Na aanleiding van die dood van sy eerste seun, het James sy Yorkshire Estates aan sy tweede seun James Archibald Stuart Wortley Mackenzie, 1ste Baron Wharncliffe, gegee.

James Archibald Stuart Wortley Mackenzie het 'n kinderlewe gehad wat baie ooreenstem met dié van Edward Wortley, Lady Mary se seun. He traveled with chimney sweeps from Richmond Park where his father occupied the Deputy Ranger’s house, these sable gentry having offered him a ride on their donkey. At the end of four days' absence they brought him back, after what seems to have been a voluntary act of the child's own hardihood. (https://archive.org/stream/wortleywortleysl00gatt/wortleywortleysl00gatt_djvu.txt)

Hy het die lweermag betree en in 1797 'n kolonel geword.  After the usual education, he entered the army, and served in a Highland regiment at the Cape of Good Hope and elsewhere, until recalled to his responsibilities at Wortley, in 1810.  (https://archive.org/stream/wortleywortleysl00gatt/wortleywortleysl00gatt_djvu.txt)

Terwyl hy diens gedoen het, is hy in 1799 met Lady Caroline Creighton getroud wat die dogter van die eerste graaf van Erne was , whose widow, Lady Erne, resided about half a century ago at Wharncliffe Lodge, as its last occupant. When Mr. Wortley took possession of the Hall, it was in no finished state, and it stood in the middle of a ploughed field and the present beauty of the garden, pleasure grounds, and ornamental planting, is mainly due to the fine taste and fostering care of his wife, the Lady Caroline Wortley.

In 'n dagboekinskrywing word James Archibald beskryf as, "a spirited, sensible, zealous, honorable, consistent country gentleman." 

He retired (army) in 1801 and devoted himself to politics, sitting in parliament as a Tory for Bossiney in Cornwall till 1818, when he was returned for Yorkshire. His attitude on various questions became gradually more Liberal, and his support of Catholic emancipation lost him his seat in 1826. He was then raised to the peerage as Baron Wharncliffe of Wortley, a recognition both of his previous parliamentary activity and of his high position among the country gentlemen. At first opposing the Reform Bill, he gradually came to see the undesirability of a popular conflict, and he separated himself from the Tories and took an important part in modifying the attitude of the peers and helping to pass the bill, though his attempts at amendment only resulted in his pleasing neither party. He became lord privy seal in Peel's short ministry at the end of 1834, and again joined him in 1841 as lord president of the council. In 1837 he brought out an edition of the writings of his ancestress, Lady Mary Wortley-Montagu (new ed. 1893).(https://theodora.com/encyclopedia/w/james_archibald_stuartwortley_wharncliffe.html)
