Note du spécialiste

Katherine Watson Southwell was the daughter of the Whig politician Edward Watson, Viscount Sondes (1686-1722), who served in Parliament from 1708 until 1722, and Lady Catherine Tufton. On 21 August 1729, she married Edward Southwell (1705-1755), a descendant of Thomas Cromwell, 1st Earl of Essex (1485-1540). Southwell sat in the Parliament of Ireland from 1727 until his death, succeeded his father as Principal Secretary of State for Ireland in 1730 and served as an MP from Bristol between 1739 and 1754. The couple had two children, Edward (1738-1777) - later Baron de Clifford - and Katherine (1739-1748).
