BLUNDEN

[kennymclawrence]

Have you come across the story of Harriet daughter of John III? She eloped to the US with Castleblunden gardener James Egan. Disowned by the family and written out of history. An elderly american Lady Harriet Egan contacted Castleblunden in the 1960s to reveal the story to a curious Sir William and Lady Pamela.

Yep, I have read about that in a book about the Blundens. Amazing how they could write somebody out of history. Something like that appears to have been done to my gggrrand mother Rose Blunden who again eloped at a young age around 1817.
