  • Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was an Anglo-Irish writer and satirist. When Swift took up his residence at Moor Park, he found there an eight-year-old little girl. She was the daughter of a merchant named Edward Johnson, who had died young. Swift says that Esther Johnson was born on March 18, 1681 — she was later known as Stella and would later feature largely in Swift's life. Later he was in love with Esther Vanhomrigh, whom he called "Vanessa".
