about

Peggy Doig (28 July 1763)

"I should also have mentioned some time ago that Peggy Doig, the mother of my little boy, is in town." Yes he should have. Boswell received word that he was a father in November 1762, soon after his arrival in London. But this is the only time he mentions the mother's full name. He met her in Edinburgh in January, 1762, calling her "the most curious young little pretty" but he left Scotland before the birth. The boy was called Charles. He was given to a foster-mother and supplied with a nurse. Boswell claimed that the baby "shall always find me an affectionate father". But in fact he never saw Charles, as the boy died in February 1764.
