Elinor, Marianne and Margaret are grand-nieces. He never married or had any children. They would be the elder Mr. Dashwood's brother's grandchildren. Little Harry would be his grand-nephew's son (great grand-nephew?) Maybe he would have looked out more for them if they were grandchildren? I'm not sure that would have made a difference to the situation.
