Lady Mary Butler

Lady Mary Butler

Lady Mary Butler (1689 – January 2, 1713) was the second daughter of the 2nd Duke of Ormonde and a maternal granddaughter of the 1st Duke of Beaufort. She was born at Kilkenny Castle in Ireland. She married John, 1st Earl of Ashburnham on October 21, 1710, and died two years later in childbirth. She was Jonathan Swift’s "greatest favourite"; he wrote "I am in excessive concern for her death, I hardly knew a more valuable person on all accounts."
