Earldom [S.] J. David of Scotland, br. of King "William tiie I 1180? I-* 10 * [S ], having obtained from that Monarch soon after his Tetvirn from his imprisonment (1174) in England the district of Garioch, or Garvyach, in Aberdeenshire( c ) became EARL OF GARIOCH [S.] He appears also in like way to have become Earl of Lennox [S.] In 1184 he received, by the resignation of his Mid br., an English Earldom, becoming (thus) Earl of Huntingdon and Camuridcie. He d. 17 June 1219. II. 1219, 2. John ("Le Scot"), Earl of Huntingdon, to &c, also Earl of Garioch [S.], who subsequently (1232) 1237. became jure malris Earl of Chester, 3d but 1st surv. s. and h.

[The style of "Lord Garioch "( d ) has frequently been used by the Earls of Mar [S.], but it does not appear that any Parliamentary Barony of that name was ever vested in them, tho,' as above stated, they had received the Lordship of Garioch from the Crown.] ( a ) This was in consequence of the claim of a son of Maria Elizabeth, the first wife of Alan, afterwards the second Lord, which son (4. 8 Dec. 1802), was bap. as Henry Fenton Gardner.

See fuller account of this matter in Le Marchimt's " Claim to the Barony of Gardner," 8vo., 1828. ( b ) Alan Hyde Gardner, b. 1 July 1836, is apparently the heir male, he being s. and h. of Stewart William Gardner, by Jane (paid to have been m. in India, 28 Aug. 1834), da. of Alan Gardner, which Stewart W.

" ,4s to the Garioch dignity it is remarkable how often the successive Earls and Countesses of Mar (Margaret and Isabel, Alex. Stewart, Robert Erskine), are called Earls of Garioch. The charter of Garioch to Thomas, Earl of Mar, is (or was in 1764) in the Mar charter chest. Lord Crawford surmised that it conveyed Garioch as an Earldom, and, therefore, that the
