2 RICHARD LOVELL EDGEWORTH’S FOUR FAMILIES Francis Ysidro Edgeworth’s grandfather, Richard Lovell Edgeworth, was born in Bath on 31 May 1744. He was educated at Warwick, Trinity College, Dublin and Corpus Christi College, Oxford. During his time at Oxford he lived in Black Bourton, Oxfordshire, at the house of Mr Elers, a friend of his father. First Family At the end of 1763, before finishing his studies and not yet twenty years old, Richard Lovell Edgeworth eloped to Gretna Green, on the Scottish side of the border, to marry one of Mr Elers’s daughters, Anna Maria, who was pregnant by him.
In November 1797, Elizabeth Edgeworth died from consumption, just like her sister Honora. Despite the fact that Richard Lovell was 53 years old when his third wife died, he lost no time getting married for the fourth time. Fourth Family His new wife was Frances Anne Beaufort, born on 28 July 1769 in Flower Hill, near Navan, County Meath, and therefore two years younger than Maria. She was the eldest offspring of Daniel Augustus Beaufort (1739– 1821) of Huguenot ancestry and Vicar of Collon from 1790 to 1821, and Mary Waller of Allenstown (1742–1835).
B. Edgeworth added: Rosa says this affair was what first made her father join the revolutionists [in fact, the government’s militia] whom before he had assisted only with money and mules. He would never wear any uniform when he formed the army except an épaulette. He said he was not a soldier. But they [Mina and Àlava] made him a colonel [and before 1831, a general], his eldest son only was made a lieutenant which turned to his advantage as he received the pay as an officer. B. Edgeworth explained several interesting details about his father-in-law that Rosa had told him: I had often wondered how Rosa’s father being banished and having to fly away suddenly from Spain, could have afforded to give his family so much education when they arrived in England.
