On 26 December 1774, in a joint ceremony, he married Mary (1757–1792), the second daughter of Charles, ninth Lord Cathcart, while her eldest sister, Jane, married John Murray, fourth duke of Atholl.<br /><br /> . . Mary's health, however, continued to weaken, and the Grahams—a loving but childless couple—returned to the continent in 1790. She died of consumption at sea off Hyères on 26 June 1792, and he never ceased to mourn her. The disrespectful treatment of her body by the French revolutionary authorities—at Toulouse her coffin was broken open by drunken officials in search of contraband—embittered Graham, who became an ardent Francophobe and supporter of the war . . <br /><br />[Aftera ‘good war’] . . in May 1814 he was made Baron Lynedoch of Balgowan, in the county of Perth, with a pension of £2000 a year . . He regularly voted in the House of Lords, in person or by proxy, in support of Catholic emancipation, parliamentary reform, and other liberal legislation, . . When aged eighty-five he was offered command of the Portuguese army . . <br /><br /> . . he died at his town house, 12 Stratton Street, Piccadilly, . . At his request, his funeral was simple. A steamer carried his coffin to Dundee, whence it was taken through Perth to Methven churchyard. There he was laid to rest in the mausoleum that already contained the remains of his mother and his beloved wife.’ [DNB]rob's unclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03001074396029714388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-67164884212974277612011-03-28T04:46:43.164-04:002011-03-28T04:46:43.164-04:00Every woman's dream man :)Every woman's dream man :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16780421103763247443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-20022438662546464702011-03-28T01:07:33.546-04:002011-03-28T01:07:33.546-04:00Mr. Graham sounds like a catch!Mr. Graham sounds like a catch!Heidenkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494625457587427781noreply@blogger.com
