Mention of Marchioness Wellesley , granddaughter of Charles Carroll

Historical Context: Marianne Caton Patterson married the Marquis of Wellesley in 1825 after being widowed.

"On our return from church we went, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Bates, to pay a visit to Lady Wellesley, [2] who had been for some weeks confined by indisposition to the house.

This celebrated granddaughter of Charles Carroll, [1] is still a superb woman, and although thin, and pallid, by illness, possesses the remains of great beauty and charm of manner, for which latter, she is quite conspicuous. I thought her intelligent and gentle. She made several enquiries respecting the last court drawing-room, and remarked, that not being herself able to attend, "the Duke" had sent for her inspection, the diamonds, that afterwards ornamented the dress of her niece, the Marchioness of Douro, and that Mrs. Murray was occupied from early in the morning, until the hour for going to court, in sewing on the diamonds, of the boddice alone."
