Hope-Johnstone continued to prosecute the family claim to the earldom of Annandale and Hartfell, his father being the heir of the eldest daughter of the second earl. Previous claims, based on letters patent of 1661, had been rejected as their remainder only encompassed heirs male general; however, Hope-Johnstone was able to produce a royal charter of 1662 which extended the remainder.
