Memoirs of Mrs Coghlan. [Before 31st October 1793] Captain B****** (age 36), my [Margaret Maria Moncrieffe (age 30)] new lover, was every way calculated to obliterate the impression I might have received from former admirers, and to sooth the affliction which I felt for the loss of my dear and beloved child. From him I have uniformly experienced every kindness that the tenderest affection could bestow. The roving habits of a military life did not admit any permanent attachment of this nature; but it is sufficiently flattering to me, that Mr. B****** never omitted an occasion of seeking my society.

The fruits of our connection are two sons, both now living, and both happy under the protection of their worthy parent, who is himself lately united in marriage with a lady who, I am told, possesses every virtue and every necessary accomplishment to secure his happiness, and with whom I ardently wish him a continuation of all the blessings and enjoyments which he fo eminently deserves. Let me, however, indulge the hope, without withing to ftrew the thorns of jealoufy or discontent on ber bridal pillow, that he will never utterly neglect his former friend, the mother of his children, Humanity, and friend- fhip for others, are not uncongenial with conju- gal fidelity, and if I am rightly informed of Lady A——'s charaéter, she is not the woman to encourage a dereliction of those duties. The honourable connection that Mr. B****** has formed is incompatible with the union that once subsisted between us, and if previous thereto there had been any chasm in that union, it was because his fortune could not keep pace with my former extravagance.

I [his son] A Hervey (age 15) presented for the appointment of [?] by his Excellency the Earl of Hardwicke (age 48) do make oath and swear that I have caused search to be made for a Parish register whereby to ascertain my age but am unable to produce the same and further I make oath and swear that from the information of my parents [Andrew Barnard (age 49) and Margaret Maria Moncrieffe (age 43)] and other relations which information I verily believe to be true that I was born in the parish of St George Fields in the County of Surrey on the 25th Day Sept in the year 1790 and that I am not at this time under the age of fifteen or above Twenty Two years. Witness my Hand this 19th Day of February in the our Lord 1806. Andrew Harvey.
