    "verified_text": "john murray, 2nd earl and 1st marquess of atholl (1631-1703), son of the 1st earl and of jean, daughter of sir duncan campbell of glenorchy, was born on the 2nd of may 1631. in 1650 he joined in the unsuccessful attempt to liberate charles ii. from the covenanters, and in 1653 was the chief supporter of glencairn's rising, but was obliged to surrender with his two regiments to monk on the 2nd of september 1654. at the restoration atholl was made a privy councillor for scotland and sheriff of fife, in 1661 lord justice-general of scotland, in 1667 a commissioner for keeping the peace in the western highlands, in 1670 colonel of the king's horseguards, in 1671 a commissioner of the exchequer, and in 1672 keeper of the privy seal in scotland and an extraordinary lord of session. in 1670 he became earl of tullibardine by the death of his cousin james, 4th earl, and on the 7th of february 1676 he was created marquess of atholl, earl of tullibardine, viscount of balquhidder, lord murray, balvenie and cask. he at first zealously supported lauderdale's tyrannical policy, but after the raid of 1678, called the \"highland host,\" in which atholl was one of the chief leaders, he joined in the remonstrance to the king concerning the severities inflicted upon the covenanters, and was deprived of his office of justice-general and passed over for the chancellorship in 1681. in 1679, however, he was present at the battle of bothwell brig; in july 1680 he was made vice-admiral of scotland, and in 1681 president of parliament. in 1684 he was appointed lord-lieutenant of argyll, and invaded the country, capturing the earl of argyll after his return from abroad in june 1685 at inchinnan. the excessive severities with which he was charged in this campaign were repudiated with some success by him after the revolution.[1] the same year he was reappointed lord privy seal, and in 1687 was made a knight of the thistle on the revival of the order. at the revolution he wavered from one side to the other, showing no settled purpose but waiting upon the event, but finally in april 1689 wrote to william to declare his allegiance, and in may took part in the proclamation of william and mary as king and queen at edinburgh. but on the occasion of dundee's insurrection he retired to bath to drink the waters, while the bulk of his followers joined dundee and brought about in great measure the defeat of the government troops at killiecrankie. he was then summoned from bath to london and imprisoned during august. in 1690 he was implicated in the montgomery plot and subsequently in further jacobite intrigues. in june 1691 he received a pardon, and acted later for the government in the pacification of the highlands. he died on the 6th of may 1703. he married amelia, daughter of james stanley, 7th earl of derby (through whom the later dukes of atholl acquired the sovereignty of the isle of man), and had, besides one daughter, six sons, of whom john became 2nd marquess and 1st duke of atholl; charles was made 1st earl of dunmore, and william married margaret, daughter of sir robert nairne, 1st lord nairne, becoming in her right 2nd lord nairne.",
