On 6 Aug., 1686, he was created by James II. Earl of Dunmore,
Viscount Fincastle, and Lord Murray of Clair, Moulie, and Tillemot;
at the Revolution he was deprived of all his offices.
After the accession of Queen Anne, Dunmore was sworn a privy
councillor 4 Feb., 1703, and in the parliament of 21 May his patent
was read and ordered to be recorded, whereupon he took his seat.
In 1704 Dunmore was appointed one of a committee of parliament
for examining the public accounts, and in September, 1705, his
services were rewarded by a gratuity. He gave constant support
to the Union with England. In 1707 he was appointed governor of
Blackness Castle. He died in 1710. By his wife Catherine, daughter
of Richard Watts, of Hereford, Dunmore had six sons and three
daughters:--James, viscount of Fincastle, who died unmarried in
1706; John, third earl of Dunmore; William, third earl; Robert,
brigadier-general; Thomas, lieutenant-general; Charles; Henriet,
married to Patrick, third Lord Kinnaird; Anne, to John, fourth earl
of Dundonald; and Catherine, to her cousin John, third Lord Nairn.
The second son, John, second earl of Dunmore, who had a somewhat
distinguished career as a soldier, and fought at Blenheim as
ensign, 13 Aug., 1704, and as lieutenant-general under the Earl of
Stair at Dettingen, in June, 1743; was on 22 June, 1745, appointed
governor of Plymouth, and raised to the rank of full general.
William, the third son, who became third earl of Dunmore on the
death of his brother in 1752, had been concerned in the rebellion
of 1745, and sent a prisoner to London, but pleading guilty,
received a pardon.

betrayed. Gaelic songs and laments composed by him, are to this day
well known in the Highlands."
