ROBERT CUNNINGHAM was an officer of reputation in the Scots brigade in the service of Holland, and was wounded at the battle of St. Denis, in 1678. Proceeding to Scotland, he became a warm advocate for the principles of the Revolution of 1688, and having performed faithful services in that cause, he was rewarded with the colonelcy of a regiment of foot formed during the winter of 1689-90. When the clans tendered their submission to King William's government, Colonel Cunningham's regiment was disbanded, and he obtained the command of a corps of dragoons, now the SEVENTH HUSSARS. He served with his regiment, under King William, in the Netherlands, during the campaigns of 1694, 1695, and 1696, and in the summer of the last-mentioned year he commanded a brigade of dragoons in Flanders. At the close of the campaign he was succeeded in the colonelcy by Lord Jedburgh. WILLIAM, LORD JEDBURGH. _Appointed 1st October, 1696._ The Honorable WILLIAM KERR, son of Robert, fourth Earl and first Marquis of Lothian, steadily supported the principles of the Revolution, and rose to the rank of colonel in the army on the 1st of March, 1692. He succeeded, in the same year, to the title of LORD JEDBURGH; and on the 1st of October, 1696, King William appointed him to the colonelcy of a regiment of dragoons, now the SEVENTH HUSSARS. In 1702, Queen Anne promoted him to the rank of brigadier-general. On the decease of his father, in 1703, he succeeded to the title of MARQUIS OF LOTHIAN[8]. The rank of major-general was conferred on his lordship in 1704; in the succeeding year he was invested with the order of the Thistle; and in January, 1707, he obtained the rank of lieut.-general. On the 25th of April following he obtained the colonelcy of the third foot guards, from which he was removed in 1713, in consequence of his political views not being in accordance with those of Queen Anne's new ministry. After the accession of King George I., his lordship was appointed to the staff of North Britain. He died in 1722. PATRICK, LORD POLWARTH. _Appointed 28th April, 1707._ This officer was the son of Sir Patrick Hume, of Polwarth, who was one of the most conspicuous and vigorous characters of the age in which he lived, was a strenuous opposer of the proceedings of King Charles II. in Scotland, and was created, by King William, Lord Polwarth, and Earl of Marchmont. PATRICK HUME was educated in Holland, and the Prince of Orange gave him a commission in the Dutch service. He accompanied His Highness to England at the Revolution, and when his father was elevated to the dignity of Earl of Marchmont, he was styled LORD POLWARTH. He was appointed major of a regiment of dragoons, now SEVENTH HUSSARS, in 1694; lieut.-colonel in 1697, and colonel in 1707. He died in 1709.
