[2] She married a diamond merchant and military contractor, Elias Levy, in 1727, moving first into Bishopsgate street and then into a mansion on Wellclose Square.

[4][3] Levy took an active role in the running of the family businesses of her husband and father and, it is said, contributed to their great prosperity.

Both her husband and father would die in close succession, 1750 and 1756, leaving her to inherit a vast sum of wealth, with an annual income of about £6000 (equivalent to £960,000 in 2023).

[3] Her attitude seems to have also changed as she became far more lavish in her spending than the frugality she was previously known for, with local newspapers now printing her movements.

She left no will and her immense fortune of £30,000 (equivalent to £4,780,000 in 2023) went to a relative John Franks, who was also noted for his benevolence, distributing relief to hundreds of needy people without distinction for their religion.
