Schwedt, 1734 (eldest Magraf of Schwedt, mentioned above as a comrade of
the Crown-Prince). Her life not very happy; she died 1765. Left no son
(Brother-in-law succeeded, last of the Schwedt MARGRAVES): her
Daughter, wedded to Prince Friedrich Eugen, a Prussian Officer, Cadet
of Wurtemberg and ultimately Heir there, is Ancestress of the Wurtemberg
Sovereignties that now are, and also (by one of HER daughters married to
Paul of Russia) of all the Czar kindred of our time. [Preuss, iv. 278;

10. AUGUST FERDINAND, born 23d May, 1730: a brilliant enough little
soldier under his Brother, full of spirit and talent, but liable to weak
health;--was Father of the "Prince Louis Ferdinand," a tragic Failure
of something considerable, who went off in Liberalism, wit, in high
sentiment, expenditure and debauchery, greatly to the admiration of some
