John James Hope-Johnstone of Annandale DL (29 November 1796 – 11 July 1876) was a Scottish Tory politician.
Hope-Johnstone was born on 29 November 1796. He was the eldest son of Vice-Admiral Sir William Johnstone Hope GCB, and Lady Anne Hope-Johnstone, the eldest daughter of James Hope-Johnstone, 3rd Earl of Hopetoun.[1]
He was Keeper of Lochmaben Palace.[2] Hope-Johnstone was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Dumfriesshire from 1830 until 1847 and again from 1857 to 1865.[3]
He succeeded his father after the latter's retirement, reportedly at the urging of the newly crowned king William IV. While in Parliament, he supported several reform bills and introduced a petition from Church of Scotland ministers supporting daily Bible classes for Protestant children in Ireland.
He was appointed a Deputy Lieutenant of Dumfriesshire in 1874. He was de jure 7th Earl of Annandale and Hartfell.[4] He on several occasions sought to obtain a peerage, but was ultimately unsuccessful.
On 8 July 1816 he married Alicia Anne Gordon, eldest daughter of George Gordon, Esq. He lived at Raehills in Lockerbie (where he considerably extended the house but faced "estate debts"), and Hook House, Dumfriesshire. Together, they had at least eleven children, including:[5]
The cause of his death in 1876 was given as "general decay".[5] As his eldest son William predeceased him, the claim to the earldom of Annandale and Hartfell passed to his grandson, John Hope Johnstone (1842–1912).[4]
