[Palliser.]
1700 to 1835. Aghada, Corkbeg, Inch, Rostellan, and Titeskin,
were held as the union of Aghada, in commendam with the
Bishoprick of Cloyne, until the death of Bishop Brinkley, on
14th September, 1835.
The following account of the manner in which Aghada was
granted to the Bishops of Cloyne, is taken from the manuscripts
of Bishop Bennet :—
▲GHADA. [OLOTKB.
" The revenues of the bishoprick appear to have been at a
yery low ebb in 1698, soon after the succession of Bp. Pooley
to the see. The long lease of sixty years awarded by Bram-
liall to the Fitzgerald &mily was not yet expired ; and, indeed,
the time of its expiring was a subject of dread rather than
hope, as bringing the certainty of a suit at law along with it.
Lord Inchiqnin claimed to hold the best farms on that estate,
not under that lease, but in his own right, as heir to the Fitz-
geralds. The fine estate of Ealmaclenin, with those of Inchi-
quin, Eilvagh, and Chor Abbey, were entirely lost, and that of
iBallybane, tho' the right of the see to it had been often allowed,
was in a hopeless state. The markets, mill, and other rights
of the manor were a daily subject of dispute. And, to com-
plete the whole, all hopes of Donoghmore were just extinguished
by the determination of the Commissioners against the claim
of the church. The whole estate of the bishoprick, both
spiritual and temporal, produced no more than £500 per an. ;
and with this expensive law suits were to be maintained
against Lord Inchiquin, Sir St. John Broderick, Colonel Corker,
of Ballymaloe, and others, some of which suits had been run-
ning on for near thirty years.
" Under these circumstances Bishop Pooley, who was always
attentive to the interests of his see, was encouraged to petition
the £arl of Rochester, then Lord Lieutenant, stating that Cloyne
was the worst endowed of all the Irish Bishopricks, so that
before 1641, the Wardenship of Toughal had been added to it
to make up for its deficiency of revenue ; that since that period
the see had been deprived of some very considerable estates -
that in parallel cases in the English Church it was uaxisA to
permit a Bishop to hold in commendam some other fit ecclesi-
astical preferment ; and that the union of Aghada which was
adjoining and convenient to the Bishop's place of residence,
being now vacant by the death of Mr. John Mascall, and in
the sole gift of the Bishop himself, he humbly prayed his Ma-
jesty to sdlow the said union of Aghada to be held in commen-
dam with the bishoprick of Cloyne, as it might seem good to
hiB royal pleasure. This petition of the Bishop was granted,
and he became B.ector of the union of Aghada, consisting of the
rectories and vicarages of Aghada, Corkbeg, Rostillan, Tites-
kin, and Inch, which has now gone with the see for upwards
of 100 years.
" By the judicious improvement of this fortunate opportunity,
Bp. Pooley laid the foundation of an increasing revenue to the
Bishops of Cloyne, which has made more than amends for all
the estates they have lost. The commodious situation of the
union, which includes almost the whole peninsula between
Cloyne and the sea, and the rise from the increase of tillage
in all the livings in the south of Ireland, has made it produc-

tire liejond any idea thai could have been formed at the time.
In 1700, when first held with the see, it was worth about £400
per annum ; in the time of Bp. Agar, 1767, it rose to £800 ;
in 1793 Bp. Woodward had increased it to £1,100 ; Bp. Bennet,
in 1801, made of it full £2,000 ; and ten or twelve years after
it was valued by the Proctor at £3,400.'*

is to be built in a more convenient place, at Aghada, in Gloyne.
[Acts of Parliament.]
1774. The Bishop holds also in commendam the union of
Aghadda, value £600 per an., consisting of the following
parishes, viz., the rec. and vie. of Corkbeg, the rec and vie. of
Aghadda, the rec and vie of Inch, otherwise Ninch ; the rec.
and vie. of Rostillian, and the rec. and vie. of Titeskin. Ag-
hadda Church is in repair ; the other churches are in ruins.

The Rect of Rostillian was formerly part of the possessions of
the preceptory of Moume, and is chargeable with 15«. per an.

the Ministers and Churchwardens of Aghadda, and their suc-
cessors, for ever, an annuity of £10, to be paid yearly, at
Christmas, unto the Curate of said parish, in trust, for five
of the poorest blind and maimed objects who shall reside near
to my present place of residence." In March, 1794, £120
(12 years arrears of this annuity) were paid by the executor,
Mr. Wallis Adams, of Kilbre. Besides the ten pounds, nine
pounds annual interest on savings were subsequently distri-
buted each year to ten instead of five poor persons near the
estate, who were generally chosen by the owners of the
property.

Officers, misled by the circumstance of its having been so long
held with the bishoprick, and regularly granted to the new
bishop at every vacancy, were much inclined to consider it as
a Grown Hying. But on my copying out the parts of Bp.
Pooley*s memorial to Lord Rochester as above quoted, and re-
ferring to the Privy Gouncil Books for the original, they im-
mediately gave up the question. Such is the advantage of
having a book of this sort to apply to upon occasion." [Bishop

Atkin Hayman (fifth son of Samuel Hayman, esq., of The
College, Youghal, by Elisabeth, eldest dau. and co-heiress of
Richard Paradise, esq., a French Protestant refugee) was bom
at Youghal, on 11th June, 1714, and entered T.C.D. as a
Pensioner on 6th July, 1733, and graduated in 1738.
He was ordained Deacon, on 2l8t December, 1740, and Priest,
on 15th March, 1741, by Bishop Berkeley, at Cloyne. On 22nd
December, 1741, he was licensed to the curacy of Middleton,
which he held until 1753. From 1753 to 1764, he was Curate
of Youghal. In 1754 he was appointed Chaplain to the Earl
of Hillsborough. From 1759 to 1764, he was R. V. Carrigro-
hanebeg, and from 1764 to his death, on 13th April, 1793, was
V. Ballyclogh and Castlemagner.
He married, firstly, in June, 1742, his cousin, Elisabeth,
youngest dau. of Rev. Walter Atkin (Treasurer of Cloyne, q. v.);
and by her (who was buried in the Atkin family vault, at
Middleton, on 30th January, 1756,) had issue &Ye ^ons and
three daughters. Three of the sons died infants, and one (the
third eldest, Walter Atkins Hayman) died without legitimate
issue. All the daughters died unmarried. Samuel, his fourth
son, succeeded to the family inheritance, much diminished by
the alienation of the greater part thereof to the illegitimate
issue of his brother Walter. Samuel was bom in 1753, and in
1779 took out a diploma at Edinburgh as a Physician. He
married, in 1782, Melian, dau. and co-heiress of Matthew Jones,
esq.. Collector, of Youghal, and by her had issue, inter alios,
a son, Matthew Hayman, heir to his father, who was bom in
1789, and married, in 1816, Helen, second dau. of Arundel
Hill, esq., of Doneraile. By this marriage Matthew Hayman
had issue, inter alios, an eldest son, Samuel Hayman, now
Rector of Ardnegihy, Cork, q. v.

The family of Hayman, Hejman, or Aymon (as the name is
spelled in the well-Kuown early French romance — *' ffistoire
dea quaJtre JUs Ayrrums^ tres- Nobles et tres-vaillans Chevaliers**)
is of undoubted antiquity. Sir B. Burke, in bis Landed Gentry
(article Hatman, of Youghal) gives the £amily a Norman origin,
and describes their genealogical roll as embracing a period of
more than nine centuries. He traces them downwards, gene-
ration after generation, from the year 931 to the present time.
Deeds, wills, and family letters, from the reign of Charles L,
are in the muniment chest of Rev. Samuel Hayman, the repre-
sentative of the Irish branch, who is sixth in descent from
George Heyman, or Hayman, of Minehead, Somersetshire, who
migrated to Ireland in 1629. George Heyman was grandson
of Robert or Roger Heyman, who, to avoid religious persecu-
tion in Queen Mary's reign, fled from Kent, and found refuge
in the west of England, where numerous lines, owing their
origin to him, may yet be found. A baronetcy of the creation,
12th August, 1641, existed in the parent house, in Kent, until
20th Nov., 1808, when the Rev. Sib Hbnbt Fix Hetman, the
fifth baronet, expired without issue male. (Vide Burke's
Extinct BaronetcifS, article Hetman of Somebfibld )
The Rev. Atkin Hayman left numerous sermons in manu-
script, and an account of the Diocese of Oloyne in 1762, which
are in the possession of Rev. Samuel Hayman, of Ardnegihy.

Rev. Thomas Spratt, of Stratton, on the Yosse, county Somerset,
by his wife, Elisabeth, dau. of Rev. Robert Cooke, Minister of
the Island of ? Kerry.
Devereux was the first of his family who came to Ireland.
He held the parishes of Membury and W^ithecombe, Exon, in
Devonshire. In 1640 he came to Ireland, and was, from 1641
. to 1664, Chancellor of Ardfert; and from 1661 to 1663, P.
Brigowne. He was also Rector of Tipperary and Galbally,
and from i 676 to 1685 was P. Lattin, Emly. He was also R.
Kilgobbin, and V. Stradbally, Ardfert, and Aghadoe. In the
rebellion of 1641 he lost property to the amount of X237, and
the income of his church livings, worth £100 per an. Vide the
MSS. T.C.D. F. 2. 21.
He died in 1685.
He married, in 1660, Palgrave Cubitt, of Tipperary; and had
issue by her (besides a daughter, Margaret, wife of John Love,
esq., of Castlesaffron, county Cork) several sons, all of whom
died childless, except Devereux, who was born at the &mily
residence, Torbay, near Mitchelstown, on 30th May, 1670, and

Urbo miirri^ in 1698, Martha Bond, of Glanore, and had bj her
inter alios two sons, William, V. Oastlelyons, q. v., and Harnier.
Harmer Spratt was of Lisnagourneen, near Kildorrery, and
married, in 1742, Catherine Nash of Farrihy, and had issue
two sons, James and Harmer, and a daughter, Margaret. Of
these, Harmer, the second son, alone married. He was of
Ballybeg, and married, in 1778, Martha or Mary Foot, of
Springfort, Buttevant. By her he had two sons, Harmer
(died unm,), and Thomas-Edward ; and two daughters, who
died unm. The second son, Thomas -Edward, hy his wife
Barbara, dan. of Lieut.-CoL Foott, of Milfort, had issue (besides
a second son, Richard, who married his cousin, Eliza-Louisa,
dau. of Hennr Baldwin Foott, esq.^ of Carrigacunna Castle) an
eldest son, Harmer Deverbux Spratt, esq.^ now of Pencil Hill,
near Mallow, who married Eliza-Louisa, dau. of the late Edward
Townsend Warren, esq., by Penelope, dau. of the late Rev.
B. M. Carleton, R. V. Carrigrohanebeg, q. v.
The estates of Ballinaburna and Ballinrush, in the county of
Wexford, and Torbehy, or Torbay, and Ballybeg, near Mitchels-
town, were possessed by royal patent by Devereux Spratt in
1641, and were alienated or lost by his descendants.

S. Alford graduated a.b., T.C.D., in 1663, and a.m. in 1667.
In 1663 he became P. Brigowne, &c. ; in 1667, V. Ballyloughy
and LiscarroU, aud Curate of Doneraile, Cahirduggan, j&llebeg,
Rossdouke, and Ros3agh ; in 1669, V. Bregoge and Eilbrowiiey.
All these livings and curacies he held until his death, which
took place early in the year 1670.
Mr. Alford's will, made probably shortly before his death,
was lost by his executor; but a draft of it was attested on 6th
June, 1670, and proved 17th June, same year. By this will
Alford seems to have had no issue, if he had ever married ; for
he leaves legacies to servants, and the remainder of his bills,
books, and miscellaneous effects to all his brothers and sisters
in England who may prove their claims, in equal portions.
This will is the earliest of those made by clergymen which
remain in Cork registry. [D.R.] He was probably a member
of the Alford family in Somersetshire. I find a Lancelot Alford
was appointed Clerk of the Hanaper in Ireland, on 5th Nov.,
1560, and Surveyor-General, in 1572. He died in 1591.

T. Wilcox waa from 1669 to 1671 P. Inniscana and P.
Liscleryy Cork. From 1671 to his death in 1681 he was P.
Brigowne, <bc. He left Walter Wilcox his executor; and I think
that he was the eldest son of Nicholas Wilcox, of Dublin, who,
by his wife, Joyce, whose will was dated in 1664, had two sons,
lliomas and Walter, and a daughter, Sarah. There was another
Thomas, eldest son of Thomas Wilcox, of Dublin, who in 1660
entered T.C.D. at the age of twelve.

the usual oath as P. Brigowne on 15th Nov. 1716. He was
again collated to these benefices on 30th June, 1721, when he
received, in addition, the vicarages of Litter, Derryvillane, and

long been reduced to a level with the ground. On digging some
feet below the surface, it appeared evidently to rest on a square
foundation, in one of the angles of which was built up the frag-

proved 21st Oct. 1639,] by his wife, Elisabeth, dau. of John
Rantoq)S, of Lyenborgh, in Germany, a son, Peter, who was,

of his father*s effects was granted on 7th Nov. 1699), a son,

Arthur Champagne was a descendant of the ancient family of
De Robillard, of Saintonge, in France. His more immediate
ancestor was the Chevalier Josias de Robillard, Seigneur de
Champagne, in the parish of Torc^, in Saintonge, who left that
place at the revocation of the edict of Nantes, and became a
Captain in Scravenmore's dragoons. He was deputed by the
Huguenot officers of William's army to represent their suffer-
ings and privations to government, and for that purpose re-
mained in London after the departure of his companions for
Ireland. The efforts he made to come up with his regiment,
and the fatigue he underwent, brought on so severe an illness,
that he died in Belfast, in October, 1688. He took the name of
Champagne instead of de Robillard, according to the practice
of all refugees of landed property, who adopted generally their
territorial designation in place of the patronymic.
His wife was Marie de la Roohefoucauld, a daughter of that
great ducal house, and her genealogy can be traced in an unbroken
line from " vir illustrissimus et potentissimus Fulcandus de
Castro qui rocatur Rocha,** otherwise "de Rupe Fulcandus," of
the 11th century. By this lady, who was buried at Portar-
lington, the Chevalier had issue two sons, Josias and Augustus;
and a daughter, Susanne, wife of the Baron Tonnay-boutonne
et de St. Surin, and mother by him, of Henri Auguste, Baron
de la Motte Fouque, the celebrated Prussian General under
Frederick the Great, grandfather of Baron de la Motte Fouque,
the distinguished German writer of romance.
The Chevalier's eldest son, Josias, accompanied his parent in
his exile, and was Ensign in La Mcllionier's regiment at the
Buyne when but seventeen years old, where ho so distin-

gnished himself that he was appoiDted Aide-de-camp to the
Lord Lieatenant, and afterwards attained the rank of Major in
the army. This Major Josias Champagne married Jane, the
eldest daughter of Arthur Forhes, second Earl of Oranard, and
had issue by her an only son, Arthur Champagne (bom 1714,
died 1800) who was in holy orders, and held, among other
church pr^erments, the deanery of Clonmacnoise.
Dean Arthur Champagne married Marianne, dau. of Major
(afterwards Colonel) Isaac Hamon, and by her, who was buried
at Mallow, county Cork, on 22nd August, 1784, had issue
four sons : — 1. Arthur, in holy orders, P. Monnehonnock, St.
Patrick's, Dublin, and R. Cloncah, Derry. He married, in
May, 1788, Mary, dau. of Rev. Philip Homan, of Siroch, county
Westmeath, and died in 1791, leaving an elder son, Arthur,
y. Castlelyons, and a posthumous ehild, Forbes; 2. George,
Canon of Windsor, and Rector of Twickenham ; 3. Forbes, a
Brigadier-General ; 4. General Sir Josias, who married Dorcas,
sister of Rev. Thomas Brownri gg, of Rathdowny, county Wick-
low, and Ballydaniel, county Wexford, and relict of White,
esq. Sir Josias left an only child, Artliur, of 55, Harley-street,
Cavendish-square, London. Dean Champagne had also six
daughters : — 1. Jane, CouifTESS of Uxbbidoe ; 2. Henrietta,
wife of Sir Frasmvs Dixon Borrgwes, Baronet ; 3. Marianne,
wife of Sir Charles Des YiEux, Bart. ; 4. Charlotte, wife
of Colonel William Armstrong. 5. Deborah, wife of Rev.
Samuel Close, of Elm Park, county Armagh ; 6. Letitia, wife
of George Stepney, esq., of Durrow, King's county; and after
his death wife of Edward Skeffington Smyth, esq., of Mount
Harry, Queen's county.
The Vicar of Castlelyons had been P. C. of Durrow, Meath,
before he accepted Castlelyons. He was presented to Durrow
by his cousin. Colonel Stepney. He resigned Castlelyons in
1830, and resided afterwards in the county Limerick. Having
succeeded to the estates of his uncles, George and Forbes, and
of his brother, Forbes, he died, unmarried, in Dublin, on 2nd
Nov., 1862.

