Their son, born in 1778, was John FitzMaurice, Viscount Kirkwall (who was the father of the 5th Earl of Orkney, Thomas John Hamilton FitzMaurice). She succeeded her mother on 10 May 1791. Her husband died in 1793 with the Countess retaining possession of Cliveden, now owned by the UK National Trust and once the family seat of the Earl of Orkney.
