OBITUARY.

SIR ROBERT GRAHAM, BART. Feb. 3. At Dursley, aged 82, Sir Robert Graham, the eighth Bart. of Esk, co. Cumberland (1629).

He was born on the 1st Oct. 1769, the second son of the Rev. Sir William Graham, the sixth Baronet, by the widow of Richard French, esq. and daughter of Mr. Reeve, of Ashburnham, Sussex. He succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his elder brother, Sir Charles Graham, Nov. 26, 1795.

Some years ago he was one of the various claimants of the Earldoms of Annandale and Hartfell, as the descendant of Sir George Graham, the second Baronet, by Lady Mary Johnston, daughter of James first Earl of Hartfell, and sister to James Earl of Annandale. We believe no decision was pronounced on this claim.

Sir Robert Graham married, April 25, 1810, Elizabeth, only daughter of John Young, esq. of Battle, surgeon, by whom he had six sons and five daughters. Of the former, the three eldest died before him: 1. Robert, in 1837, aged 24; 2. William-Charles in 1836, aged 20; and 3. Richard-John, a Lieut. in the Bengal Native Infantry, in 1844, aged 27. His surviving sons are: 4. Sir Edward, his successor; 5. Stuart-Frederick; and 6. Reginald-Fergus.

The daughters are: 1. Elizabeth-Susanna, married in 1838 to Major John Henry Simmonds, of the 55th Bengal Native Infantry; 2. Euphemia-Harriet, married in 1842 to Thomas George Vernon, esq. of Tewkesbury; 3. Frances-Anne; 4. Mary-Stuart; and 5. Cecilia-Jane-Maria.

The present Baronet was born in 1820; and married first, in 1841, the widow of Charles Henderson, esq. of Oxford; and secondly, in 1844, Adelaide - Elizabeth, youngest daughter of the late James Dillon Tully, esq. M.D. deputy inspector-general of hospitals in Jamaica.

SIR WILLIAM OGLANDER, BART. Jan. 17. At Parnham, Dorsetshire, aged 82, Sir William Oglander, the sixth Bart. (1665), a Deputy Lieutenant of that county.

He was born at Parnham on the 13th Sept. 1769, the eldest son of Sir William the fifth Baronet, by Sukey, only daughter of Peter Serle, esq. of Testwood, Hants.

He succeeded his father on the 5th Jan. 1806. At the general election of 1807 he was returned to Parliament for Bodmin, for which borough he sat until Jan. 1812, when he resigned his seat. GENT. MAG. VOL. XXXVII.

He was through life a steady and consistent liberal in politics, although usually of rather a retired disposition, and of late years especially fond of quiet domestic life. At the period of the Reform Bill he came forward, both by personal activity and by the influence of his ample purse, to promote what he considered the cause of popular right and liberty. As a magistrate Sir William acted for many years, till growing infirmities induced him to relinquish the administration of justice. As a landlord, his numerous tenants acknowledge him to have been considerate, equitable, and kind, requiring a moderate rental, and indulgent to the man of energetic industry in agricultural improvement. In the exercise of benevolence towards the poor, he distributed his favours to the poor and necessitous, without regard to conscientious differences of religious profession.

He married, May 24, 1810, Lady Maria Anne FitzRoy, eldest daughter of GeorgeHenry 4th Duke of Grafton, K.G., and by her ladyship, who survives him, he had issue two sons and one daughter. His younger son, William, was an officer in the army, and died in 1835 in his 22d year. His daughter is unmarried.

The present Baronet, Sir Henry Oglander, was born in 1811, and married, in 1845, Louisa, youngest daughter of the late Sir George William Leeds, Bart.

SIR RICHARD ST. GEORGE, BART. Dec. 29. At Sunday's Well, Cork, the residence of the Rev. F. St.George, aged 86, Sir Richard Bligh St.George, the second Bart. of Woodsgift, co. Kilkenny (1766), a Deputy Lieutenant of that county.

He was born on the 5th June, 1765, the eldest son of Sir Richard St. George, the first Baronet, by Sarah, only daughter of Robert Persse, esq. of Roxborough, co. Galway and he succeeded his father in 1789.

He was one of the few survivors of the Irish Parliament, having sat as member for the borough of Athlone. He took a decided part in opposition to the Union, disdaining to receive from the government a renewal of the peerage which had been enjoyed by the elder branch of his family, (by the title of Lord St.George, of Hatley St.George, co. Leitrim,) and which had become extinct in 1775.

Sir Richard married first, Feb. 10, 1779, Harriet, daughter of the Right Hon. Mr. Justice Kelly, of Kellyville, Queen's County; and secondly in April 1807,

2 Q

to Lydia, younger daughter of the late Rev. Thomas Gisborne, of Yoxall Lodge, and widow of the Rev. Edmund Robinson, of Thorp Green, co. York. By the former lady he had issue three sons,-Sir Francis-Edward, his successor; 2. Edward-Dolman, born in 1826; and 3. William-Douglas, who died in 1845, aged

seventeen.

Bridget, eldest daughter of Theophilus Blakeney, esq. of Abbert, co. Galway. By his first lady he had three daughters: 1. Frances-Elizabeth; 2. Sarah-Salisbury, married to John Dillon, esq. of Johnstown, co. Roscommon; and 3. Harriet-Anna, married to Hugh Eccles, esq. of Kiltimon, co. Wicklow; and by the second six sons and three daughters. The former were: 1. Richard-Bligh, deceased; 2. Sir Theophilus-John, his successor; 3. Robert, who married in 1841 Sophia-Madelina-Olivia, second daughter of the Very Rev. James Mahon, Dean of Dromore, and has issue; 4. William Oliver; 5. James-Cuffe; and 6. JohnHenry, deceased. The daughters were: 1. Grace-Anne, married in 1832 to the Rev. Charles Caulfeild, Rector of Creagh; 2. Margaret, who is deceased; and 3. Theodosia Elizabeth.

His eldest son and successor, now Sir Theophilus John St. George, was born in 1810; he married first in 1836 the second daughter of Joseph Lautour, esq. of Hexton House, Herts; and secondly in 1847 the eldest daughter of John Power, esq. of Churchtown House, co. Waterford; and has issue by both marriages.

SIR EDWARD DOLMAN SCOTT, BART. Dec. 27. At Great Barr Hall, Staffordshire, aged 58, Sir Edward Dolman Scott, the second Baronet (1806), a Deputy Lieutenant of Staffordshire and Sussex.
