ing the Boys Who Bore His
Name.
1t was Sir Walter Scotts dearest
wish to found house which should
carry on the traditions OF his great
ancestors, who we're cadets OF the
SCOTS OF Harden, now represented
by Baron Polwarth. Scott reared
Abbotsford at enormous cost, but
there his work began and ended
His eldest son, who succeeded to the
baronetcy, survived him only Is
years aud died in 1847, unmarried,
at the Cape, and so the baronetcy
became extinct. His second son
died at far off Teheran, also I'M
married So the name Of Scott was
left to bis daughter Charlotte, Who
married Lockhart, the biographer OF
Sir Walter. Her son, Walter Scott
Lockhart, adopted the name Of
Scott, but, with all the extraordinary
fatality that had overcome his un
Giles, he, too, died unmarried at the
age OF 26, and so the estate passed
to his sister Charlotte, who married
j. r. Hope, O. O., member Of the
Hopetoun family, and he adopted
the name Scott. They had three
children, but their only son died in
childhood. and once again woman
came to rule. This was Mary
Monica.
In 1874, she married Hon. Joseph
Constable Maxwell, third son Of
Lord Herries, who, as matter Of
course, adopted the name Scott.
They have had six children, the
eldest OF whom, Walter Joseph
Maxwell. Scott, born in 1875, is in
the army. He has two brothers aud
two sisters living. Mary Josephine,
who is married, was born in 1876.
Thus it will be seen that the present
generation Of SCOTS have been in
turn Lockharts, Hopes and Max

names, with honorable histories be-
hind them, and yet, in strict
genealogical sequence, the present
generation is very far removed from