1709. " Besides an English school for the education of poor
children in the Protestant religion, there is a public free school,
which is an elegant bailding, composed of one main structure
and two returns, over which was lately a han<Is()me dome.
This school was founded, anno 1709, by the Lady Elizabeth .
Villiers. She was eldest daughter of Sir Edward Vifliers, father
of Edward, Earl of Jersey, and Maid of Honour to Queen Mary
when Princess of Orange; and in 1695 was married to the
Lord George Hamilton, third son of William, Duke of Hamil-
ton, afterwards created Earl of Orkney. She expended a con-
siderable sum of money in building this house, and settled a
good estate on this endowment for the support of a master,
two ubhers' assistants, a writing-master ; and £50 a-ycar for
scholars entered from this school into the University of Dub-
lin."
"She reserved for herself a power to make rules for the
governing this school. The governors first appointed by the
charter were the Earls of Orkney and Inchiquin, Thomas Brod-
rick, Alan Brodrick, and Samuel Maynard, esqrs. ; Lieutenant
Peter Bettesworth, and their respective heirs, together with the
Bishop of Cork, and the Sovereign of Middleton. They nomi-
nate the master, who has £100 a-year salary ; an usher, who
has £20 per annum ; and a writing-master, £20 per annum.
There is £10 per annum for repairs of the house ; with the
sum of £50 to be distributed in exhibitions to scholars (of this
house) in Dublin College, as the majority of the governors shall
direct, provided that not more than £15 be paid to one person ;
and if such scholars are not to be had, this money is to go to
such charitable uses as the governors shall direct. The estate
bequeathed to this school are the lands of Ballynehortig, Bally-
nerequine, Ballynameuile, Ballynudagha, G4 acres of Tullagh
loane, lying in the barony of Kinalea and Kerricurihy, and all
the lands leased by the late King James to Sir Richard Mead,
at the rent of £100 per annum ; the lands of Ballysabeg and
Kilgoban, in the barony of Carbery, containing 33 1 dcres ; and
all other lands in the said barony formerly set to William
North, esq., by the late King James, at £100 per an.** [Smith's

he commenced in the following terms : — " Being obliged to leave
Waterford in a hurry, in order to let my tythes at Fermoy," Ac.

pounds to wage legal war with the Lord Bishop of Limerick, if
be won't restore a glebe of 72 acres on demand, having made a
lease of it, as 1 was entitled to do, for 21 years."
He died on the road-side in the coarse of one of his length-
ened pedestrian excursions ; and his strong box, or iron chest,
was broken open by some parties who had it in trust, and who
thus cut off all means of recovering a great part of his wealth,
which was supposed to be in the funds under a feigned name.

the crown livings of Eenmare, Eilgarvan, Templenoe, Eil-
croghan, and Cahirciveen. He was appointed to the commission
of the peace for the county Eerry on 15th May, 1679. Vide

uary, 1779.
1768. The following inscription is now (1863) visible on a
flat stone over a vault, near the entrance of the old churchyard
of Clonfert : ** Johannes Creagh obiit 8^ die martis anno Dom.
1768. ^tatis 92.
Hie veneranda pii requiescant ossa Parentis,
Dum tuba prolifico reuovatum pulvere corpus
Evocet ad sedes, sic fas sperare, beatas.

John Creagh, whose death was thus recorded, was a member
of an ancient Irish &mily, which was settled iu Cork- so early
as the time of Edward 111., and continued for two centuries to
form intermarriages with the leading merchants, and to attain
power and wealth. In 1644, however, when the other ancient
Irish inhabitants were expelled Cork, William Creagh, with his
son, John, left that city.
John settled near Newmarket, and was buried in Clonfert
churchyard ; and left an eldest son, John Creagh, of Killowen,
near Newmarket, who died as above is mentioned.
He left a numerous family, and his descendants still possess
the lands of Killowen, in Clonfert parish.

1774. Oct. 16. John Philpot Curran, esq., and Sarah Creagh,
both of this parish, were married, by licence, by the Curate,
Henry Weston, in presence of Richard Odell and Jeremiah
Keller. [Par. Reg.J The celebrated Curran, whose memory
is still affectionately remembered in the land of his birth, was
born on or about 24th of July or August, 1751, in a bouse
which has long been removed, which stood to the west of the
present (1863) court-house in Newmarket His father, James
Curran, was probably from the north of Ireland, and held the
office of Seneschal of the Manor of Newmarket under the Aid-
worth family. His mother was of gentle blood, being a de-
scendant of Henry Philpot, of Feversham, in Kent, whose
grandson, John Philpot, of Feversham, had, inter alios (besides
Sir John Philpot, Judge of the Common Pleas), a son, Nicholas

132 CLONFERT. [CLOYNE.
Philpot, wbo, by his wife, Anne (dau. of William, and sister of
Sir Richard Aldworth, of Newmarket), had two sons, John and
Gregory. John the last named was grandfather to William
Philpot, of Dromagh, whose estates passed by marriage to his
great grandson, Nicholas Philpot Leader, esq., whose son, N. P.
Leader, is now (1863) m.p. for Cork county. Gregory (the
other son of Nicholas Philpot and Anne Aldworth), by his
w:ife, Bridgett, dau. of John Evatt, Dean of Elphin, had issue
two sons, Michael (P. Dromdaleague, Cork, q. v.) ; and Laur-
ence, who married Sarah, dau. of Hugh Wigtou, of Raphoe,
and had issue Sarah, wife of James Curran, and mother of
John-Philpot and Laurence Curran. Mr. Boyse, or Boyce, the
Vicar of Clonfert, of. whose charijbable disposition there are
some traces in the old books of the parish, perceived and fos-
tered the germs of genius in the youthful Curran. He taught
him Greek and Latin, and sent him at his own charges to Mid-
dleton school, from whence Curran entered T.C.D. as Sizar, in
1769, and became a Scholar in 17?0. It is not within the
scope of this work to give a biography of Curran. His life has
been already more than once written ; and it will be enough
here to record the issue of the marriage which he, unhappily for
himself, formed as above in 1774. On 29th May, 1776, Richard-
Creagh, son of John and Sarah Curran, was baptized. On 22nd
Sept. 1777, Sarah-Gertrude; on 2nd January, 1779, Emily-
Maria; on 23rd Dec. 1779, Eliza-Odella ; on 19th January,
1784, John; and on 31st January, 1787, James, children of
John and Sarah Creagh, were baptized at Newmarket. Another
daughter, Gertrude, born in 1780^ died on 6th October, 1792,
and was buried at the Priory, Rathfarnham. One of his
daughters, Sarah, the betrothed of Emmett, and wife of Mr.
Sturgeon, lies buried in Newmarket. Only a rough stone
marks the spot. (Fwfe supra, vol. i. p. 53.) Another daugh-
ter, Eliza, I suppose, was wife to an English clergyman, Mr.
Taylor ; and another daughter, Amelia, resided at Clifton, near
Bristol, for some time.
J. P. Curran died at nine o'clock on the evening of 14th
Oct. 1817, at his house, Amelia-place, Brompton, Middlesex,
London. His funeral, which took place on 4th November,
was private, the hour being communicated only to the mourn-
ers. Between twelve and one the procession left Upper Gros-
venor-street, where the body had been deposited the night
before. There were but three mourning and three private car-
riages. Mr. Curran, barrister. Captain Curran, and Mrs. Tay-
lor, his children, and Mr. Thomas Moore, Mr. Godwin, and Mr,
Charles Philips, attended. The body was deposited in a vault
at Paddington, and was twenty years afterwards removed to
Glasnevin. In the parish church of Clifton, on the south wall,
under a female figure, mourning, is the following inscription : —

This entry was after December, 1776, and before January,

trace this legacy further, until the year 1806, when the vestry
acknowledge the receipt of '*£! 10^., interest of £50, the
bequest of Richard Aldworth, esq., paid by the representatives
of William Connell." After some time the payment of the in-
terest of this £50 ceased« nor was it recovered until the year
1S62, when the principal and interest were paid through the
medium of the Incumbered Estates Court to the Commissioners
of Charitable Donations and Bequests. It is now called the
Connell Bequest by the Charity Commissioners, although it has
been pointed out to them that Connell borrowedy not bequeathed
the money.

His will was proved in Dublin, in 1761, and in it he men-
tions a sister, Anne, wife of Thomas Gibbings, esq., of Gib-
bings-grove, county Cork. He was married, and his relict and

Mr. Cox, a clergyman, son to the late Dr. Cox, near Drogheda,
who, 1 understand, is under the patronage of Dr. Coghill.
Pray inform yourself of his character ; whether he be a good
man, one of parts and learning, and how he is provided for.
I should be glad to be apprized of his character. No one has
recommended him to me ; but his father was an ingenious
man ; and I saw two sensible women, his sisters, at Rhode
Island, which inclines me to think him a man of merit ; and
such only I would prefer." [Berkeley's WorkaJ

is the following entry made in the chapter books : — *^ Whereas
the Bishop has collated William Vayle one of the Vicars Choral,
yet, notwithstanding it is evident that he cannot enjoy the same
by that collation. However, in consequence of a reference by
word of mouth from Thomas, Lord Abp. of Cashel, at his trien-
nial visitation, held at Cloyne this day, directed to us, the
Dean and Chapter, to consider of an expedient that neither the
organ be destitute of an organist, nor the present organist, the
said William Vayle, of a com}>etent maintenance, we humbly
request and represent that it is convenient that the said William
Vayle shall continue to enjoy the one moiety of the profits of
the 4 vicarages belonging to the 4 Vicars Choral, provided he
keep in repair the organ, and at his own cost find one to blow
the bellows." Vayle, on March 3, 1721, resigned the vicarage

which time it was agreed that Considine should enjoy Fitz-
symons' vicarage during the incumbency of Fitzsymons, paying
to Fitzsymons £15 yearly. And that when Fitzsymons shall
have other preferment, Considine shall pay him £12 yearly,

Extract from a letter of Bp. Berkeley, dated Cloyne, Feb. 2,
1749: ** Our round tower stands where it did, but the little stone
arched vault on the top was cracked. The bell also was thrown
down, and broke its way through three boarded stories, but
remains entire. The door was shivered into many very small
pieces, and dispersed^and there was astone forced out of the waU.
The thunder clap was the loudest 1 ever heard in Ireland.**
The following is a more particular account of this accident :
'^ A storm of lightning, with thunder, on the night of January
10, 1749, passed through the country in a line from W. to E.,
and after killing some cows in a field S. of Cork, struck the
round tower of Cloyne. It first rent the vaulted arch at the
top, threw down the great bell, together with three galleries,
and descending perpendicularly to the lowest floor, forced its
way with a violent explosion through one side of the tower,
and drove some of the stones, which were admirably well
jointed, through the roof of a neighbouring stable. The door,
though secured by a strong iron lock, was thrown to the dis«
tance of sixty yards, and quite shattered to pieces. A few
pigeons that used to roost on the top of the steeple were
scorched to death, not a feather of them being left unsinged.
With the same bad taste which distinguishes all the works of
architecture of this era, the vaulted stone roof of the tower was
never repaired, but the height was lowered more than 6 feet,
and a vile battlement, in imitation of the worst English churches,
substituted in its stead.'* [Bishop Bennet.]

The following account of Cloyne, of the date 1813, or a little
later, is taken from the manuscripts of Bishop Beunet : —
Cathedral, Town, and Environs.
"Smith (in his History of Cork, vol. i., p. 135,) has repre-
sented the state of the Cathedral in his time, and given a list
of the inscriptions on the tombs. It is a respectable building
with a handsome nave and transept, and a small choir, all kept
in better order than is usual in the ancient Irish churches, ny
the style of the building I should suppose it not older than
1250. It has no mouldings of the zig-zag, nailhead, or billeted
kind, nor round arched windows, which distinguish what is
called the Saxon or rather Norman architecture, before the in-
troduction of the Gothic, temp. Henry III., and which appears,
for instance, in Cormac*s Chapel, at Cashel; nor, on the other
hand, has it the splendid arch or oak-leaved ornamentation so
common towards the middle of the reign of Edward L I
should, therefore, fix the era of its erection to the latter years
of the first of these princes, or the beginning of the reign of the
last. The windows, though since altered, were evidently lancet-
shaped, as was common in the time of Hemy III. See the
YOL. II. M 2
164 CLOTKE (vicars choral). [clotkb.
great west wiDdow and that of the south transept, the latter
on the outside, which is an additional reason for the date I have
chosen, as is also the circumstance that about this time three
Prelates out of four were from England, where monastic and
cathedral architecture were in high estimation. The Bishops
Johnson and Woodward are buried in this cathedral. In erect-
ing the present cross wall, at the entrance to the choir, which
was done by Bishop Agar, 1776, as the workmen dug deep in
the nave to lay the foundation, they discovered a row of graves
of rather singular construction, consisting of brick cells, ex-
actly suited to the size and shape of the body contained in each,
and what is curious enough, one of them ended at the shoul-
ders, nor were any of the bones of the skull to be found with
the body. It is, therefore, not improbable that the head of the
owner may have been fixed on Cork gates in the times of tur-
bulence, as they appear, in the print given us of that city in
Pacata Uibemia, to be full of such kind of trophies.
" The round tower, situated near the west door of the cathe-
dral, is in excellent preservation. The dimensions of it are as
follows : — Height, 92 feet ; circumference, 50 ; thickness of
walls, 3 feet 8 inches; height of door from ground, 13 feet.
It has stones projecting on the first story for the joists of a
floor to rest on. Windows seem to have lighted different
stories, and at the top were four in number, as is invariably the
case. The summit, however, has been absurdly altered, pro-
bably after it was struck by lightning in 1749, into the shape
of battlements, instead of being closed at top as usual. The
stones of which the tower is formed have been chiefly brought
from the sea-shore, though about half way up the building the
stones themselves, as well as the mode of placing them, undergo
an evident alteration. Within the tower hangs the single
bell belonging to the church, presented by Dean Bavies. The
steps to the door are also modern, like the battlements, for these
round towers (whatever may have been their use), were always
entered by a rope or ladder.
" In the eastern part of the church-yard, which is large and
well planted, still remain the ruins of a small stone edifice
(standing east and west, 30 feet long and 19 in breadth),
known by the name of St. Colman's Cliapel, and probably one
of those oratories or early churches still to be seen at Eillaloe
or St. Donat's, treated of by Ledwich in his Antiquities.
"The town of Cloyne is situated on a small limestone emin-
ence, gently rising in the midst of the valley, through which
I suppose Cork harbour to have once communicated with the
sea, and this eminence, therefore, was once an island sur-
rounded with water; afterwards, on the water partially drying
up, by a deep bog; and at present, by rich and in general well
improved m^Bwlows, to which the plantations about the church

