Grace Gethin

Grace Gethin (née Norton; 1676 – 1697) was an English essayist.

After her death, her widower remarried Sarah Farnham, by whom he had at least one son, the third Sir Richard.

Her parents paid for another memorial in Westminster Abbey and a sermon to be read every Ash Wednesday to remember her life.

Later analysis reveals that Francis Bacon's words appear without attribution in a quarter of them.
