Notes
1. This fragment of Delany's family tree almost certainly concerns Lady Mary Villiers (d. 1734/5), daughter of Edward Villiers, 1st Earl of Jersey. She ‘married twice: Firstly to Thomas Thynne[...] Secondly in 1711 she married George Granville, 1st Baron Lansdowne (1666–1735), without sons’ (from Wikipedia).
2. Some fragmentary words round the top edge of the cut-out have not been reproduced.
3. ‘Lady Frances Carteret (6 April 1718 – 25 December 1788), married in 1748 John Hay, 4th Marquess of Tweeddale’ (Wikipedia)
4. John Hay, 4th Marquess of Tweeddale (1695–1762). ‘He married Lady Elizabeth (or Frances) Carteret, daughter of John Carteret, 2nd Earl Granville in 1748, and they had four daughters and two sons’ (Wikipedia).

Transliteration Information
Editorial declaration: First edited in the project 'Unlocking the Mary Hamilton Papers' (Hannah Barker, Sophie Coulombeau, David Denison, Tino Oudesluijs, Cassandra Ulph, Christine Wallis & Nuria Yáñez-Bouza, 2019-2023).
All quotation marks are retained in the text and are represented by appropriate Unicode characters. Words split across two lines may have a hyphen on the first, the second or both fragments (reco-|ver, imperfect|-ly, satisfacti-|-on); or a double hyphen (pur=|port, dan|=ger, qua=|=litys); or none (respect|ing). Any point in abbreviations with superscripted letter(s) is placed last, regardless of relative left-right orientation in the original. Thus, Mrs. or Mrs may occur, but M.rs or Mr.s do not.
