Lady Mary Primrose

Wife and cousin to Sir Archibald Primrose. She appealed to her cousin the Earl of Stair to intervene on her husband's behalf (NA SP 54/33/20), but the Duke of Newcastle was unable to grant the request for mercy (NA SP 54.34/19). The Scots Peerage suggests she died only two days after her husband (vol. 7, p. 222), while Cokayne's Complete Baronage gives a date of December 17, 1746 (p. 334).
