Marquerite Kinloch

Biography


Birth: 1742
Death: 1813

Daughter of James Kinloch (1705-1778) and Anne Marguerite Wild. Married (1774) to John Christopher William de Rham (1733-1812). Sister-in-law of Robert Brown.

Also known as

  • Margaret Susanna Kinloch
  • Life with James Boswell

    Boswell first mentioned her in one of his french themes of November 2 & 3, 1763, where he complains about the conditions of his breeches, and subtly suggests that she mend them for him. In this theme he also mentions the two playing Shuttlecock, an old original form of Badminton, and in a letter of November 26, 1763, Guiffardiere mentions (perhaps ironically) envying Boswell the joy of playing shuttlcock with la belle sæur (Margaret) an hour every day.

    Notes

    Sources include The Plantagenet Roll of the Blood Royal of Britain: The Anne of Exeter Volume, p. 596
