William Villiers, 3rd Earl of Jersey

[1] Among other achievements, Villiers was a founding Governor of the Foundling Hospital, a charity which received its royal charter on 17 October 1739 to operate an orphanage for abandoned children in London.

When she refused, Lord Jersey tried to sabotage her initial public concert, but she earned £15 from it nonetheless.

In 1761, she published a pamphlet, A Letter from Miss F—d to a Person of Distinction, defending her position.

[2] This in turn provoked a pamphlet from the Earl, A Letter to Miss F–d.

[3] On 23 June 1733, he married Anne Russell, Dowager Duchess of Bedford (c. 1704/1709 – 1762).
