| He is described in his father's Admon. as Lord Sempill, eldest son and heir, was an active Jacobite 1740-45. He was known to be an agent of the Chevalier de St. George, and by most people suspected to be a pensioner of the court of France. He resided in Paris, and Prince Charles lodged with him in January 1744. He was afterwards distrusted, and Charles, in March 1745, writing to his father, warned him not to trust anything he said. He died 9 December 1748, and was buried at St. Andrew's, Chartres, in France. He was possibly the Francis Sempill who married Mary, widow of John Caryll, daughter of Kenneth Mackenzie, fourth Earl of Seaforth. She was buried at Harting, co. Sussex, 16 April 1740.4 | ||
