PRONI D3727: Armstrongs of Deans Hill,
PRONI D2475/80-90: Docs mentioning Col Dalrymple in
The Dalrymples of Langlands, by John
Shaw esq, privately printed.
Copy in the Scottish National Library, seen by AM 11/2012 & much of it
copied.
This copy inscribed:
Alexr Mackintosh Shaw esqr with the author’s complements August 1881.
It also has a number of hand corrections & additions in at least 2
different hands.
This book supplied much of HAP’s story on the Armstrongs.
Sources, as with all Irish families
are fragmented, especially parish BMD records. There are several major sources:
1. T808 in the PRONI which has a lot. I went through some in the early 2000’s
and noted a tree which does not include us.
2. the Crossle papers in the PRONI.
3. A descendancy from Sir William Armstrong of
4. The Delware Armstrongs have 2 wills of 1810 and 1818 which refer to Lancelot
(2), Joseph and Martin of Jamaica. I cannot posively link these to the Leitrim
lot. We need the Jamaican wills to clarify them.
5. The LDS has a large searchable collection of images of Wills and Deeds,
covering references back to the late 17thC through to 20thC.
There are a lot of references, but not many metion family relationships.
Many relate to Alexander of Carrickmakeggan (west of Killashandra), will of
1721.
One potential pitfall is the 1778 will of William Armstrong of Killbarcken, to
be buried at Killashandra. This is not ours: a later will of 1810 is certainly
ours with
6.
These two are referred to in the
Lancelot Armstrong dcd bef 1818, son of John of Delaware.

Edmond & Andrew – William could have been a son of these.
Capt Martin Armstrong made a name for himself at the Battle of Newtown-Butler
(Fermanagh) 1689, but was deceasedd by 1693, leaving a wife, Jennet (Beatty),
and a brother Robert, both alive 1703, she died by 1706.

There are several pedigrees of these
Armstrongs. Probably the most reliable is from the Groves Manuscripts (T808
PRONI) but there is a very similar one from “The complete (as possible)
genealogical history of the St. Andrews (

Our earliest known Armstrongs are first found in
In spite of a lot of searching,
there is no obvious “unconnected” William Armstrong of the right period, even
with the Longfield connection. Longfield seems to have been held by the
Armstrong family from around 1700 and our William refers to its lease in his
will (1801-1810).
The confusion is a William Armstrong
and son at Longfield around 1750-80, but the son died in 1777, so cannot have
been ours. The Leitrim Armstrongs left a lot of documents in the period from
about 1690 to 1777, after which they disappear. This may be because there are
no extant documents in the later decades of the 18thC. The next
documents are mid 19thC, mostly referring to land ownership being
rationalised from “infinite” leases to freehold and the Incumbered Estates
Commission.
The direct line down to us Maitlands
is incorporated into the main Poole volume. This
part contains the extended Armstrong and related families, with a lot of
background stories; the latter half includes transcripts of wills (mostly note
form of probate grants) and indentures/deeds found recently (2025). I made
several visits to the offices in
According to Bert Poole this branch
of our family started with Rev William Armstrong, born about 1720 (90 at
death?), maybe
In a letter in 1904, quoted by Bert,
Charles Shaw (son of David) decribed Capt John’s as “the youngest son of the
Rev. William Armstrong, a clergyman Killashandra”. Somewhere, Bert found her
name was Jane: maybe Douglas
Leffingwell, a GGG grandson of Rev Armstrong.
Both the
names William and Jane are born out in their marriage in Killashandra in 1747,
and some of their children’s baptisms (some Presbyterian – there is no record
of an Anglican Rev William at the time, so he was probably a non conformist),
so there is no real doubt that these are correct.
This much is probably correct, but
where Rev William (for want of a better description) came from is uncertain.
Bert suggested that he was born in Sligo about 1720:
The claim that he was ordained is
much more dubious: he does not appear in the directories of clergy and nor does
his will (only note form) mention a religious calling; however, some of his
children were baptised as Presbyterians, so maybe he was a Presbyterian
minister.
The
will of William Armstrong 1801/1810, is undoubtedly the right one, but he
is not called Reverend in that: to be buried in
Drumreilly. In
it, he mentions his daughter Mary Goodfellow, currency
in St Croix from David Irwin and the lease on Longfield, a son William, now in
He mentions another daughter,

At the moment (March 2026) I cannot
find a suitable William Armstrong: there was one who had a son William but the
son died 1777, this was probably the brother of Martin of Jamaica and produced

William and Jane were married in Killashandra, and o
The
Armstrongs who settled in Leitrim/Cavan, particularly the group in Leitrim to the
west of Killashandra (which is just in Cavan) seem the most relevant.
1. Killashandra seems to have been the principal parish covering much of the
area, and is often the place of burial.
2. Longfield appears as a residence of Armstrongs, first mentioned in
1693, until our William’s will of 1805, often

