Help - Who is Lady Amherst?

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!

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:tieone:

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.

Thanks!! I knew that the FAOL community would come through!
