Lady Catherine Maria Arbuthnott daughter of Rev. C. Eustace: m.1827, Admiral Sir Alexander Dundas Young Arbuthnott, K.C.B, (1789-1871)
In 1827, Arbuthnott married in Kildare Catherine Maria ("Mary") Eustace (born about 1806 in Ireland; still alive in 1891 living in Sheepy Magna, Atherstone, Leicestershire), third daughter of Rev. Charles Eustace and descendant of the Viscounts Baltinglass. They had a daughter, Josette Eliza Jane Arbuthnot (born about 1829 in France; died 12 January 1909; married Major Frederick Wollaston).
Josette Eliza Jane (Arbuthnot) Wollaston (abt. 1829-1909). She married Frederick Wollaston on Monday, 15th April 1850, at Clungunford, County Salop (now Shropshire), the ceremony being performed by his father the Rev. Henry John Wollaston.
From 1825 to 1843 he was in 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons, retiring with the rank of major. In 1853 he was appointed Sheriff of Leicestershire. He became a Knight Commander of the Order of St John in 1857. In 1873 the landed estate of the Wollastons of Shenton was returned as no more than 122 acres with an estimated rental of £330 a year. But the actual landed property amounted to 2,300 acres.
