Sir Francis Beaufort papers addenda
Manuscripts
One box of correspondence, documents, photographs, poems and wills; arranged chronologically (1797-1858), FBA 1-28. Notable correspondents include: Daniel Augustus Beaufort (son of Sir Francis), Harriet Henrietta Beaufort, Lady Honora Beaufort, Charles Sneyd Edgeworth, Frances Anne Edgeworth, Maria Edgeworth, Archer Thomas Upton, and Lestock P. Wilson. Also included are poems by Maria Edgeworth, one of which is written to Sir Philip Crampton, Surgeon General of the Forces of Ireland. The photographs are mainly of Edgeworthstown House, the Edgeworth family home in Co. Longford, Ireland. The wills and legal documents include the will of Daniel Augustus Beaufort (father of Sir Francis), an autograph 1843 codicil by Sir Francis and copies of various other wills. Apparently, there was a dispute between the Beaufort and Edgeworth families concerning the wills and codicils of Sir Francis, who died in 1857, and his second wife, Lady Honora, who died in 1858. Some of the correspondence and the legal memorandum, notes and opinions relate to this dispute and involve family members and lawyers.
