Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox officeholder George Hay, 7th Marquess of Tweeddale DL (1753 – 9 August 1804) was a Scottish peer and naval officer.

Early life

Hay was born at Newhall in East Lothian, Scotland. He was the son of John Hay (d. 1765) and Dorothy (Шаблон:Nee Hayhurst) Hay (d. 1808). His siblings included William Hay (who married Lady Catherine Hay, a daughter of the 4th Marquess of Tweeddale), Edward Hay-Mackenzie of Newhall (who married Hon. Maria Murray-Mackenzie, a daughter of the 6th Lord Elibank), Dorothea Hay (who married James Hay), and Margaret Hay (who married Allan Macdougall of Gallanach).[1]

His maternal grandfather was John Hayhurst, a labourer who lived at Quernmore, Lancaster.[1] His paternal grandparents were Brig.-Gen. Lord William Hay, of Newham and Margaret Hay (daughter of John Hay of Linplum and granddaughter of Sir James Hay, 1st Baronet). He was a great-grandson of John Hay, 2nd Marquess of Tweeddale and the former Lady Mary Maitland (a daughter of John Maitland, 1st Duke of Lauderdale).[2]

Career

Hay served as an officer in the East India Company's Bombay Marine.[1]

In 1787 he inherited the titles of his first cousin once-removed, the 6th Marquess.[2] He then became a Burgess of Edinburgh a year later, Lord Lieutenant of Haddingtonshire in 1794, and a Scottish representative peer in 1796.[1]

Personal life

On 18 April 1785, he married Lady Hannah Maitland, a daughter of James Maitland, 7th Earl of Lauderdale and the former Mary Turner Lombe (daughter and co-heiress of Sir Thomas Lombe, Alderman and Sheriff of London). Together, George and Hannah were the parents of eleven children, including:[3]

As a result of the marquess's declining health, he and his wife went to travel the Continent in 1802, starting in France. It was here that they were captured by Napoleon's police a year later, with other British subjects, when war was renewed between the two countries. They were then imprisoned in the fortress at Verdun and the marchioness died there on 8 May 1804, as did the marquess during the following August on 9 August 1804.[5]
