...Carmichael died, aged 37, at Edinburgh on 16 July 1727 and was buried at Lamington, an estate (reportedly worth 20,000 merks p.a.) which his wife had recently inherited from her father. In expectation of succeeding to Lamington, Carmichael’s eldest son, William, adopted the surname Baillie-Carmichael, but died in 1738, during his mother’s lifetime, whereupon the baronetcy became extinct and the estates passed to his sister, Henrietta. In 1741, she married Robert Dundas† of Arniston, half-brother to the great Henry Dundas†, bringing with her then (so it was said) a fortune of £2,000 p.a."
