She married John Hemphill in 1807 and they had five children. The youngest of their children was the first Baron Hemphill.Her 1846 novel Lionel Deerhurst, was edited by the Countess Marguerite Blessington. Hemphill is credited with three novels which she eventually published under her own name. Although it is suspected that there may be other unattributed works.
