Lady Selina Frances Rawdon (1759-1827) was the youngest daughter of John Rawdon, 1st Earl of Moira and his third wife Lady Elizabeth Hastings, the eldest daughter of Theophilus, 9th Earl of Huntingdon, (who had inherited the barony of Hastings on the death of her brother, Francis, 10th Earl of Huntingdon). In 1779 she married George Forbes, 6th Earl of Granard (1760-1837) who she bore nine children.

Lady Selina Shirley (1707-1791) was the daughter of the 2nd Earl Ferrers. She married Theophilus, 9th Earl of Huntingdon and her daughter Elizabeth married Sir John Rawdon, 1st Earl of Moira. After her husband's death in 1749, she devoted herself to Methodism. She is credited with building sixty four chapels and founded a Calvinistic branch of the religion known as 'the Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion'.
