John Stirling of Kippendavie (1742–1846) was an 18th/19th century Scottish landowner. LifeHe was born on 22 December 1742 the second son of Patrick Stirling 4th laird of Kippendavie (1704-1745),from a family of renowned Jacobite sympathisers, and his wife Margaret Douglas.[1][2] In 1776 Stirling inherited the estate of Kippendavie, north-east of Dunblane,[3] following the death of his elder brother, Patrick Stirling. John then became 6th Laird of Kippendavie. Around 1800 he also acquired the estate of Kippenross, south-east of Dunblane. On his brother's death he also inherited the Keir plantation on Jamaica in the West Indies.[4] He died on 7 June 1816 aged 73. He is buried in the north aisle of Dunblane Cathedral. A monument to his memory by Peter Turnerelli lies high on the north wall. He left a fortune of over £146,000.[5] FamilyIn April 1781 he was married to Mary Graham, daughter of William Graham of Airth and they had at least 13 children.[6] His sons were tutored by Rev James Thomson. His daughter Eliza Christian Stirling married Sir William John Milliken-Napier, 8th Baronet. He was father to Jane Stirling. He appears to be either cousin or in-law to the Stirlings of Keir (as he inherited much of their land).[7] Artistic RecognitionHis portrait with his youngest daughter by Sir Henry Raeburn hangs at Fyvie Castle.[8] References1. ^https://www.geni.com/people/Patrick-Stirling-of-Kippendavie/6000000021510714446 {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Stirling, John}}2. ^http://www.clanmacfarlanegenealogy.info/genealogy/TNGWebsite/getperson.php?personID=I560&tree=CC 3. ^https://getoutside.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/local/kippendavie-wood-stirling-fk150pd 4. ^https://www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/person/view/2146644315 5. ^https://www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/person/view/2146644315 6. ^https://www.geni.com/people/Mary-Graham/6000000021510745852 7. ^https://www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/person/view/18902 8. ^https://artuk.org/discover/artworks/john-stirling-of-kippendavie-17421816-and-his-youngest-daughter-jean-wilhelmina-18041859-196622 4 : 1742 births|1816 deaths|Scottish landowners|British slave owners |
