"In 1766, as a Captain, he (Patrick Duff) was a ringleader in the mutiny against Clive, and was one of those oflicers specially exempted by Clive from pardon. For setting fire to the house of a brother officer in order to compel him to join the mutiny, Patrick Duff was dismissed the service, and returned to England.
In 1769 he was reinstated in his former position (having probably made interest at home during the intervening three years), and went back to India, taking with him Patrick Duff, son of Provost Duff of Whitehill ; but on January 12, 1774, for some reason unexplained, he resigned the service and returned to Scotland. While there he married his second cousin, Anne Duff, daughter of Provost John Duff, junior. He was thirty-two and she twenty-six. She, however, died at Madras on the voyage to Calcutta, April 27, 1776, and is buried there.

from Index of Marriages
"During his sojourn at home (about 1693 as Colonel) he (Patrick Duff) married his second wife, Dorothea Hay,(1'On January 11, 1794, at Mountblairy, Colonel Patrick Dulf, of the Hon. East India Company's Artillery, to Miss Hay, eldest sister of A. Hay, Esq.' (Aberdeen Journal). sister of General Andrew Hay of Mountblairy (who was killed at the battle of Orthes 1811), - and two daughters were born to them before they went to India, where he took over the command, March 29, 1797. In April he was transferred as Major-General to the command of the Presidency division, and in December 1797 he finally returned to England. His eldest son, Patrick, was probably born during his sojourn in India 1797, or on the voyage out, as he apparently came of age before April 4, 1818, and two other sons, George and Adam, were born in 1799 and 1801, at the old house of Carnousie, Banffshire, which the General had purchased when last at home."
