Individual Details
Anna Maria Graham
(2 Aug 1787 - 21 Jan 1870)
Anna Maria Graham was born in Calcutta, 2 August 1787, the eldest daughter of Thomas Graham of Kinross House and his wife Ann (née Paul). She married on 21 May 1807, her 1st cousin, George Henry Templer, vicar of Shapwick, Somerset and eldest son of George Templer and his wife Jane (née Paul). The couple's mothers, the Misses Paul, daughters of Henry Paul, were described by a contemporary as "the most beautiful women ever married in India".
On the occasion of her marriage, Anna Maria received £5000 from her father. When he died, without a male heir (his only son Thomas Henry having been killed, aged 16, on the way to India) by the terms of his will, the house and lands at Kinross passed to his daughters and in due course to his first grandson to reach the age of 21. Sadly, despite being the elder daughter, Anna Maria only had a daughter, Sophia, so the estates passed to her sister Helen's son, Graham Montgomery, in whose family the house has passed until being offered for sale this year. Anna Maria's father and mother were painted by Richard Cosway and George Engleheart respectively.
