THE YOUNGER CHILDREN OF LOUISA,
COUNTESS OF DYSART.
JOHN TALMASH, the second son of John Manners and Louisa
Countess of Dysart, married in 1806 Mary, Dowager Duchess
of Roxburghe, widow of the fourth Duke of Roxburghe. John
Taimash, who died in 1837, is the original of Dighton’s coloured print
called “ A View in Portman Square.”
Charles Manners Taimash, the only one of Louisa Countess of
Dysart’s ten children to survive her, was born in 1775. He married twice,
and one of his children, Maria Elizabeth, became the wife of Charles, first
Marquess of Ailesbury. As “ Lady A.” she was well known in London
society till her death in 1893; and her marriage was one of the three
weddings which have taken place in the private chapel of Ham House.
Charles Manners Taimash lived chiefly at Harrington in Northampton-
shire, the old home of the “ Stanhope Heiress” who married Sir Lionel
Tollemache (the second baronet) of Helmingham, and he died in 1850.
Four of the daughters of Louisa, Countess of Dysart, lived to grow
up and marry, but as the three elder sisters died before their mother
succeeded to the Dysart title they had not the rank of Earl’s daughters.
In the “ Forest Room” at Ham House there are four small water-colour
portraits of these sisters in one frame.
Lady Dysart’s eldest daughter, named Catherine Sophia, married
in August, 1793, Sir Gilbert Heathcote, Bart., of Normanton Park, near
Stamford. Her son was the first Lord Aveland, and her grandson was
created Earl of Ancaster. There is a picture at Normanton Park by
Cosway of Lady Heathcote which has been engraved ; she is represented
as Hope, leaning on an anchor.
The second daughter, Maria Caroline, married in September, 1799,
Colonel James Duff, a distinguished Peninsular officer, afterwards the
fourth Earl of Fife. In 1805, whilst Colonel and Mrs. Duff were spend-
