| - Susan Pellew (née Frowde, Lady Exmouth; 1756–1837) was the wife of Edward Pellew, 1st Viscount Exmouth. Susan Frowde was born in East Knoyle in Wiltshire in 1756, the daughter of James Frowde Esq., a local gentleman. She met Pellew in 1782 and they married on 28 May 1783 when she was aged eighteen and he twenty-six. The couple lived in Truro, Cornwall, for a short period after their marriage before moving to New Road in Flushing, close to Falmouth where Susan's brother-in-law was Collector of Customs. Susan and her husband had six children:
* Emma Mary Pellew (18 January 1785 – March 1835)
* Pownoll Bastard Pellew, later 2nd Viscount Exmouth (1 July 1786 – 2 December 1833)
* Julia Pellew (28 November 1787 – 26 December 1831)
* Fleetwood Broughton Reynolds Pellew, later an admiral and knight (13 December 1789 – 28 July 1861)
* George Pellew, Dean of Norwich (3 April 1793 – 13 October 1866)
* Edward William Pellew, later a minister (3 November 1799 – 29 August 1869) After Pellew was knighted for defeating the French frigate Cléopâtre in the action of 18 June 1793, King George III awarded Susan a £150 annuity from the Privy Purse to cover additional household expenses associated with her husband's new title. Susan later became Lady Exmouth, when Pellew was made Baron Exmouth of Canonteign in 1814. In 1797, as her husband's fame increased following the action of 13 January 1797, when Pellew's frigate HMS Indefatigable and her consort HMS Amazon defeated the French 74-gun ship Droits de l'Homme, Susan and the family moved from their terraced house in Flushing to the rented Trefusis Manor. Susan was a devoted wife who supported her husband's naval career, managed their estate and raised their family during his absences at sea; however, she vehemently opposed his political ambitions and when he was appointed MP for Barnstaple in 1802 she refused to accompany him to London. When Pellew was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the East Indies Station in 1805, Susan chose to remain in England with her family. Though the couple were apart for five years, they maintained a regular correspondence. While Pellew was serving in the East Indies, Susan took in a young woman in reduced circumstances, Jane Smith, who came to regard Susan and Pellew as her adopted parents. In 1804 Susan bought the family's first property, Hampton House in Plymouth. She lived there until 1811 when she sold the property to the Reverend Robert Hawker. In 1812 Susan purchased two new properties for the family: Canonteign House, where her eldest son Pownoll lived with his wife Eliza, and West Cliffe House (now Bitton House) in Teignmouth where she and her husband resided after his retirement, with various children and grandchildren, until his death in 1833. Susan disapproved of the posthumous biography of Pellew, commissioned by his brother Samuel and written by Edward Osler, and she burned the majority of her husband's personal correspondence. Susan Pellew died on 29 October 1837 at the age of eighty-one, four years after her husband, and is buried with him at Christow in Devon. (en)
