The Manor of Alderton 3 rd edition<br />
offspring of Elizabeth's marriages, Elizabeth Charlotte, who eventually married<br />
John Mogg of Farrington Gurney.<br />
Eleven years after Capt. White's death Elizabeth married the Rev Richard<br />
Jones <strong>and</strong> the marriage lasted 16 years, Richard dying in 1857. Elizabeth was<br />
61 years old at this time <strong>and</strong> looked likely to remain a widow for the rest of her<br />
life, but in 1866, when she was 74, she married the 38-year-old aristocrat, Lord<br />
Nigel Kennedy 456 . It may be wondered why Lord Kennedy married such an<br />
elderly lady - Elizabeth by this time was the second eldest surviving relation to<br />
Joseph, but her elder brother John already had seven children <strong>and</strong> there was<br />
no chance she would inherit the Neeld fortune. She may well have had a goodly<br />
estate, of course.<br />
Joseph’s youngest sister, Rosina Josephine, was born in Fulham in August 1807<br />
<strong>and</strong> married Colonel (later Major General) John Patton 457 in February 1830.<br />
He was the son of Admiral Patton of the Board of the Admiralty. Rosina <strong>and</strong><br />
Col. Patton were married at St Mary’s Church, Marylebone 11 th February 1830.<br />
comm<strong>and</strong> at Portsmouth in 1834 <strong>and</strong> Capt. John Townsend comm<strong>and</strong>ed in the<br />
Mediterranean in 1837-38. HMS Tyne was sold in 1862.<br />

According to HMS Tyne’s log (Public Record Office ADM/51/3511) Kearney White<br />
commissioned what was apparently a new ship - they spent the first few months<br />
putting the mast trees in place, <strong>and</strong> loading rope, canons, ballast <strong>and</strong> so on. The last<br />
entry made by James was 26 th March, 1826 <strong>and</strong> the next in the log is in October of<br />
that year, the ship under the comm<strong>and</strong> of Captain Grant. James must have died<br />
between these entries but the precise date has not been determined.<br />
