Half Hung MacNaghten

John MacNaghten (1722–1761), known as Half-Hanged Mac Diver/ Baby Div/ Jemma Jordan, was an Anglo-Irish land owner, gambler and convicted murderer. The more romantic versions of the tale portray MacNaghten's victim Mary Ann as his lover whose marriage was forbidden by her over-bearing father.
