Lieutenant-General Robert Alexander Dalzell, 6th Earl of Carnwath (13 February 1768 – 1 January 1839), was a Scottish nobleman and soldier.[1]
Family[edit]
Carnwath was the son of Robert Dalzell (1738−1788) (himself the son of Robert Dalzell, 5th Earl of Carnwath) and Elizabeth Acklom. He was married three times.[2] He married, firstly, Jane Parkes, daughter of Samuel Parkes, on 23 September 1789. They had one daughter, Elizabeth Dalzell (1790−1801). He married, secondly, Andalusia Browne, daughter of Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur Browne, on 26 April 1794. They had the following children together:
- Lady Emma Maria Dalzell (died 25 December 1882)
- Lady Eleanor Jane Elizabeth Dalzell (died 4 May 1835)
- Lady Charlotte Augusta Dalzell (died 27 December 1844)
- Robert Arthur Dalzell (1 May 1796 - 30 December 1799)
- Thomas Henry Dalzell, 7th Earl of Carnwath (2 September 1797 − 14 December 1867)
- General Arthur Alexander Dalzell, 9th Earl of Carnwath (15 September 1799 − 28 April 1875)
- Colonel Harry Burrard Dalzell, 10th Earl of Carnwath (11 November 1804 − 1 November 1887)
- Colonel Robert Alexander George Dalzell (19 August 1816 − 19 October 1878) (himself the father of the eleventh and thirteenth Earls of Carnwath)
Carnwath married finally, Jane Morrison née Carnell, daughter of John Carnell, on 11 October 1838.
Titles[edit]
The titles of Earl of Carnwath, Lord Dalzell and Liberton and the Dalzell baronetcy of Glenae had been forfeited by a Writ of Attainder for treason for the fifth Earl's support of the Jacobite cause in an unsuccessful rebellion in 1715 known as the Fifteen or Lord Mar's Revolt. Lieutenant-General Dalzell was to have the attainder reversed by Act of Parliament on 26 May 1826, thereby having his grandfather's titles restored to him.[3]
Carnwath died on 1 January 1839 aged 70, and was succeeded in his titles by his son, Thomas Dalzell.
