General Notes:
"Dingwall (John), of Brucklay in Aberdeenshire, of Croydon in Surrey, and of St. James's Street, London, was baptized 22nd January, 1724. He was third son of William Dingwall of Brucklay and Anna Gordon his wife, who died in 1733, so that he was only nine years of age when deprived of both parents. He worked his way up perseveringly, and for many years carried on the business of a jeweller in London,
securing thereby an ample fortune, independent of the family estate to which he succeeded on the death of his elder brother in 1803. He was married but had no family. His wife's name was Patience Huddart. For the last ten years of his life which terminated on the 28th May, 1812, the widow of his cousin Mr. Alexander Dingwall with her two daughters, resided with him at Croydon, adding much to his comfort. He had a large and varied acquaintance, among whom were the well-known Jane Duchess of Gordon, General Gordon of Fyvie, Mr. James Perry of the Morning Chronicle who was a cousin (his mother having been a Miss Gordon of Nethermuir), Professor Porson, who was Mr. Perry's brother-in-law, besides other ornaments of the literary and fashionable world who were frequent visitors. He was an intelligent kind-hearted man. His personal property amounted to £250,000 stg., and was left in trust and invested in landed properly, which was settled on the same series of heirs as his estates of Brucklay and Artamford, John Dingwall the grandson of his sister Lucretia, being his immediate successor."
