Mary Lovell

Mary Lovell and Ann Grassett (q.v.) had inherited the estate (Chancery Lane) from their brother, William Yard, mortgagee of Renn Hamden and John Hamden or Hampden (Renn Dickson Hampden, who was Mary Lovell's son-in-law, was a different man, probably a cousin of Renn and John Hampden). Mary Lovell and Ann Grassett were resident at the time, but Mary Lovell moved to England and died in 1843, according to Kathleen Mary Butler.

1. The will of Mary Lovell, widow, was proved 12/08/1843. The will identifies her as the widow of the late Edward Lovell; she left 'all her property in England and the West Indies' to her son Philip Lovell and her daughter Mary, wife of Renn Dickson Hampden (q.v.). Probably also mother of Rev. Edward Lovell (q.v.)