and see house, with the round tower appearing everywhere
above them, give a good effect. On this spot, when in its first
or second state of transition (and in either it was a place of
considerable security), St Colman before the year 600, is sup-
posed to have founded his church, and the security of it must
have received no small addition from the circumstance of a
cave, which is on the most elevated part of it, extending in
various branches underground to a great distance. In tliose
unsettled and barbarous ages, caves of this sort were resorted to
by the natives on the first appearance of an enemy, and the
invaders seldom being able to make a long stay, the wives and
children of the tenants, and perhaps even their cattle, would
remain in tolerable safety till the country could collect in their
defence. It is certain that places of refuge of this sort were
looked upon as of so much necessity, that in some of the Heb-
rides we find artificial caves constructed for this purpose, and
where nature had provided one so deep and roomy a^ this, the
rude inhabitants of the time would as naturally graze their
flocks and build their huts in its neighbourhood, as in later
days they raised their cottages under the shelter of a Norman
castle. This idea, also, will receive confirmation from the name
of the town, Cluaine, signifying a cave in the Irish language.
** The cave is now in the field called the Rock-meadow, form-
ing part of the Bishop's demesne, a little east of his garden
wall, and they having been long neglected, and the drains from
it choked up, it is generally full of water in winter, yet there
is a large arched passage, running some hundred yards, leading
to another mouth in the shrubbery north of it A third but
smaller opening is also visible in the high ground above the
pond, a fourth near the road to the commons, and these or
similar entrances being known to the first inhabitants, gave the
Irish name to the whole of this land (which since the enclosure
is preserved in the small field joining it) of Nonelus Ry, or the
field of the caverns.
*'' That such caves were used in Ireland for the purpose of
security, appears from the Iceland Annals. [See ' Antiq. :
Celts and Scandinav.* page 14.]
" * Leifr went on piracy to the west, and infested Ireland with
his arms. He there discovered large subterraneous caves, the
entrances of which were dark and dismal ; but on entering they
saw the glittering of the swords which the men held in their
hands. The men they slew, and brought the swords, with much
riches, away.'
<< Thus I conjecture Cloyne to have been originally inhabited
in the earliest times, in consequence of the security afforded by
its caves, and to have increased in fame after GOO, from the
veneration paid to its saint, the round tower certainly affording
a mark of its importance in the year 900, or at least long
166 CLOTHE (VICABS CHORAL). [cLOTHB.
before the English invasion in 1171. [From the best opinion
I can form on this disputed subject, I conclude the Irish
round towers to have been raised by the Ostmen, on their
conversion to Christianity, about 900.]
" When the old retreat of the cave became of less consequence,
from the change of manners, the safety of the inhabitants was
equally consulted about 1200, by the erection of several strong
and insulated castles, as seems to have been the case in all the
old Irish towns of much note, to which the inmates of the neigh-
bouring caverns retired in times of danger, at once receiving
and giving protection. One of these castles was, as we have
Been, at the south-east angle of the square, formed by the meet-
ing of the four streets ; a second stood in Garryo wen-lane, ou
the north side of the road ; and another somewhat to the east
of the present see house: these buildings were probably raised
by the Powers, or Fitzgeralds, most likely by the latter, who
possessed almost the whole barony of Imokilly, first when newly
settled in the country as a defence against the savage natives,
and afterwards, when assimilated to them in manners and
religion, as a protection to them. The advantage of the com-
mons at a still later era operated as a cause of increase to the
population, so that even at present, though exceeded in splen-
dour of buildings and many other advantages by the neighbour-
ing towns of Middleton and Castlcniartyr, it is not considerably
below them in number, which by a tolerably accurate compu-
tation, in 1800, amounted to more than 1,600 souls. [The in-
habited houses were as follows : — Church-lane, 75 ; Roch-lane,
35 ; River-lane, 62 ; Spital-lane, 136. By a later and more
accurate enumeration taken on oath in 1813, the number of
inhabitants amounted to 2,020, the town then having 308 in-
habited houses, and at least 5^ persons to every house on an
average.] As there is no other market for the whole well-peopled
peninsula from Ballycotton to Rostillan, the influx of persons
on a market or fair day is very considerable indeed. The
ancient names of the neighbouring fields and ground speak
the savageness of the place in early times, Ejiockna Madreo
is the hill of the grey dog or wolf; Park Nadristrig, the field
of briers ; Monewraniskey, the meadow of the wild boars.
'' Of the hills that surround the town, that on the north is
Bohermore, or the great highway ; from a tradition that a road
passed over it from the sea on the south to that on the north
of the kingdom. The hill to the north-west is, as we have
said, Knockna Nadree, the hill of the Wolf, and to the north-
east is Courtoun, or the hill with the naked turn, which ex-
presses its present appearance with much precision."
The new organ, bought by the Chapter in 1813, cost £800.

to the amount of £1,928. [MS. T.C.D. F. 2. 17.]
Dean Rugg had issue (by his wife, Sarah, relict of
Smith), two sons, John, P. Kilmacdonogh, q. v.; and Thomas,
who was a Vicar Choral of Cloyne, in 1663.

In 1672, May 30, he took the chapter oath; and in 1678,
January 9, was (with three others), chosen Guardian of the
Spiritualities, on the death of Edward, Bishop of Cork, Cloyne,
and Ross. [C.B.] Ho was attainted by James II. in 1689.
William Fitzgerald was the eldest son of John Fitzgerald,
who was Dean of Cork from 1628 to 1641. Dean John Fitz-
gerald could not, however, have died in 1641, as I have stated
on the authority of Cotton. On referring to Lodge (edition of
1754, vol. i., page 73), I find that ho states that the Dean's
%v}fe died in Bristol, in 1641. The matriculation book of T.C.D.
states that William and John, the first and the second sons re-
spectively of " Gerald, decani Corcag.," were born in Cork, and
entered as Pensioners on 22nd June, 1660, being aged, the elder
nineteen, the younger seventeen years. They must, if this
entry of their matriculation be correct, have been sons of Dean
John Fitzgerald, by a second wife.
W. Fitzgerald was from 1661 to 1669, P. Kilmacdonogh;
and from 1669 to 1691, P. Tipper, Dublin. He was also, from
1663 to 1671, V. Clondrohid; and from 1671 to 1691, Dean of
Cloyne, R. Ardagh and Clonpriest; and from 1675 to 1692,
Archdeacon of Ross, and R. V. Clondrohid.
From 1691 to his death in 1722 he was Bishop of Clonfert.
" William Fitzgerald, d.d.. Dean of Cloyne," married, in 1688,
Letitia Cole, of Dublin, spinster. [Dublin Marriage Licence, 1st
July.] The Dean married, also, Mary, relict of Boyle May-
nard, esq., and second daughter of Sir Heney Tynte, by Ma-
bella, dau. of Sir Percy Smith, of Ballynatray. By her the
Dean had no issue, but whether she was his first or second wife
I cannot say.

1695. August 2. Dean Scardeville was instituted. [D.B.]
He took the chapter outb on 8th August [Chapter Book.]
Dean Scardeville gave to Cloyne Cathedral one large silver
ohalice and a paten. [D.R.]
Henry Scanieville (bom at Salisbury, and educated at Rep-
ton), entered T.C.D. when nineteen years old, on 24th April,
1673, and graduated afterwards b.d.
He was Chaplain to Field Marslial the Duke of Schombebo.
From 1681 to 1685 he was R. Cloghran, Swords, Dublin; from
1682 to 1703, P. Swords, Dublin; from 1691 to 17C3, Dean of
Cloyne, and V. Clondrohid; and from 1693 to his death in 1703
he was Archdeacon of Ross.
The family history of Di>an Scardeville is best told by the
inscriptions on a mural tablet, and on a tombstone in the
chancel of Swords Church, copies of which were kindly fur-
nished by Rev. Thomas Twigg, the Incumbent.
" Here lyeth ye body of ye Rev. Henry Scardevile, Dean of
Cloyn, Archdeacon of Rosse, Prebendary and Vicar of Swords,
who departed this life ye 3rd of February, 1703; together with
ye body of his first wife, Mary, ye daughter of the Hon. Colonel
Guy Molesworth, of London, [The Dean was married in
December, 1682, M. L. Dublin.]" who died in childbed, and
left no issue. He also married Margrety, daughter of Robert
Culliford, of Encoomb, in the county of Dorsetshire, esq., who
lies interred at Thistleworth, in Middlesex, by whom he had
issue a son and a daughter, viz., Frederick Maynbard, and
Elisabeth.
"Here also lieth the body of Elisabeth Scardevile, his
daughter, who departed this life the 4th day of May, 1704."
Dean Scardeville is said to have repaired the old round tower
at Swords. He left, bv will, £100 for teaching the Protestant
children of Swords, which bequest seems never to have been
paid. His executor, Mr. John Scardeville, was sued for it by
direction of the Swords Vestry, in 1731, and he appears to have
handed over in lieu thereof a lease M^hich he held from the
Dean and Chapter of St. Patrick's, of the tithes of the parish
of Killeek. That lease was afterwards made over to the Curate
of Swords, Rev. Alexander Eustace; and the parish of Swords
has had no benefit from the bequest of Dean Scardeville since
the year 1774.

Hodder and Barbara, his wife, to ye church of Gortroe, in ye

Archdeacon Meade was descended from the ancient Irish
family of Myaghe, or Meagh. In 1559 John Meade was m.p.
for Cork city, and his son and heir, John Meade, of Ballintob-
ber, was m.p. for the same city in 1585. The son of the last-
named, John, was Sir John Meade, knt. of Ballintobber, who,
by his wife, Catherine, dau. of Sir Dominick Sarsfield, the first
Viscount Eilmallock, had issue an only son, William Meade,
who was a Lieut-Colonel in the Army, and raised a troop of
horse for Charles II. in 1666. This Colonel William Meade,
by Elisabeth, dau. of Sir Robert Travers and Elisabeth Boyle,
dau. of the Archbishop of Tuam, had four sons, of whom the
first was John, created a baronet in 1703, who was ancestor of
the Earls of Clanwilliam, and the fourth son was Dominick,
Archdeacon of Cloyne.
Dominick was born at BaU in tobber, circa 1661, and, when nine-
teen years old, entered T.C.D., on 13th June, 1680; and, having
graduated, was, on 19th Dec, 1686, ordained a Deacon at Cork.
From 1686 to 1692 he was R. Rathcony, Cork; and from
1687 to his death in 1729 or 1730 was Archdeacon of Cloyne.
He married Mary, dau. of Francis Smjrth, of Rathconrsey, by
Maria, dau. of Beverly Usher. [Cork M. R of 9th Sept., 1695.]
He also married, according to family papers, Margaret, dau. of
Mathew, fifth Lord Louth, and relict of Sir Christopher Aylmer.
A chalice now in Ballymartle Church has this legend: — '^Ex

The Archdeacon had issue three sons — Richard, whose son,
Sib Richard, m.p. for Cork county in 1776, died Sp.; John,

KANTURK, P. C.
In Kanturk, formerly a village in the parish of Clonfert, there
seems to have been some place of worship in 1772, where ^he
Curate of Clonfert used to preach about one Sunday in four. Be-
tween 1794 and 1798, during the incumbency of Richard Wood-
ward, the Bishop's son, at Clonfert, a chapel was erected in
Kanturk, on a site granted by the Earl of Eomomt, a little below
the confluence of the rivers Alio and Dallua. The Earl gave,also,
£50 towards the building ; and William Allen, esq., of Green-
field, to whose zeal and attention the completion of the church
may in a great measure be ascribed, erected in it a handsome

gallery at his own expense. In 1805, Oct. 11, the Rev. George
May bury seems to have been licensed to the caraoy of Kanturk
by the Vicar of Clonfert, and at the Clonfert vestries of that
period a parish clerk, <fec., fur Kanturk was regularly appointed.
In 1808, howeyer, Mr. Hewitt, the Vicar of Clonfert, took steps
to have Kanturk made a perpetual cure, and in 1809 it was
accordingly formed into a chapel ry or parish, as it is at present
1809. Robert Bullek is Curate.
1809. .July 12. The Bishop of Cloyne, and Francis Hewitt,
V. Clonfert, sign the deed for erecting Kanturk into a perpetual
cure, under the Act 11 and 12 George L The Bishop assigns
to the Cure of the church or chapel of Kanturk the toUowing
townlands : — '' Kanturk, G^radeen, Curragh, Mylihiragh, Roa-
line, Coolevotas, Kilnockin, Knockelly, Knockshehy, Knock*
shesane, Gooseberry-hill, Carrigcashel, Barleyhill, Lismire^
Duarrigle, Callaghan's Rosacon, Callaghan*s lasm^cummin,
Murphy's Lisniealcummin, Two Clontimacades, Greenfield,
Gortnaconroe, and Gortnascreggy, which several townlands
shall belong to the Cure of the church or chapel of ease so
erected in the town of Kanturk as aforesaid, which shall here-
after be one parish, to be called and known by the name of the
parish or chapelry of Kanturk, and shall be deemed and reputed
to be one entire parish, for the purposes in the said Act
mentioned, saving, nevertheless, to the said Francis Hewitt
and his successors, Vicars of Clonfert, otherwise Trinity Christ
Church, Newmarket, all his and their rights as Vicars of said
parish of Clonfert ** At this time the Vicar of Clonfert allocated
for the stipend of the Curate the tithes of two farms, called
Coulacousane and Curragh, amounting to £54 per an. The
Board of First Fruits gave an equal sum, and also gave £450
to fine down the rent of 10 plantation acres for a glebe, and
an additional £450 for a house. This (says Mr. Hewitt, in his
account of Clonfert, preserved in manuscript by his son), makes
it one of the best curacies in the diocese, and the Bishop allows
the Curate to perform the occasional duties of Tullilease, a non*
cure, for which service £10 per an. is allowed. This provision
for the Curate is, every way, worth £150 per an. The Earl of
Egmont allows annually £30 to Mr. Bullen, as schoolmaster at
Kanturk. [D.R. and Hewitt MSS.]
N.B. — The townlands above mentioned as comprising the
district of the perpetual curacy, are identical with those selected
on 15th June, 1807, by the parishioners of Clonfert, "for
paying the clerk and sexton of Kanturk, and for keeping the
chapel in repair, in order that said chapel of ease may be made
a perpetual cure." [Clonfert Vestry Book.]

It has been inadvertently stated at pases 109 and 153 of
Cork, that Richard Ashe, r. EillaspagmuDane, and V. Holy
Trinity, was also B. Killeagh. The error arose from the ah-
sence of any Christian name in the Visitation Book of 1661.
I give here the information concerning Richard Ashe, which
was omitted in the Cork Becords.
Bichard Ashe, a.b., was ordained Deacon by John, Bishop of

death in 1701 he was V. Inchinabacky, Clonmult, Dingindon-

He was married. ** Dorothy, ye wife of Mr. James Spencer,

I venture no remark as to tlie relationship of this James
Spencer to Edmund, the poet But I will here give some very
brief notes of the Spencer family, which may be of interest.
I find Henry Spencer was ordained Priest by the Bishop of
Ardfert on 18th March, 1663. He was V. Drehidtarsna, in
Limerick. Perhaps he is the same person who was buried in
Cork, in 1646. Vide Holy Trinity Vicarage, Cork, page 110
of vol. i.
Edmund Spencer, the poet, died in 1599. In 1600 Sib
Gerald Aylmer and Sir William Sarsfield grant a deed of
feofiment on 20th August, of 11. Athnowen, Rennybrough, R.
Kilbride, Kilbrogane, Kilmainane, Agneholtie, <S:c., parcels of
the Abbey of Grany, in Munster, to the use of Roger Seeker-
ton and his wife (the poet's relict), with rem' to Peregrine
Spencer, in tail male, with rem' to Roger Spencer and wife, with
rem' to the right heirs of Edmund Spencer for ever. [Fer-
guson's MSS. I. 74.]
The eldest son of the poet, by his wife, Elisabeth, was Syl-
VANUS Spencer. He married Ellinor, dau. of David Nagle, of
Monanimy, by Ellen, dau. of William Roche, of Ballyhooly.
He had two sons, Edmund, who died Sp., and William, who
was heir to his brother, and recovered the estates of Kilcol-
man, and also, in 1697, of Renny. This William had, by his
wife, Barbara, a daughter, Susannah, and a son, Nathaniel, who
was of Renny, and died, having had, by his wife, Rosamund
Bulkeley, a daughter, Barbara, and three (^ous, Edmund, Na-
thaniel, and John. Edmund, the last-named, was born 25th
Nov., 1711, and married in 1736, Anne, dau. of John Freeman,
esq., of Ballinguile.
The second son of the poet was Laurence Spencer, whose
will was dated in 1653, and proved in 1654, at Cloyne. In it
he is styled " Laurence Spencer, of Camden Bridge, Youghal."
This will (I am told by the Registrar of Cloyne) is very brief.
The testator bequeathes feather beds, and a few legacies of
20 shillings each, to persons whose names seem to be Morton
and Bathurst.

