Miss Esther Jane Gayton was a dancer and actress who played a Sylph at Drury Lane as early as 1806. Sir Walter Scott mentions her (in the '''Edinburgh Annual Register''', 1810) as performing in 1808 in a revival “of our old favourite, Bluebeard,” in which Miss Gayton appeared in the role previously played by Madame Parisot. In 1809 she married the Reverend William Murray, half-brother of Sir James Pulteney, 7th Baronet or Clermont, Fifeshire, whose title Murray ultimately assumed ('''Gentleman’s Magazine''', May, 1811). She died in 1875.