Although the full copies of wills
are no longer available, pre 1922 notes reveal quite a lot and there are copies
of a lot of deeds/indentures on the LDS database. These come up with images and
transcripts. I have been through them extensively, but as they are largely land
transactions, only limited family information can be deduced from them. They do
give an impression of the geographical extent.
Histories tell that these Armstrongs
started off in the north and around 1690 moved south into Cavan and Leitim.
There were a lot in the townlands west of Killashandra, such as Longfield and
Killbracken, Carrigallen and others connected with them.
There are a lot of Armstrongs in the
Leitrim/Cavan area from the late 17thC, but none seem to include a
suitable (identifiable) William and sons.
One confusion is that Killashandra
seems to be the only parish listed in this period, in spite of many localities
being mentioned: these probably refer to estates.
Few of the many deeds give any
plausible information on our William. Perhaps the only real mention is in 1759
where William Armstrong of Killbracken and his son William lease land at
Longfield for their lives.
In 1781 & 1783, there are reference to William father & son of
Longfield and some land in Carrigallen, but William the younger of Killbracken
died about 1777 – not ours!
From known or dednced ages, it looks as though there is a generation missing
between Robert Jnr and Martin, Lancelot etc.
This is where
T808 has Robert jnr born 1690, and this looks about right as he was in various
docs probably as an adult by 1720’s.
Robert’s purported sons seem to have been born around 1760’s, very late for
Robert born around 1690.
They were:
Martin: (Miss Ward) died abt 1809, Jamaican heir
Irwin: alive 1820
John: alive 1832
Lancelot: 1768-1810, issue to Detroit, in Jamaica 1799
William Armstrong, father and son:
The earliest William Armstrong to appear married Jane Irwin in 1702, he of
Carrigallen, and Jane, 18/11/1702, but probably a generation too early, but
there is no indication of any issue. Kildallon (modern spelling), Cavan is
about 10km south of Killashandra.
If deeds are correct, he probably had a son Martin of Carrickmakeegan, alive in
1717. But there was another Martin of Alexander of Carrickmakeegan at the same
time.....
William Armstrong took on the town and lands of Kilbracken in 1740, effectively
for ever. (the holding was converted from a lease in the 1850’s, still to a
William Armstrong).
There are several deeds relating to William father and son of Killbracken
around 1755-1780. For instance, 1759 where William Armstrong of Killbracken and
his son William lease land at Longfield for their lives. In 1781, there is reference
to William father & son of Longfield and some land in Carrigallen.
William snr was party to several deeds, including one mentioning his son
William April 1751: this predates the baptism of our William 2 in September
1751, but not necessarily his birth?
in 1751, William Armstrong of Kilbracken leased 356 acres of land including
Longfield for lives of himself, his son William & Robert Nicholl, son of
Robert N of Shanker, Cavan. This the family of Lucy Nicholls who married
William jnr in 1773.
There was a William A & Son of Longfield
in the 1760 and of Kilbracken in 1765: William senior was alive in 1773 when
William jnr married Lucy Nichols; William jnr died about 1777.
Several references confirm that this William who died 1777, wife Lucy, was the
son of William snr: Willian (snr) leased lands in Kilbracken in 1740.
For a marriage between Lucy Nicolls and William Armstrong in 1773, William
senior transferred Longfield etc to his son. William jnr died in 1777 leaving
Lucy and son Simon. Simon of Killbracken appears in a deed of 1799 and dcd by
1813 with sons William, Simon & Thomas.
They cannot have been our lot (our William “jnr” did not die until 1830).
Earlier, there was a John Armstrong of Longfield, and one pedigree suggests he
was the father of A William.
One unresolved feature are Martin (2x) and Lancelot in

The Detroit history part on the descent of Thomas E Armstrong starts in the 15thC
and passes through:
William Armstrong of Longfield and
Killibrachen, County Leitrim (living in 1773) m. Jane Irwin of Courcinahan, Killashandra, County Cavan; his brothers
included Martin Armstrong of Drax Hall[33], Jamaica, and Launcelot Armstrong of Dublin.
Whilst William Armstrong, son of Robert looks the same as ours, marrying Jane
Irwin, but the issue are different.
See 1.1 above for T808 tree – Issue of Robert Armstrong, jnr, of Leitrim who
married a daughter of John Irwin and had issue:
Martin, Irwin, John and Lancelot, with Martin of Duxley Hall Jamaica (could be

