Notes |
- The first earl was succeeded by his son, James Stewart, second Earl of Galloway, who, in his father's lifetime, had been created a Baronet of Nova Scotia. He was a firm adherent of the Stuarts and was fined four hundred pounds by Oliver Cromwell for his attachment to the royal family. He lived to see the Restoration, and came into great favor with King Charles II. In 1642, he married Nicolas Grier, daughter of Sir Robert Grier of Grierson. He was a MP (Member of Parliament) and had two sons and four daughters.
