Clementina Ogilvy, Countess of Airlie (née Drummond)

Clementina Drummond, daughter of Gavin Drummond and Clementina Graham, who lived at Keltie, Perthshire, Scotland (Clementina Graham was the daughter of John Graham, 1st Viscount Dundee). Clementina Drummond married in 1812 David Oglivy, who later assumed the title of Earl of Airlie (q.v.).

The Jamaica estate owned by the Earl and Countess of Airlie (given as Ferry Pen in the compensation records, but referred to as The Ferry in the Jamaica Almanacs) appears to have come into the Earl's family by his marriage to Clementina Drummond. The Ferry was registered to Gavin Drummond in 1807 and although listed under the names of Receivers in the 1811 Jamaica Almanacs appeared under Clementina Drummond in the 1812, 1816 and 1818 ('Clementine Drummond') Jamaica Almanacs. It appears under Lord Oglivie or Oglivy between 1821 and 1824, then under what appears to be a series of attorneys thereafter. Clementina Drummond was the sole heiress of her parents, and in turn her mother was the co-heiress of Alexander Graham of Duntroon or Duntrone, himself the heir of John 1st Viscount Dundee.