At dinner the Doctor was cheerful, perfectly correct in his behaviour, and did
not use any offensive word to his son. There was only one other guest, Mr.
Armstrong, an Irish gentleman, who lived within four miles, being the Doctor’s
nearest neighbour, and they lived upon terms of intimacy.
Mr.
Armstrong was an unobtrusive, placid man who had been brought up at a
provincial school in a pretty town in the North of Ireland, where little
attention had been bestowed upon his education, a natural indolence of
disposition tending to increase the evil. The consequence naturally was his
being deficient in every point of learning, his knowledge extending no further
than reading and writing, both moderately well. At the age of twenty he was
sent for by his father to Jamaica, who, dying in five years, the son succeeded
to a pretty fortune of between fifteen hundred and two thousand a year, from
which time he had never been off the Island, and not often absent from his

Included here are any extra stories found by A Maitland.
The original sources for Ireland are very fragmented: so much was lost in the
civil war in 1922. However, there were many late 19thC genealogies
like Bert Poole’s which contain valuable transcripts.
Apart from a few fragments, the Irish Censuses of 1821, 1831, 1841, and 1851
were burned in the Public Records Office.
So, too, were just over half of all the Anglican Church of Ireland registers deposited there following the dis-establishment of the state church in 1869, the remainder had not been sent to Dublin and survive.
In addition, the majority of wills and testamentary records that had been proved in Ireland were reduced to ashes (although transcripts of many testamentary records survive).
All pre-1900 documents from the legal
courts were lost, as were local government records for the same period.

In March 1858 William, Simon and John Armstrong offered for sale the lands of
Killbracken, barony of Carrigallen. The property was held under a lease, dated
1740, between Richard Morgan and William Armstrong. This lease was renewed in
1810, this time between John Godley of Killegar and Simon Armstrong. Mrs.
Elizabeth Browne, nee Armstrong, with this address, is listed as owner of lands
in Leitrim in 1876. The house at Kilbracken was leased by her to Wm. Murray
Hickson in 1856. The Browne estate also held land in the parish of Drumreilly,
barony of Mohill. It would appear that this estate was also connected with the
Jones family since John George Jones (Jones of Headfort family) is described as
“of Killbracken”.

The Godley family held lands in the barony of Carrigallen, centred around the
house at Killygar, sometimes spelt Killegar. Martin Morris writes that the
estate was originally bought in 1734 by Richard Morgan, a successful Dublin merchant
and land agent. His daughter Mary married the Reverend Dr William Godley of
Mullabrack, Co Armagh and their grandson John Godley built the present Killygar
House which was completed in 1813. John Godley is also recorded as the lessor
of several townlands in the parish of Drumreilly, barony of Mohill. John’s
eldest son John Robert Godley (1814-1861) founded the province of Canterbury, New
Zealand and his son John Arthur Godley (1847-1932) was a distinguished diplomat
who was raised to the peerage as Baron Kilbracken of Killegar in 1909. Members
of the Godley family were High Sheriffs of Leitrim in 1818 and 1843. In the
late 1870s Archibald Godley owned over 2000 acres in county Leitrim as well as
lands in county Louth. Denis Godley, with an address in Dublin, owned over 1000
acres in county Leitrim. In 1906 Archibald Godley held over 200 acres of
untenanted land at Killygar as well as the mansion house valued at £43. The 3rd
Baron Kilbracken, journalist, author and adventurer, lived at Killygar House until
his death in August 2006. For more information on the Godleys and Killygar see http://homepage.eircom.net/~carrigallen/killegar.html

Houses
William Murray Hickson was leasing the house at Killbracken, barony of
Carrigallen, from Elizabeth Armstrong at the time of Griffith’s Valuation when
it was valued at £20. In 1814 a house at Killbracken was recorded as the
residence of Mr. Armstrong but it has been estimated that the present Killbracken
House was built around 1825. It is not named on the first edition Ordnance
Survey map though there are buildings marked on the site. A poster in Leitrim
County Library indicates that it was the property of Thomas S. Jones in 1905
when it was offered for sale. The house is still extant and undergoing
restoration.
a
parish, partly in the barony of TULLAGHAGH, county of CAVAN, and province of LEINSTER,
and partly in that of DROMAHAIRE, but chiefly in that of CARRIGALLEN, county of
LEITRIM, and province of CONNAUGHT, 2½ miles (E. by N.) from Ballinamore, on
the road to Killeshandra; containing 278 inhabitants.
This parish was separated from Templeport by act of council in 1835, and
comprises 4373 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, besides a great
portion of mountain. There are large grazing farms and a vast quantity of bog.
Limestone is found here. The parish is intersected by Lake Gorradise, on which
stands Goradise of W. C. Percy, Esq., and Bush Hill, of C. Gerard, Esq.; and in
the vicinity is Corduff, the property of W. Penrose, Esq. There is a small
island in the lake, called Robbers Island.
The living is a vicarage, in the diocese of Kilmore, and in the patronage of
the Bishop The rectory is appropriate to the see. The tithes amount to £300, of
which £200 is payable to the bishop, and £100 to the vicar. There is no
glebe-house : the glebe comprises 365 acres, of which 282 are profitable land,
valued at £322. 15s. 6 1/2d., per annum. The church is a plain structure, in
good repair, built in 1737, by William Gore, Esq.

