The follow note is stored against Mary Jane Nugent Leroux de Prinssay record:
Mary Plunkett was the daughter of Major James Plunkett; and the novelist and translator Elizabeth Gunning. Her maternal grandfather was General Gunning; who was also married to a novelist. Elizabeth and her sisters were noted court beauties; and Elizabeth Gunning was at one time two-timing the heirs of the Dukes of Marlborough and Argyll; encouraged by her mother. A great scandal ensued which fascinated the English press; and Elizabeth finished by marrying the impoverished Irish army officer Plunkett. Both the Plunketts and the Gunnings had estates in Roscommon in Ireland; and this explains the mention of Strokestown in Roscommon. Mary was married firstly to Thomas Defries of Madras; by whom she had one daughter; Frances Maria; who married William Dease of Westmeath in ireland; a nephew of the Earl of Fingall whose family name was also Plunkett. Mary's second French husband was Philippe Leroux de Prinssay; from northern France. Mary's third Christian name - Nugent - probably indicates a family link to the influential Irish Catholic noble family. Another Nugent of Irish descent is buried in Montmartre cemetery.
