But as there is lately come to our hands, a more exact account of the succession to the peerage of For∣rester, than we had when the history of that family was printed off, we here insert it as follows, viz.

Page 272. of the Peerage, after line 30. read,

VIII. GEORGE, first lord Forrester, (the eighth generation of that family) married Christian, daugh∣ter to Sir William Livingston of Kilsyth, by whom he had five daughters.

1. Helen, married to William lord Ross.

2. Margaret, married to John Schaw of Sorn∣beg.

3.—, married to—Hamilton of Grange.

4. Jean Forrester, married to James, eldest son of lieutenant-general William Baillie of Torwood-head.

5. Lilias Forrester, married to William, second son of the said lieutenant-general William Baillie, who carried on the line of this family, as will be shown hereafter.

On occasion of these two last marriages, this George, lord Forrester, having no male-issue, he, and the said lieutenant-general William Baillie, made a joint settlement of their respective estates of Corstorphine, &c. and Torwood-head, &c. in favours of the said James Baillie, and the issue-male of his marriage with the said Jean Forrester;

"which failing, to the said William Baillie, and the issue∣male of his marriage with the said Lilias Forre∣ster; which failing, to their respective heirs whatsomever, or heirs-general, &c. &c."

In consequence of this settlement, the said George, lord Forrester, made a resignation of his peerage in∣to the king's hands; upon which he obtained a new patent, exactly in terms of the above settlement, in these words, viz.

"in favorem dicti Jacobi Baillie, et haeredum de dicto matrimonio procreand. inter illum & praefatam Joannam Forrester; qui∣bus desicien. in favorem dicti Willielmi Baillie, & haeredum indicto contractumatrimoniali expressorum, &c. &c. reservato, dicto domino Georgio, suo vitali redditu ejusdem, pro toto sue vite tempore, &c. &c."

the said James being therein designed master of Forrester; and he and his successors are obliged to carry the name and arms of lord Forrester, &c. This patent is dated 13th August 1650, and do∣cumented by a charter in the public register, and records of parliament.

George lord Forrester dying soon thereafter, was accordingly succeeded by his son-in-law,

IX. JAMES BAILLIE, who having, in terms of the patent, assumed the name and arms of this family, was second lord Forrester.

After the death of the said Jean Forrester his first wife, he married, 2dly, lady Jean Ruthven, daughter of Patrick earl of Forth and Brentford; but dying without issue by either, the estate and honours, according to the last-mentioned patent, devolved upon his brother and heir,

IX. WILLIAM, third lord Forrester, who, by the said Lilias, daughter of the first lord, left issue a son and successor,

X. WILLIAM, fourth lord Forrester, grandson of the first lord, who married a daughter of Sir Andrew Birnie of Saline, one of the senators of the college of justice, by whom he had four sons and two daughters.

1. George, his heir.

2. Andrew Forrester, who was major to the third troop of horse-guards, but died unmarried.

3. James, who was a lieutenant of a ship of war, but died also unmarried.

4. John, captain of a ship of war, who married Elizabeth Tyrrel, sister of sir Charles Tyrrel of the county of Southampton, by whom he had a son, William, who succeeded to the honours, as will be shown hereafter.

1st daughter, Lilias Forrester, married to Wil∣liam Stirling of Herbert-shire, Esq; without issue.

2. Margaret, married to Patrick Haldane, Esq; advocate, to whom she had a son, brigadier gene∣ral George Haldane, who died governor of Jamaica, and a daughter, Margaret Haldane.

This lord died anno 1705, and was succeeded by his eldest son,

XI. GEORGE, fifth lord Forrester, who having gone into the army, served some years in Flanders under the duke of Marlborough, and rose to the rank of a lieutenant-colonel.

He signalized himself in the government's service at Preston in Lancashire, anno 1715. He receiv∣ed a dangerous wound at the attack of that place, but happily recovered, and was soon thereafter ad∣vanced to be colonel of one of the troops of horse-grenadier-guards, and was afterwards made colonel of the fourth troop of horse-guards.

He married Charlotte, daughter and co-heiress of Anthony Row of the county of Oxford, Esq; by whom he had one son,

George, his heir,—and two daughters,

1. Caroline Forrester, of whom more hereafter.

2. Harriot, married to Edward Walter of Salt-bridge, Esq; member of parliament for the burgh of Milbornport, Somerset-shire, to whom she hath one daughter.

He was succeeded by his only son,

XII. GEORGE, sixth lord Forrester, who, be∣taking himself to the maritime service, was a cap∣tain in the royal navy; but dying unmarried in the year 1748, was succeeded in the peerage by his cousin-german and heir-male, William, son of his uncle John before-mentioned, to whom we now return.

XII. WILLIAM, only son of captain John For∣rester, fourth son of William the fourth lord, succeeded to the honours as above, and was seventh lord Forrester.

This William was also a lieutenant in the royal navy; but dying unmarried in November 1763, in him ended the whole male line of the saids James and William, the two brothers named in the sub∣stitution of the patent 1650, as before observed: yet the peerage does not appear to be extinct; for both the patent in 1633, and that in 1650, are to heirs-general, failing heirs-male, &c. The representation, therefore, of this noble family, un∣doubtedly devolves upon.

XII. CAROLINE FORRESTER before-mention∣ed, who is eldest daughter of George the fifth, and sister of George the sixth, lord Forrester.

She married George Cockburn of Ormiston, Esq; lately comptroller, and now one of the commis∣sioners of the royal navy.
