Lord Forrester

Lord Forrester

The title Lord Forrester was created in the Peerage of Scotland in 1633 for Sir George Forrester, Bt who had already been created a baronet in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia in 1625. When his only son died, Forrester was given a regrant of the peerage in 1651 with special remainders:

*a) firstly to George's third daughter's husband, James Baillie and their issue in tail male.
*b) then to James' younger brother, William (also the husband of George's fourth daughter, Lilias) and their issue in tail male.
*c) then to the issue of the brothers by their wives in tail general (including females) according to primogeniture.
*d) and then to James' heirs male or of entail to be made by him.

Upon George's death three years later, his son-in-law, James (who had changed his surname to Forrester) inherited the title. James' only child by George's daughter had died in 1652 and though he had further issue by his second wife, Lady Jean Ruthven (daughter of the 1st Earl of Brentford), upon his own death in 1679, the title passed to his younger brother, William as stipulated by the second remainder (b). William's son (who also changed his surname to Forrester) inherited the title in 1681 and it continued in the male line until the death of the seventh Lord in 1763, when it passed to the sixth Lord's sister, Caroline. Her only daughter, Anna inherited the title in 1784 and it then passed to Anna's first cousin-once-removed, Viscount Grimston (later Earl of Verulam) in 1808, with which family the title continues to be held by to this day.
