Buried at Kensal Green cemetery. In the book "Journal of a residence in Chile" edited by Jennifer Hayward, there is mention of Maria (christened Mary) being taken by her father out a school in Northern England in 1793 to a school in the South. The passage reads as follows; "With no warning her father returned from a trip in March 1793 and took his daughter from her home in the uncultured and savage North of Britain to a school in the cultured and genteel South. This transfer of place was also a transfer of class: she left her mother's simple modest home to live with her father's much more aristocratic family. She was eight years old and never saw her mother again." There are many records of letters on the Internet from her father's brother David Dundas in which he repeatedly mentions his distaste with his brother for marrying below his class. Maria Dundas stayed with the Dundas family in Richmond and later with James Dundas in Scotland. She mentions in her memoirs that the Dundas family in Richmond despised her. In 1808 she sailed to India with her father despite not having seen him for 10 years. maria iii.Agnes Dundas born 7/1/1789 in the Isle of Man married 7/7/1815 at Lewisham Rev Robert Jones his Majesty's senior chaplain at the Cape of Good Hope.
