Philadelphia Austen/Hancock and the fascinating Eliza

While on the subject of Warren Hastings, is there anything much written about JA's aunt Philadelphia, who married a Mr Hancock and pobably had an affair with Hastings? Or about Eliza, Philadelphia's daughter (and Hastings's god-daughter and perhaps more), JA's cousin, who first married a French aristo who lost his head in the French Revolution and then married JA's brother Henry?
