310 Notes on Newton Don. By C. B. Balfour. 



In 1861 he went to Australia, where, at Hobart Town, 

 where he was acting with a company of his own, he died 

 of aneurism, on 15th March 1862, at Webb's Hotel. 



Sir William was twice married. 



(i.) On Ist June 1847 to Antonia, daughter of M. Lebruu 

 of Hamburg, by whom he had one daughter, 



Alexina Mary, who married Col. Scheer, an ofl&cer in the 

 German army, and has issue. 



(ii.) On 1 7th October 1857 to Emily Eliza, daughter of 

 John Saunders, by whom he had one daughter, 



Wenriette Grace Mary, who married, 19th July 1887, Everett 

 Gray; and (2ndly) 10th August 1892, John Satterfield Sandars. 



Lady Don died in Edinburgh 20th September 1875. 



The baronetcy, on Sir William Don's death, passed to the 

 Don-Wauchope family, descended from Patrick Don of 

 Auldtownburn, 3rd son of the first baronet. 



Some alterations have been made in the house and policies 

 by my father and myself, but in the main both represent 

 the result of the planning and labour of the family who 

 were so long the owners of the estate; and I hope that 

 these notes may prove useful in giving an account both of 

 " Little Newton " and of some of its owners. For much of 

 the history of the Don family I am indebted to Mrs Sandars, 

 and also to Dr Hardy, the Hon. James Home, and others, 

 who have given me great assistance, for which I am very 

 grateful.
