Isabel, 3rd da. of Robert (Ker) 1st Earl of Roxburgh [S.] by his 1st wife, Margaret, da. of Sir William, Maitland. Being in command in the Scotch forces sent to assist the Pari, against the King, he was wounded at the battle of Marston Moor on the 2nd and d. of his wounds 23 July" 1644. III. 1644, 3. John (Scrimgeour), Viscount Dudhope and Lord to ScRlMQEODit [S.], 6th s. and h., served heir 4 Nov. 1644 ; was Col. of 1658. a troop of horse in the attempt made in 1648 to rescue King Charles I, by the Duke of Hamilton ; was with King Charles II at the battle of Worcester in 1650 ; and was taken prisoner at Angus, by the English, in Nov. 1654. At the restoration he was made P.C. and was in 1661 cr. EARL OF DUNDEE VISCOUNT OF DUDHOPE, LORD SCRIMGEOUR AND INNERKEITHING [S], but the limitations of these dignities are not known. He »»., in 1644, Anne, 2nd da. of William (Ramsay), 1st Earl of Dalhousie [S.J by his 1st wife Margaret, da. of David (Carnegie), 1st Earl of Southesk [S.J. He d. s.p., at Dudhope, 23 June 1668, since which time all his honours, if not extinct, have remained dormant ( a ). His widow m., 13 Oct. 1670, Sir Henry Bruce, of Clackmannan ( b ). (») The issue male of the grantee was doubtless extiuct. The Earl's only br., Captain Scrimgeour, had d. unm. some seven years before, being killed, " by way of duell," in London, Aug. 1661 by the Lord Cranstoun. The collateral heir male appears to have been excluded by the all powerful Duke of Lauderdale, who, on the death of the Earl " obtained from the Crown a gift of ultimus liceres and of recognition of his estate in favour of his brother, Charles Maitland," tho' " agreeably to the settle- ments of the estates, 1541 and 1587, they should have devolved on the family of [Scrimgeour of] Kirkton." See Wood's "Douglas," vol. i, p. 466, where also an account of this family of Scrimgeour is given. Tho', probably, the Earldom of Dundee is extinct, the Viscountcy of Dudhope appears to be vested in the heir male, who most likely is existing. ( b ) According to some accounts the celebrated John Graham of Claverhouse, who in 1688 was cr. Viscount Dundee [S.]. was two years previously, vi:., in 16S6, ci: LORD DUDHOPE [S.], but no such creation seems capable of proof, or even probable.
