Notes - From F_Unknown_SophiaLonsdale_Reminiscences:
Of course we had a great many first cousins, children of my father’s one brother, and of my mother’s five sisters. Of these we saw most of the Reids. My Uncle Reid was often ordered abroad, first as an RE, then as Governor of Bermuda, of the Windward Islands, and last of Malta, and my mother continually helped with the Reid children. She used to call them her second family, and say they had taken more out of her than her own. The eldest lived with us for two or three years and several of the others came a good deal to our house. The eldest died unmarried. The others were Maria Hore, Sophy Hallewell, Libby Gambier, Charlotte Chamberlain, Grace Hall.
My Aunt Reid and my mother were much attached to each other. She was hardly so pretty as my mother, but was the cleverest of all those sisters, and a brilliant woman. Her husband was a keen solider, but an illustration of Henry 5th’s “In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humanity, but when the blast of war” etc etc. He had a grave face, but his rare smile was a sweet one. Only this week I was told of the improvements to the Bermudas he had brought, and not very long ago I was told his “Law of Storms” had saved a good many ships.
My Aunt Reid must have led an uneasy life, crossing and re-crossing the Atlantic, sometimes to bring a girl to school, and then return to her husband. It was a trouble to her she had no son. The daughters had not much of either their father’s or their mother’s talents. My dear cousin, Libby Gambier [nee Reid], had a little of her mother’s fun and agreeableness.
