Jemima Yorke, 2nd Marchioness Grey

She was a daughter of John Campbell, 3rd Earl of Breadalbane and Holland, and his first wife, Lady Amabel Grey. Her maternal grandparents were Henry Grey, 1st Duke of Kent, and his first wife, the Hon. Jemima Crew.

On 22 May 1740, she married the Hon. Philip Yorke (later 2nd Earl of Hardwicke), and they had two daughters:

• Lady Amabel Yorke (1751–1833), married Alexander Hume-Campbell, Lord Polwarth; no issue.
• Lady Mary Jemima Yorke (1757–1830), married Thomas Robinson, 2nd Baron Grantham, and had issue.

On 5 June that year, she succeeded as Marchioness Grey by a special remainder upon the death of her maternal grandfather, the Duke of Kent, who held the title. As she had no male heirs, the title later became extinct upon her own death in 1797, but her elder daughter was later created Countess de Grey in her own right.
