171 sj LAST SETON OF BARNES. 157
Bv his wife Susan, a great beauty in her day, daughter of
James Moray of Abercairney, in the County of Perth, and of
Lady Christian Montgomerie, daughter of the ninth Earl of
Eglinton, he had, with other children who died young or un-
married, a son James, of whom hereafter. The Governor
of St. Vincent died in London at an advanced age and very
much respected.
VII. James Seton (2). He was a lieutenant-colonel in
the army. Married Margaret, only daughter of the Rev.
John Findlater, and had among other children Catharine,
born 23d May, 1818. She married John Coventry, Esq.,
of Burgate House, Hants, formerly Rector of Tywardteath
and great-grandson of the sixth Earl of Coventry. They
have eleven children, of whom two daughters, nuns in Edin-
burgh, and John, the eldest son and heir, born 19th February,
1846, who married, in 1876, Emily Mary, daughter of
Joseph Weld, Esq., of Lymington, Hants, of the old Catholic
family of the Welds of Luhvorth, by whom he has two sons
and five daughters. One of the sons, Bernard Seton Coven-
try, born in 1887, represents in the latest generation the
family of Barnes, and consequently the old Earls of Dun-
fermline — said, however, with reservation of the claim of my
nearer kinsman descended from Andrew and Margaret Seton,
as will appear farther on. I have seen at Burgate House
many portraits and memorials of the Seton family.
Colonel Seton, of Brookheath, Hants, died in 1831.
