  4. 13.  Margaret Douglas Descendancy chart to this point (3.Susan2, 1.John1) was born in 1694; died in 1784.

    Notes:

    Variously described as the '5th daughter' and the 'only daughter'.

    As a widow and single mother, Margaret Douglas lived near her family of
    established landowning farmers and she had the emotional and advisory
    support of a circle of powerful local dignitaries, whom her prudent
    husband had arranged to act as his unborn son's guardians. Their backgrounds indicate the patronage available to baby Adam if he survived
    (child mortality at the time was horrendous).
    His father, in addition to the provision he made for his 13-year-old son and heir, Hugh Smith, also made provision for 'any child or children of my present marriage'.
    Among his guardians were James Oswald, former Kirkcaldy MP in both the Scottish and the UK parliaments, and five members of his parents'
    families.

    By all accounts Margaret Smith was an overly indulgent and loving
    mother of her sickly son. And she forged deep bonds with
    him that lasted for 61 of his 67 years until she died in his house in
    Edinburgh in 1784.

    Margaret married Adam Smith in 1702. Adam was born before 1703; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    Adam Smith (baptised 16 June 1723 ? 17 July 1790 [OS: 5 June 1723 ? 17 July 1790]) was a Scottish moral philosopher and a pioneer of political economy. One of the key figures of the Scottish Enlightenment, Smith is the author of The Theory of Moral Sentiments and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. The latter, usually abbreviated as The Wealth of Nations, is considered his magnum opus and the first modern work of economics. Adam Smith is widely cited as the father of modern economics.

    Smith studied moral philosophy at the University of Glasgow and Oxford University. After graduating he delivered a successful series of public lectures at Edinburgh, leading him to collaborate with David Hume during the Scottish Enlightenment. Smith obtained a professorship at Glasgow teaching moral philosophy, and during this time wrote and published The Theory of Moral Sentiments. In his later life he took a tutoring position which allowed him to travel throughout Europe where he met other intellectual leaders of his day. Smith returned home and spent the next ten years writing The Wealth of Nations (mainly from his lecture notes) which was published in 1776. He died in 1790.
