Which Thomas Yarbrough is Henrietta a daughter of and should we create a profile ? Possibly Yarborough-453 111. Yarburgh. Henrietta Yarborough, one of Queen Marie's Maids of Honor, was a daughter of Sir Thomas Yarborough, of Snaiths, Yorkshire, by Henrietta Maria (Blague), once Maid of Honor to Queen Catherine. On December 9, 1686, Henrietta was granted £2,000 as a marriage portion (CTB, 1685-89, p. 1054) and dismissed. Evidently there had been a scandal. On January 25, 1687, Thomas Maule wrote to Etherege, "poor Robin Sayers . . . has blown . . . Mrs. Yarburgh into the north, there to lead apes in hell [the fabled consequence of dying an old maid]; for she has left the Court, and her Court portion is paid without any obligation of marrying" (Letters, p. 274). Eventually she married Sir Marmaduke Wyvill, Bart. (Mark Noble, Biographical History, 1806, I, 360).Columbus : Ohio State University Press, c1976 xxiii, 304 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.
