==Early life and family==
Arabella Fitzmaurice was born in County Kerry, the second daughter of Thomas FitzMaurice, 1st Earl of Kerry, and Anna Petty (daughter of Sir William Petty). As a teenager she ran a basic medical dispensary for the tenants on her father's estate.〔 She married Colonel Arthur Denny, M.P. for Kerry, on 26 August 1727. Lady Arabella was widowed at the age of thirty-five. A nephew of Arabella Denny was William Petty, who became Prime Minister of Great Britain.〔Butler, Beatrice Bayley.

Lady Arabella lived at Peafield Cliff House (now Lios an Uisce/Lisnaskea House), in Blackrock, County Dublin where John Wesley, who founded and led the Methodist Church, visited her in 1783.〔Dudley Levistone-Cooney, ''The Methodists in Ireland'', a short history.
