Help - Who is Lady Amherst?

[fcch]

I know, ... to most of us, it's a Pheasant, ... but I'm doing a bit of research and I'd like to know Who is (was) Lady Amherst ???

Thanx!

[William Fitzgerald]

Google LADY AMHERST--Commerates Sarah Amherst wife of Wm Pitt Amherst Gov General of Bengal who was responsible for sending the first bird to London in 1828 BILL

I wasn't able to find anymore than this with a quick search on "who is Lady Amherst".

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Lady_Amherst%27s_pheasant

And that ain't much more than we could have surmised.

I googled Lady Amherst and found nothing more than Bill did.
