Topic: Charlotte Murray, 8th Baroness Strange


  
 Isle Of Man - LoveToKnow 1911
James died in 1736 and the sovereignty of the isle passed to James Murray, 2nd duke of Atholl.
In 1764 he was succeeded by his only surviving child Charlotte, Baroness Strange, and her husband, John Murray, who, in right of his wife, became Lord of Man. About 1720 the contraband trade greatly increased.
In 1726 it was, for a time, somewhat checked by the interposition of parliament, but during the last ten years of the Atholl regime (1756-1765) it assumed such proportions that, in the interests of the imperial revenue, it became necessary to suppress it.

With slow, laborious touches, with delicate gradations of colour, sometimes with almost tedious minuteness and iteration, the gradual growth of a strangely composite character is presented, surrounded by the influences which controlled or moulded its development, and traced through all the varieties of its rapidly changing moods.
Captain Byron and his wife lived in Paris, where were born to them a son and a daughter, both of whom died in infancy, and Augusta, born 1783, the poet's half-sister, who subsequently married her first cousin, Colonel George Leigh.
Murray, made for Byron as a child; both are for the 'right' foot, ankle, and leg, and, assuming that they were made to fit the foot, they are too long and thin for a club-foot.

 Lovat & Strichen
A special Act of Parliament was passed in 1774 which permitted the King to grant to Major-General Simon Fraser of Lovat (1726-1782), in recognition of his military service to the Crown, subject to the payment of £20,983 Sterling; the lands, patronages, and other rights forfeited by the attainder of his father, Simon Lord Lovat (c1668-1747).
Mackenzie also refers to the fact that Dunballoch, Fanellan, Daltullich, Phopachy and Torbreck were not descended from Lovat, but from Drumelzier and Hales; and the strange anomaly that Foyers and Relig, descended from natural sons, were included in the succession.
