Notes for Thomas Henry Graham
J.P. and D.L., High Sheriff 1824, M.A. Trinity Coll. Camb., F.S.A. Died d.s.p. (without children) and was succeeded by his nephew, the eldest son of his brother, John. He had no children with Mary.
A plaque in Hayton church [12] is so sickly sweet that I think he must have given them a lot of money. Devoted to the service of God, self-denying and unwearying efforts for the spiritual welfare of the young, etc etc.
On a different plaque in Hayton church [12] it says how he built and endowed Talkin Church and Hayton schools and built the chancel of the church. No wonder they gave him a lovely plaque. It also mentions how his wife was the aunt of the 9th Earl of Southesk. Oh dear, as if the fact that she was aunt to some Earl was the most important thing about her, while her husband gets lauded to the skies. Bloody hell.
On an external wall of Edmond Castle (which I photographed in 2005) there is a coat-of-arms below the inscription TH 1829 MG(C?). I reproduce the photograph in my article on the Grahams of Edmond Castle and discuss it more there. It presumably commemorates the marriage of Thomas and Mary (one side of the coat-of-arms is the Carnegie eagle), but is a strange version of the Graham coat. I don’t understand why. On the plaque in MMC [12] appears just the Graham three scallops, but with the tower as crest and the motto N’Oublie. Yet another version of his arms. I don’t get it.

Notes for Mary (Spouse 1)
Eighth daughter of Sir David Carnegie, 4th Bt., grandfather of sir James Carnegie, 6th Bt. and 9th Earl of Southesk. See what I mean about all the details, when a title is involved. Yukkity doo da.
Sir David Carnegie (E001, by D003) was born about 1754, the fourth Baronet and seventh Earl of Southesk. He succeeded his father at age twelve. David was educated at Eton, St. Andrews, and Christ Church, Oxford, where he was distinguished for his literary attainments.
The trustees paid off all his father's debts, and the estates were conveyed to him free of burdens. He purchased the lands of Arnhjall and Leuchars, but later sold these. He rebuilt Kinnaird in 1791 and 1792.
In 1784 David was elected Member of Parliament for the Montrose Burghs; in 1796 he was elected for the county of Forfar, which he represented until his death.
David married Agnes Murray Elliot on a contract dated 29 Apr 1783 at Edinburgh. Agnes was 16 Dec 1763 in Edinburgh, the daughter of Andrew Elliot of Greenwells and Elizabeth Plumstead. Agnes died 9 June 1860 at Leamington.
David died 25 May 1805 in London; he was buried in the Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields.
