Thomas Whitby and Mabella Turton, in 1801 or 1802 The marriage was a very happy one, the young couple living with Admiral Cornwallis at Newlands. Unfortunately 6 years later Captain John Whitby died leaving his young wife and baby daughter in the care of the Admiral. They continued to live with him until his death in 1819. In his will he left his entire fortune to Mrs. Whitby in trust for her daughter Theresa, which naturally led to speculation that their relationship had been more than platonic, in spite of the vast age difference. Anna Whitby continued to live at Newlands and used the inheritance to buy further large tracts of the parish, having bought the manors of Milford Barnes and Milford Montagu in 1810 and that of Milford Baddesley in 1819. By 1844, the tithe award shows her to be the owner of about a third of Milford, with 1400 acres there and 500 more in Downton. She had also increased the size of Newlands from 60 acres to 200.
In his will the Admiral also gave directions that he was to be buried by the side of his friend John Whitby, without a tombstone or memorial of any kind. This last injunction Mrs. Whitby obeyed to the letter. Her daughter Theresa however ignored it, for she not only built the family vault to which she caused the coffins of her parents and the Admiral to be transferred, but she also erected the large memorial in the church. Theresa had married the Hon. Frederick West and under the terms of her will she instructed her son Col. William West to add the surname Cornwallis and to be known as Cornwallis-West although there was no actual relationship between the Wests and the Cornwallises. Colonel Wm. Cornwallis-West lived mainly at Ruthin Castle in N. Wales and his son Major George Cornwallis-West married at the age of 26 in 1900 Lady Randolph thus becoming Winston Churchill’s stepfather. They were divorced in 1913.² After her husband died in 1806 she continued to live at Newlands with Admiral Cornwallis until his death in 1819.
