The Marquis de Montauban's family once owned a castle in the
mountainous area
of the Belledonne, which they are said to have abandoned in 1789; they
were
staunchly royalist during the revolution and probably sought refuge in
London.
This Marquis was presumably a good friend of either Lewis or Nancy.
Mark MacKenzie
is Lewis's older brother (the middle of three sons). Denny Ashburnham
was
Nancy's stepfather and was the son of the 5th Bt Sir William
Ashburnham.
Nothing is known about Mary Copley, Caroline Maria Barker or Nancy
