Notes:

Charlotte is not mentioned by Macgrath, 1960 (p15)for these parents who have 3 daus born in 1750s. Hugh and Lady Ann Lee married Dec 1749. This raises questions re the data provided by the Chapter Book. NB Charlotte does appear in Cliffordiana p51 born one year after the youngest son. This version of the family is supported by Mason 1996 p35

Her older sisters Anne b1754 and Mary b1755 both died at Montargis. See Cliffordiana p51.

As well as portion had the interest on £3000 during her life: see Chapter Book p25.