Valuation it was being leased by Pierce Simpson from the Ormsby Gore estate and
was valued at £40. Lewis also records it as the seat of the Simpson family in
1837. In the 1930s the castle was dismantled and the fittings sold. The ITA

miles (S. E.) from Ballinamona, on the road to Killeshandra; containing 35

Methodists, in which a school is held. Garadice Lake and several others are
situated in the vicinity. There are some vestiges of the ancient abbey of Moy,
and close to the village is a large Druidical altar. About 2 ½ miles
to the south are the ruins of the castle of Longfield which, from the gable
that still remains, appears to have been of strong but rude masonry: it was
taken possession of by Major Martin Armstrong after the battle of Cavan.

Roundwood at Mountrath was another house that looked set to sink into ruin
before the Irish Georgian Society and the late Brian Molloy undertook it’s
restoration in 1970. Although once attributed to Francis Bindon, the actual
architect of Roundwood is still shrouded in mystery. It is typical of that type
of house classed by the architectural historian Maurice Craig as being a
classic Irish house of the middle size. As at Cuffesborough and Aghaboe the
carved stone doorcase is of a different quality from the rest of the stone
work. It is a nice idea that in the 18th century you could go to the
local hardware store and select your particular door case from the pattern
books. It was built around 1750 for Mr Flood Sharp, a wool merchant, the front
in cut stone the sides in rendered rubble stone. It has four rooms on each
floor with a grand Chinese Chippendale galleried staircase leading to the first
floor while the top floor is served only by the modest back stairs. It has
cellars rather than a basement and the kitchens, normally to be found in the
basement, were in the range of buildings which remained from the original late
17th early 18th century house. Roundwood is now the home
of Frank and Rosemarie Kennan who run it as a most excellent country house
hotel, despite the odd ghostly child in the bushes or the tombstone in the
stables.

In “ Abstract of Acts of Settlement and Explanation, passed in the reign of Charles I in Parliament begun at Westminster November 30th, 1640,” we find the following “Names of Persons in Grants’* (see Records of Ireland): John Armstrong (John of Longfield), Thomas Armstrong (Sir Thomas, Sr.), William Armstrong (Christie’s Will), Sir Thomas Chamberlain, Robert Parke.
According to Wood-Martin’s work, among
others the following Cromwellian troops disbanded in County Sligo: Allen,
Armstrong, Barber, Irwin, Parke. This Parke was probably Captain Robert Parke,
whose lands were inherited by Alexander Armstrong of Carrickmakeegan in County Leitrim.
Alexander was a son of Christie’s Will.

These Haughtons do not seem directly related to ours, and were Quakers. Wilfred
Haughton was an adventurer who came with Cromwell (listed between 1642-6). He
came from the North West of England, and may be from the de Hoghtons of Preston,
related to Richard Vernon, Antony Maitland’s step father-in-law.

T808 & MIC/15A/53 contains many deed & Will extracts, which might
reveal an ancestry of William Armstrong. This and the preceding film, 52 are
copies of the earlier parts of T808, which has much Armstrong information.
Some of these deeds mention Longfield, which our William Armstrong appears to
have rented: T808 contains a large number of papers which are not microfilmed,
and which contain Irwin information as well as Armstrong. A major project to
study these.

Pedigree of William Armstrong who settled in Co Fermanagh 1604 descended from Christopher Armstrong of Scotland; recites will of Alexander Armstrong of Carrickmageean Co Leitrim who married Frances Parsons and died in 1721. His will dated 26 April 1721 mentions his wife Frances, daughter Sarah and Jean, brothers Simon and Thomas, and only son and heir Martin to whom was bequeathed Carrickmageean and other lands which were Alexander Armstrong’s by inheritance.
The pedigree includes an entry for Lancelot Armstrong of Dublin and Duxley Hall Jamaica who was born 1768 and died 23 June 1810. In 1796 he married Anne Chamberlain, daughter of Thomas Chamberlain of Dublin then aged 19 and she died in Detroit in 1863. Lancelot Armstrong held the estate of Duxley Hall Jamaica in company with his brother Martin who was living in Jamaica in 1799 and for several years after.
Other descendents include William Armstrong
of New York 1803-1840, Thomas Armstrong
(Obit) of Detroit, landowner born in Dublin 2 June 1805 died 1904, Lancelot
Armstrong of Detroit born in Dublin 26 December 1809 died 1877.
T808 for Irwins examined – no obvious connections.
T808/407-486 many random Armstrong deeds, many as repeated in 497-550
T808/497-550 starts with a tree, the earlier part of which is below. There are
many connections with Longfield, Killashandra and a couple with Jamaica.
There follow document extracts from which the tree is derived. Amongst these
are the will of our William Armstrong. There is no obvious connection with him
and the Armstrongs on this tree, but it is very likely he was related to them.
Both sets of papers have many Irwin connections.

