Edmund Affleck Bt (1725)

Ancestors

Biography

Research notes

9th of 11 sons (with 6 sisters).

Edmund was a "gallant naval officer", as opposed to the ordinary kind.^[1]

They made him an admiral, eventually, by Buggin's turn, but he never sailed in that capacity.

Also an MP, no doubt a gallant one.

And a baronet, which was hereditary. Maybe his talents were too, but his daughter was his heir. The title (created 1782 Jul 10) came with a special remainder to the heirs male of his father, but they failed to live up to it, somewhat.
