  No Issue She was 20 years old and "under age" (English Law) when she married. Her father was dead before his daughter's wedding. In March the following year Sarah returned briefly to the home of her mother the Dowager and then eloped with Johm Scawen with whom she had entered "an adulterous conversation" and the couple went to France and Naples. A petition for Divorce was presented to Parliament in 1776 by Charles Horneck her husband. The bill was given Royal Consent later that year. The Divorce was one of only 318 that were obtained by Act of Parliament ( the only way to get in Divorce in the late 18th century). One of the Trustees of the Divorce Settlement was Augustus Keppel (Admiral?) who was involved in a Court Martial a few years later. He could be Sarah Keppel's uncle