at Tanrego in the seventeenth century. The Irwin family also had property in
the parish of Achonry, barony of Leyny. Turlough O’Carolan was a frequent
visitor to Tanrego and composed a number of tunes in honour of the family
including “Colonel John Irwin”. In 1855 John Lewis Irwin offered for sale lands
in the baronies of Tireragh, Leyny and Carbury, including Tanragoe. The estate
was acquired by the Olpherts and later the Verschoyle familie. The house was
occupied in the 1850s by Capt. Richard Olpherts. The house and lands at

Dublin Gazette:
David Irwin, Elisabeth his wife, William Irwin and Robert Graham, bankrupt of
Killahurke, Leitrim, 14/1/1792.
From : Irish planters, Atlantic merchants: the development of St. Croix, Danish
West Indies, 1750-1766. Orla Power, 2011 NUI Galway.
A Dr Andrew Irwin figures extensively in this paper
David Irwin was another settler who
managed to accrue a moderate fortune at St. Croix. Unlike the above testators,
Irwin did not leave any money to his church or to the poor. Instead, Irwin
chose to make provisions for his family in Ireland and Antigua. First however,
he wished that his two friends at St. Croix, Jooen Meel and William Beatty be
given one hundred pounds each, twelve months after his death. The rest was to
be divided among his family. David Irwin, his father, resided in Co. Cavan and
was to receive fifty pounds sterling. Meanwhile, his brothers William of Co.
Leitrim, and James of Antigua were bequeathed two thousand and one thousand
pounds respectively[47].
In this way, David Irwin’s estate benefited individuals in at St. Croix, in Ireland
and at the British island of Antigua.
Because cotton plantations required a minimum investment, they were
particularly suited to settlers of modest means. One such settler was William Beatty who maintained a
reasonable standard of living at the island. Not wishing to single out any one
church at St. Croix, Beatty left ten rixdollars to each of the Danish Church,
the English Church, the Roman Catholic Church, and the Dutch Reformed Church.
He also bequeathed ten rixdollars to the hospital there. His mother Christina
Beatty, and sisters Francis and Margaret, all received three hundred pounds.
Meanwhile, his mother was charged with ensuring that the rest of his estate
went to the Sullivan family in the parish of Killeshandra in Co. Cavan.[48]
Summary of Power, Orla
Orla Power Thesis Atlantic Merchants.pdf
The West Indian island of St. Croix became a colony of the Kingdom of DenmarkNorway
in 1733.1 Despite this, it remained undeveloped until the late 1740s when
investment in the large-scale production of sugarcane began in earnest. By the
end of the Seven Years’ War (1756 to 1763), the neutral island of St. Croix had
a thriving sugar economy. This thesis examines a group of Irish
merchant-planters who migrated to the Danish island from the British Leeward
Islands. Although they became neutral subjects of the Danish Crown, they also
maintained personal and commercial ties with the British Empire. In this way,
they successfully established a number of sugar plantations and also took
advantage of the brisk entrepôt trade that developed at St. Croix during this
period. This group shipped a good deal of sugar to Denmark, yet it also supplied
the besieged French colony of Saint Domingue with British and Irish goods,
together with African slaves. In return, Saint Domingue was given an
international market for its plantation produce. As we will see, the Irish
community at St. Croix took advantage of the complex Atlantic supply chains and
commercial networks that linked the island to ports such as London, Cork, New
York, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Bordeaux. By following strategies of
efficiency and economy, this trade became highly lucrative and allowed the
Irish community to invest in the development and expansion of their Danish
sugar plantations. As a result, their commercial activities as neutrals within
the Atlantic economy served as the foundation upon which the Crucian sugar industry
was established.
The appearance of AN Irwin Armstrong on this story is of interest, but looking
further, there seemed to have been a lot of Irwin Armstrongs, not just the one
in the Michigan tree.

