Note for: Alexander Mundell, 3 FEB 1768 - 19 MAR 1837 Index

Apart from the information about Alexander being legal advisor to the Hou se of Peers and Sir Walter Scott, I have the following information from t he back of an oil painting. The Cameron-Smith papers do give the informat ion about Alexander Mundell and his children, but this expands that inform ation and details.

Note:
[1] - National Biography, The Kent Visitation of 1619 and Theodore K. Ra bb in Jacobean Gentleman, Sir Edwin Sandys, 1561-1629 states her name w as Elizabeth, although other sources recording the Wilford side of the fam ily name her as Margaret. Did she later adopt her mother's christian name?
[2] - Edward Hasted records the marriage of Anne Sandys and Thomas Engeh am in The History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent, 1799 (1 st edn) Vol IV, 147. However this detail was trimmed from his 2nd editi on (1800). The Kent Visitation of 1619 has a Thomas Engham [sic] son of Ed ward and Elizabeth who was aged 21 at the time of the visitation.
[3] - The Kent Visitation of 1619 and National Biography records her as Ca therine. However The Kent Visitation of 1663 uses Katherine. Professor The odore K. Rabb, who has studied letters written by Edwin and his wife, reco rds her as Katherine.
