William Maule, 1st Earl Panmure
General William Maule, 1st Earl Panmure (1700–1782) was a Scottish soldier and politician.
Maule was born in France to the Honourable Henry Maule, younger brother of James Maule, 4th Earl of Panmure. He returned to his family home in Scotland to become a soldier. He bought back the estate and was created Baron Maule, Viscount Maule and Earl Panmure in the Peerage of Ireland in 1743,[1] his uncle's earldom having been forfeit by attainder in 1716. From 1735 to 1782 he represented Forfarshire in Parliament. Lord Panmure had no children and, on his death, his estates were divided between a cousin George Ramsay, 8th Earl of Dalhousie, and George's second son, William.
