She succeeded to the title of 3rd Baroness Braye [E., 1529] on 27 August 1839, suo jure, after proving her entitlement to the title, bringing the title out of abeyance.

Research NOtes

Otway-Cave was one of the coheirs of the barony of Braye, which had been abeyant since the death of the second Baron Braye in 1557. The second baron, who had no children, was the only son of the first baron, so the title fell into abeyance among his six sisters and their heirs. Otway-Cave was the sole heir of the second sister, Elizabeth, who had married Sir Ralph Verney of Middle Claydon.^[2][3]
