 Charles Wisner Barrell - Lord Oxford As Supervising Patron of Shakespeare's Theatrical Company
The Countess of Southampton would be one of the few persons in England most likely to know that the professional mask of the ranking Lord Chamberlain of the realm was "William Shakespeare." Hence her careful inclusion of this name in her ante-dated voucher to notify all interested parties that the account had been settled.
It should be abundantly apparent from the record here briefly given of the high mortality of Lords Chamberlain of the Household during the so-called heyday of Shakespearean stage enterprise, that the name under which the Bard's fellows carried on their operations is not subject to the narrow interpretation it has been accorded.
In other cases the use of the nobleman's license must have been about the beginning and end of his relations with the actor, although it would not be surprising in view of Elizabethan conditions if this use of his name brought to the nobleman an honorarium from the company.

 Saudi Aramco World : "Queen of the Desert": Lady Hester Stanhope   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Pitt loved her for lack of a daughter, English nobility loved her for her consummate ability as a gracious hostess, and a succession of men loved her for position and perhaps, even, for herself.
She was just recovering from being jilted by Lord Granville Leveson Gower when Pitt died, leaving her nothing but the deathbed wish that Parliament, in regard for his services, might see fit to bestow on his impoverished niece a modest livelihood (Parliament responded with a sumptuous—for then—pension of £1,200).
Lady Hester set sail for the Mediterranean accompanied by her private physician, Dr. Charles Meryon, and in Gibraltar added to the party a 20-year-old Englishman named Michael Bruce, who soon became her avowed lover, to the immense chagrin of Dr. Meryon, who fancied the role for himself.

Apart from these few cases of possible intermixing, it is significant that the only other volume I have located with a Charles Wesley autograph outside of the Charles Wesley family collection (besides the two books at City Road) is also at the John Rylands library in their larger Methodist Archives holdings.
It is possible that Charles gave some of his library to his younger son Samuel, as he had to Charles Jr., though the strained relationship between Charles and Samuel (due to the latter’s interest in Roman Catholicism) in the later years of Charles’s life make this unlikely.
The list of the Charles Wesley family collection which follows is in the order they are now shelved in the Rylands, which follows generally the order of the 1951 manuscript list.
