(Source: Wikipedia)
Dowager Countess of Plymouth m. (1800) William 1st earl
Amherst. Other Archer would have been exposed to Amherst's court and political
connections.

Other Archer married (1811) Lady Mary Sackville, elder daughter of John 3rd duke of
Dorset. There was no issue. When Sara Dowager countess died in 1838 Lady Mary married
(1839) Other Archer's stepfather William 1st earl of Amherst.

Other Archer was prominent in the creation of the Worcestershire Yeomanry Division that
fought in Spain. At the time of his death he was Colonel of the Worcestershire Yeomanry
Cavalry. He was fond of hunting and kept a pack and a large stud at Hewell.

In 1832 he entertained the Duchess of Kent, together with her daughter Victoria, at
Hewell. He died at Deptford aboard his yacht, apparently from apoplexy, having dined
with his countess at his residence in Grosvenor Square, London. He is commemorated by
the obelisk on the Lickey Hills which is, or was, visible from Bromsgrove.

With Other Archer's death the title of earl of Plymouth, but not baron Windsor (that title
was held in abeyance until 1855), passed first to the oldest surviving uncle the Hon and
Rev. Andrews (1764- 1837), a priest of holy orders and then to another uncle Henry
(1768-1843). Henry married Anne Copson (1798) but there was no issue.

On Henry's death the earldom of Plymouth became extinct.
