• 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". Since both his loved girls carried the same name Esther they could be considered as twins.
