Notes:

Her grandfather was the Catholic naval officer, Sir William Monson (ODNB).

In 1714, she tied with Anne Tyldesley to be superior but lost in a draw of 'beans and peas'.

To mark the 50th jubilee of Ann Tyldesley she created a copy of verses in praise of St Paul, written in gold characters (pd 16 Jul 1708).