The poet*s third son was Pbbegbinb. He married Dorothy
Morres, or Maurice [Book of Orders of CromweH's Court of
Claims, 1654 to 1655, pp. 213-18], and had from his brother
the lands of Renny. He, in 1634, had also the impropriate
rectory of Athnowen, Cork, and of Brinny, He was father of
HuQOLiNUS Spencer, who married Ellinor, widow of William
Roche, of Ballymaclauraco, county Cork, and became a Roman
Catholic, and was outlawed. He was possessed of the impro-
priate rectories of Brinny and Athnowen, and appeared for
them in the Visitation Books in 1694. His property was
granted to William Spencer, his cousin, "as next Protestant
heir." The only child of Ilugolino Spencer was Dorothy, who
was wife of Pierce Power, and bore to him three sons — Hugo-

Mr. Carson seems, from the following letter addressed to
him by Bishop Bennct, to have required a faculty to hold
Clondulane and Kilmahon together. His opinion seems to have
been highly valued by his Lordship on other matters. This
letter of the Bishop is now in the possession of Mr. Carson's
descendant, the Dean of Kilmore. It is dated from Dublin,
17 th March, 1800.
" Deab Cabson,
" The expense of a ^ulty is very serious, and the danger
of objecting to the title by which you hold your present parishes
not imminent at present, so that I am inclined to advise you
to wait till you think you have more pressing necessity.
" The questitms you ask depending on the union, and the
wording of the Act of Union itself, make it impossible at pre-
sent to give a precise answer to them ; but I apprehend the
Irish laws previous to the union will still bind the Irish Church,
unless expressly repealed by the Imperial Parliament. The
nature of the connexion in the clerical line is now before Sir
Wm. Scot to give his opinion on it.
" In order to answer the latter part of your letter, which I
fear I cannot do exactly to your wishes, I must, in perfect
dependence on your secrecy and honour, enter more than I am
apt to do into the plan I have of disposing of Dr. Atterburys
preferments, in case it should be my lot to outlrre him.
'* My intention has been to separate the Chantership from
tSO khjuhov. [clothb.
tiie great union of Clonmell ; to settle Austin in the latter, and
Hingston in the former ; in which cajse the plan yon mention
of uniting Eilmahon, Ohurchtown, and Bohillane, might in time
take effect ; but of late Mr. Mapletoft seems to have wished to
give up Castletown for Atterbury's preferment, and then no
separation would take place.
'' But though either of these schemes shuts the door to your
advancement, there are other passages equally broad left open.
Dr. King's living was valued in 1796, at upwards of £900; and as
that preferment would be more than equivalent for both yours,
it would probably be a great object to you. Circumstances
make me wish at present for two livings, such as you now
hold, to dispose of; and though I would not be understood to
make an actual promise, the chance of King's living furnishes
an additional reason for you not to be too hasty in applying
for a faculty to hold your present parishes.
" I feel happy in the gratitude you express for such services
as I have been able to render you ; and shall I confess also
that I have always thought myself obliged by your expressing
your dislike to my leaving the country in 1796? I wish we
had talked over the reasons for and against it : there were
many on both sides, and I knew too much of the state of the
. country for my own comfort — the same knowledge of which
poor Dodge, so fotally for himself, partook with me. So apt,
however, is the world to Judge by the event, that the same
mouths which were opened against me for quitting my diocese
in 1796 were extended to the full as wide against Bishop
Stock for not quitting his when the same enemy came in
1798. The Primate too, in 1798, followed my example in
quitting Armagh at the first report of a landing, as did poor
Stock and his whole family on the second appearance of the
French frigates in the bay of Killalla. They knew by expe-
rience to what dreadful distress they exposed themselves. I
knew it by anticipation. Besides, all my money was at Dub-
lin, and I had a very numerous family to feed, who were to
have left the country ten days after. I thought at the time
that all travelling would soon become impracticable, as it did
in 1798, and that as it was determined to give up the county
of Cork to the enemy, it was better for me to prevent the
misery of so terrible a retreat, and that ten days sooner or
later made no difference. Providence saved us ; and therefore
the world in general blamed me. I have even myself since
thought I was too precipitate ; but I doubt whether I should
have thought so at the moment of danger. At any rate it was
kind of you to suggest your doubts, and I have endeavoured to
be grateful for the advice.
" 1 am, dear Sir, yours very truly,
" Wm. Cloyne."

parish of Farraby. It is a neatly bound paper manuscript ;
tbe first page or two being a copy only, but authenticated by
tbe handwriting of tbe Rev. James llingston, who was a Vice-
President of that society, and seems to bave acted as Secretary.
Tbe society which was commenced on 4th Nov., 1745, "at
the house of tbe Widow Callaghan, at Moyallow," bad for its
object to concert measures for the mutual security of its mem-
bers, and for the defence of his Majesty King George and his
government, then imperilled by "a horrid and most unna-
tural rebellion" carried on in Scotland, " by Papists and other
disaflected persons," in favour of a Popish Pretender. Every
Friday was tbe day of meeting, at tbe house above-mentioned ;
and absent members were to be fined one British shilling. The
first members were as follow : — Mat. Deane, Richd. Newman,
John Dillon, Adam Newman, Arthr. Lysaght, Phil. Oliver,

those for absence were to be given by him to the Protestant
poor of Mallow. The members were to wear on all days of
meeting an orange cockade in their hats, and were to take, on
a<lmis8ion, oaths of loyalty and abjuration of the Pretender,
and to profess disbelief in transubstantiation.
On 20th Dec, 1745, the club resolve to recommend Kichd.
Newman, esq., to the Lord Lieutenant for an independent
troop of dragoons. On May 9, 1746, the club resolve to meet
but once a month for the future, and also agree " that tlie sum
of two pounds five shillings and six pence be pai<l by the
Treasurer to any person or persons that shall, within three
calendar months from the date hereof, apprehend James Quin-
hin, of this town, indicted at the last quarter sessions for assault-
ing the wife of Dory, the gunsmith," ttc. It was also agreed to
pay .£1 2^ 9(/. to any person who shall, within the same period,
** set George Hasset, butcher, deserter from Genl. Whitchet's,
now Bligh's Regiment of Dragoons, an<l give notice of the same
to the military officer commanding in Mallow."
On 2nd Dec, 1755, after a long recess, the society agree to
meet monthly at the houses alternately of James Magrath and
\Villiam Cooly. They resolve that no member shall pay more
for his ordinary and wine or other liquor than Ss. 9 Jcf., " nor
shall more than one bottle of wine or a like proportion of other
liquor be allowed each member."
On May 11, 1756, " Whereas at the last general assizes held
for the county of Corke, John Lett, of Carrigoon, near Mallow,
taylor, was capitally convicted for robbery and burglary, and
ordered for execution on Saturday, the first day of this instant.
And whereas the said Lott was not hanged till he was dead, ac-
cording to his sentence, but is now alive, hath been seen by num-
bers of persons, and is lurking about the neighbourhood of Car-
rigoon aforesaid : — This society doth agree to give a reward of
five pounds sterling to any person or persons who shall, within
three calendar months from the date hereof, apprehend and
lodge the said Lott in any of his Majesty's gaols in this king-
dom."
On 8th June, 1756, it was *' agreed for the time to come that
no ratiiing, wageing, or any kind of hazardous gameing, be on
any account whatsoever admitted at any meeting of this society,
and that any person who shall hereafter propose any sucli
raffling, wageing, or hazardous gameing, shall forfeit one dozen
of wine, and such proposal shall be utterly and to all intents
and purposes not complied with."
On 9th Nov., 1756, it was .igrecd that the club meet for the
future alternately at the houses of Mr. Magrath and of Mr.
Richard Large, at the New Inn.
On 14th Feb., 1758, '^Whereas by an act of this society,
dated the 17th March last, it was ordere<i that all fines for ab-
t

eence, after payment of the respective houses (i,e, for dinners),
should be laid up as a fund for aiding such poor people
as should be bound over to the assizes for the prosecution
of felons and compounders of felony, and not be able to bear
their expenses at the assizes, &c. And whereas no applica-
tion hath been made to this society for the purposes afore-
said :" — it is now agreed that the said fine hitherto paid be ap-
plied to the purchasing one silver medal for each of the mem-
bers, to be worn by them publickly, appendant to an orange
ribbon. The Treasurer is empowered to contract for forty of
those medals, and the members are invited to suggest devices
and mottoes, it being decided that one inscription shall refer
to Nov. 4, 1745, the day of the first institution of this society.
Beyond what is above stated, no business whatever seems to
\ have been done by this society, excepting the levying of fines
for absence. The last meeting recorded in the book from
which these extracts are taken was held on 9th Dec., 1760,
NoBBiss Jephson being Vice-President,

The rectory of Great Witley, Worcestersihire, was formerly
in the possession of tliis family. Alan Clyffe, and his son,
Alan Clifie, were Rectors of that parish. William Cliffe, son
of the latter Alan, and of Jane Cooke, his wife, was born in
1597 ; and by his wife Catherine, dau. of Henry Bright, a
Prebendary of Worcester, had issue a third son, Henry, of
Mathon, county Hereford, wlio married Mary, dau. of Henry
Meredith, of Hereford, and had issue two sons, Robert and
Allen Cliffe. This latter Allen had a son, Allen, whose son
Henry had issue a son, William, born in 1742, who by his

account is taken from the Herald's visitations of Worcester and
Hereford, and from the parish registers of Cradley and Mathon,
in Herefordshire, and of Great Witley, in Worcestershire.
The Rev. A. R. Clifft* was born in 1808, and is a.m. of

" Reverend Sir,
" My humble service, <fcc., T have sent you, according to pro-
mise upon Thursday last, a brevial of the proceedings going for-
ward of the service of Mounster, in the kingdome of Ireland,
your brother, Comett Joanes, and myselfe being comrades, and
serving under the command of the Right Honorable Roger, Lord
OLOTNS,] MABSHAL8T0WN. 881
Baron of Broghill, myselfe being also his Lordship's Chapline.
I have sent jon likewise a catalogue of the names of some of the
chief commanders and approved souldiers in that province,
with the names also of many castles in the county of Corke,
which are in the Protestantes possession, and those that are
in the Rebles, and what strength they are of ; and I have here
inserted and sent to you a copie of the Lord of Muskerrie*s let-
ter to the Earle of Barrimore, wherein hee doth persuade his
honour to consort himselfe with his Lordship, the which hee
doth defy, for I know the Earl to be a man tliat doth abhor
and detest his Lordship, and the Lord Koche*s insurrection and
desperate attempt, and wisheth evill success unto their rebel-
lious designes, for hcc is one ' quem Titan finxit meliore luto*—
flSrst concerning our Service.
"The Rebles entering into the province of Mounster, com-
mitting great spoyle in their march, Sir William Saint Leger,
knight, Lord President of the said province, with 200 horse,
Fryday, 3rd of December, kilt 200 of them between Clonemell
and Waterford, beside a great number that were drowned ;
many prisoners were then taken, whereof 40ty of the Ring-
leaders were hanged at the citty of Waterford the Monday fol-
lowing.
"Thursday, the seventh of December.— My Lord President
gave me notice the Rebles had robbed the Lord Arch Bishop of
Cashell, and driven away his Grace's cattle and flock from his
Pallace of Gosmis, made after them, and found some of the said
cattle in the bawne of a gentleman not far from Cashell,
whereuppon his Lordship caused the Rebles houses to be fired,
and sent the gentleman to Clonemell gayle, after which time
wee were indifierent quiett, until Baron Loghmoreand Captain
Graves souldiers came into our company and stole the cattle
and pillaged as they went, their stealthes and villanyes they
committed were commonly in the night for the most part;
most of their armes were halfe pike, and sleanes. Not long
after their coming in this theivish kind of way, but most of
the Papists in our barony of Cundans consorted themselves
with them and robbed their next neighbours, and killed such
as did withstand them without any regard of former intamatory
of love, or tyes of favours don them and anncient acquaintance ;
which made all the Protestants in those partes to fly to castles
for the safety of their p.sons and lives, or run away to some
Port Towne, or to the next strength adjoining, ancf leave all
they had with them.
" My honourable Lord, the Lord of Broghill aforesaid^ hear-
ing of these cow-stealers, and the cruelty of the Cundans^ sent
his troop of horse amongst them ; but we could not make any
great execution at that tyme by reason of command which
came the next day (being the first day of February), from our
332 MAR8HALST0WN. [CLOYNE.
honourable general!, the Lord President aforesaid, to meet at
Kildorrary, in Sir William Ffenton's country, where all the
English force and strength of the county of Corke were in field
(but those that lay in garrison) ready to encounter with the
Lord Mungarrett, Don Boyne, Castle Connell, Ikerin, Baron
Loghmore, and their great army of Rcblcs.
" We continued in the field at Kildorrary aforesaid two dayes
and two nights, expecting their coming, according to promise,
and their many threateniiigs, but they did not dare to come to
us, or fight with us then, for wee had a daynty champion
country, which doth much antipathize their cowardly natures ;
they fight and deale altogether upon advantages, tliey will
have woods and boggs to second them, or they will not fight
can they any way shun it.
"They marched to the towne of Kilniallock, in the county of
Limbricke, where I heard the Lord Mungarrett was lovingly
received by the townsmen, with the rest of his discontented
gentlemen, for they used the English very coursely that lived
in those partes, and others that had occasion to deale and com-
merse with them.
" The third day of February the Lord President, the Earlc of
Barrimore, the Lord of Dungiirvane, my Lord of Broghill, and
Sir William Courtney, marched towards the Redshard to have
given the enemy a meeting. The Redshanl is the receptacle
for the Rebles of those partes ; it is as dangerous a place for
woods and boggs as any in Ireland ; it lycth in Sir Edward
FitzHarris his country, not farre from the towne of Kilniallock.
*'The aforesaid Lords, sir, to my own knowledge, went with
a full intent and purpose to have given the Reble's great
army a crash ; and I dare say they had, had our armyes mett
that day, for they are lords of most noble mindes and coura-
gious spirritts ; their very names are a mighty terror unto the
Rebles ; they are all four of them approved souldiers ; they will
endure much hardnesse, cold, and hunger, for they did lye
in the tfield without any tentes in snow, frost, rayne, ha}?le,
and all weathers ; excellent they are in managing their horses
— the very Rebles acknowledge that ; and they say they had
rather encounter and fight with three troupes of horse that
should come newly into the laud, than with one of these Lord's
troupes, for their troope.-^, and Sir William Courtney's troupe,
have given thousands of them their due desertes since the tyme
they did first rebell.
" Our lying at Kildorrary, 1 observed in my Lord President
that I cannot omit, his Lordship lying in the field, having no
pillow but the ground, a gentleman presented his cloake unto
him beseeching his Honor to be pleased to rest his arnie uppon
it; he refused it, wishing him to keep it for himselfe, the
weather was very cold, and for his own part he was better ac-

