Hamilton, 1st earl of See also:Haddington, has been regarded as the heroine of the ballad " The Gypsie Laddie," but this identity is now completely disproved. John, the 7th earl, " the See also:heir," says Burnet, " to his father's stiffness, but not to his other virtues," supported the revolution of 1688 and died on the 23rd of July 1701; his grandson John, the 8th earl, died without sons in August 1759.

In See also:January 1762 the House of Lords decided in favour of the heir male, and Sir Thomas became the 9th earl of Cassillis. He died unmarried on the 30th of See also:November 1775, and his brother David, the loth earl, also died unmarried on the 18th of December 1792, when the baronetcy became See also:extinct. The earldom of Cassillis now passed to a See also:cousin, See also:Archibald Kennedy, a See also:captain in the royal See also:navy, whose father, Archibald Kennedy (d. 1763), had migrated to See also:America in 1722 and had become See also:collector of customs in New See also:York. His son, the 11th earl, had estates in New See also:Jersey and married an See also:American heiress; in 1765 he was said to own more houses in New York than any one else. He died in See also:London on the 3oth of December 1794, and was succeeded by his son Archibald (1770-1846), who was created See also:Baron Ailsa in 1806 and See also:marquess of Ailsa in 1831. His great-grandson Archibald (b. 1847) became 3rd marquess.
