EVELYN PIERREPONT (c. 1655-1726), 5th earl and ist duke of Kingston, another brother had been member of parliament for East Retford before his acces sion to the peerage. While serving as one of the commissioners for the uni on with Scotland he was created marquess of Dorchester in 1706, and to ok a leading part in the business of the House of Lords. He was made a pri vy councillor and in 1715 was created duke of Kingston; afterwards servi ng as lord privy seal and lord president of the council. The duke, who di ed on the 5th of March 1726, was a prominent figure in the fashionable soc iety of his day. He was twice married, • and had five daughters, among wh om was Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (q.v.), and one son, William, earl of Kin gston (d. 1713). The latter's son, EVELYN PIERREPONT (1711-1773), succeeded his grandfather as second duke of Kingston. When the rebellion of 17 45 broke out he raised a regiment called " Kingston's light horse," whi ch distinguished itself at Culloden. The duke, who attained the rank of ge neral in the army, is described by Horace Walpole as " a very weak ma n, of the greatest beauty and finest person in England." He is chiefly fam ous for his connexion with Elizabeth Chudleigh, who claimed to be duche ss of Kingston (q.v.). The Kingston titles became extinct on the duke's de ath without children on the 23rd of September 1773, but on the death of t he duchess in 1788 the estates came to his nephew Charles Meadows (1737-18 16), who took the name of Pierrepont and was created Baron Pierrepont a nd Viscount Newark in 1796, and Earl Manvers in 1806. His descendant, the present Earl Manvers, is thus the representative of the dukes of Kingst on
