• Notes

  Known as Elizabeth Armstead/Armistead Her lovers before Fox are said to have included the second Viscount Bolingbroke, the third Duke of Dorset, the 12th Earl of Derby, Lord George Cavendish, and the future George IV. "Born Elizabeth Bridget Cane, her career began in an exclusive, high-class brothel in St. James' in London." [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Armistead] "At Parndon met James Martin and Jackson Barwis. Mrs. Martin had met and conversed with Mrs. Armstead (Fox's chere amie, and originally Mrs. Abbington's maid) unknowingly at Hastings's trial, and thought her a charming woman." ["The Early Life of Samuel Rogers" by P W Clayden - http://www.archive.org/stream/earlylifeofsamue00clayrich/earlylifeofsamue00clayrich_djvu.txt] At Farley Church there is a plaque dedicated to Charles Fox from Elizabeth Armstead and his step son John.
