Arabella (Duncan) Ludlow (1756-1803)

She was just a baby and was out with her nurse when her family home on Queen Street/Hanover Square was burned to the ground in 1757 along with her mother and all her siblings (who were all suffering from smallpox) except for her elder sister, Frances. Frances was encouraged by a British officer, Captain Miller, to leap from an upper floor window, she was saved but, "he never recovered from the shock his frame received in sustaining her". Some of the servants who jumped weren't so lucky and were impaled on the iron railings. Arabella and her father then lived with Frances and her new husband (and cousin), George Duncan Ludlow. Arabella would marry George's younger half-brother. They had eleven children of whom five (listed) lived to adulthood.
