Caroline Campbell was their daughter. She died in 1789.

Lady Ailesbury had helped raise the daughter of Mrs. Izard (Lady William Campbell), from South Carolina, who Walpole commemorated in Hieroglyphic Tales and who Anne Damer travelled with repeatedly. She died on January 12, 1789 at Conway’s town house of tuberculosis, eliciting the following poem from Damer’s father, entitled “Elegy on the Death of Miss Caroline Campbell”:
Since ‘tis the will of all-disposing heaven,
To seize the boon its kinder hand had given;
Whether on earth thy friendly spirit rove,
Midst the once happy partners of thy love;
(Scenes where virtues reign’d, thy talents shone,
And fond affection made each heart thy own;)
Or, bounding swift, has wing’d its airy flight
To the pure regions of eternal light.
