1839-40 Opium War, the East Indies Station extended from the Red Sea in the west to the Philippines and New Zealand in the east. When Admiral Sir William Parker returned to England in 1844, Cochrane succeeded him as commander-in-chief. At the same time, the Station was divided into two divisions, with the western (Indian Ocean) division headed by Commodore Sir Henry Blackwood and the China division headed by Cochrane.

  • Alexander Cochrane
    THE COCHRANES OF RENFREWSHIRE, SCOTLAND THE ANCESTRY OF ALEXANDER COCHRANE OF BILLERICA AND MALDEN, MASS., U.S. A. BY WALTER KENDALL WATKINS PRIVATELY PRINTED BOSTON, U.S. A. 1904 The Bartlett Press, 27 Beach Street, Boston. ALEXANDER COCHRANE. :813-1865. LOW BURGH CHURCH. PAISLEY. INTERIOR OF NEILSTON CHURCH. THE COCHRANES OF RENFREWSHIRE. The family name of Cochrane, in early times, is to be found almost exclusively in Renfrewshire and the bordering counties. This is ac­ counted for in the derivation of the name. Like other Scottish fami lies it is a place name, the family deriving it from the barony of Cochran. Crawford states, in his description of the shire of Renfrew, that the name is of great antiquity in this shire. The most prominent of the name at an early period was Waldevus de Cochran, whose son William was one of the Scotch barons who swore fealty to Edward I. of England in 1296. John de Cochran was of prominence in Robert Bruce's time, and from him were descended the Cochranes of Bar­ bachly, located in the parish of Bathgate, where we still find the farm and mill of Barbauchlaw. The lands of the ancient barony of Cochrane were across the Black Cart Water, opposite Johnstone, and were held by the Cochranes till sold by Thomas, eighth Earl Dundonald, to James Milliken, Esq., of Milliken, whose daughter Jean married Col. William Na pier of Cul­ creuch, into whose family the lands then came. A century ago part of the old manor house was still standing, and one of the old vaults was used as a cart house.
