Personography

 

Over 2,600 persons have been identified so far in The Mary Hamilton Papers, some 2,580 of them named. The list below is extracted from the personography. Some entries have links to authority files (principally VIAF, ODNB or Hist. Parl.) or a short biographical description. Last revised 14 March 2024.

Mentions of a person in the transcribed portion of the Papers can be found with the search [persName="XXX"|rs="XXX"] in CQP syntax, where XXX is their project ID (case-sensitive); see the Text search page. Some revision of personography and edition files will continue. We are considering how best to present the many relationships between persons that are encoded in the personography but not shown here.

Beauvoir (née Sharpe, later Douglas), Mary

  • Biography: Mary Beauvoir was born on 26 May 1753, only daughter of the MP Fane William Sharpe. In 1782, Mary married Dr Osmund Beauvoir; after his death in 1789, she later remarried to Dr Andrew Douglas in 1791. She had a close relationship with the author Elizabeth Carter, moving in her bluestocking literary circles, and the two women would often travel together. Mary’s second husband, Dr Andrew Douglas, was a brother-in-law of Elizabeth Carter and her physician too. In 1792, the Douglases took a trip to Switzerland and Italy for medicine that would help a health complaint that Mary suffered from, and on their way back they travelled through revolutionary France, documenting their experiences in ‘Notes of a Journey’. Mary died on 20th February 1807. Mary Sharpe and Mary Hamilton were acquaintances from their youth. They wrote to each other about literature, and Sharpe would often invite Hamilton to the theatre. Hamilton confided her unhappiness at Court to Sharpe, and Sharpe wrote at length about her ties with Elizabeth Carter. In February 1783 the two had a disagreement and didn't speak subsequently. Letters in 1789 mention the disagreement and the ending of their relationship.

  • Dates: ? – ?
  • Biography: William Benn is believed to have been a servant of the Hamilton family (Mary Hamilton’s, whilst she was young). It is likely he worked for them after Hamilton’s father died in 1771, as Benn is not mentioned in his will. After he stopped working for the Hamiltons, he stayed in contact with the family and was involved in their affairs. He acted as secretary while Hamilton was living at Clarges Street, London, despite no longer being employed by her. Hamilton tried to assist him in getting work in the Treasury; however, it seems he did not achieve this position.

  • Biography: Elizabeth Malyn was born in 1691 to Thomas Malyn and Valentina Cox. She was married and widowed four times. Her first marriage was in 1713 to James Fleet. In his will he left her the property Tewin Water House. Her second marriage, to Captain William Sabine c.1734, was said to have been for wealth. Her third earned her status: in 1739 she married Charles Cathcart, 8th Lord. Her title from then onwards was Lady Cathcart, and she continued to use it following Lord Cathcart’s death in 1740. Lord Cathcart had children from his previous marriage, and Malyn appears to have formed a particular connection with his grandson, Francis, 8th Lord Napier. Napier lived at her Tewin Water House property for a period of time and she left him money in her will. Many of Lord Cathcart’s other grandchildren (the children of his son, Charles Cathcart Junior) are cousins of Mary Hamilton’s. Cathcart’s fourth marriage was in 1745 to Hugh Macguire. This was a very unhappy marriage. Macguire felt entitled to the properties belonging to her and her previous husbands, and when Malyn resisted giving him the deeds to Tewin Water House he imprisoned her in his castle in Tempo. She was completely isolated and lived on the bare essentials for over twenty years, until Macguire's death in 1766. Malyn then returned to England, to Tewin Water House, and regained her health and social community. Malyn died in 1789.

Her brother, Charles Asgill Junior, is renowned for the 1782 incident, the Asgill Affair. He was almost executed by American forces in protest against French intervention, and his execution was prevented by the French monarchs. Asgill suffered severe emotional distress as a result of this incident, as she had persuaded their father to let her brother join the army. Asgill, her mother, and her sister, Harriot Maria, visited France to thank the King and Queen for their action. Following this, a French magazine reported that Asgill is 'as beautiful as an angel’. In 1786 she married Robert Colville of Hemingstone Hall, Suffolk. She died in 1825.

Her father was an MP for Hindon, Cheshire and Newcastle-under-Lyme. She became a Maid of Honour to Augusta, Dowager Princess of Wales, in 1769. After Augusta died in 1772, Ariana held several roles in the royal household before becoming Woman of the Bedchamber to Queen Charlotte between 1786 and 1818. She never married or had children and died in 1827. Ariana met Mary Hamilton at Court and the two ladies corresponded frequently, often about fashion, social events and gatherings; Mary Hamilton once gave Ariana advice on how to respond to a letter received by a gentleman. In 1781 the two ladies suffered a disagreement; however, a month later it appears to have been forgotten and frequent correspondence continued.

Little is known about Farhill’s early life; however, he is documented as having been working in the royal household by 1780. He is likely to have died sometime after 1810. Farhill and Mary Hamilton became acquainted around 1780, and their earliest extant letter refers to a gift of paint that he sent to Mary. A keen poet, John sent Mary many of his ideas and notes to read and give feedback on. However, after 1783 Mary seems to have dropped the friendship as John Farhill’s romantic interest in her became clear.

