Margaret Brisbane (née Napier) was a member of the Napier family of Merchiston, Scotland, and was the great-granddaughter of John Napier, the inventor of logarithms.

She was the daughter of Archibald Napier, 2nd Lord Napier and Lady Elizabeth Erskine, daughter of John Erskine, 19th Earl of Mar.

Upon the death of her brother, Archibald Napier, 3rd Lord Napier, the title passed through her sister Jean to her nephew Thomas Nicolson, 4th Lord Napier. When he, too, died unmarried and without heir, the title passed to her.

She married John Brisbane, Secretary to the Admiralty in the reign of Charles II , and they had a daughter, Elizabeth Napier, Mistress of Napier, who in turn married Sir William Scott, 2nd Baronet of Thirlestane.

When she died in 1706, the title passed to her grandson, Francis Napier, 6th Lord Napier, who was 4 years old.

gollark: Perhaps the headers should also store the location of the last header, in case of [DATA EXPUNGED].
gollark: There are some important considerations here: it should be able to deal with damaged/partial files, encryption would be nice to have (it would probably work to just run it through authenticated AES-whatever when writing), adding new files shouldn't require tons of seeking, and it might be necessary to store backups on FAT32 disks so maybe it needs to be able of using multiple files somehow.
gollark: Hmm, so, designoidal idea:- files have the following metadata: filename, last modified time, maybe permissions (I may not actually need this), size, checksum, flags (in case I need this later; probably just compression format?)- each version of a file in an archive has this metadata in front of it- when all the files in some set of data are archived, a header gets written to the end with all the file metadata plus positions- when backup is rerun, the system™ just checks the last modified time of everything and sees if its local copies are newer, and if so appends them to the end; when it is done a new header is added containing all the files- when a backup needs to be extracted, it just reads the end and decompresses stuff at the right offset
gollark: I don't know what you mean "dofs", data offsets?
gollark: Well, this will of course be rustaceous.
