Notes:
In 1780, at the age of fifteen, Lady Emma Hamilton is said to have had a daughter by her "benefactor", Sir Harry Featherstonhaugh. The child was named Emma Carew and was raised by her grandmother in Wales. As a young child, Emma Carew saw her mother often enough, but later when her mother was submerged by debts, Emma Carew was forced to leave the country to work abroad as a governess or maid of honor, and she probably died not long after her mother.
