GeorgeCharlotte [Watkin Wynn]Catherine [Neville]
Elizabeth [Proby]Was the last of Mr. George Grenville’s daughters to marry. She became Lady Carysfort in 1787, and her husband was advanced a step in the Peerage in 1789, in like manner as his brother-in-law, Fortescue. He was a widower with five children; by his second marriage he had one son, who died an infant, and three daughters. [Leighton]
Hester [Fortescue]Born in 1760, married Hugh, third Baron Fortescue, raised in 1789 to the Earldom. Her eldest son, Hugh, known in this Correspondence by his courtesy title of Ebrington, was the same age as his cousins Richard Neville and Henry Williams Wynn, and shared their tastes and interests. The friendship between the three was very intimate, as the letters to Henry from both of them as boys and young men testify. George, the second son, was chosen, as already indicated, by his uncle and aunt, Lord and Lady Grenville, to be their heir. John, the. third son, entered Holy Orders. Of the six daughters, five married, but these ladies hardly appear at all in the Correspondence. [Leighton]
