• Notes

  She and her elder sister Anne (who died October 1657) were painted as children, 1655–56, by Lely, who also painted diana at the time of her first marriage in 1667. Both portraits and the receipt for the latter (£29 10sh., including frame, August 1667) are still at Woburn, as are many of her letters to the Rev. John Thornton, the Russells' tutor there. See G. Scott Thomson, Life in a Noble Household, 1641–1700, pages 76, 111, 291, 293, where are other references to her. [1]
