Notes |
- of Hawley House, Hants
- (Research):Ellen, Countess of Conyngham left an inheritance to the children of Thomas Douglas. She was a cousin on John Norris Snr, and the granddaughter of Charles Savage, the family that bought Hughenden before the Norrises inherited it. She inherited wealth through the Savages, her father Solomon Merrett and her husband, Henry Conyngham, 1st and last Earl Conynham - even her Aunt Elizabeth Boulter who also died childless. Ellen bought up young John Norris and treated him as her own child. He created a very loving memorial to her at Hughenden, after she died at the age of 91. The only connection with the Douglas's I know about is through Louisa, daughter of Thomas Douglas. However, there must have been more to it than that because she undertook to provide for his four children in her will
