"And then, in 1798, Thomas himself remarried, in Scotland, to a much younger woman \'96 the thirty-three year old Isabella Fraser, daughter of James Fraser of Belladrum and sister of three of the leading planters in Guyana. Again there was one child, a daughter Hannah.
In 1798 Thomas attended a meeting in Inverness to found the Northern Infirmary [ Sun (London, England), Tuesday, October 16, 1798; Issue 1892] and in the same year he bought Innes House Elgin, from where he wrote a number of letters as his financial affairs worsened [NAS GD23].
