Susanna Wesley

SURVIVORS AND DESCENDANTS. 217
Deborah Ellison also married a French refugee, a
ilk- weaver named Pierre Collett; and one of her
daughters became the wife of a prominent Wesleyan,
Dr. Byam.
Richard Anuesley Ellison died when only twentyseven,
leaving two daughters. The eldest of them
married Mr. Voysey of the King's House, Salisbury,
and became the mother of two sons and two
daughters. The elder son died unmarried; the
elder daughter married the Comte de Fauconpret de
Thulus, a French savant of great reputation, who,
during his exile in this country, translated all Sir
Walter Scott's novels into French. On the accession
of Louis Philippe in 1830, he returned with his wife
to France, where he held a high position in the University
of Paris. Their home was at Fontainebleau,
where they gathered round them many of the choice
spirits of the day, and there M. de Fauconpret died in
1842. His widow died at Hackney in the summer of
1868. Her younger
sister was twice married, first to
Mr. Edlin, and secondly to Mr. Bristow. Two of her
sons and her three daughters by her first husband are
all living, and she herself has died whilst this work has
been passing through the press. Mrs. Ellison's youngest
grandson, Annesley Voysey, married and became the
father of Henry Voysey, an architect of some note,
Richard Voysey, who took orders in the Church of
England, and the Rev. Charles Voysey, whose career
is well known. No one in this branch of the family
has ever been deficient in brain power, or in the
courage to maintain his or her own opinions.
Hetty Wesley, Mrs. Wright, was in very poor
health at the time of her mother's death; she was
worn out by what she endured at the hands of her
