Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SCY-SHA
SEAFIELD, EARLS OF . The 1st
earl
  of
Seafield
 , in the Scottish peerage, was James, Ogilvy (1663-1730), son and
heir
  of James Ogilvy, 3rd
earl
  of Findlater. Although in the convention
parliament
  of 1689 he had spoken for James II., he took the oath of allegiance to William and Mary, and after filling some
minor
  official positions he was made secretary of state in 1696, and lord chancellor in 1702. In 1707 he was made
chief
  baron in the court of exchequer. In 1701 he was created earl of
Seafield
 , and in 1711 succeeded to his father's earldom of Findlater. When his
great
  grandson, James, 7th earl of Findlater and 4th earl of Seafield died in October 1811 the earldom of Findlater became dormant or extinct, while the earldom of Seafield passed to a
cousin
 , Lewis Alexander Grant (1767-1840), who was descended from Margaret, a daughter of the 2nd earl. He took the name of Grant-Ogilvy and was succeeded as 6th earl by his brother, Francis William Ogilvy-Grant (1778-1853), whose descendant, James Ogilvie-Grant (b. 1876) became the Iith earl in 1888. The earl of Seafield is a peer of the United Kingdom as Baron Strathspey.
