message: Mary is a direct ancestor of the present queen. The queen mother's maiden name was Bowes-Lyon. Shouldn't this be mentioned?
The beautiful Bowes estate (painted by Turner) is at Gibside, now in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear. The queen mother donated  it to the National Trust. 
As well as the play, the countess also wrote her extraordinary Confessions (1793)
Incidentally, where is this 'north country' the article speaks of. I think Stoney was apprehended at Streatlam Castle in County Durham.

message: I've just read the Wikipedia entry for her second husband https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Robinson_Stoney, and I'm a little confused.
1.  His page says the divorced was obtained 2 March 1789, while this page says it was still pending at her death in 1800.
2.  His page says he was the widower of Hannah Newton, while this page says her lover George Gray was the widower of Hannah Newton.  Surely both can't be true?
3.  This page says that in August 1777, Mary became engaged to George Gray and gave birth to a daughter.  Also that this daughter was born while married to Andrew Stoney, whom Mary had just met that same summer, and before marrying him she had time to write a pre-nup protecting her income.  To make sense, that would all have had to happen that same month, which is possible, but I'm skeptical.  The wedding date must be available, but it isn't listed.