Catherine Herries, her father’s wife, raised her as though she were her own daughter. Catherine was one of Mary Hamilton’s closest friends and Herries would write her own messages in Catherine’s letters to Hamilton. She would also write her step-mother's letters on her behalf when Catherine was unwell. In 1793 Herries married Captain Edward James Foote, Catherine’s brother. The couple had a son and two daughters. In 1801-2, when her husband was away in India, Herries had relations with Owen Jones and became pregnant with his child (who died as an infant in the Spring of 1803). Foote divorced her in 1803 so he could remarry. There was a court case, which Foote won — he was entitled to £5000. The divorce meant Herries and her step-mother became estranged from each other. Herries died in 1835.

  • Biography: Martha Carolina Goldsworthy was born c.1740 to Philippa Vanbrugh and Burrington Goldsworthy. Her father had held the position of English consul at Leghorn and Cadiz. She had one brother, Philip, who was Equerry to King George III from 1779. She dedicated most of her life to working at Court with the royal children. She was well-liked in the royal household and seems to have been much more popular amongst the royal children than her counterpart, Miss Gomm. Although she never married or had children, she established a household with Miss Gomm to look after the children of Gomm's brother, William Gomm, after his death. Martha died in 1816. Like Mary Hamilton, Martha was a sub-governess, and the two continued to correspond frequently after Mary left Court, exchanging letters with gossip as well as advice on royal etiquette.

In 1761, along with Juliane Elisabeth Schwellenberg, she accompanied (the soon to be) Queen Charlotte from Mecklenburg-Strelitz (Germany) to England, for her wedding to King George III. From 1778 Hagedorn was the second Keeper of the Queen’s Robes, still working alongside Schwellenberg. Hagerdorn left the position in 1786 as she was unwell and her eyesight was deteriorating. Her successor, Frances Burney, was supposedly warned of the cruelty Schwellenberg displayed towards Hagedorn, and was told Hagedorn's poor eyesight was a result of Schwellenberg’s insistence that the windows stay down when they travelled together, no matter the weather. Hagedorn died in 1789.

  • Biography: Mary Glover was born in 1767. She was the illegitimate daughter of the writer and politician Richard Glover. In 1787 she married Henry Halsey. He already had two illegitimate children, who Glover liked and attended to. Hamilton was a close friend of Glover’s, and Glover confided in her about this. Glover's sympathy towards Halsey's children may relate to her own experience of having a step-mother, Eleanor Glover (née Lenton), who treated Glover as a daughter. Glover’s father passed away in 1785 and left her his papers. Following this, she dedicated her time to getting his work published. She died in 1819.

Herries (née Foote), Catherine

  • Biography: Lady Catherine Herries was the daughter of Reverend Francis Hender Foote and Catherine Mann. Her first marriage was to Colonel John Ross of Cromarty. After she was widowed, she remarried in 1777, to Sir Robert Herries. She resided at her home on St James Street in London and hosted her own salon. Lady Herries and Mary Hamilton were close correspondents and exchanged gossip and family and general news. However, in later years (from c.1791) the correspondence appears to have become more one-sided: Herries would comment on the lack of communication from Hamilton. Herries died in 1808.

In 1789 Ramus was dismissed during the King’s illness, supposedly due to offensive curiosity about ‘his majesty’s looks and gestures’. There were also rumours that Princess Elizabeth was secretly married to Ramus and had given birth to his child — however this is most likely just gossip. After Ramus was dismissed he went to the East Indies. He died in 1792.

  • Biography: Juliane Elisabeth von Schwellenberg was born in 1728 in Mecklenburg-Strelitz (Germany). In 1761 she was selected by (the soon to be) Queen Charlotte to accompany her to Great Britain for her wedding. Once in Great Britain, she became the keeper of robes to the Queen, as well as a Woman of the Bedchamber. She held much influence at Court, and many other staff saw her as a gatekeeper to Queen Charlotte and her patronage, which led to antagonistic relationships with several other staff (including, famously, with Frances Burney). She died in 1797. Although a controversial figure, she and Mary Hamilton wrote to each other from time to time and appear to have got on well. After Mary Hamilton left Court, there are letters from Schwellenberg dated in 1789, passing on royal gossip and news.

He owned a significant amount of land. In 1759 he married Mary Salvin. Webb and Salvin met Mary Hamilton when she visited Spa in 1776, and his wife and Hamilton began corresponding. In Hamilton’s diary she suggests that Webb had married twice, prior to his engagement to Salvin. Webb and Salvin had one child, Barbara. Webb also had a number of illegitimate children, including James Webb (who inherited his Yorkshire estates) and likely also Frederick Webb. As he had no legitimate sons, when Webb died in 1797, the baronetcy passed to his nephew, Thomas.

However, the context and the wording ‘James ye 2d Queen’ (HAM/2/3b) do not quite rule out either.
