Collection Information
In 1710, the year after her mother’s death, Ann clandestinely married her lover Captain Patrick Heron. According to a memoir written in 1793 by his granddaughter from his second marriage, a Mrs. Coghlan, the couple eloped to Galloway where Patrick’s father lived. Ann’s father did not approve of Patrick and had tried very hard to prevent the marriage. She wrote to her father asking forgiveness, and after much convincing John Vining asked them to return to Portsmouth after which he would give them her inheritance which included a “handsome fortune” as well as “Vicar’s Hill, a delightful seat in the New Forest near Lymington”
