On 28 August 1767, she was created Baroness Greenwich (a nod to her deceased father's title, Duke of Greenwich) in her own right, with a special remainder to her male issue by Townshend.

Nearly all peerages used to be created with remainder to the male issue. What's special about this one? —Tamfang (talk) 19:14, 2 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Oh, I see — without the special remainder, the titles would have passed to the Duke as issue of her earlier marriage. —Tamfang (talk) 05:57, 23 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
