It's interesting that Thomasin (in her mid-thirties) was married just a few months after she inherited her Aunt Elizabeth's estate. Thomasin was illegitimate herself and had 2 illegitimate daughters to support. She can't have been considered much of a catch before that but I hope she had a happy marriage anyway.
