महाराज रामसिंह
ठाकुर देशराज लिखते हैं कि महाराज यशवन्तसिंह की मृत्यु के पीछे उनके ज्येष्ठ पुत्र राज सिंहासन पर विराजे। 25 दिसम्बर सन् 1893 ई. को उनका राज-तिलक हुआ। इनके सहकारियों में कुछ अयोग्य लोग प्रविष्ट हो गए जो प्रजा के शुभ-चिन्तक की अपेक्षा अहितकारी थे। संयमी न होने के कारण उनका स्वास्थ्य बिगड़ गया था, ऐसा इतिहासकार मानते हैं। सन् 1900 ई. में महाराज रामसिंह ने एक नाई को गोली से मार दिया। इसी घटना से आपको अंग्रेजी सरकार ने गद्दी से हटाकर देहली की छावनी में भेज दिया। इनके दो सुपुत्र हुए थे। एक स्वनाम-धन्य महाराज श्री कृष्णसिंह और दूसरे कुंवर गिरराजसिंह ।
सन् 1922 ई. में आप देवली से आगरा आ गए थे और कोठी भरतपुर में रहते थे। सन् 1929 ई. में आपका स्वर्गवास हो गया।
