The captain of HMS "Zebra", Tollemache was killed in a duel in New York City with Lt-Col. Pennington over a sonnet written by the latter, reflecting on Lady Bridget's wit. Tollemache was run through the heart, and Pennington received seven wounds and nearly died.
**Ens. Lionel Robert Tollemache (10 November 1774 – 14 July 1793), commissioned an ensign in the Coldstream Guards on 28 January 1791, killed at the siege of Valenciennes, without issue.

* Lt. Hon. William Tollemache (22 February 1751 – 16 December 1776), lieutenant of HMS "Repulse", lost with the ship in a hurricane off Bermuda
In 1743, Dysart was appointed a Knight of the Thistle. He was apparently very parsimonious towards his eldest son, who married Charlotte Walpole in 1760 without his father's knowledge. ["Letters of Horace Walpole", 2 October 1760]
Upon his death in 1770, he was succeeded as earl by his eldest son Lionel.
