  • Notes 
    • Early Life
      Jemima Foster Sutherland was born in about 1778 - no records of her birth or baptism have been found, so this date is based on her age given in later censuses (where she also stated her place of birth as Ireland). She was apparently the youngest daughter in the family1; her parents were Capt. John Sutherland and Mary Williams. See bottom for some discussion of alternative parents found on the web, and why I think those pedigrees are wrong.

      Family Life
      Aged about 23, Jemima Sutherland married Capt. Richard Bullen of the 2nd Dragoon Guards on the 8th of October 1801 in Newport on the Isle of Wight (which is also where her sister Janette got married). They had seven children:

      1. Emma Francis, born 1802 and who married a cousin, Aretas Sutherland Young (son of Emma's aunt Janette) in 1828
      2. Charlotte Laura, born 1804 and who married James Smith in 1828
      3. Charles John, born 1806
      4. Jemima Cecilia, born 1808
      5. Richard Edward, born 1809 and who married Susannah Paine in 1839
      6. George Shipley, born 1811 and who died as an infant in 1812
      7. Constance, born 1814 and who married Lt. Col. Hugh Mitchell, R.M. in 1836

      Death
      Jemima Foster Sutherland died, aged 84, on the 17th of May 1862, in Lewisham. She was most likely living with her daughter Constance who was also widowed (from 1851).

      Footnotes
      [1] According to her marriage announcement - "youngest daughter of the late captain Sutherland", which means that her father must have been dead by 1801, which excludes the possibily that her father was James Sutherland, the last Earl Duffus (as many people have assumed, viz Ancestry and other places) as the latter died in 1827.
      [2] Janette's marriage to Robert Young.
      [3] There is a baptismal record for a Jennet Sarah Sutherland in 1774 in Devon; her parents are given as Captain John of the 11th Regiment and Mary Elizabeth; the transcription and image are on FindMyPast. The 11th Regiment could be the 11th Regiment of Foot, later the Devonshire Regiment.


      Jemima's parents
      Some Ancestry pedigrees state that Jemima was an illegitimate daughter of Captain James Sutherland ("CJS"), last Earl Duffus, but I disagree:

      • At Jemima's marriage in 1801, her father is described as "late" but CJS was still alive in 1801 (he died in 1827)
      • Assuming it is the right record, her sister Janette's baptism states she was the daughter of Capt. John Sutherland of the 11th Regiment & Mrs Mary Elizabeth.
      • CJS, in his will, recognises many illegitimate children, but makes no mention of Jemima

      Instead, I make her father Capt. John Sutherland, as noted in announcements of her marriage (see below). This John Sutherland married a Mary Elizabeth Williams, who for the time being I show as Jemima's mother. One area of further inquiry would be Jemima's middle name, Foster, as this might be a maternal surname (either indicating that her mother's surname was Foster, not Williams, or perhaps being the surname of her maternal grandmother).
