Facts and Events
Mary Mackenzie
- Mary, married firstly John Caryll, a Jacobite, 15 July 1712, son of John Caryll of Ladyholt, Sussex. Her husband died 6 April, 1718 and she married secondly, Francis Sempill, another Jacobite. Francis wasthe son of Lord Robert Sempill, who was created a (Jacobite) peer of Scotland by James VIII & III sometime after 1723 and he died in1737. It therefore appears that Mary's husband may have been no less a person than the same Sempill, who according to Murray of Broughton, Secretary to Bonnie Prince Charlie, "was charged with the King's affairs at the French Court." This Sempill was in constant communication with King James, and lived in Paris. There are many letters preserved among the Stuart Papers at Windsor written by him to King James VII and to the King's secretary, Edgar. A number of these letters are published in Browne's, History of the Highlands. Francis Sempill died in 1748. Mary died 3 April 1740.
