Who was Jemima Yorke, 2nd Marchioness Grey?
Jemima Yorke, 2nd Marchioness Grey and Countess of Hardwicke was a British peeress.
She was a daughter of John Campbell, 3rd Earl of Breadalbane and Holland and Lady Amabel Grey. Her maternal grandparents were Henry Grey, 1st Duke of Kent and Jemima Crew.
On 22 May 1740, she married Hon. Philip Yorke and they later had two daughters:
Lady Amabel, married Alexander Hume-Campbell, Lord Polwarth; no issue.

On 5 June that year, she succeeded as Marchioness Grey by a special remainder upon the death of her maternal grandfather, the Duke of Kent, who held the title.
