When and where did he die? 2. Any particulars regarding his history? 3. When and why was Lochwood, the family residence, abandoned? 4. How many marquisses were there, and were any of them men of any note in their day and generation? ANNANDALE. [The first marquis was William Johnstone, third Earl of Annandale and Hartfell, who was advanced 4th June, 1701, to the Marquisate of Annandale. He died at Bath, 14th January, 1721, and was succeeded by his son James, who died 21st February, 1730. George, his half-brother, born 29th May, 1720, was the third and last Marquis of Annandale. An inquest from the Court of Chancery, 5th March, 1748, found this marquis a lunatic, and incapable of governing himself and his estate, and that he had been so from the 12th December, 1744. He died at Turnham Green on the 29th April, 1792, in the seventy-second year of his age, and was buried at Chiswick, 7th May following. (_Gent. Mag._, May, 1792, p. 481.) Since his decease the honours of the house of Annandale have remained dormant, although they have been claimed by several branches of the family. (Burke's _Extinct Peerages_.) Before the union of the two crowns the Johnstones were frequently wardens of the west borders, and were held in enthusiastic admiration for their exploits against the English, the Douglasses, and other borderers. During the wars between the two nations, they effectually suppressed the plunderers on the borders; hence their device, a winged spur, and their motto, "Alight thieves all," to denote their authority in commanding them to surrender. Lochwood, the ancient seat of the Marquisses of Annandale, was inhabited till 1724, three years after the death of the first marquis, when it was finally abandoned by the family, and suffered gradually to fall into decay. In _The New Statistical Account of Scotland_, vol. iv. p. 112., we read "that the principal estate in the parish of Moffat has descended to Mr. Hope Johnstone of Annandale, to whom it is believed the titles also, in so far as claimed, of right belong, and whose restoration to the dormant honours of the family would afford universal satisfaction in this part of Scotland; because it is the general feeling that he has a right to them, and that in his family they would not only be supported, but graced." Some farther particulars of the three marquisses will be found in Douglass' _Peerage of Scotland_ (by Wood), vol. i. p. 75., and in _The Scots Compendium_, edit. 1764, p. 151.]
