He succeeded his father in February, 1800 and took the additional surname of Hamilton.\n\nHe matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford on 24 October 1791. On 16 June 1814, he was made a DCL.He served in the British Army as an Ensign in the 1st Foot Guards from 1792, as a lieutenant and captain from 1794 and as a major in the 28th Light Dragoons from 1799 to c.1800.\nHe was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Haddingtonshire 1795–1800, Ayrshire 1803-1807 and 1811–1818 and Haddington Burghs 1820–1826.He died at Bargany in 1834. He had married the Hon. Jane Duncan, daughter of Adam Duncan, 1st Viscount Duncan and had one daughter. He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his brother Sir John Hamilton-Dalrymple, 5th Baronet.\nPassage 2:\nSir John Gage (15th-century landowner)\nSir John Gage was a major landowner and grandfather of the Tudor courtier Sir John Gage KG.\n\nBackground\nHe was a son of John Gage and his wife Joan, heiress of John Sudgrove of Sudgrove, Gloucestershire. The marriage of his parents appears in a pedigree that was compiled in 1627 from family deeds by Richard Hoskins of the Inner Temple. In 1416-17, John Sudgrove settled his lands at Miserden and Sudgrove on John and Joan Gage and Alice, his other daughter, with her husband John Bovey. Joan survived her husband and, on 10 August 1438, she and her son John conveyed their lands in Cirencester, Nether Siddington, Miserden and Brimsfield to trustees. That transaction may have taken place in connection with the marriage of John the son.\n\nMarriage and family\nJohn married Eleanor, a daughter of Thomas St Clere and his wife, Margaret Hoo. As Sir Thomas had no son, his three daughters were co-heirs to the extensive properties that he held at the time of his death in 1435.Sir John and Eleanor were the parents of:\n\nWilliam Gage\nJohn GageIn December 1445, the properties formerly held by Thomas St Clere were released from the King's hands into which they had been taken, despite Sir Thomas' attempts to deprive the King of his rights over the property and control of the marriages of its heiresses. By that stage, all three of Sir Thomas' daughters were married.A deed dated 8 July 1446 set out the agreed partition of Sir Thomas' lands between his three daughters and their husbands. The agreement involved John and Eleanor Gage receiving the following share:\n\nIn Sussex: The manors of Heighton St Clere, Hoathly & Tarring St Clere, with the advowson of Tarring.\nIn Surrey: The manors of Burstow, Hedgecourt and Marden.\nIn Kent: The manor of Wodeland. “Woodland alias Week” was a manor in the parish of West Kingsdown.\nIn Buckinghamshire: The manor of Aston Chiverey in the parish of Aston Clinton.\nIn Northamptonshire: The manor of Old (alias Wold).\n\nCareer\nJohn Gage was appointed Escheator of Northamptonshire and Rutland in 1446 and described as \"late escheator\" of Rutland in 1448. In November 1454, \"John Gauge\" was one of six men appointed to enquire into various details of the manor of Geddington. In July 1461, he was granted the post of Receiver of the Duchy of Lancaster lands in Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Huntingdonshire \"during good behaviour\".Evidence of how Hedgecourt Manor was managed by Sir John and his family has been extensively analysed by the Felbridge & District History Group.\n\nDeath and legacy\nInquisitions post mortem that were held after Sir John's death, which took place on 3 September 1475, established the contemporary extent of his landholdings. \nOn 28 November 1475, orders were issued to the escheators for Buckinghamshire, Surrey and Sussex stating that William Gage was the son and heir of Eleanor (late the wife of John Gage and one of the daughters and heirs of Thomas St Clere) and that William was now to have full seisin of those lands. The orders confirmed that Sir John had survived his wife and after her death held her lands for his own lifetime by courtesy of England.Various accounts, in Burke's Peerage and elsewhere, report the year of Sir John's death as 1486. They appear to be based on a reference in the Visitation of Gloucestershire 1623 to a statement taken from \"Howard 17, Herald's College\" to the effect that his inquisition post mortem was held on 30 September 26 Edward IV (i.e. 1486). However, 1486 cannot be the correct year because the records of his inquisitions post mortem are dated 1475. Moreover, \"26 Edward IV\" is not a valid Regnal year, as Edward IV died on 9 April 1483.\nPassage 3:\nThomas Gladstones\nThomas Gladstones (3 June 1732 – 12 May 1809) was a Scottish flour merchant and philanthropist. He was the father of Sir John Gladstone and the grandfather of the British prime minister William Ewart Gladstone.\n\nEarly life\nBorn at the farm of Mid Toftcombs in the parish of Biggar, Lanarkshire, Thomas Gladstones was the fourth son of John Gladstones (c.1696–1757), a miller and farmer at Mid Toftcombs. John Gladstones also served as an elder of Biggar Kirk. Thomas's elder brother, James, was a Church of Scotland minister and rector of Leith Academy.\nIn 1746, when he was aged 14, Thomas's father arranged for him to be apprenticed to Alexander Somerville, a wine merchant in Leith. When Thomas completed his apprenticeship he decided that the corn trade offered better prospects than did wine, and he established himself in Leith as a provision merchant and corn dealer, eventually trading at both wholesale and retail.\nHe died in 1809 at his home on Coalhill in Leith.\n\nMarriage and family\nOn 21 April 1762, Gladstones married Nelly Neilson (1738–1806), the daughter of Walter Neilson, a merchant from Springfield near Edinburgh. They had sixteen children together, the second-born, and eldest son, being Sir John Gladstones.\n\nCareer\nThomas Gladstones' corn business prospered during the 1760s. His business operated from a shop at the front of his house on Coalhill in Leith. Thomas became the lessee of the Dalry paper mill, where he appointed his brother-in-law, James Murray, as superintendent. He also bought and sold grain from the Baltic ports, was an investor in a Leith whaling syndicate, owned a number of trading ships, and had an interest in the sulfuric acid plants at Barrowmuirhead, near Leith. His provisions business focused on provisioning ships with butter, oranges, wine, vinegar and other goods.\nThomas Gladstones was a Whig and an elder in the Church of Scotland. He died at his home in Leith in May 1809, aged 86.
