She was succeeded by her son from her first marriage, the third Earl, who had already succeeded his father as fourth Baronet. Lord Dysart notably represented Orford and Suffolk in the House of Commons, but declined the offer of an English barony. On the death in 1821 of his great-grandson, the sixth Earl, the Tollemache baronetcy became extinct. The Scottish titles were inherited by the late Earl's half-sister, the seventh Countess. She was the wife of John Manners . On succeeding to the titles Lady Dysart assumed by Royal license the surname and arms of Talmash (or Tollemache). Her eldest son and heir apparent, William Talmash, Lord Huntingtower , was created a Baronet, of Hanley Hall, in 1793 . However, he predeceased his mother and Lady Dysart was succeeded by her grandson, the eighth Earl (the son of Lord Huntingtower), who had already succeeded his father as second Baronet. On the death of his grandson, the ninth Earl, the baronetcy and Scottish peerages separated. The baronetcy was inherited by a male heir (see Tollemache Baronets for later history of this title) while the lordship and earldom passed to his niece, the tenth Countess. She was the daughter of Agnes Mary Manners Talmash (sister of the ninth Earl) and her husband Charles Norman Lindsay Tollemache Scott. Lady Dysart was the wife of Owain Edward Whitehead Greaves. As of 2006 the titles are held by their younger daughter, the twelfth Countess, who succeeded her unmarried elder sister in 2003 . Lady Dysart is the widow of Colonel John Peter Grant. The family seat is Bryn Garth Farm , near Monmouth , Monmouthshire . John Jervis Tollemache, 1st Baron Tollemache , was the son of Admiral of the Fleet John Richard Delap Halliday (who in 1821 assumed by Royal license the surname and arms of Tollemache in lieu of Halliday), eldest son of Lady Jane Halliday, youngest daughter and co-heir of the fourth Earl of Dysart.