To you all,
My knowledge of the Irwin/Erwin /Irvine/Irving etc. is very limited My
Armstrong tie came from County Leitrim, Ireland. The surname Irwin was given as
a given name to my 2X Great Grandfather IRWIN ARMSTRONG.
>From O’Harts, Irish Pedigree, Volume 2 P26 of the 1915 edition is the
following:- QUOTE-
(Armstrong’s here recorded a branch of the Armstrongs of Gallen Priory, King’s
County, settled in Sligo. Some of whom settled afterwards in the County of
Leitrim; and after the death of Robert Armstrong, his family removed thence to
Newton Gore in the County Cavan, where his son John Armstrong married a
daughter of William Irwin (whose son married Miss Haughton * who had 3 bros.
George, William, John) and had two sons John and Launcelot Armstrong) *
Haughton: the three families of the Armstrongs, the Irwins, and the Haughtons
lived convenient to each other and intermarried a great deal)....UNQUOTE
My Armstrongs were of the Scots-Irish persuasion and were Protestants.
I also note that one Ann Irwin (age 19) married in 1734 a Martin Armstrong
..She was the eldest daughter of John Irwin of Drumedillagh, County Leitrim,
High Sheriff of Leitrim 1737....
If you have a map of Ireland handy it is easy to see how close the Counties
were where families emigrated to BEAU/HUNT/CHAT...
The Irwins, who came in a large group of settlers from Quebec to Essex County I
will check into soon ..I have been into Genealogy since 1960 and am researching
over 400 Surnames, and being a physically, non-active, Senior Citizen it takes
a bit of time to reel everyone in...
I wish I could tell you more at this sitting but as I find a clue or two I will
gladly send on to you..
Irwin Armstrong’s son Francis stayed
in Ormstown and married a Stewart, I believe.. Checking this out...Have all
your e-mails on hand in an IRWIN File and will keep in touch. Thank you for
your mail....
Best Wishes...Joy Bell Austin-Tweney.

Last Post: TWENEY-AUST1N Joy Ruby (Bell)
Long-time Bicentennial Branch member, Joy Ruby (Bell) Tweney-Austin died on April 11th in her 88th year. She was predeceased by her parents, George Bell and Agnes Selkirk, and her son, William Ray Tweney. She is survived by her sons, Thomas Edward Tweney and Ernest Selkirk Austin, 7 grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild.
Joy was the Bicentennial Branch Newsletter Editor for many years before retiring in 2008. Most of this time was before newsletter software, digital photography and scanners so the task of producing 4 annual newsletters was not so simple. High quality photocopies of photographs taken at meetings and details of meetings including guest speakers plus certificate presentations were provided to her. She took this information, added seasonal anecdotes, humorous asides and created a folksy, entertaining and educational newsletter year after year.
Because of mobility and other health issues Joy seldom left her apartment. She owned a photocopy machine and produced the newsletter literally ‘in-house’. Joy was a great supporter of the Branch and was very proud when she proved descent from Loyalist John Helmer for her son, Thomas, in 1994 and her granddaughter, Susanne Joy, in 2006. She was a very special person who contributed much to the heritage of the Bicentennial Branch and she will be missed.

