Notes |
- Sister of Edward Gibbon Snr of Buriton, Hampshire and the aunt of Edward Gibbon
? "The Autobigraphies of Edward Gibbon" by Edward Gibbon, J. Murray, 1896, page 21: "Of my two wealthy aunts on the father's side, Hester persevered in a life of celibacy, while Catherine became the wife of Mr. Edward Elliston, a Captain in the service of the East India Company, whom my grandfather styles his nephew in his Will. Both Mr. and Mrs. Elliston were dead before the date of my birth, or at least of my memory, and their only daughter and heiress will be mentioned in her proper place. These two Ladies are described by Mr. Law under the names of Flavia and Miranda, the Pagan and Christian sister. The sins of Flavia, which excluded her from the hope of salvation, may not appear to our carnal apprehension of so black a dye. Her temper was gay and lively; she followed the fashion in her dress, and indulged her taste for company and public amusements; but her expence was regulated by economy: she practised the decencies of Religion, nor is she accused of neglecting the essential duties of a wife or a mother."
