The arms are those of Francis, 1st Earl Annesley, born in 1740. He married in 1766, Mary, daughter of Richard Grove, who brought him a fortune of 40,000. She died in 1791 and "he subsequently went through the marriage ceremony at Mountpanther, co. Down, with a woman who was already married, viz. Sophia Connor, wife of one of his gate keepers. By her (besides a son born before) he had two sons born after this ceremony, both of whom, as well as their mother, assumed the rank to which a legitimate marriage would have entitled them" (Complete Peerage). The earl died in 1802 and the so-called Countess died in Paris about 1852.
