His Children
In all of the various references to Leigh Hunt, including his autobiography, little mention is made of his family but he did manage to find time among his literary pursuits to get married and produce a large family. In 1809, he married Marianne Kent (whose parents were Thomas and Ann). Over the next 20 years they had ten children: Thornton (1810-73), John Horatio Leigh (1812-46), Mary Florimel Leigh (1813-49), Swinburne Percy Leigh (1816-27), Percy Bysshe Shelley Leigh (1817-99), Henry Sylvan Leigh (1819-?), Vincent Leigh (1823-52), Julia Trelawney Leigh (1826-?), Jacyntha Leigh (1828-1914), and Arrabella Leigh (1829-30).