From: “Patricia O’Shea”[50]
Hello Antony. I have just come across your webpage and notice references to
Armstrongs of Kiltoghert, Leitrim. I have a 3xggrandfather, Thomas Armstrong,
who gives birthplace as Kiltoghert.
I have what I think is his marriage
and children who lead on to my line but have just discovered this link to
Kiltoghert from his Militia discharge papers.
I’m not sure from your webpage if
this is one of your lines - if not, do you have links to others researching
this family? I would love to confirm the data I have.
Here is the direct line you speak of (working backwards):
Patricia K O’SHEA b 1940 Matamata, New Zealand daughter of Ernest Frederick (O)
SHEA and Maisie Jean CAVANAGH
Ernest b Boyle Roscommon, 1903 son of James Bartley (O) SHEA and Jane Elizabeth
ARMSTRONG
Jane Elizabeth b Boyle, Roscommon 1878 daughter of Francis ARMSTRONG and
Wilhelmina LOANE
Francis b Manchester, England 1845 son of Francis ARMSTRONG and Mary Ann
JOHNSON
Francis b Boyle, Roscommon 1817 son of Thomas ARMSTRONG and Catherine CARNEY
Thomas may be the Thomas ARMSTRONG for whom I have militia discharge papers.
Discharged 1835. Residence Boyle, Roscommon. Age 58 yrs. Birthplace Kiltoghert.
Occupation shoemaker.
All these ARMSTRONGs seem to have strong links with the Roscommon
Militia/Connaught Rangers. Both Thomas and Francis the elder were shoemakers.
Francis the younger was on the permanent staff of the militia and the Rangers
for over 30 years.
I have most of the marriage and sibling information etc (mainly from COI
registers at the RCB library) and am presently working on the disappearance of
the sons of Francis and Wilhelmina - I suspect they may have gone to South
Africa for the Boer War perhaps and stayed on there. This is a hunch based on
the fact that Francis’ cause of death in 1916 was cerebral malaria, which would
be unusual given that he appears to have spent most of his life in Boyle. His
Army records do not indicate any overseas service so I am guessing at a visit
to his sons in SA around 1910.
In your experience, is there any possibility that he would have left a will?
Wilhelmina died in 1927 in Boyle - I have visited Boyle several times, frustratingly
I find out more after each visit which makes me want to go back for another
search!! I’m sure you know this feeling!!
Gearóid Ó Maelearcaidh
The problems with penalties on Catholics in Ireland go back to the Reformation
and as in England legislation was introduced piecemeal to limit Catholic
participation in national administration. The legislation in Ireland was held
back to some extent up to the time of James 1 because there was a Catholic
majority in the Irish Parliament. But in the time of James 1 that parliamentary
majority of Old English Catholic MP’s was by a variety of means overcome. Some
MP’s converted to preserve position and wealth, yet more MP’s were either
intimidated from attending Parliament, some assassinated and others accused of
treason and fled the country. With a bare Protestant majority laws were
introduced which financially penalised Catholics so that many more of the
wealthier Catholics began to leave the country.
Nevertheless a Catholic presence in the Irish Parliament did have some effect
to delay legislation against Catholics from being enforced effectively. It was
not until the 1690’s with the Irish backing of the Stuarts counter rebellion,
the Cromwellian repression and period up to the mid 1700’s that draconian laws
became effectively enforced. This creates a huge black hole for Irish genealogy
as Catholics become non persons and disappear from official records. It’s here
that old estate papers are often the only hope to find native Irish and hence
why detailed research by persons such as yourself are so valuable.
A few of the wealthiest Catholics did by means of very clever lawyers manage to
use the law by means of trusts and clever devises / arrangements to hang on to
some wealth. The one area where Catholics were not proscribed was commerce and
from the ranks of such people who managed to survive the 18th
century a small class were able to rebuild their status when the establishment
began to ease the constraints on all Dissenters. It’s possible that this is
where Michael Mullarkey fits into ambitious late 18th century Sligo
society.
The Inns of Court were one area which proscribed Catholics from the 1690’s so
that Catholics were unable to become JP’s, solicitors or attorneys. Attorneys were
a lower level of lawyer perhaps equivalent to a legal executive. Additionally
should a man marry a Catholic, or have his children be brought up as Catholic
he would be disbarred from any legal office. This was designed amongst a raft
of other administrative measures to prevent people just pretending to convert
to the Established church to gain some advantage. Eventually Catholics were
proscribed from receiving any form of education which it was hoped would
finally ensure an end to a case for their role in administration.
There was as a result a slow but gradual conversion process throughout the 17th
century as people became desperate to escape their state. But rather conversely
that conversion process resulted in some Catholics converting not to the Established
church but to Presbyterianism. The constraints on Dissenters and the opening of
America with it’s welcome to Dissenters then resulted in many of these new
converts together with Scottish settlers (Scots Irish) emigrating to America,
thereby weakening Protestantism in rural Ireland. With the Stuart cause failed
and the lack of a Catholic elite to oppose the establishment and the emergence
of freethinking, a new enlightenment gradually spread amongst Protestant
radicals who had influence in the Irish Parliament and slowly the whole
structure of repression was slowly unpicked, or allowed to gradually fall into
disuse.
The 1780’s and 1790’s were the turning point in the radicalisation of Irish
politics and because of the mood of emancipation interweaved with politics
there was a re-invigoration of Catholicism and a sudden halt if not reversal of
the conversion process. Nevertheless County Sligo where Michael Mullarkey came
from was one county outside the North of Ireland and the old Pale counties of Leinster
where the Established church did have some success with conversions.
There was good sense in the liberalisation of laws as there were fears in the
establishment not just in Ireland but in England that social injustice had to
be addressed or that the masses of the poor would simply sweep the old system
away. Catholics in Ireland were therefore allowed to join the British
army. This was hoped to counter the
emigration of Irish (wild geese) into the armies of England’s enemies
especially France. By the time of Waterloo there were 20,000 Irish with Wellington
at Waterloo but still there were almost a similar number of Irish (though a
generation older) in Napoleon’s army.
Similarly the English government encouraged and funded the creation of Maynooth
college to train Catholic priests in Ireland again to counter the effect of
Irish going into foreign seminaries and returning to Ireland radicalised with
republican ideas.
In this context there are a number of possible points about Michael Mullarkey.
He could have been a convert to the established church and as a result he may
have become a KC and JP. Because of the benefits conferred by conversion
Parliament in a series of enactments laid down a highly structured process to
record conversion. The records of conversions were sadly destroyed, but indexes
to survive. Unfortunately the indexes do not give enough detail to accurately
identify individuals but information in the indexes may perhaps be indicative
of possible conversion.
It was difficult often to administer justice at the end of the 18th
century in rural Ireland. To have someone as JP who might be seen as poacher
turned gamekeeper would have been something which would have been encouraged
especially in revolutionary times when local courts might have had to prosecute
local men for all kinds of offences linked to treason. If Michael had been a JP
and a prosecution KC against enemies of the State even at a local level I think
it not impossible that such a person might have been rewarded for his loyalty by
elevation to the Peerage. The problem as I see it is that I have been totally
unable to find state lists which show lists of JP’s for Sligo for the relevant
period and I have no idea where I might find details of KC’s in Ireland. If
Michael was elevated to the Peerage again I do not know where I am going to
find definitive information.

