Excerpt from Autobiography of the Late Sir Benjamin C. Brodie, Bart My father scarcely ever spoke of his own family, and what little I know of them is chiefly derived from ray unmarried aunt, Margaret Brodie. The supposition that my grandfather had become involved in some political difficulties is ratber confirmed by the circumstance of his having married afterwards the daughter of a staunch Jacobite, and by the Jacobite songs which my before-mentioned aunt was accustomed to repeat to us when I was a child. The only relations with whom he kept up any communication were a naval Captain, I believe afterwards Admiral, Brodie, who, as my aunt used to report to us, had two very handsome sons, and Mr. Brodie, of Brodie, who held the office of Lord Lyon.
