Her mother, Frances née Digby, had introduced the family to Alexander Pope.
[1] Frances married, on 28 June 1729, Henry Somerset, 3rd Duke of Beaufort, who the following year took the surname Scudamore by Act of Parliament.
[3][4] The year after her divorce, Frances remarried, her second husband being Colonel Charles FitzRoy, an illegitimate son of the 2nd Duke of Grafton.
[1] They had one daughter, also named Frances, born in 1750, the year of her mother's death.
The daughter Frances would go on to marry Charles Howard, 11th Duke of Norfolk, but became insane and was locked away for many years; after her death without children, the estate of Holme Lacy, formerly the property of the Viscounts Scudamore, fell into extensive litigation, eventually settling on Sir Edwin Stanhope, 3rd Baronet,[5] who adopted the additional surname Scudamore.
