Scottish nobleman
Lionel Tollemache, 5th Earl of Dysart
(6 August 1734 ? 20 February 1799) was a Scottish nobleman, styled
Lord Huntingtower
from birth until his succession to the Dysart earldom in 1770.
Lord Huntingtower received no settlement from his father at his
majority
, and, feeling he owed him nothing, married without his knowledge or consent.
[1]
[2]
The bride was
Charlotte
, daughter of
Sir Edward Walpole
, whom he married on 2 October 1760 at St James's Church, Piccadilly.
[3]
Charlotte's uncle
Horace Walpole
called Huntingtower "a very handsome person".
[1]
He succeeded to the earldom a decade later.
Charlotte died, after a long and painful illness,
[4]
at
Ham House
on 5 September 1789. Dysart remarried, on 19 April 1791, to Magdalene Lewis, sister of his brother Wilbraham's wife. He had no children by either wife, and upon his death at Ham House in 1799 was succeeded by his brother
Wilbraham
.
