Notes:
The Orlebar sisters, Mary, Elisabeth (affectionately known within the family as Eliza) and Constantia, lived for more than 40 years at the Cot, having moved to Ecton in Northamptonshire after their father's death in 1765. The family was originally from Bedfordshire, and lived in Hinwick House, which was built between 1709 and 1714 for Richard Orlebar, their great cousin, on his marriage to Diana Astry. The Isted family purchased the Manor of Ecton in 1712, and developed the house and grounds throughout the 18th century. Rose was born in 1762, Charlotte in 1767, and Mary Orlebar in 1730, no doubt acting as traveling companion and chaperone for the two young Isted daughters.
