Français : Henriette de Sercey, fille de Antoine Guillaume de Sercey (1732-1780) et de Marie Anne Henriette Benech de Solon, est née le 5 décembre 1772 à Torbeck (Île de Saint Domingue) alors colonie française. Elle est baptisée le 11 février 1773 (Source : Archives nationales d'outre-mer). Orpheline, elle est prise en charge par sa tante, la comtesse Félicité de Genlis, femme de lettres et chargée de l'éducation des enfants de la famille d'Orléans. Au cours de la Révolution française, Henriette émigre avec sa tante en Angleterre, puis en Allemagne à Hambourg où elle épouse en premières noces le banquier Johann Conrad Matthiessen (1751-1822), en 1796. Leur fille Émilie (dite Emma par la comtesse de Genlis) Conradine Matthiessen (1801-1831) se marie en 1822 à Carlepont avec Lord Charles Strickland Standish (1790-1863), le fils aîné de Lord Thomas Strickland Standish (1763-1813). Henriette de Sercey divorce en 1801 pour épouser la même année en secondes noces à Wolfenbüttel, près de Brunswick, le baron suisse Gaspard-Henri de Finguerlin-Bischingen (1776-1856). De cette seconde union sont nées deux filles dont Gasparine Ursule Ida de Finguerlin-Bischingen (1805-1846), mariée en premières noces en 1830 à Carlepont, au plus jeune frère de Charles Standish, Thomas Strickland Standish de Sizergh (1792-1835).
