Augustus Richard born 10.7.1776, younger son of Brinsley Butler, 2nd Earl of Lanesborough and his wife Lady Jane Rochfort. His father died 24.1.1779 and his mother married John King at St Chad, Shrewsbury on 4.1.1790 where Augustus was a witness. On 8.3.1792 he married Mary daughter and heiress of Sir John Danvers of Swithland, Leics and his wife Mary, daughter of Joel Watson of Clapham. He took a loan of £11,000 in 1792 from Morland and Hammersley bankers of Pall Mall (Nat Arch C12/257/1). His father-in-law died in September 1796 (making his will 3 days after Butler received Royal Assent to change his name to Danvers and dying shortly afterwards). From 1798 to 1818 Butler Danvers was involved in some 20 Chancery suits involving his mother-in-law, her cousins the Thorntons of Clapham, his stepfather King, his mother, the bankers Hammersley and Morland, the Rev John Disney as executor for someone involved in the loan, and several of King's guests that Godwin noted in his diary, such as Dr James Stevenson and his mistress Mrs Harriet Osborn, Mrs Catherine Penny and Major Robert D'Ervall. No doubt some of these were 'friendly' suits. His mother-in-law died in 1800 and his wife on 10.5.1802, in her will dated 5.4.1802 she said she was living separate from her husband and made her cousin Henry Thornton (of Clapham sect fame) her executor. She had two sons by Butler, the older eventually became 5th Earl of Lanesborough, the younger was born 5.8.1798 and died young. Godwin met her with her husband on 25.1.1797 but on 1.2.1798 and thereafter met him only with miss Sturt . He married Eliza Bizarre (this odd second name I have found only in Burke's Peerage) daughter of Humphrey Sturt (History of Parliament) on 24.5.1802 and they had eight children before she died on 18.4.1811. Butler Danvers had five sisters, the youngest Sophia married Marquis Lewis Marescotti in 1787. (See 12.6.1802 and 24.7.1802 above; EBD was Elizabeth Butler Danvers, SM Sophia Marescotti, who was also probably Mariscotti rather than her husband, and Lanesboro/ugh was probably Lady Lanesborough rather than her eldest son Lord L). Thomas Holcroft in his diary (Hazlitt's Works vol 3) mentioned being nearly run over on his way to visit King in 1799 by Danvers and his mistress in a curricle. King asked Holcroft why he didn't visit more often like his friend Godwin. Holcroft couldn't believe that Godwin went there often but Godwin's diary shows King was right (and Godwin perhaps reluctant to tell Holcroft)
