Marriage Notes:
"Anna (Duff), 1748-1776 ; married her second cousin, Patrick Duff, ' Tiger' " (page 457)
"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.
