Catalogue Note
The arms are those of Pitt with Wilkinson in pretence for Thomas Pitt, 1st Baron Camelford (1737-1793), a son of Thomas Pitt (1705?-1761) of Boconnoc, Cornwall, whose younger brother was William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham (1708-1778). Camelford, a Whig politician and art connoisseur, was married in 1771 to Anne (d. 1803), younger daughter and coheiress of Pinckney Wilkinson, a wealthy merchant of Hanover Square and sometime MP for Old Sarum. By her he had two children, Thomas (1775-1804), a naval officer who was killed in a duel, and Anne (d. 1864) who in 1792 married William Wyndham Grenville, 1st Baron Grenville (1759-1834).
