Notities over Mary WHARTON

Daughter and heir of Philip Wharton of Goldsborough Hall, North Yorkshire.

On 10 November 1690, Mary was lured outside from the home she shared with her great aunt on Great Queen Street, Westminster, where the three men forced her into a six-horse coach and took her off to the coachman's house. There, she was forcibly married to James Campbell, without her consent, and without the presence of her legal guardian Robert Byerley, the son of her great aunt. By order of the Lord Chief Justice, Mary was returned to her guardian within two days, to whom she was wed two years later. Sir John was then arrested and indicted for the abduction on 11 December, convicted by jury, and hanged at Tyburn on 23 December 1690. Reputedly a "nasty piece of work", Johnston had previously been involved in a similar elopement with a Miss Magrath in County Clare, Ireland and had subsequently been imprisoned in Dublin as a debtor. He was also alleged to have committed rape in Utrecht.

The marriage was annulled on 20 December 1690 by the Parliament of England, which passed a personal Act of Parliament: the Mary Wharton and James Campbell marriage annulment Act .

In 1692, Mary was married to her guardian, Robert Byerley. She died in 1727, having had two sons and three daughters.
