ROXBURGHE
The present members of this family bear the surname
Innes-Ker. The children of the Dukes of Roxburghe enjoy the prefix Lord/Lady
before their Christian names.
Part 1
William Ker, of Cessford (d.Feb 1600), m.ca 1564 Janet Tweedie, née
1a) Robert, cr 1600 Lord Roxburghe, cr 1616 Earl of
Roxburghe and Lord Ker of Cessford and Caverton (ca 1570-18 Jan 1650); resigned titles 1643 and
received new grant of them, with remainder to his nominated heirs; because of
his nominations and various stipulations he made, the titles devolved as below;
m.1st Newbottle 5 Dec 1587 Margaret
Maitland; m.2nd Somerset House 3 Feb 1614 Jean Drummond (d.7 Oct
1643); m.3rd Lady Isobel Douglas (d.16 Dec 1672)
[Note: the nominations made pursuant to the regrant provided for descent of the titles, including the
later Ducal title, in the following order:
1)
to his grandson
William Drummond and his issue male, so long as William married his cousin Jean
Ker; such issue male of William Drummond expired in 1805 with the death of the
4th Duke
2)
to the younger sons,
and their issue male, of William Drummond’s sister, the Countess of
Wigtown, again so long as such son would marry Jean Ker [this proviso
presumably applied only if William Drummond did not marry her]; the Wigtown
heirs male were extinct by 1747
3)
to the issue male of
the daughters of Harry, Lord Ker; as of 1805, the 5th Duke of
Roxburghe seems to have been the only issue male of the daughters of Harry,
Lord Ker; his issue male is extant and currently in possession of the titles;
4)
and finally to the
heirs male of the 1st Earl of Roxburghe; the first in line as of the
1660s were the Kers of Fawdonside,
descended from a brother of the great-grandfather of the 1st Earl;
it seems unknown whether issue male in this line survived after the 1600s; if
that line is extinct, then the next heirs male would succeed]
