Francis Stuart, 10th Earl of Moray
Francis Stuart, 10th Earl of Moray KT (2 February 1771 – 12 January 1848) was the son of Francis Stuart, 9th Earl of Moray.
Edinburgh
Moray lived at Drumsheugh House in Edinburgh, situated between Charlotte Square and the Water of Leith.
In 1822 he commissioned James Gillespie Graham to lay out an estate of huge townhouses on what was known as the Moray Feu. The development, begun in 1825, is now known as the Moray Estate, and edges Edinburgh's New Town. Street names are all closely linked to the Moray family. It remains as exclusive an address as when it was first built.[1]

- Francis Stuart, 11th Earl of Moray (1795–1859)

Lucy died in 1798 and Francis married Margaret Jane Ainslie, daughter of Col Sir Philip Ainslie of Pilton on 7 January 1801.[2] They had three children:
