  • Notes  Married:
    • "Lady Hester Lucy Stanhope: A New Light on Her Life and Love Affairs" by Frank Hamel pub: 1913 page 5:

      The wedding tool place on December 19th, 1774, when Charles was still Lord Mahon. The Rev. Francis Fawkes, Rector of Hayes, addressed the following lines to the bride-groom, making a delicate allusion to his well-known Republican attitude:

      'When gentle hearts in faithful union join,
      And mix the Hero's with the Patriot line,
      With every charm uniting every grace,
      And all the virtues of the Temple race,
      The happy omen we with joy admit,
      And bless the match of Stanhope and Pitt.'
