Philip Dormer STANHOPE - Descendants?

Legg inn av cheryl » 11 jul 2006 08:30:34

I have gleaned from various websites that Philip Dormer STANHOPE 4th
Earl of Chesterfield had an illegitimate son called Philip STANHOPE
(1732-1768), whose mother was Madelina Elizabeth du Bouchet. This
Philip Stanhope secretly married Eugenia Peters in 1767, though they
had lived together nominally as husband and wife from at least 1760.
They had 2 sons, Philip & Charles, who after their father's early
death, came under the protection of their grandfather Lord
Chesterfield, & received inheritances from him when he died.

The burning question - does anyone know what became of these two sons?

I have brothers Charles & Philip Stanhope in my tree, Philip m.
Elizabeth DANIEL in Bristol 1790 & they had a daughter Eugenia. Charles
died without issue in 1847 leaving most of his quite large estate to
his brother's DANIEL nephews. The Will was contested & A2A has
correspondence between one of those nephews & Philip Henry Stanhope,
5th Earl Stanhope, regarding this matter. I'm not yet sure of the
significance of this.

I may be barking up the wrong tree -

Cheers
