Marriage Notes: "George (Livingston), fourth Earl of Linlithgow, was served heir to his father 20 October 1690. After the Revolution he joined the Viscount of Dundee, on the latter's defiance of the Convention of Estates, but submitted soon afterwards, and was allowed to go home on giving his parole to live peaceably under the Government. After the battle of Killiecrankie, Lord Linlithgow made another journey north, but the death of the gallant Graham on the battlefield altered his plans, and he returned to Edinburgh, where he was confined in the castle as a prisoner for a few days, but on taking the oath of allegiance to King William he was liberated. As Earl of Linlithgow he was admitted a member of the Privy Council in 1692, and appointed one of the Commissioners of the Treasury. He died 7 August 1695. Lord Linlithgow married (contract dated at the Canongate 9 March 1679) Henrietta Sutherland, only daughter of Alexander, first Lord Duffus, by his first wife, Jean Mackenzie, but had no issue." |
