4 A BRIEF MEMOIR OF 
his third wife having been a daughter of that house, The part of the inscription on 
the tombstone which refers to Roxburgh is as follows :— 
Here are deposited the remains of Doctor William Roxburgh, of the 
Honourable East India Company's Civil Service, who died at Edinburgh on 
the 18th February 1815, aged 64. Also those of Mary, his wife, daughter of 
the late Robert: Boswell, Esquire, W.S., who died in London on the 18th 
January 1859 in her 85th year. Beneath this stone are also deposited the 
remains of Mary, the eldest daughter of Doctor William Roxburgh, and the 
wife of Henry Stone, Esquire, who departed this life on the 30th January 
1814, in the 30th year of his age. 
Dr. Roxburgh was three times married. Through the kindness of Mr. N. Bonham- 
Carter, of the Bengal Civil Service, who is a lineal descendant of the Mrs. Stone men- 
tioned on the tombstone, I am enabled to give the under-noted family table which, 
however, is unfortunately for the most part without dates:—

Estimated by the amount of elaborated botanical materials which he left behind him,
