Lady Caroline Dawson,

Countess of Portarlington

LADY CAROLINE DAWSON was the fifth daughter of Lord Bute, and had married on 1st January of this same year (1778) John, eldest son of Viscount Carlow, and she and her husband were then living with his father at Dawson Court, Queen’s County. Mrs. Delany thus describes her shortly before her marriage: “Lady Caroline is a genius in painting and musick, and has made a great progress in both; she has a clear, sweet voice, under good management, and less of the yell than most of her contemporary. She is extremely good-humored and sensible, but is one in whom many pleasing accomplishments are a little hurt by an awkward habit: she has no but a of a laugh at whatever is said or that she says herself.”

She was the pivot on which most of the affections of her own family were centered. At this time Lady Caroline was a bride of a few months’ standing. and Louisa, her youngest and favorite sister, was only twenty-one years old.

The above description was gleaned from the writings between Lady Louisa Stewart and her sister Caroline Dawson, Countess of Portarlington and others and edited by Mrs. Godfrey Clark; this information is in Clark’s book and was published 1895-1898. Information regarding Caroline Dawson was obtained from Laois Education Center and the National Library of Ireland Catalogue. There is extensive additional biographical information available regarding Caroline Dawson but was not included in this listing.
