      Births.
      [Jan. 1758] 9. At London, the Countess Gower, of a son and heir-apparent.

      --- "Leeds Intelligencer" Monday, 21 Nov 1803, page 1:
      The present Marquis of Stafford is unquestionably the richest man in England: he inherits from his father at least 50,000l. a year: the late Duke of Bridgwater bequeathed him more than 30,000l. a year; and the rent-roll of his Lady (Countess of Sutherland in her own right) is upwards of 22,000l.
