THE DYSART PEERAGE
The various books of reference dealing with this peerage do not agree in their
arrangement of the successive Earls.
In the following pages the method adopted is that of G. E. C. in “ The Complete
Peerage,” Elizabeth, Countess of Dysart, and Louisa, Countess of Dysart, being
reckoned as the second and seventh Earls respectively.
The succession accordingly runs thus:
1. William Murray. First Earl.
2. Elizabeth, Countess in her own right. Second Earl. She married, first, Sir
Lionel Tollemache, second, the Duke of Lauderdale.
3. Lionel (who married Grace Wilbraham). Third Earl.
4. Lionel (who married Grace Carteret). Fourth Earl.
5. Lionel (who married, first, Charlotte Walpole, second, Magdalen Lewis). Fifth
Earl.
6. Wilbraham (who married Anna Maria Lewis). Sixth Earl.
7. Louisa, sister of Wilbraham, Countess in her own right (married John Manners).
Seventh Earl.
8. Lionel (who married Maria Toone). Eighth Earl.
9. William, present and ninth Earl.
Inasmuch as the author, in some portions of these volumes, referred to other
peerages, the following corrections should be made:
Page 36, line 27, for Third Earl read Fourth Earl.
Page 37, line 7, for Third Earl read Fourth Earl.
Page 39, line 3, for Second Earl read Third Earl.
Page 89, line 2 from foot,/^z Fourth Earl, read Fifth Earl.
Page 103, line \,for Third Earl read Fourth Earl.
Page 115, line 2,for Third Earl read Fourth Earl.
