^ Sister to the 10th Duke of Hamilton. This lady's well-known 

 devotion to Queen Charlotte is historic. She was also the reputed 

 authoress of The Secret History of the Court of England. Though in 

 reduced circumstances when this legacy was paid, she gave it intact 

 to her brother, Lord Archibald Douglas. 



- Not to be confounded with Lady Anne Hamilton, though a 

 relative by marriage : the wife of Sir William Hamilton — Nelson's 

 ' Emma.' Nelson, it is said, was jealous of ' Old Q,' who certainly 

 liked the society of his notorious family connection ; but his grace 

 was too wary for her extravagant wiles. One of these was imploring 

 the Duke to purchase Merton Place to aid her in discharging her 

 debts.
