• Notes

  m1 Hyacinthe-Gabrille ROLAND m2 Marianne CATON Wellesley lived together for many years with Hyacinthe-Gabrielle Roland, an actress at the Palais Royal. She had three sons and two daughters by Wellesley before he married her on 29 November 1794. He moved her to London, where Hyacinthe was generally miserable, as she never learned English and she was scorned by high society: Lady Caroline Lamb was warned by her mother-in-law that no respectable woman could afford to be seen in Hyacinthe's society. Their daughter, Anne (Lady Charles Cavendish-Bentinck), married sequentially Sir William Abdy, 7th Baronet, and Lieutenant Colonel Lord Charles Bentinck, while another daughter, Hyacinthe Mary Wellesley, married Edward Littleton, 1st Baron Hatherton. Through Lady Charles Cavendish-Bentinck, Wellesley is a great-great-great grandfather to Queen Elizabeth II. Following his wife's death in 1816, he married, on 29 October 1825, the widowed Marianne (Caton) Patterson, whose mother Mary was the daughter of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the last surviving signatory of the United States Declaration of Independence; her former sister-in-law was Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte. They had no children. [1]
