In December 1799 William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy were living in Dove Cottage at Grasmere. Wordsworth married Mary Hutchinson on October 2, 1802. The Sir William Lowther financial settlement helped to support a growing family and also allowed the Wordsworths to continue their generosity to various friends and men of letters, many of whom came to stay at Dove Cottage, sometimes for months on end.
