Younger daughter of William Maxwell of Preston, Kirkcudbright, Scotlandand widow of John, lord Viscount Glenorchy (eldest son of the 3rd Earl of Breadalbane). Her link to Matlock was through her religious beliefs. She built several chapels and founded one in Matlock Bath having passed through the village whilst travelling. There is more about the occasion under the Glenorchy (Independent) Chapel."
