Personal Info
He was was generally called Earl of Nithsdale after his father's death. A disposition to him by his father of his lands and dignities, dated 28 November 1712, was pronounced valid by the House of Lords 21 January 1723, only his father's liferent (reserved in the deed) being forfeited by his attainder. A Grown charter confirmed, 12 February 1741, this disposition (except as regards the dignities) in his favour as son of William, formerly Earl of Nithsdale. It was probably at this time that he gained possession of the estates, his father's life-interest having been bought 'from the Government on his behoof.' No ill consequences followed some attentions paid by him and his wife to Prince Charles Edward in 1745.8