quaiuted with uuch a kiud of lyfe than he was ; the gentleman
was easily p.suaded to leave \\\h coniplament at that tyme, for
there was not tlie like day of 8now all last winter ; my Lord,
indeed, sir, is of a very noble and loving disposition unto his
souldiers, and likewise are the other three Lords. As for my
honorable good Lord, I am confident your brother, the Coro-
uett, hath written unto you of his noble, and sweete, and kindo
caryage towanls ns, therefore I pretaint ? to speake or write
any more in that p.ticular.
** Friday, the fourth day of February. — the Lord President,
hearing that the Lord Mungsirrett intended, with his army, to
come to his Lordship's towne of Duunarayle, his Lordship
caused our army to march to the mountayne's foote, alias Balli-
houra, tliree miles from the said towne to the north, to prevent
their coming ; wee quartered there that night, Satturday, and
Sunday night ; Munday, the seventh day of Ffebruary, my
Lonl, seeing their delayos were but to get amies and ammu-
nition, and a strong party, marched towards the towne of
Kiimallock, and plundered the countrey, for they were most
Robells in those partes. The Lord Mungarrctt kept close in
the towne, and dared not fight with us. We could at that
tyme have made up but a thousand armed men, besides our
troopes of horse ; we had made a period of Mungarrett's Rebel-
lion, and of all those that were then out in the countyes of
Corke and Limbricke ; wee, seeing wee could do no execution
uppon them, returned to our old quarters. There was good
service done in our marche by our scoutes, and by the Provost-
Marshall, Captayno Peasely, and his horse.
" Sir John Brown, knight, Lieue-tennant Carleton, and my
selfe, with four other gentlemen, which did ride abroad as
scoutes to discover the enenn*, took prisoner Miles FitzHarris,
enquire, and his man, as they were riding to Kiimallock unto
the Lord of Mungarrctt, who had sent for him to have made
him governor of the said towne, as did appear by his Lordship's
letter, which was found in Fitzllarris his ]>ockett; was found
also with him the articles and covenants which the Priests
and ffryars sweare the people to observe and mayntayne to the
losse of their goods and lives ; 1 know you have seen a copy
of these, therefore I forbear to mention them ; hee being a
little threatened by some of our company, promised threescore
pound for his ransome, the which he sent his man ]>er8onally
for unto his castle ; it was very welcome, for money was very
scarce amongst us, but my Lord President coming presently up
with the army, and hearing Fitzllarris his answere, truely
waying the cause, and his former caryage and service since the
rebellion of others in the country, upon his faythfull promise
then made of his future loyalty, caused the said money to be
restored, and sett bim free.
834 HARSH ALSTOWN. [CLOTITE.
" Two days after FitzHarris setting at liberty, the Lord
Mungarrett and his great army, the like whereof was never
seen in Mounster, came unto us at Ballahoura aforesaid, and
in their marche tooke the Castles of Ballahey, and Dod*s Cas-
tle was yielded to them uppon quarter, for which the Lord
President was highly offended with the counstable of the said
castle, but his Lordship is merciful! to all Protestants, though
he much hates a coward.
" The first of Mungarrett's huge multitude, and many pikes,
which made as great a show as a spacious wood adjoyning to
them, nothing daunted the aforesaid Lords and Captaynes, nor
any of their troupers, for I protest unto you there was not a
man in our army but had a desire to have fought with them,
and the rather because wee expected them long and suffered
many of us much want, yet I dare say they were twenty for
one ; odds enough they had, yet they dust not descend the hill,
and come unto us in the playne, where wee did encamp not
much above muskett shott from them ; we had not any of
our foot companyes in the field that day — they were all in the
towne of Mallow, five miles from our campe, to which place my
Lord President thought good to make his repayre, it being
almost night, and the countrey people were flocking into Mun-
garrett's army.
"When we came to Donnorayle, my Lord President left
Lieue>tennant John Downing to keep and defend the castle,
with fifty shott, which kept it faythfully (Lieue-tennant Dow-
ning is a stout p.y. (i.^. pretty) man, and one that hath don
good service). We made no other stay, but presently marched
on our way to Mallow, where we quartered that night.
"The next day my Lord President, with his troupe, the Lord
of Dungarvane, and some of the foote companyes, marched to
the citty of Corke ; his Lordship thought it the best policy to
make good the port Townes and strong Holds.
" The Earle of Barrimore, with his troupe, my Lord of Brog-
hill's troupe, and the remaynder of the foote companyes,
marched towards the port towne of Youghall, and did save at
Mallow, for Mr. William Dampeere, and for the English in
those partes, what cattle wee could, and brought them with us
to the Earle of Barrimore's Castle, at Castle Lyons. The next
day the companyes that marched to Yoghall drove them there,
and relieved the towne beside ; many of them were transported
from this kingdom, which I conceive to be an act of charity in
the said Earle, and ought highly to be commended.
" My Lord's troupe marched home to Lismore. Within four
or five dayes wee came home, newes was brought unto my
Lord that the Rebles of Cundan's countrey had robbed and pil-
laged divers of our neighbourhood, whereuppon his Lordship
was very mach displeased, and caused fifty horse and thirty
CLOTNB.] MARSHALSTOWN. 335
musketeers to be made ready ; and he rode in p.son to their
place of rendavouze. When wee came neare Lieue-tennant
roore's castle wee descryde a troupe of horse, to the number of
threescore or more thereabout, wee made up unto them with
all speed, but they tooke the advantage of the ground, and
kept under a quicksett hedge, and placed some musketeers in
a ditch adjoining, which made some few shott unto us, but did
us no hurt ; we no sooner came over the said ditch but we
perceaved twelve coulers, no souldiers with them but the
Ensignes ; their army lay at the bottom of the hill, but uppon
notice given them of our approach, they suddenly made up unto
their coulers (for they are nimble, swift footmen ; they usually
march as fast as their horse). As soon as they came unto their
. coulers they fell into rankes and files, and made as neat and
warlike a body as ever Rebles did make in Ireland for the
quantity of men they had. Their number of foote was 1,500,
well armed, beside the country people that followed the army.
My Lord charged them home, and made their horse retreat unto
their foote ; their army durst not advance a long time, seeing his
Lordship*s stout resolution, by which means we saved our foote.
"At length, Colonell or Captaine Butler came out from the
army, and desired to parleo with us, whereuppon a gentleman
of our troupe, one Smithy, roade unto him, and as soon as
he came neare Butler asked him when my Lord did intend to
five them battle, hee made answer hee could not resolve him,
ut hee thought it was a very unreasonable motion, considering
our handful of men unto their multitude ; and he made known
unto him that my Lord, when hee came forth, was informed
they were but a company of cow-stealers, and had hee any way
known of their great army hee would have come better pro-
vided, yet hee thought we were able to encounter with them,
and so departed from him, only telling him it was his best
course to return home with his army the way hee came, and
hee doubted not but Mr. Gerrald, of Coolesshine, would furnish
them with boates to carry them over the Blackwater, and
entertayne them as formerly. Butler made answer that was not
their intent ; they came not over to that end ; but hee did
hope they would do better service before they did depart the
countrey. My Lord, uppon Smythye's retume and answere,
had a full intent to have fought with them, but his Lordship
was p.suaded to the contrary by some noblemen of the com-
pany, and the Portrifie of the town of Lismoreeue, Bryan
Cavernor, an honest, religious man, and one that hates Popery.
" That night the enemy marched to the towne of Tollow ;
the next day they, sett about the taking of a strong house,
called Ballianker, in which house was a gentleman, one Croker,
and his wife, with throe or four men more ; they defended it
manfully until! their powder and shott was spent ; they killed
336 MARSllALbTOWN. [CLOYNE.
and wounded many of the Rebells ; but seeing they could no
longer niayntayne fires with them, yeelded uppon quarter;
but Captayne Ifennell most p.fidiously caused the said Croker
the next day to be shott in could bloud, as they say, and the
poore men to hang each other in a field adjoining to the said
house, which I think all niarshall men and souldiers will iudge
to be a most barborous, inhumane act ; therefore, I cannot but
note him with a black cole, though a discontented gentleman,
as hee termes himself.
" The day following they besieged us at Lismore, but in the
morning before their coming there came four companycs uppon
the other side of us, which took boate at Afiane. Corporal
Ffoucks, and some othor of our troupe which were out abroad
as scoutes, discovered them, and not knowing of their number
of men, but thinking they had been oncly but cow-stealers and
pillagers, made n]> unto them, an<l discharged at Captayne
ffennell, hee brin^^ing up their army, or rather raged regiment,
and ffennell likewise unto him ; in the sqirmish fiennell's
horse was shott, whereuppon word was brought to the towne
that Corporal Ffourks was kilM. Cv^ronctt Downing hearing
of it lead some few other gentlemen, they presently made unto
them. The Coronett being a bohl man, and of a very forward
spiritt, roade up close to Ffennell, and discharged his carbine
at him ; Ffennell having gotten a fresh horse, hee mist him ;
but, as the Coronett wheeled about, one of FfennelTs choyce
shott, an old fowler, which did usually runnc by his horse side,
with his fowling piece, shott him in the back through his
armour and body, which made him presently fall from his
horse. Your bntther, Coronett Joanes, that now is in his
place, seeing him fall, shott at Captayne Ffennell, and likewise
hee at him againe ; they made two or three shott each to
other j your brother having discharged his carbine and pistolls,
unsheathed his swonl, and challenged the Captayne to fight
with him, when the shott from their army came flying about
his eares ; but their great Captaine refused it, and retreated to
the army. Your brother brought off the Coronett's horse in
despite of them all ; there was one of our men more kil'd in
the fight ; their corps could not possibly be brought of by us,
they played so fast upon us with their shott.
" What number of men were kil'd one their side wee could
not learne, in regard they were mastors of the ffield.
" That night they quartered in the schoole-house and the
alms-house of Lismore, anil in other houses in the towne, which
were out and free from shott of the castle. Their centinells
which were in the church-yard had a welcome with some shot
from a turret t of the castle.
" The next day a gentleman, one Bayline, came to the cas-
tle with a drummer before bim^ and made known unto my
CLOYKE.] MAR8HAL8TOWN. 337
Lord that his Generairs pleasure was, that his Honor would be
pleased to surrender the castle unto him before such tyme as
there was any great effusion of blood made ; for his full intent
and purpose was to have it ; and if his Lordship would yield it
up quietly, he should have a safe convoy for himself, and for all
such as did belong unto him to Yoghall, or Corke, or unto any
other Porte Towne in the Province.
*' My Lord told him he was not acquainted with such kind of
languadge, and that, for his own parte, hee was resolved to live
and dye in the Castle, and hee thought all the men he had
would doe the like in defending and niayntayning it against his
pretended Generall and all others that could assault it, and
wished him to take that for an absolute answere; so Mr. Bayline
only drank three or four glasses of wine and aquavitc, and
departed.
^' My Lord is a vigilant man ; hee placed good guards and
strong watch upon every place of the Castle and Courte, and
none but such as wore men of trust ; and likewise upon every
quarter of the Garden and Gate, though his Lordship watched
himsolfe three nighttt together, encouraging his souldiers, and
seeing they might not want things fitting, nor any of the poor
people of the Towne and Countrey which came to the Castle
for the safety of their lives.
** My honourable Lady was newly brought to bedd of a child,
otherwise,! dare Fay, she would likewise have watched in person;
for she is a lady that truly fears God, abhors and detests Bebles,
and I know but few men in the land will shoot off a fowling
peece better or necrer the marke than her Ladyship.
*' My Lord was not forgetfull of the dead corps of Coronett
Downing, but sent his Trumpeter, one John Downing, and
others, to the enemyes army for it. They gave leave for the
bringing of it to the Towne, but wished withall that no minister
should bury him, for hee dyed one of their Religion, a Roman
Catholic, wherein I am p'suaded, and ])artly know, they wronged
him highly, for he had, at the very first shott, his death wound,
and after that he was not sensible of anything they said or did
unto him. I buried him in the Cathedral Church of Lismore,
and as he was layed into the ground, ho had a volley of shott
given him by our soldiers in the church-yard, mauger the
eares of those proud Popish priests and Rebles that quartered
in the Towne.
" Captayne Broadrige, who is Captayne of the Castle under
my Lord, is a man of an undaunted spirritt, a faithfull, honest
man, and one that hath acted the part of a brave commander,
especially when the Rebels were in the Towne. Tour brother,
the Coronett, and hee are intimate, loving friends. I think yoa
knew him, therefore I forbear to write any more of him at tbia
tyme.

« My Lord, sir, being both yoang and active, thought of
a way to fight this domaneering, yet cowarde, and fearfuU
anny. The way was this : — Hee caused all the ordnance,
morderers, harqaebusses, muskets, carbines, and pistollsy that
were in the Castle to be shott off at once, and with the same seot
them word by a man home (whom) my Lord did most confide
in, that the English army was come to the Towne, for we heard
they had intercepted the Earle of Corkers letters, which his
Lordship sent, of the landing at Youghall of Colonell Lanester.
This sudden noise and thundering shott did strike such terror
into the heartes of those guilty and wicked persons, that they
presently furdled up their coulors, and runne away to the
blackwater to take boate at Afiane, where they came over for
the most part of them ; many runne a contrary way. I believe
they never saw theire coulors again ; but this day we pursued
them with fifty horse or thereabouts, and killed many of theniy
and many wee tooke prisoners, who had very bad musketts
and pikes. The Gaptayne of the last company that tooke
boate, one Prendergrace, escaped us yeiy narrowly ; he left
his stately mantle behind him, and was iajne to trust to his
nimble heeles, that commonly proved their best defence. I
heartily wish wee had a considerable number of men there for
their sakes. We took from them two hundred and fifty head
of cattle, most of them were oxen and cowes of the English
breed ; we took also six or seven hundred sheepe, a great many
horses and garrons, all which they had stolen in the country
from Englishmen. Ton might the next day have bought in
Lismore a good cowe for eighteen pence, a garron for five
pence, and a sheepe for three pence. Wo took likewise their
wagons, and a number of scaling ladders, that five or six at
once might go up abreast ; they are in the Castle at Lismore
at thb day. And thus, by the Providence of God, as the
primary efficient, and the forecast and manhood of this hono-
rable Lord, the subordinate instrument, the Rebles were shame-
fully chased away, the Castle preserved, and many hundreds of
poore people, women and children for the most part, that did
fly there for succour, escaped their furey, and not so much as
one of them hurted.
'' The next day wee did make them sensible of their errors in
the Towne and Countrey that did consort themselves with them.
" Within five or six dayes wee had put those Rebles to flight,
newes came unto my Lord that the Lord President, the Earl of
Barrimore, the Lord of Dunffarvane, Sir William Courtney,
Colonell Lanester, and what forces could well be spared from
the Port Townes and Castles, would all meet at Lismore the
second day of March, and so quarter there that night, and
the next day march to the Towne of Dungarvan, which was
p'formed accordingly.
OIOTKS.] MARSHALSTOWK. 339
" My Lord road to Castle Lyons to meet the Lord President,
and brought his Lordship home with him, which was taken
very loveingly, and in good part. Uppon our march between
Lismore and Castle Lyons theire were killed divers of the Rebles.
Wee took the Castle of Turbeath, which Mr. Richard Candane
had formerly taken from Mr. Osborne's scrvantes, and burnt all
the honses in Cundane's countrey and this side of the Black-
water ; there were also taken some few prisoners. Most of the
gentlemen of the countrey were at the Towne of Eillurd, alias
Fleetewood plantation, uppon the other side of the water.
" Wednesday, the third day of March, wee, our army,
marched from Lismore towards the Towne of Dungarvane,
killed some in the way, took many prisoners, and burnt all the
Cabins in the Countrey. My Lord President's troupe and my
Lord's troope marched some 4 or 5 miles before the army.
When we came near Sir Richard Osborne's Castle, about three
miles from Dungarvane, wee saw seven companyes with their
coulors displayed, nigh opposite unto us, only a river between
us and a little bogg. Wee made all possible speede we could to
a ford to gett over the river that wee might gett before them,
to keep them from marching home to the Towne; but they
marched an exceeding fast pace, insomuch that wee were no
sooner in the ford but they were within muskett shott of us,
and discharged at us. The river was so deep that our horses
were enforced to swime. Wee seeing what advantage they had
of us, wheeled about, and came forth out of the river, and
galloped up to another foorde a mile from it, and ptssed over
safe before such time as they could make unto us. They seeing
wee had gotten before them, fell into a body, close by a wood-
side, a little more than muskett shott of us. Wee braved each
other awhile; at length wee made towards them. They seeing
our carbines all ported, and my Lord and Captayne Bridge's
colonesse, and discrying with all our army, presently furdled up
their cotdors, and fled with all haste towards the passage of
Yoghall, and to caves in the wood. There were many of them
taken and killed in their flight, and many more theire had byn
had not the woods and boggs byn their especiall friends.
" That night the Lord President and the rest of the Lords
lay at Sir Richard Osborne's Castle, and our army quartered
betweene the Castle and the towne. Our scoutes took, that
night, a gentleman and his man, which were riding to Dun-
garvane, but hanging prevented them.
*' Thursday morning being the 4th day of March, our army,
between eight and nine of the clock, came close before the
towne of Dungarvane. Wee took it within three hours fight, and
burned most of the houses which were theatched,and burnt like-
wise a stately stone house, well slatted, of one Mr. Hoares, adjoin-
ing to the towne. There were divers gentlemen and others that
Toil. n. z 2

escaped over the strand a horseback, the water being then
fordable, for it was the beginning of the floud.
^ My Lord President p^ceeveing it, caused a squadron of the
best shott to make to the strand with all haste, which killed many
of the Rebles, notwithstanding many escaped, where-uppon my
Lord caused a party of horse of every troupe to be chosen oiity
to ride to the other side of the river, and bume the Towne uppon
that side, and kill as many as came over ; wee were forty horse
nppon that service. Captayne George Welch, who is now in
this citty, was with us, and behaved liimself valiantly, and did
good service to my owne knowledge, for I was an eye-witness
unto it. Wee burned the towne on that side the strand ac-
cording unto our directions. There were killed by our party
of horse some fifty, and I think there were killed and hanged
the like number on the other side of the Towne, and in the
towne were many killed, which were thrown into the sea.
There is not any one man, I dare say, can tell certainly how
many were killed and drowned ; some say 200, some 300, and
some 400, but I am of the opinion 200 were the most that were
slayne. At night our forty horse returned to the towne one
the other side, and quartered there ; those that were in the
Castle stood out, and shott at us : they killed 4 of our men,
and hurted three or four more, that was all the lost and hurt
one our side. Sir John Browne was shot from the Castle
through the coat in many places with slugs and quarter shott,
yet hurted not his body. Hee is a daynty brave-spirited gentle-
man, and one the Rebles do much dread.
" Saturday morning, the 6th of March, they yeelded the
Castle in the towne, to depart uppon this quarter, to march
away like souldiers, their coulors flying, and their bagpipes
before them, the which was granted them, and p*formed ac-
cordingly. My Lord was noble in his promises, and would
not take an example by their kind of quarter, but I believe
they had not had so good quarter could wee have gotten any
good place to have quartered our horses in, they could not
have stood out long, for our shott kept them from water. They
that were in the Castle and the other side of the towne had
quarter to depart only with their lives and wearing cloathes.
There was great store of pillage taken in the Towne by our
souldiers, and a good quantity of excellent Spanish Iron, which
was brought about to Yoghall in Mr. William's pinnace. The
same day the Castles were yeelded wee returned to Lismore
with victory and spoyle, and wo burned all the Rebles corne in
our march that was in those partes, and killed many of the
Rogues that were their spyes in the countrey.
" Six or seven of our troupes that went foorth in morning as
scoutes and to bume some cabins, mett with some pillage ; the
enemy surprized them, and killed two or three of theui.

