Anne Oglethorpe : ウィキペディア英語版 | Anne Oglethorpe Anne Henrietta Oglethorpe (1683-1756), baptized An Harath, was a Jacobite agent who worked to restore James II to the throne after he was deposed by the Glorious Revolution. Following the death of James II in 1701, she continued her efforts on behalf of James III, the Old Pretender, for the remainder of her life.〔Ettinger, ''James Edward Oglethorpe'', 19, 50, 284-85.〕 ==Family History== Anne Oglethorpe’s mother, Eleanor Oglethorpe, was an employee of the royal household during the reigns of Charles II and James II; she followed James II to France, where he was exiled after the Glorious Revolution. Anne’s father, Theophilus Oglethorpe, also offered his service to James, but as a Protestant he was eventually sidelined. Eleanor and Theophilus returned to Westbrook, their estate outside London, where they remained secretly and actively in the service of the Jacobite cause. Anne was the only daughter to remain with her parents in England; her three sisters lived in France after the revolution and married into French royalty. Anne assisted her mother in raising James Edward Oglethorpe at Westbrook. He later became a reformer in Parliament, the founder of the Georgia Colony, and a prominent figure among London intellectuals in the Age of Johnson. Anne moved to Europe when James was grown. She was made Countess of Oglethorpe by James III.〔Ettinger, ''James Edward Oglethorpe'', 77.〕
