Francis Stuart, 9th Earl of Moray

Francis Stuart, 9th Earl of Moray (11 January 1737 – 28 August 1810) was a Scottish nobleman.

He was the eldest son of James Stuart, 8th Earl of Moray and, his first wife, Grace (née Lockhart) Gordon, Countess of Aboyne (1706–1738).

His maternal grandparents were Sir George Lockhart of Carnwath and Lady Euphemia Montgomerie (a daughter of the 9th Earl of Eglington).

[3] In 1755, his father purchased his grandmother's family estate, Balmerino House in Leith, from the Crown who had confiscated the house due to Lord Balmerino's active support of the Jacobite Rebellion.

Shortly before Francis acceded to his titles in 1767, his father sold it to Lady Baird of Newbyth, in 1762.
