FOOTNOTES:
[6] This nobleman was John (sixth) Earl of Mar, the son of Charles
(fifth) Earl of Mar, who raised the TWENTY-FIRST regiment, and was
the first colonel of that regiment. On his decease, on the 23rd of
April, 1689, his son John became Earl of Mar, and was honored with
several appointments by Queen Anne. Upon the arrival of King George
I., he was informed that his services were no longer required
as Third Secretary of State, and he retired to his estates in
Scotland where he raised a rebellion, and proclaimed the Pretender
at Kirk-Michael, in Perthshire, on the 11th of September, 1715.
After the defeat of the rebels at Sheriff-muir, he escaped from
Scotland, and in 1716, was attainted of high treason. He followed
the Pretender to Rome, and remained in his service until 1721, when
he removed to Paris where he remained until 1729. From Paris he
retired to Aix-la-Chapelle, where he died, in May, 1732. His son,
Thomas, Lord Erskine, enjoyed his father's forfeited estates, which
were conveyed to him in 1739 by his uncle, Mr. Erskine of Grange,
who bought them of the Commissioners for the benefit of his nephew.

Germany, between 1742 and 1748, during the "_War of the Austrian
Succession_," is given in page 64.
