Sarah, born in 1792, was the daughter of General Charles Lennox, 4th Duke of Richmond and Lennox, and Lady Charlotte Gordon. She married Sir Peregrine Maitland, a widower, in Paris in 1815. They had seven children, one of whom died in infancy.
When her husband was lieutenant-governor of Upper Canada (Ontario), Sarah spent ten years in the province. The townships of Tiny, Tay and Flos are said to be named after her pet dogs.

Peregrine Maitland was the eldest of five sons of Thomas Maitland (d 1797) and Jane Mathew (1759-1830), daughter of Major General Edward Mathew and Jane Bertie. He had three sisters, and his eldest sister Jane married in 1800 a Lt. Colonel Warren of the Third Foot Guards. Maitland's maternal aunt married James Austen, brother of Jane Austen.

Maitland married twice: m1. 8 June 1803, in St George's, Hanover Square, (Westminster) to Louisa Crofton (d. 1805), daughter of Sir Edward Crofton, 2nd Baronet and
m2. 9 Oct 1815 at the Duke of Wellington's HQ during the occupation of Paris, Lady Sarah Lennox (1792–1873), one of the daughters of the 4th Duke of Richmond. Despite the initial opposition of her father, the marriage took place after the intervention and support of the Duke of Wellington. When the Duke of Richmond was appointed Governor-in-Chief of Canada, he appointed Maitland as Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada.

Barbara Fear (Crazy Decision -- letter, Dec. 19), got it wrong: The Ontario townships of Tiny, Tay and Flos (notice non-dental spelling -- one "s") were not named after the pet dogs of Mrs. Simcoe, wife of Upper Canada's first lieutenant-governor, but rather the pets of Lady Sarah Lennox, wife of Waterloo hero Major-General Sir Peregrine Maitland, lieutenant-governor first of Upper Canada (1818-1828) and then of Nova Scotia (1828-1834).
Tiny and Tay (at least as townships) are still with us, but on Jan. 1, 1994, poor little Flos was incorporated into the new and dully named township of Springwater.
