Lord George Lennox
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
General Lord George Henry Lennox (November 29, 1737 – March 25, 1805) was the second son of Charles Lennox, 2nd Duke of Richmond, and was thus descended from King Charles II of England. He was a brother of the famous Lennox sisters.
Lord George Lennox married Lady Louisa Kerr in 1759, and they had four children:
- Maria Louisa Lennox (d. July 1843)
- Emily Charlotte Lennox (d. 19 October 1832), married Adm. Hon. Sir George Cranfield Berkeley and had issue
- Charles Lennox, 4th Duke of Richmond (1764–1819)
- Lady Georgina Lennox (6 December 1765 – 20 January 1841), married Henry Bathurst, 3rd Earl Bathurst
On December 29, 1762, he was appointed colonel of the King's Own Scottish Borderers, whom he commanded until his death. On February 16, 1784, he was appointed Constable of the Tower of London.
Despite the Hanoverian side taken by his father, George made an arranged marriage for his own son Charles with the heiress of Clan Gordon, a notable Jacobite family.
