Material relating to Caroline Maria Graham, http://special.lib.gla.ac.uk/manuscripts/search/results_n.cfm?NID=37042&RID=&Y1=&Y2=&M=001

Her husband, the 3rd Duke, was previously known as the Marquis of Graham, a lover of Seymour Fleming, the scandalous Lady Worsley (Rubenhold 2015), who had suffered from a venereal disease which she had contracted from him in 1780.

Her sister-in-law, Lady Susan Gordon, Duchess of Manchester (1774-1828), is mentioned in the "Memoirs of a Highland Lady", under date 1812, that "the Duchess had left home years before with her footmen." Lady Jerningham wrote on 6 September 1813, "The Duchess of Manchester is finally parted from her husband, her conduct being most notoriously bad." https://archive.org/stream/memoirsofhighlan00graniala/memoirsofhighlan00graniala_djvu.txt Tmajoor (talk) 15:31, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
