Mother of one of Sir Francis Burdett's illegitimate children, sister of Hobbes Scott and William Scott. Burdett took out a law suit against William Scott in 1811 for the recovery of a loan of £5,000 during which Burdett's paternity was revealed. According to J Ann Hone, the Oxford children had been known as 'the Harleian Miscellany' on the grounds of their doubtful paternity.
