Lady Anne Hamilton, was born in November 1738, the only daughter of James Hamilton, 5th Duke of Hamilton, and his third wife, Anne Spencer, a daughter and co-heir of Edward Spencer, of Rendlesham, Suffolk.[1];[2]
She married 16 November 1761, at Easton, Suffolk, Arthur Chichester, 5th Earl and later 1st Marquess of Donegall, son of Hon. John Chichester and Elizabeth Newdegate, and nephew and heir of Arthur Chichester, 4th Earl of Donegall.

Lady Anne died at Bath on 11 November 1780 after a long illness, and was buried on 22 November 1780 at St Michael's, Lichfield.[7]