Lieur-tDnnant Poore, with eight or nyne troops, took a Castle
three miles from the Towne of Dungarvaue. He is a very
honest gentleman, and one that hath mayntayned his Castle of
Ballagarren in despite of those bands of Rebles; for Captayne
Butler, and Captayne Ffennell, with three or four other Cap-
taynes, besieged him at once, beside the countrey people.
" Saturday night, Sunday, and Sunday night, our array
quartered at Lisraore, and at the Towne of Tollow, two miles
from it
" Monday morning, being the seventh day of March, we
marched to Castle Lyons, and in our march wee had routed the
Rebles in Cundan^s countrey had not my Lord President heard
of Sir Donagh M'Carty, Lord of Muskrye's rebellion. We
quartered that night at Castle Lyons, the Earle of Barrimore's
towne; his Honour gave the Lords, Commanders, and Common
Souldiers, noble entertaynment. He is of a most noble, gene-
rous, free nature, full of humanity and Christian charity, and no
less pious and truly vertuous ; he hath sermons in his chapel
duely twice a-day, Sundayes, SVednesdayes, and Fridayes.
*' His Lordship received all the English that were robbed and
stripped in Lord Roche's and Cundon*s countrey, and his
Right Honourable and religious Countess cloathed a great many
of them, and amongst the rest, my wife and children, who were
robbed and stripped in the said countrey, when the great and
strong Castle of Cloghleagh was ycelded up unto Mr. Richard
Cundane, wherein were most of the inhabitants of the market-
to wne of Killurd, and some of the inhabitants of the market-
towne of Clogheene and Ffermoy, and divers of the parishioners
of Leitrim and Clandullane, all which the said Earle kept a long
time in his castle, and afterwards sent his troape with them, and
convayed them safe to Yoghall. I hope his loyalty, good service,
and cnarity expended on those and many hundreds more of
distressed Protestantes, will not long go unrewarded; however,
I am confidant he shall have an everlasting reward.
"There are at least forty familyes uppon his Lordship's care
and charge at this day, which were robbed and pillaged out of
all they had. His Lordship hath had many invitations and
letters from the Lord of Muscry, and the Lord Roch, and other
gentlemen of the countrey to joyne with them, which his
Honour detesteth and scornes. The copie of Ix)rd Muscrye*s
letter I have here inserted.
" * My dear Lord,
" * Uppon the first rising in armes of the Ulstermen,and after
of Leinster and Counaughtmen, against the King and common-
wealth, as I then conceived, I do confesse I did as much abhor
and detest their insurrection, and wished as evill successe to
i that their desperate attempt, as I took it, as either English or
Irish coald wish, untill at length, uppon better consideration.

having examined all the wayes I could for finding out the true
grounds of that insarrection, I found out the cause of their
discontent and rising in armes was the apparent ruin and
destruction threatened to Catholic Religion, King, and Countrie,
which I did not altogether helieve to be the grounds of their
quarrell till I saw aU Munster either rise or ready to rise out,
whereat I was so much amazed that I did most seriously ex-
postulate with all or the most part of the province of Munster,
then with the rest to dive into the true cause of their discon-
tent, who all protested that they wished no harm to the King
of England nor any English whatsoever; but that apprehending
a general fear of prosecution, ruin, and destruction to Religion^
King, and Countrie, they were fearful and sensible thereof that
they held it more safe and honourable for them to expose their
lives and fortunes to all hazards for justification of these three
than to be of the happiest conditions without assurance of en-
joying them ; which reason so prevayled with me that I have
joyned with the rest of the kingdom with a full resolution
to hazard my life and estate or mayntayne the Catholic Roman
Religion, his Majestie's prerogative, and Royal attributes to
the government and ancient prlvaliges of the poore kingdom
of Ireland, established and allowed by the Common Lawe of
England.
'''My Lord, these three poyntes are so reasonable that I doubt
not but your Lordship (if you believe that they are the cause
of our quarrell), will rather further them than offer to hinder
our present designs. For the first, it is so cleare that I will not
argue it ; the second, I know your Lordship will advance and
iustify to your power as much as any subject can doe ; and
without the benefit of the third there is no living, for your
Lordship or your posterity in this poore countrie; and if your
Lordship doe believe this to be the true motives and grounds
of our discontent, the least of them is enough to invite your
Lordship to ioyne with us in so honest and honourable an
action ; when if you should thinke to be remiss or refractory,
our forces are ready, and have vowed to endeavour the de-
struction both of your life and estate. If your Lordship doubt
of the truth and honesty of our quarrell, and the cause thereof,
wee shall be ready and very glad to give you all satisfaction
therein, and if you please to give credit to p'ticular relation,
I protest uppon my creditt, there is no worldly respect could
make me forgett my loyalty to his Majestie. My Lord, as well
as I wish your Lordship (and although I have used all my
endeavours to keepe my kinsmen and adherents from going
into your countrey), if you come not presently and joyne with
us, you must expect present ruine, and though I were resolved
not to stirre nor ioyne with the countrey as I have done, I
have such burning and killing of men, women, and children,
without regard of age or quality, that I expect not safety

" Thursday the eiffht of March. — My Lord President and
Colonell Lanester and their forces marcned from Castle Lyons
to the citty of Corke, and they gott into the citty in good
tyme, for the Lord of Moaskery had wa3rsted his countrey and
was very strong. The strongest CasUe his Lordship hath
wherein he usually livith is within three miles of the citty, the
name of it is Castle Blarney.
''The Irish in those partys say it is one of the strongest
Castles in Ireland; I have byn often in it, and I find it to be a
place of great strength.
"The late Lord, Sir Charles M'Cartee, built two or three
walls about the said Castle, and walled the garden with very
strong walls and turrets with battlements, and contrived many
plans of defence. I could heartily wish our English army were
the owners of it
" I had almost forgotten to acquaint you how my Lord of
Broghill took Roche's Castle of the Towreene, neere Lismore,
and caused the countrey people to go forward in ploughing
their land, which I conceive to be very good service.
" The Lord of Eillenmeaky hath don very great service of
late in the west partes of the county of Gorke, and about the
towne of Bandon-bridge, took the Castle of Eilbrittayne,
M'Cartee Reaughe's chief castle, the Castle of Pollalong, and
divers other strong houses, and plundered the countrey.
** I know you cannot but have a true relation of it being
here, and many in this citty which went with his Lordship in
the said service. In taking of the Short Castle of Mallow, Mun«
rirrett lost seven score of his men, and there were not above
shott defended the said castle, they kept it so stoutly that
after the enemy had made a breech or two they gave them
quarter, which was p'formed accordingly by the Lord Mungar-
rett contrary to the Lord Roche's minde, as I have byn in-
formed. However it was, I am assured there was a great fsdling
out betweene the two Lords, and many of the Lord Roche's men
killed in the broyle. Twenty men killed and hurted of his
Lordship's at the least, as the souldiers reported that were
there; and to end the difference they burnt a great part of the
spoyle, which was in the said Short Castle.
344 MAB8HAL8TOWN. [CLOTNB.
** The CundoDS doe much mischief near Fennoy and Castle
Lyons, they killed at one tyme three and twenty of the Earl
of Barrimore*8 troopes that roade to Coole, an English planta-
tion, about a mile from the Towne, to fetch come. It was a most
barbarous oruell murder : I trust the all-seeing eye of the
Almighty will not suffer it go long unpunished.
''To acauaint you, sir, with the overthrow, we gave the
Lord of Muskery, near Corke, with 500 musketeers and a
hundred-fifty horse, and how his Lordship's tent was taken there
by our souldiers, and his armour for his owne body, would be
true though stale newes, for I am sure you have seen part of
the passages in print.
" The Lord of Muskery escaped with life very narrowly at
that tyme. I heard when his Lordship came home to the
Blarney, he fell out very sore with his Ladye for p'suading him
to ioyne with the countrey, in their rebellious actions and des-
perate attempt.
'* Great 0*I)onovane, as the Irish call him, whose father was
a most notorious rebel, doth much spoylc about the Leape,
Castle- hevane, Ban try, Rossecarbery, and divers other places.
His &ther burnt the townc of Ilosse the last wars, and he or
his souldiers most inhumanely killed a daughter of the old
Lord Bishop Lyons, that was both deafe and dumb, yet he
came in uppon his p*tection and saved his lands. I believe
this 0* Done vane doth hope bee shall have the like ffavour, and
my neighbours, the Cundons,as the Arch Rebel their grandfather
had ; but I doubt not but they are mightily mistaken, for there
will never any Englishman that is a Protestant dwell neare
them, I am p*suaded, let them pTess what love and loyalty
they will hereafter.
" O'Sulliavane-Beere, Teige O'Dounce, Fflorence M'Cartee,
of the Castle of Banduffe, Black O'CuIlane, and other fTree-
holders, neere Rosse, ioyne their forces together, and have
taken great store of pillage, and robbed the English about the
Ban try, Kilcoe, Affadowne, Balledahab, Landore, Cloghmakilty,
and Inniskeane, Castletowne, alias Poldenstowne, the town of
Rosse, and all those partes.
" The Rebles have made a slaughter-house of the Cathedral
Church of Rosse, and dayly kill their cowes and sheepe in it.
My father came lately over and makes known so much. He
hath lived in the said town thirty years and more, and hath
byn a good part of the tyme Treasurer of the said church.
Master Arthur ffreake and my ffather-in-law (Thos.) Boyle
with others, the inhabitants of Rosse, have very manfully and
bravely defended the Castle of Rosse Barry, near Rosse, in
despite of all the Rebles doinges, and have done very good
service against them.
" They now want bread, beare, and other provisions, for

tlieir store was long since exhausted ; they had no beare in the
Castle these foarteen weeks ; but by help of a logh, which doth
almost mote the castle round, they live, though poorely.
^ I have a sonne in tlie said Castle, and there are many
women and children in it ; it is a hold of great consequence,
therefore I hope theire will bo a course taken that it may
speedily bee relieved.
^* Bandon Bridge men, I hearc, desire some aide ; for the enemy
doth now begin to grow strong in those partes, and victualls
is very very scarce in the towne.
'' Tbe English inhabitants and souldiers that are in the
Castles of MacoUop, Balladuffe, Mungeely, and Kilmacow, neere
the towne of Tallow, have done good service, and mayntayncd
those holds stoutly and bravely, the enemy trembles at the
very nameing of Cnptayne Pyne, Carter, Russell, Jackson, and
Curdry, who are the chief commanders of those Castells, and
also at the naming of a Minister, one Mr. Robert Crewcs, who
is in Macollop Castle, the common sort of Irish say cuniures
amongst them.
'* Cloghleagh Castle and Dungallane Castle, the enemy still
mayntaynes and keepes ; they are two very strong castles, but
they want water both of them. Daniell M'Shane 0'Br3ran is cap-
tayne of Dungullane Castle ; he hath a company of desperate
nauglity fiellows about him ; they came to a gentleman, a
parishioner of myne, whose land lyeth in Leitrim, one James
FitzGerald, who is now maryed unto the Lord of Muskery's aunt,
and p*sttaded him to leave his thatched house in Letrim, and
goe with them to the said Castle of Dnngallane, and theire they
would create him Earle of Desmond, and put him in possession
of all his lands. The gentleman being a very weak man both
of body and minde, was soon p'suaded, and went with them,
and theire he is yet for anything I know to the contrary.
'* I believe the gentlewoman, his wife, hath store of money
and plate there with her. To my knowledge there is store of
plate, brass, pewter, iron potts, and ffeather beds in those two
Castles, and amongst the rest there is four of mine.
*' I hope I shall see the demolishing of those castles, or a
strong ward of English in them ; they are the places of refuge
for the Rtibles of all that countrey, and, indeed, they were the
bane of the English in those partes, and of all the travellers that
passed that way, and they were the occasion of the death of
many hundreds of Englishmen the last warrs in Ireland, as I
have been creditably informed.
** The souldiers which doe belone unto the Cundane of £il-
gnllane Castle, in the parish Marshelstown, and unto Mr. Ulicke
Roche, a chief freeholder in those partes, commit many out-
rages and stealthes. Sir William Ffentou*s butler, I heard,
346 MAB8HALST0WN. [OLOTVIB,
killed the yoang captayne, Mr. Roche's sonne^ neere Micheals-
town, where hee came in the night with his ragged tren to
steale cows from some of the townesmen.
" I know not well how the old Ulick Roche, of the castle of
Balleclogh, doth behave himself. There is a quondam parishioner
of rajne, an Englishman, one Robert Nixon, in the castle with
him.
'' The Lord Roche's castle of Glannor is a strong place, vet
I heare but a weak ward in it. Oar army took his Lordship's
castle of Castletowne lately, wherein was a thousand people at
least, his lady was in the castle there ; they yeelded, as my
ffriend, Mr. Rouckhood, of Corke, informeth me, uppon quarter
to depart with their lives and wearing apparrell.
" Our army took also great O'Callahane's Castle lately.
''The Lord of Inchaquin and Captayne Gipson have given of
late a great overthrow to the Rebles, 4 miles from Mallow,
neere the towne of Broghill and the mountayne's foote.
" My Lord of Broghill relieved Sir Richard Osborne's Castle,
and brought him home with him to Lismore very lately, and
killed two hundred of the Rebles, which had besieged the
Castle. I believe they will never besiege that Castle any
more, because they have had such ill success ; for I was witn
my Lord in the beginning of March last, when wee put many
hundreds of them to flight ; they had besieged it then, and
killed many of them, and took some prisoners.
" There were killed by the Lord of Inchaquin's troupe and
others, they say for certayne that came out of the county of
Corke, 400 of the Rebles; and they took 4 ensigns and 3 drum-
mers from them, with a great deal of good pillage ; but there is
great doubt of keeping of them, if speedy helpe bee not pre-
sently sent over, for the Rebles are very strong in the county of
Limbricke, and have threatened not to be long away from the
county of Corke.
" And thus hoping wee shall shortly have the victory of all
the Rebles, and a strong garrison awhile kept in every market-
towne of any strength, I commend you unto God for the
present, and will for ever remayne, as I have professed myselfe,

