On the death of the 7th Earl of Findlater the Earldom of Findlater and the Lordships of Ogilvy of Deskford and Deskford became dormant and the Earldom of Seafield and the other peerages of 1698 and 1701 passed to his cousin, Lewis Alexander [Grant later Grant-Ogilvy], 5th Earl of Seafield. Following the regrant of 1641 the heirs male of Patrick [Ogilvy], 2nd Earl of Findlater, if any, would be entitled to the Earldom of Findlater and the Lordship of Ogilvy of Deskford. These were claimed in 1812 by Sir William Ogilvy of Boyne, Bt., but no proceedings were taken in respect of his claim.
