Her first marriage was to Francis Wyndham but when widowed in 1688, she married Sir John Thompson, 1st Baron Haversham (1648-1710), an English politician, with whom she had at least eleven children.

Between 1699 and 1701, he was Lord of the Admiralty. Lady Frances Haversham died in March 1705. Her son Maurice succeeded as 2nd Baron Haversham after his father’s death in November 1710. He entered the House of Lords, between 1717 and 1718 he was a Treasurer of Excise. He married twice, with at least two daughters from his first marriage, but having no sons, after his death in April 1745, his titles died with him.

Portrait de Shah Shuja (1616 – 1661)Inde, début du XVIIIe siècleMiniature peinte à la gouache rehaussée d'or, montée en page d'album, avec des marges beiges animées de rinceaux fleuris et feuillages à l'or. Au verso, quatrain à l'encre noire en "nasta'liq". 39 x 24,5cm la feuille 18,5 x 10 cm la scène Inscriptions : Au recto : Shuja Au verso : versets poétiques de Jami, extraits de Yusuf-o Zulaykha, signé faqir mir ‘ali - ‘The poor Mir ‘Ali’ Une note en nasta'liq noir dans la marge inférieure identifie le personnage comme le prince Shah Shuja (23 juin 1616 - 7 février 1661), second fils de Shah Jahan et de Mumtaz Mahal, défait par ses frères lors de la lutte pour le trône de l’Empire moghol. Cette peinture est à rapprocher d'un beau portrait en pied, conservé à la Bodleian Library, réalisé dans l'atelier impérial vers 1650. Dans les deux peintures, le prince tient une épée et un chasse-mouche, mais son jama est différent et son arme sont différentes. Les traits du visage sont définis plus catégoriquement ici, aux dépens du naturalisme antérieur, et le halo est plus épais. Son poignard est également différent puisque que le katar a été remplacé par un pesh-kabz à poignée en forme de tête de bélier. Prince Shah Shuja’ (1616 – 1661), India, early 18th century Opaque pigment enhanced with gold, Identified by name in the inscription written in the lower margin, the painting is a close adaptation of a portrait made in the imperial workshop about 1650 (Bodleian Library, Ouseley Add. 173, p. 80). Here, the prince holds a sword and flywhisk, and wears an opaque yellow jama. The facial features are defined more emphatically at the expense of earlier naturalism, and the halo is thicker. The original katar has been replaced by a ram ivory-hilted pesh-kabz.Provenance : Collection particulière française - Sotheby’s, 11 avril 1971, n°30 - Collection John ou William Robert Dent (m. 1877), respectivement lieutenant britannique en poste au Bengale entre 1782 et 1792, et fonctionnaire de la East India Company au Patma entre 1776 et 1796.