He was ordained Deacon on 4th January, 1633, and Priest
on 3rd February, same year, both by Richard, Bp. of Cork.
He was, from 1633 to 1660 (?) V. Mogeesha and Rostillan ;
from 161^5 to 1660 (?) R. Mogeesha and Rostillan ; and from
1637 to 1660 (?) R. V. Dingindonovan, Clonmult, and Bally-
spillane.
On 25th January, 1642, Augustine Kingsmill, of Barry's-
court, in the parish of Carrigtwohill, Clerk, depones on oath
that be was robbed and forcibly despoiled, on or about the 25th
December, 1641, or thereabouts, of his goods and chattels, &c.,

He died intestate. Administration of the will of Rev.
Augustine Kingsmell, of Bally tubber-oughte (Ballyonghtra ?)
county Cork, was granted on 16th June, 1669, to Henry
Kingsmell, his '* nepos.** He is stated in the memoir of the
Byam family to have married Elisabeth, dau. of Rev. E. Byam,
Precentor of Cloyne, q. v.; and the author of that memoir
states that letters of administration were granted in 1669 to
Elisabeth, the relict of Reverend Augustine Kingsmill.
In his titles to Dingindonovan, he is styled Rev. Augustine
Kingsmill, senior. Perhaps there were two clergymen of this
name.
These Kingsmills were of kin to William Kingsmill, of BaUy-
owen, county Cork, who, by his wife, Ursula (dan. of Sir
Warham St Leger, and sister of Sir William St. Leger), had
two sons, John, who died Sp. ; and William, who had a
daughter, Mary, wife of Ulysses Burgh, Bp. of Ardagh.
The first-mentioned William Kingsmill is thus noticed by
Smith in his history of Cork.
" The first act of hostility committed in Munster was on the
20th of November, 1641, when the rabble plundered Mr.
William Kingsmill, of Ballyowen, brother-in-law to the Lord
President St. Leger, who, with some forces, soon revenged the
loss." [Smith's Cork, vol. 2, p. 118.]

clifie. lie was born at Youghal in 1671, and wa« educated
by Mr. Robert Gurney. lie entered Trinity College, Dublin,

At Middleton he became instrumental in diffusing the light
of the Gospel among the Roman Catholic inhabitants of the
district, in the remarkable manner described by Rev. John
Richardson, in his book, entitled ** A Short History of the at-
tempts that have been ma<]e to convert the Popish Nation of
Ireland to the Establish'd Religion, &c. By John Richardson,
Rector of Annah, alias Belturbet^ &c" Loudon, 1712, pp. 37,
38.
"The Reverend Mr. Walter Atkio, Treasurer of the Cathe-
dral Church of Cloyne, and Vicar of the parish of Midleton,
in the county of Cork, and diocese of Cloyne, was the next who
put his hand strenuously to this work, whereof I had the follow-
ing account from himself : — Soon after he was collated, he set
himself to acquire a competent knowledge in the Irish tongue,
to which he was not altogether a stranger before. Then he
proceeded to perform the Offices of Religion to the natives, in
their own language, to which end the Earl of luchiquin fur-
nished him with an Irish Common Prayer Book, and the Bishop
of Cloyne gave him encouragement. He buried their Dead
according to the Liturgy of our Church, which the Living
liked 80 well that they expressed great devotion at it, and
joined their voices in the Lord*s Prayer, and the responses
before it. And one of them was heard to say at a burial in the
390 TBMPLEHfiClBBIOT, — TBBASUBERS. [CUm
churcb-yard of the Cathedral, ' That if they could haTe th
Service always, they wonld go no more to Mass.* In prooc
of time, his labours of this kind became so acceptable to tl
Natives, that they sent for him, of their accord, from all pu
of his parish, to baptize their children, to visit their sick,
bury their Dead, to church their Women, and to solemni
Matrimony to such of them as were to be married, in8omo<
that he hath married six or eight couple of a day. And one
the natives being dangerously sick, told him, ' That if he wool
attend him in his extremities, he would not send for the Romii
Priest.' And by these means, this worthy gentleman left tl
Popish Priest so little to do in his parish, that one of the ebi
of the natives, ' desired him to forbear marrying so many (
them, because this being an article of great profit to the Popii
Clergy, the Priest would starve for want of bread, if it wei
taken from him.* This hath been Mr. Atkin^s practice fi
several years, and he continues it with the same success."
Ue married, in 1699, at Dublin, Elizabeth, daughter <
Thomas Coningsby, esq., of Nien Solars, Salop, and coosii
gerniain of Thomas, Earl Coningsby (Extinct Peerage). B
this lady, who died 4th November, 1715, and was huried i
Midleton, where is her monument, he had issue : — 1. Jobi

TULLILEASK
" Berichter, of Tulach-leis, died on the 6th of December,''
Addo 839. [Four Masters.] Dr. Reeves has published an
interesting account of St Beretchert, of Tulljlease, [i.e., the
hill of the nuts], whose tombstone is still to be seen in the old
ruined church, with the legend ; — " qui cum qus9 hunc titulum
legerit orat pro berechtuine." Dr. Reeves observes that the
glebe land, " though it is now alienated,** seems *' to have been
enclosed by a circular fence, having the church nearly as centre.
Tradition represents it as about 18 acres in extent; but the
Down Survey (No. 26, B.M. of the county of Cork, — Record
Office, Custom House, Dublin,) sets it out as 15a. 2b. The
outline of nearly half the circle has been lately traced, and in
some places the rampart is nearly perfect.** '^On the same
side of the road as the church, and about 120 yards north, is
the Tobar Muire (Mary's Well), which is cased inside with
blocks of oak, about three feet deep, rudely squared ; and it is
believed to have been formerly lined with lead.*' Mr. Olden,
the Vicar of Tullylease, states that the correct interpretation
of the common name of this well — ** Poul-a-mheir** — (pro-
nounced Poulavere), is Pour Laveir, or the Pool of the Laver,
Le.y a Baptistery. The only other Baptistery of this kind in
Ireland is that at St. Doulough's, near Dublin.

Baxter had been in early life a tutor to Sir Philip Sydney.
He is entitled to special mention as a writer of some con-
sideration in the reign of Elizabeth. The poem called '* Sir
Philip Sydney's Ourania!^ was for a long time attributed to
Nicholas Breton ; because the author had placed his initials
only on the title-page. Recent researches have shown, and a
careful perusal of the poem itself will demonstrate^ that the
real author was Nathaniel Baxter.
Baxter was inducted (as we have seen) into the Wardenship
of Youghal College, 23rd May, 1592 ; and he was deprived of the
appointment, 30th June, 1598. He seems, after this, to have
retired to Wales, where he was presented, in 1602, to the
living of Troy, of Monmouthshire. He compounded for the
First Fruits, 26th May of this year, on entering upon his incum-
bency. See further notices of him in the Rev. Joseph Hunter's

In 1610 Lord Cork endowed a school at loughal'with £30
per an., and a large house. In 1728 it was kept as a classical
school. In 1812 the Bp. of Cloyne reported that the Master,
Rev. Mr. Hackett (having been appointed by Duke of Devon-
shire, against the wishes of the Corporation) had met with
discouragement and withdrawn from the place, still retaining
his salary! The house was let to a manufacturer for the
purposes of his trade. [Report, 1812.]
" Near it, the college of Youghal, stands an almshouse and
free school, founded by the same nobleman (the first Earl of
Cork). The first for six poor widows, who have each of them
lodging, firing, and £6 per annum. The schoolmaster has £30
a-year salary. The Earl of Cork procured letters patent, and

Sir Bernard Burke, in his Peerage of the Barony of De
Clifford, writes : — " William, 2nd son of Richard, 4th Dnkc of
Normandy, surnamed Ponce or Poncius, was Earl of Arques
and Thoulouse, and came into England with his victorious
nephew, Duke William. He had three sons — Walter, Drew,
and Richard. Of the eldest little is known ; from the second
descend the families of Drew, of the Grange, county Devon,
and of MocoUup Castle, county Waterford."
Camden (see his '^ Remains,** p. 130), mentions Drew as one
of those Christian names, which after the Conquest were re-
tained tLBsumames. Lysons in his *' Britannia** tells us that Drew
aforesaid had at the time of the Domesday Survey seventy-three
manors in Devon, where his descendants have remained in
wealth and honour to the present day, and are now represented
by Edward S. Drew, esq., d.l. and j.p., of the Grange. Some
of those manors, viz., Drewscliffe, Sharpham, and Hayne, con-
tinued for many centuries in possession of the family, and were
only exchanged for others more desirable. In Sir Bernard
Burke*6 " Royal Families of England, Scotland, and W^ales,**
there are two pedigrees, showing the lineal descent of the
Drew family from King John of England ; Edward I. ; Lewelyne,
Prince of Wales ; Dermot M*Murrough, King of Leinster ;
the King of Connanght; William Montacute, King of Isle of
Man ; Earl Strongbow ; Hugh de Laci, Justice of Ireland ; the
Bigods, Earls of Norfolk ; the Mortimers, Earls of March ;
M^Carthymores, Earls of Ormond and Thomond ; and Lords Le
Peer, of Curraghmore. And through the illustrious family of
De la Pomeroy, of Devon, they derive from the following
Norman families, most of whose arms they quarter, viz. : —
De Vere, De Vernon, De Canipemon, De Wynyard, De Vetrei,
De Valletort, De Mules^ De Cfamville, De Boville, De Clifford,
De Baronia^ De Fraxinis, De Treverbyn, D'Adeston.

Francis Drew, 2n(l son of John Drew, esq., of Drewscliffe
and Hajne, Devon, came to Ireland a Captain in Queen Eliza-
beth's Army, in 1586, and founded the families of Drew, of
Mocollup Castle, county Waterford, and of Drew*s Court, county
Limerick. His lineal descendant, John Drew, eldest son of
Francis Drew, esq., of Mocollup Castle, a man of great learn-
ing and unbounded hospitality, having to remove from that
place during the rebellion of 1798, came to Youghal, where, on
13th March following, his fourth son, the present Rector of
Youghal, was born.
Pierce- William Drew, of whose descent we have thus given
a brief account, was educated at his native town, Youghal, by
Dr. Bell, and having obtained honors in classics, he graduated
A.B., T.C.D., in 1821, and was ordained Deacon on 14th April,
1822, and Priest on 14th August, 1825, by Bp. Warburton, at
Cloyne.
He was licensed to the curacy of Mogeely on 19th June, 1828,
and to that of Clonmel in October, 1831. He was presented on
14th Nov., 1833, by his parishioners, at Cove, with some val-
uable plate, and on 1st Dec, 1833, became Curate of Youghal.
He married, on loth Sept., 1821, at St. Anne, Shandon,
Elisabeth, only dau. and heiress of Thomas Oliver, esq., of
Wellington-place, Cork. By her Mr. Drew has issue surviv-
ing one son, Pierce-William ; and seven daughters — Matilda-
Rowena, who was married to the late Rev. David Elrington, of
Swords, county Dublin, grandson of the Bp. of Ferns ; Mona-
Brougham ; Elisabeth-Oliver ; Catherine-Henrietta Lawtou ;
Alice Le Poer ; Christina- Rebecca- Pomeroy ; and Agnes-
Margaret-Naylor, wife of Edward Henry John Meredyth, Capt.
87th Foot, only son and heir of Sib Edward Meredtth, baronet,
of Greenhills, county Eildare.
Mr. Drew has published some sermons, viz. — 1. " Puseyism
leads to Popery, and is opposed to the Articles, Homilies, and
Liturgy of our Church." 2. "Recollections of the leading par-
ticulars of a Sermon preached in Youghal Church, on Sunday,
the 10th of March, 1861, by Rev. P. W. Drew." He also
published, 3. "An account of Youghal Church, including
Memorials of the Boyles, the College, and Sir Walter Raleigh's
house," in the Topographer and Genealogist, edited by John
Gough Nicholls, f.s.a., London.
Mr. Drew is deservedly called, in allusion to his taste and
liberality in restoring and beautifying the ancient Collegiate
Church of St Mary's, Youghal, " Instaurator ruinas'' For an
account of his unwearied exertions in this "labour of love," see
the "Handbook for Youghal," "Guide to Youghal and the
Blackwater," and " Notes and Records of the ancient Religious
Foundations at Youghal," by the Rev. S. Hayman, printed at

The Bev. James Worth was the son of Jasper Worth, esq.,
of Tytherington, in the parish of Prestbury, and county of
Cheshire, where the &raily had resided upwards of three hun-
dred years. [Lysons' Cheshire, page 732.] James Worth
appears to have been the first of the family who settled in
Ireland, and was described as of Newmarket^ county Cork,
where his descendants possessed the following lands : — Agha-
noenagh, Gortearagh, Drominarrigle, Enocknanagh, and Eillas-
seragh, all situate in the parish of Kilmeen, in the diocese of
Ardfert and Aghadoe. These lands passed by marriage into
the Newenham family, and were lately sold in the Landed
Estates Court to Major-General Longfield.
James Worth appears in 1615 as P. Island, V. Desert, and
V. Kilgarrufie. He was also, from 1617 to 1618, V. Lislee;
and from 1618 to 1626? B. Lislee.
The son of James Worth was Edward, Dean of Cork, q. v.,
and afterwards Bishop of Killaloe. His will, dated 24th
July, 1669, was proved on 2nd May, 1670, at Dublin. Bishop
Worth, by his wife, Susannah Pepper, had issue, inter alios,
three children — 1. Susannah, " baptised at Corke the 20th feb-
ruary, 1643." She was wife of Captain Epinetus Cross, of
Cross-Green, county Cork, and bore to him a daughter, Susan-
nah, wife of Bey. John Griffith, B. V. Kilsillagh, Boss, q. y.
2. William, of whom presently. 3. John, baptized at Cork
on 23rd May, 1647, who was afterwards Dean of St. Patrick's,
Dublin. Dean John Worth died in 1688, having had issne^ by

his wife. Comfort 1 eight children, of whom six died
young, and the others were— Michael, who died in London,
and Edward, who was a physician in Dnblin, and died in 1732,
leaving his property (excepting a legacy of £2,000 to Merton
College, Oxford, and his library which he left to Steerens' Hos-
pital in Dublin), to his cousin, £dward Worth, of Bathfamham.
William, the second son of Bishop Edward Worth, was
baptized in Cork on 3rd February, 1645/6, and became Second
Babon of the Exchequer in Ireland. He had three, if not
four, wives. Ho married, firstly, Alicia, dan. and co-heir of
William Barnet, of Yocksford, Sussex, and by her had a son,
Edward, of whom hereafter. Baron Worth married, secondly,
Mabel, fourth dau. of Sir Henry Ttntb, of Ballycrenane, co.
Cork, and by her hod a son, James, who succeeded to the
estates of the Tynte family, aud took the name of James Worth
Tynte. This J. W. Tynte was m.p. for Youghal and a Privy
Councillor. He married Hester, dau. and h. of John, the
second son of Sir Biohard Bulkelby, the first baronet^ and
dying in 1758 without issue surviving, left his property to
Bobert Tynte, esq.
Baron Worth married, thirdly, Dorothy, dau. of Whit-
field, esq., and relict of Sir Bichard Bulkelby, the first
baronet, who died in 1685. She died on 12th January, 1704,
and was buried at St. Patrick's, Dublin. This marriage, though
stated by Lodge and Archdall, is, I think, doubtful.
Baron Worth married, lastly, Lucy, dau. of Sir Georob
Downing, of Hatley, in Cambridgeshire, baronet, and relict of
Sir lliOHARD Bulkeley, the second baronet, who died 7th
April, 1710. This marriage took place in August, 1710, and
she died on the 9th Oct, 1710, aged 47, and was buried beside
her first husband, in the church of Ewell, in Surrey. [Vide
Lodge's Peerage, first edition, vol. iii., page 41.] Baron Worth,
in liis will, mentions his late wife, Luct/. [Mason's History of
St. Patrick's Cathedral — Notes, page iix].
Edward Worth, the eldest son of Baron Worth, was bap-
tized in Cork on 12th Marcli, 1670. He was, I think, twice
married. In the burial register of St. Patrick's are the follow-
ing entries: — "1698, February 5. Dorothy, wife of Edward
Worth;" and— "1732, May 9. Mrs. Worth, wife of Edward
Worth, esq." This Edward Worth, who was of Bathfamham,
county Dublin, and who succeeded to the family property, died
on the 12th, and was buried on IGth November, 1741, in St.
Patrick's, Dublin. He had one son, William (who married
Jane Saunders, and died Sp., ante pairem, in 1725), and four
daughters, co-heiresses — 1. Dorothy, who was married on 22nd
Sept., 172G, to William Newenham, esq., of Coolmore, county

