Family notes for Samuel BODDINGTON MP and Grace ASHBURNER It was remarked as a true love story, Samuel having nearly snatched her off a ship
en route to India to join her father, in order to marry her (with her father's
consent, she being a minor). They had two children Grace Boddington, born
sometime between Feb 1792 and June 1797, and Samuel, according to some newspaper
reports, although others suggest more than two. [265]
The children of this marriage lived with the Morgan family for several years
following the breakup of the marriage. Several members of the Ashburner family were
live-in students of Richard Price Morgan's father, George Morgan. When the Morgans
left for America the Boddington children remained in the UK with their father. [309],[310]
