434 THE WILL OF CHARLOTTE STUART
Chevalier Wogan, he liberated from her ‘ custody ’ at Inns¬
bruck, and who, in gratitude, gave her name to one of his
younger daughters.
Clementina Walkinshaw seems to have been under eighteen
when her father died in London in March 1731. Her name
does not appear in his testament-dative,1 but she was served
one of his heirs-portioners on 23rd July 1731. Her father
undertook in his marriage-contract (25th July 1703) to
maintain his daughters ‘ in Bed, Board, and all other
necessaries, and educate them at Schools virtue and learning
sufficiently according to their degrees and Quality.’ He left
considerable property, and among his pictures his Jacobite
leanings were shown by ‘ Item, Princess Lowiza’s picture,’ and
‘ Item, Generali Dalyell’s picture.’ Although well provided for,
it must have been difficult for his widow, Lady Barrowfield,
to maintain her large family. She died at Edinburgh, aged
ninety-seven, November 25th, 1780.2 Her daughters Anne,
Helen, and Jean I have found few notices of. Of her other
daughters, Barbara died unmarried at Edinburgh, 26th April
1780 ; Elizabeth died there 27th February 1787 ; Lyonella,
widow of her cousin, Captain William Walkinshaw, died
issueless, 4th October 1787 ; Mary, widow of James Campbell
of Blytheswood, died childless, 24th September 1771.
Margaret married her cousin, James Walkinshaw of that ilk,
and dying at Edinburgh, 17th August 1782, left issue.
There were only two more, Catherine and Clementina.
Catherine Walkinshaw, by some curious turn of fate,
entered the household of the Princess-Dowager of Wales.
She was one of her bedchamber-women, and is later styled
housekeeper at Leicester House. Lady Louisa Stuart3 writes
of her as ‘ a genuine old wife,’ and as ‘ the adviser of every
Scotch family, the protectress of every raw young Scotchman.’
