The Fermor family (Russian: Ферморы) was a Russian noble family of Scottish origin in the Russian Empire.[1][2][3] The Counts of Fermor became Counts of Stenbock Fermor through female lineage.[4][5] The family held prominent Russian positions including Generals, Commander-in-Chief, Governors, female steel entrepreneurs, zemstvo president, and Duma depute.[6] The family estate was the Nitaure Castle near Riga in today's Latvia.
In 1758, General William Fermor became Russian Count Fermor (recognition of the H.R.E. title of the same year). His daughter Sarah Eleanore Fermor's and son William George Fermor's portraits are displayed in the Russian Museum. In 1825, permission to assume the additional name of Fermor with the title of Count Stenbock Fermor was given by Emperor Alexander I of Russia. Otto von Bismarck, as German Ambassador to Russia, lived in the house of the Count Fermor Stenbock in 1859 and received Russian culture and language lessons from the family.[7]. The aide-de-camp of the Russian Governor of Poland Count Fermor was mortally wounded in Warsaw by revolutionaries in 1906 during the Revolution in the Kingdom of Poland.[8][9][10] Count Fermor gifted a complete frozen Mammoth from the Great Lyakhovsky Island in Siberia to the National Museum of Natural History, France in 1913.[11][12][13] A descendant Fermor joint the US Army after World War II for a free world.[14]
