John Douglas-Hamilton, 3rd Earl of Selkirk,
1st Earl of Ruglen
John (3rd Earl of Selkirk) Douglas-Hamilton was
born 1665, and died 3 DEC 1744. He married Anne (of Cassillis) Kennedy BEF. 26
JUN 1694, daughter of John (7th Earl of Cassillis) Kennedy and Susan (of
Hamilton) Hamilton. He married Elizabeth (of Owthorpe) Hutchinson 1701, daughter
of Charles (of Owthorpe MP) Hutchinson.
John who already held the title of
Earl of Ruglen, saw his only son predecease him and so on his
own death the title of Selkirk went to a Dunbar Hamilton, the
grandson of Basil Hamilton a younger brother of the 2nd and 3rd
Earls. (The title of Ruglen, governed by completely different rules
passed to John's daughter Anne Hamilton and thus pursued a separate
history.)