There is a large flat stone near the ruins of the old church
of Kilcaskin, about a mile to the north of Adrigoole bridge,
and in the hollow of this stone, which contains about a gallon
of water, the country people bathe their eyes, when sore, in
expectation of a cure. If the hollow be empty, they fill it with
water from a neighbouring stream. They walk round the stone,
and kneel before it, saying prayers ; and, at each round, throw
into the hollow a bit of rush formed into a cross. They after-
wards suspend a piece of rag on a bush over the stone, in me-
morial of their devotions. It is not an effectual cure if one
may judge from the results.

of same month. Dunbury, als. Beerhaven, lies due west of
Bantry. I went from Bantry to Beerhaven by sea. In the
wfky, on the N. of the bay, is Glangarruff, Sugarloaf hill, and
ROSS.] KHXACONENAOH. 503
Dood O'Huologhan, als. Hungry hill, which is the highest in
that country. We landed at Dood 0*Huologhan, and, in a
small wood at the bottom of the hill, on the south side, we saw
above a hundred of the arbutus trees. O'SuUevane Boere lives
in a cabin at the foot of the hill. Part of Dood O'Huologhan
is in tho parish of Kilcaskan, and part of it in the parish of
Killaffhanenah.
'^ Killaghaneenah parish reaches from Bantry Bay to Ein-
mare Biver; 'tis in breadth about 3 or 4 miles, and is 12 miles
in length. The island of Beerhaven is in the parish, and all the
Dorses, and Beerhaven, als. Dunbury. There is a ohappel in
Beerhaven Island called Ballinikilty, the walls are standing,
uncovered, on tho north side of the island. Wo saw it as we
pass'd by it in the bay. 2 English families, and near 50 Irish
fi&milies, are in this island. About 10 Irish fiEunilies are in Ihe
Dorses, but no English. There was a chapel in the island of
Dorses called Kilmichil, of which some of the walls are stand-
ing. In the whole parish of Killaghneenah are about 15 Pro-
testant families ; ^vo of them French and five Scotch, which
are dissenters, and five English families which are conformists.
In the parish of Killa^hneenagh are about 80 plowlands. A
Popish schoolmaster, jS£ajor Carthy, teaches Latin in this parish.
There is no Protestant school nearer than Bantry.
" The Lord Altham, Earl of Cork, and Mr. Gookin, by lease,
and Captain Boid, have the lands of this parish ; and Mr. John
Davys, Mr. Hutchins, Capt. Boid, Mr. Fountain, Sergeant Gra-
hams, Mr. Thos. Dyer, and a Waiter live in this parish. The
Countess of Castlehaven has the rectory; 'tis worth about £18
per an. She has half of all the tvthes. The Vicar's part, by
the addition of bookmony, is worth about £25 per an.
'' The tides, at the change and full of the moon, rise about 10
foot at Beerhaven. No divine service nearer than Bantry.
About 20 plantation acres of glebe lie round the church of
Killaghneenagh, let for 20«. per an. The lands of this parish
are generally very coarse, mountainy, rocky, and boggy. That
?art that lies towards the Dorses is much better than the rest,
n our way to Kilmannah, near Beerhaven, we saw iron mine
in ye road they use at the iron works at Croomhofla^ in Mr.
Wallis' iron works. At Dunbury, als. Beerhaven, there was a
castle in the time of Queen Elisabeth, which was made a fort in
Cromwell's time.
** Beerhaven Island is 5 miles in length, within a small mile
of the main. It makes a good harbour, but there are some
rocks under water near the entrance into Beerhaven called tho
Colts. There is a bed of escalops and oysters in the bay at
Beerhaven.
<* There were no Protestants before the late troubles, neither
in this nor in ihe parishes of Kilmannah, nor Kilkatirin, nor
504 KILLACONENAGH. [rOSS*
Kiloaskan. There are a few Protestants in Edllaghanenagli —
now the Papists are humbled and become amenable to the law,
which they scarcely were before.
'' On the south side of Dood O'Huologhan, towards the hoi-
tom of the hill, grow at least a hundred of the arbutus or cane
apple trees, calFd in Irish, apples cahanah ; some of them 24
or 26 foot high. This tree grows like a shrub, severall branches
growing out of the same stock. The old trees have no leaves
only at the top. The high trees had no fruit, but the suckers
that grow at the roots of the old trees had fruit on them, on-
ripe, but no blossoms nor ripe fruit. The suckers of 4 or 5
foot height bear fruit The old bark peels off, and a new hark
grows under it. The trees, at a distance, look reddish, the edges
of the leaves being reddish. The ground on which the trees grow
is very rocky, and the roots shoot themselves into the clefts of
the rocks. The earth is blackish and boggy, but 'tis thought
to be fat earth. In the same wood ^row oaks, birch^ hazel,
crab trees, heath, fern, and furzes, and holly) which seems to
thrive better than the rest. Commonly, heath grows at the
roots of the cane apple trees.
** Tiege Sullevane is Popish priest of this parish of Eillagh-
neenagh, Kilniannah, and Kilkatierin; he has been here about
20 years. Oghigjanagh, an Irish saint, is patron of this parish;
his day is observed on the 15th day of August, the Assumption
of the B.V.
" We saw several eagles upon the lands of Beerhaven. There
are many wolves there. Bantry Bay is, for the most part, 2
leagues broad. 'Tis seaven leafjfiies from Bantry to Beerhaven.
Wc were 12 hours agowing thither, but we returned in seaven.
It would bo very fit that a minister should be plac'd at Beer-
haven, if there were a competent maintenance for him ; he
might serve Killaghncenagh, Kilmannah, Kilkatierin, and Kil-
caskin. At Dunbury, als. Beerhaven, was formerly a castle
belonging to O'Sullivan ; afterwards, by the Government, there
was a fort made there, which is now ruinous. In this parish,
and in Kilmocanioge, and in Killaganeenah, they formerly paid
40^. tythe for every saine, but now they pay nothing. Mr.
Holmes sued the parishioners in 1G63, in the Bishop's Court,
for the tythes of fish, upon which they afterwards paid 40s.
p. saine. Col. Beecher opposes the paying of tythes for the
saine. They pay for drift nets the 20th fish in these parishes.
At the mouth of the harbour of Beerhaven, the channel betwixt
the W. point of the island of Beerhaven and the maine land is
not half a mile broad. There will be at least 20 saines out in
Bantry bay this season ; 2 boats and 15 men to each saine.
*' On Tuesday, being St. Barnabas' day, I confirmed four
persons in Mr. Hutchins house, at Beerliaven. I gave among
the Protestants 4 Common-Prayer Books and 1 of Tillotson's
ROSS.] KILLACONENAGH. 505
6 sermons, and 5 little books. On Tuesday, the 11th of June,
I went to view tbe church of Kilmannah, and retum*d to
Beerhayen at night. The same day 1 view'd the church of
Killaghanenah. The church of Killaghanoenah stands within
a small mile of Dunbury, als. Beerhaven ; the walls are standing
uncoyer'd. It would be the most proper church to be rebuilt
for the parishes of Killaghaneenah, Eilmannah, Kilkatierin, and
Kilcaskin, and the minister to live at Dunbury, als. Beerhaven.
"On Tuesday, the 11th of June, 1700, I went from Dun-
bury, als. Beerhaven, to view the church of Kilmannah,
which is 3 miles from Bantry. We went to it over Knockoo-
ragb, from which hill we saw the Dorses, the Cow — a steep rock
off Dorses, the 2 Skellix Islands, and Hog Island beyond Kin-
mare River. In the Skellix a fowl, as big as a goose, breeds.
No Protestants live in this parish. This parish lies to the
north-west of Beerhaven ; it extends northward to the river of
Einmaro. There are 9 plowlands and 9 gneeves in this parish.
Some of it is the best land on this side of the Bay of Bantry.
The sheep grow fat here, and they often die with excess of
fat. There grows camomil in great plenty upon the hills
here, on which the cows and sheep feed. The Lord Altham
has all the lan<ls of this parish. About 12 acres of glebe lie
near the church, to the south of it, and about 2 acres, about
500 yards from the ciiurch on the south-west, is glebe. Capt.
Boyd pretends to a house on the 12 acres near the church, but
without any reason for as much as I can hear. The in tiro
rectory belongs to Mr. Holmes, and is worth about £7 per an.
This parish and several other plowlands are in the manor of
Altham. The parish church stands on the north-west side of
Beerhaven, near the mouth of the Kinmare River. The greatest
part of the walls are standing. It was built of stone and clay,
and is about 50 feet long, and 16 broad. The land for a mile
square about the church is good, the rest of the country is very
coarse, mountainy, rocky, and boggy. The Dorses lie west of
this church, at about 4 miles distance. The Dorses is in the
parish of Killaghanoenah. Off of the Dorses are the Cow and
Calf, two rocks in the sea. There are the ruins of a house
near the church, but they are not reckoned to belong to the
church. There is a cabin near the church, where the Rector's
house stood. There is no church-yard, but a little spot on the
south side of the church. There was, as it is said, formerly a
house of monks here, and from thence it was called Kilmannah —
monah signifies a monk, in Irish. The 13th of March, Mo-
chevus*, als. Mochevoge's Day, is observed in this parish.
** Kilkatierin's parish lies to the east of Kilmannah, towards
Bantry, and extends to Kinmare River. It is bounded on the
west and south and east by the parish of Killaghanoenah, and
on the north by Kinmare River. Some part of this, not br
506 KILLACONEirAGH. £r08S.
from the cbareh, is separated from the rest of it hy KiUagli-
ancenah parish. The Lord Altham has all the landa of this
parish. All the inhahitants of this parish are Papists. About
12 plowlands in this parish are very eoarse lano. The g^ebe,
in three parcels, contains abont 10 acres, plantation measure.
There are the ruins of a chappel at Gnolaghy in this parish.
Tlio intire rectory belongs to Mr. Holmes; 'tis worth about £7
per an.
'' The last of January, in this parish they obserye St. Eatie-
rin*s Day. It is said ne was an Irish saint in St. INittrick^s
time. In most of these parishes they obsenre the day of the
saint of the parish. The families of O'SulleYans, 0*J>on^gaDS,
^c, have their (leculiar saints. The church of Kilkatierin
lies to the north-cast of Dunbury, als. Beerhaven, towaixls the
River of Kinniare. Part of Kilkatierin lies at some distance
from the rest of the parish." [Downes' Tour.]

The family of M'Gillycuddy was a branch of the once powerfal
sept of the O'Sullivans, who had great possessions in Tipperary,
especially at Clonmel, but lost all at the time of the English
invasion, in the days of Donald More, who removed to Car-
berry. He had ten sons, men of note and valour, of whom
eight were slain in an ambuscade at Lislifionaguil, near Cork;
whereupon the O'SuUivan-More and the Sullivane-Bear re-
treated to Desmond, long before possessed by the O'Donoghues
and Moriartys, who, without contention, ceded to the new-
comers most of Desmond from Cnoc-a-ui, near Bantry, to the
River Laune.
The barony of Iveragh (except M*Carthy-More's estates), the
entire of Dunkerion, and four plowlands in Glan-y-rought, were
the allotment of 0*Sulli van-More; and the most of Qlan-y-rought,
with Bear and Bantry, went to O'SulIi van-Bear. Many of their
kin accompanied these chiefs ; among others, the Snghruos.
Several families had their living outof 0'Sullivan-More*s house,
and paid him chiefry therefor. This 0*Sulli van-More, gave
one third of his estate to his grandson, thence called M'Qilly-
OTTDDT, i.e. the child of my affections and of my goods; and his
eldest sou, and eventually most of his descendants, adopted that
name, viz., M^Gillycuddy, in the stead of their ancient name of
O'SuUivan.

Whether Donald, whose lands were thus alienated in 1595,
was father or cousin of Donat, whose son, John^ was Vicar of
Kilcatem, in 1591, it is now impossible to ascertain, owing to
the very mutilated state of the family pedigree now in the
possession of the M'Gillycuddy of the Reeks, of whose descent
1 will now give a brief statement, taken from private papers,
and from the manuscripts of the late Arthur B. Rowan, Arch-
deacon of Ardfert.
CoBNBLiUB M*Gillycuddy, bom circa 1580 (died by ship-
wreck in 1630 [U.O.]), married^ firstly, Joan, dau. of John

DoNOGH, or DoNATUS, bom in 1623, at Ardfert, county
Kerry, who entered T.O.D. on 17th November, 1640. This
Donogh was of Carewbeg, and was remarkable for his loyal
attachment to the Stuart cause. He defended his castle for
a long time against the forces of Cromwell ; and finally set
it on fire rather than surrender it, and escaped to the moun-
tain strongholds. In 1648 he raised a regiment at his own
expense in support of Charles, and obtained the Marquis of
Ormond's commission of Lieu tenant- Colon el in 1650. He
was, however, compelled to fly to the continent, where he
remained for some years. On the restoration of Charlks II.
he returned; and his estates, which were forfeited, were, in
part, restored to him. He was now advanced to the rank of
Colonel; and in 1669 was named Commander-in-Chief of the
Irish regiments collected in the Isle of Wight to serve the
Emperor of Germany. He was Sheriff of Kerry in 1686,
and died circa 1 695, in which year he made his will. He

ried Lucretia, dau. of Derryck Von Dachelaer, of Wennigen, or
Wageningen, in Guilderland, sister to Margaret Von Dachelaer,
wife of his cousin-german, Major Denis M'Gillycuddy. Captain
Daniel M*Gillycuddy died vita patris in 1705, leaving issue,
besides a younger son, Cornelius (who resided in Holland, with
his mother, and settled in Lisbon afterwards, under the name
of Roderigo Von Dachelaer), an elder son,

Thomas Stewart Townscnd (eldest son of Thomas Townsend,
LLJ)., of Thombury, by Susan Williams, his wife), was bom
near Cork in the early part of the present century. He was
educated at Hyde-Abbey School, Winchester, then remarkable
for the many good scholars it produced, and at that time con-
ducted by Charles Richards and his brother. Under their
instruction Townsend became an excellent classical scholar, but
his tastes principally inclined to English composition, and he
was a constant contributor to the press, writing chiefly on sub-
jects connected with the Church and education. He entered
Trinity College, Dublin, as a pupil of Dr. Kyle, afterwards
Bishop of Cork, and graduated d.d. in that University.
He was ordained Priest on 15th March, 1829, at Clojue,
and was for a short time Curate of Castletownsend. In 1830
he was presented by the Marquess of Lansdowne to the Rec-
tory of Timoge, Leighlin, which he held until 1836. He was,
from 1836 to 1841, R. Kilnagross ; from 1841 to 1849, R.
Burnchurch, Ossory ; and from 1849 to 1850, Dean of Lis-
more. In August, 1850, he was appointed to the Deanery of
Waterford ; but before entering on his duties there was made
Bishop of Meath, and was consecrated in November, 1850. He
did not, however, long enjoy his promotion, for he died at
Malaga on 1st September, 1852, deeply and most deservedly
regretted.
Bishop Townsend combined with very liberal views and
opinions a most devoted love for the Church of which he was a
member. He was kind, gentle, aflectionate, and just ; and
although resolute and uncompromising in what he conceived
his duty, was always ready to make favourable allowance for
the opinions and even prejudices of others. He was one of the
earliest and stanchest advocates of the present admirable sys-
tem of Irish education, on which subject he wrote much, sup-
porting it with an enlightened and disinterested devotion. He
was author of —
1. "Facts and Circumstances respecting the Irish Church."
1834.
2. "A Tract upon Education." 1840.
3. " A Letter to the Lord Bishop of Ossory." 1846.
