Note: Lord George Gordon Byron "6th Lord Byron" associated with his half-sister Augusta Byron Leigh, daughter of their father John "Mad Jack" Byron's marriage to Amelia D'Arcy, who divorced her first husband, the Marquis of Carmarthen (later Duke of Leeds; see below) in 1779 to marry Jack. Amelia then died 27 JAN 1784 from consumption thought to have been brought on by accompanying Jack on a hunt too soon after giving birth to their daughter. George's mother was Catherine Gordon, Jack Byron's second wife, and daughter of George Gordon, 12th Laird of Gight (d.1779) & Catherine Innes. Byron associated with Caroline Lamb, below. Byron associated with Claire Clairmont and had issue: (1) (by Claire) Allegra Alba Byron, b.JAN 1817 & d.1822. (2) (by Augusta) Elizabeth Medora Leigh, b.APR 15 1814 & d.AUG 28 1849. Medora associated with her brother-in-law, Henry Trevanion (he was married to her half-sister, Georgina Leigh, daughter of Augusta and George Leigh) and had issue. She then m.AUG 23 1846 to Jean-Louis Taillefer and had issue: (2.1) (by Henry) Marie Violette Trevanion, b.MAY 19 1834 in Morlaix. She becomes a nun "Sister St.Hilaire" in 1856. She died 1873. (2.2) (by Jean-Louis) Elie Taillefer, b.JAN 27 1846 & d.29 JAN 1900. sources: "Byron's Daughter: A Biography Of Elizabeth Medora Leigh" by Catherine Turney; "The Oxford Companion to English Literature" by Margaret Drabble & the Oxford University Press; "Medora Leigh: A History & Autobiography" by C.Mackay & E.M.Leigh. Evidence of Medora's paternity is as follows: (*) She must have been concieved in July of 1813. Augusta was in London with Byron at that time, attempting to secure a loan. She had left her husband, George, in 1811 after he was disgraced when he was caught skimming money from sales of the horses of his patron, the Prince of Wales. Augusta spent that Christmas with Byron at Newstead Abbey, with her children but sans her husband. (*) Byron told Lady Melbourne he was in a "scrape", and that he'd had a love affair in the summer of 1813 that left him deeply troubled. Few things worried Byron who was a Lord, a legislator, a satirist and a crack shot. He implied in his letters that if this relationship was publicly admitted it would be so socially unacceptable that he and Lady Melbourne would have to discontinue their friendship and correspondence, although, in most circumstances, he did not really care about "society" or what it considered acceptable behaviour. He continued to refer to this problem in letters for over a year - until late in 1814. (*) After Medora's birth, Byron told Lady Melbourne when she inquired whether the danger in his ill-starred romance was worth it: "Oh, but it is worthwhile, I cannot tell you why, and it is not an Ape, and if it is, it must be my fault." -- it was a common superstition at the time that children born of incest resembled apes. (*) Byron's wife certainly believed Medora was her husband's, and even introduced her to her daughter Ada as her half-sister. Annabella exonerated herself for having walked out on him after a year of marriage on the grounds that she believed that he had slept with Augusta. Annabella also claimed that Byron had told her that Medora was his, saying "Do you know that is my child?" He treated his sister with a "familiarity" that greatly troubled his wife, leaving her, in her own words, "shocked & astonished". Annabella confronted Byron about Augusta, but he warned her that "he had worn out all the ordinary forms of sin, and longed for a new vice". (*) Caroline Lamb alleged Byron had told her about the affair with his sister "in the flush of passion". (*) During a holiday spent at the Byron family mansion, Newstead Abbey, near Nottingham, Byron and Augusta carved their names in the bark of a tree - a singularly romantic action, but not irrefutable evidence for carnal connection. (*) In 1818, Byron wrote to his friend Thomas Moore, consoling him for the death of Moore's child, and mentioning "I know how to feel with you because I am quite wrapped up in my own children. Besides my little legitimate [Ada] I have made unto myself an illegitimate since [Allegra], to say nothing of one before." He proudly told other friends in 1813 that he was madly in love with a girl, they were having a baby, and if it was a girl it would be named "Medora". (*) Medora was born the next spring, and named for the heroine in one of Byron's most popular poems, "The Corsair", which was a tale of incestous love. (*) John Hobhouse, a close friend of Byron's, was contacted by the adult Medora. He wrote of her: "Elizabeth Medora Leigh, stating herself to be the child of Byron and starving -- some imposter, I hope." (*) Medora was first told of the circumstances of her conception by her elder sister, Georgiana, who had spent many happy holidays with Byron and Augusta as a child, and who doubtless witnessed their "familiarity". This assertion was backed up by Medora's brother-in-law, Henry Trevanion, who had been Augusta's lover. (*) Medora wrote to her mother in August of 1843: "Since I was made to understand you could never have loved me, the child of your guilt...now I can only beg you, by the memory of my father, the brother to whom you, and the children you love & which by my destitution owe all." (*) She then wrote to the Duke of Leeds, saying that Lady Byron had backed up Georgiana and Henry's statements: "of the infamy of my mother, once so deeply loved, that I owed my birth to incest & adultery." (*) Ada, Byron's legitimate daughter, was aware of Medora's paternity, and wrote to her mother Annabella: "I am not in the least astonished. In fact, you merely confirm what I for years and years had scarcely a doubt about." Medora herself wrote of Ada that "I was made to feel that I was to be Ada's sister at all times, which I was really." (*) Augusta Leigh wrote in 1819 to her brother during his exile: "I have never ceased nor can I cease to feel for you a moment that perfect and boundless attachment that bound and binds me to you -- which renders me utterly incapable of real love for any other human being...I repent of nothing except that accursed marriage -- and your refusing to continue to love me as you had loved me...it is heart-breaking to think of our long separation, and I am sure more than punishment for all our sins...They say absence destroys weak passions and confirms strong ones. Alas! Mine for you is the union of all passions and all affections." (*) In his letters back to her, Byron usually singled out Medora when he asked for news of her children. "Pray remember me to the babes and tell me of little Da," he wrote to her in 1816 from Venice, using Medora's babyhood nickname. Another time, not long after his departure from England, he asked with concern about Medora and requested information about her. (*) In a case like this, it is almost useless to compare physical appearances, for if Medora was not Byron's daughter, she was certainly his niece and his first cousin once removed, besides. But Medora *did* have a pronounced resemblance to Byron; she inherited her mother's dark hair instead of his chestnut, but she poccessed the large, luminous Byronic eyes. Especially in the lower half of her face her appearance echoed his, and comparisions of their portraits show they had nearly identical ears. Through his legitimate daughter, Ada, Byron had one granddaughter, Anne Isabella King-Noel, Baroness Wentworth, who was b.22 Sep 1837, London & d.15 Dec 1917, Egypt. Anne m.8 JUN 1869 to Wilfrid Scawen Blunt (b.17 Aug 1840, son of Francis Blunt) & had issue: (1) Judith Anne Dorothea Blunt, Baroness Wentworth, b.6 Feb 1873 & d.10 Sep 1922.