I have found that we have a mutual
connection with Henry Cornelius my gggg-grandfather. My info differs from yours though. I did not
do the research so I don’t know the sources.
I have the children of Henry
Cornelius as the children of Catherine Connor- married in 1791 and then Henry
married Elizabeth Orr in 1814. Maybe Orr
could be mistaken for Rogers. What is
your source?
I come down through his son Henry
and his son, Alexander. Rosemary Cryer
22 Sept 2006.
I am thinking that as Henry’s second
wife was a widow, so maybe her maiden name was Orr and the married name was Rogers.
Our records show that the second marriage wasn’t until 1814 and I only have the
actual birthdates on one of Catherine’s siblings. Obviously there is more research to be done!

I am still trying to find out who
mothered Henry’s son Alexander, after his wife, Eleanor Fitzgerald died at age
24 in 1823 having had 3 children. It
looks as if it could have been Eleanor’s sister-
a) because as the 2nd son he was named Alexander after Eleanor’s
father,
b) Alexander’s son had Fitzgerald as a second name. I don’t think it was legal
to marry one’s wife’s sister which is maybe why I can’t find any records!
As I live in Vancouver, and as the
Irish records haven’t survived too well, I am having trouble finding out if
Eleanor had a sister and when Alexander was born. He died in 1894 at age 69
according to his gravestone so c1825.
I am the granddaughter of Emma
Eleanor (Eva) Cornelius through her eldest daughter, Geraldine.
April 2001:
Hi, Antony - I’m glad you answered! I would be willing to send you a copy of the material I have which was written by Dr. William Armstrong. It comes from the St. Croix Landmark Society Archives (in the Virgin Islands). Evidently Dr. William sent a copy to his sons, and the one from Thomas John found its way into the Archives, only minus a few pages (at least). I understand that much of this information is also in the book, The Dalrymples of Langlands, a copy of which is in Edinburgh’s library if I am understanding correctly. But I have not been able to get the book or copies of it yet. I’ve also been trying to get some other things in Edinburgh concerning Dr. William Armstrong but, as I mentioned, the researcher I hired has not sent the material he says he has found. Do you have any idea who one contacts in Scotland concerning researchers who are disreputable and walk away with your money? He is supposedly a “Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.” I’d like to report him!
Anyway... When my daughter and I were in Ireland, we found first went to The Church offices in Dublin to check for “Rev. Wm. Armstrong” and found that he was not on their books. Then we found his marriage record - William Armstrong to Jane Irwin, “daughter of David” - but did not get a copy. Might you be able to send me one? It’s not available here on film. We were really pressed on time. The old church is being restored, by the way, and there are still Armstrongs living in the town. We noted that none of his children were baptized in the Church of Ireland records in Killeshandra and began to wonder whether perhaps this was because he was simply married in the Church of Ireland to make it a legitimate marriage (a requirement at that time) but actually attended the Presbyterian Church. We had to go to Belfast to find the Presbyterian pastors lists and church records. He was also not a Presbyterian minister. But in the Presb. church records of Kildallon (formerly called Croghan - just outside of Killeshandra) we did find the following baptisms of children with William or William “of Longfeld” as the father:
Elizabeth bp. 3 Feb. or 27 Aug. 1749
William bp. 26 Sep. 1751
Thomas bp. 19 Nov. 1757
Robert bp. 29 Apr. 1762
John bp. 16 Jan. 1764
James bp. 29 Oct. 1767
There are also several Marys and many
children without parents named. And there are numerous Goodfellow and
Keirnan/Kiernan (see below for significance) and Irwin families, at least three
William Armstrongs who were having children around 1745-65, and including a
William Armstrong Sr. and Jr., two other William Armstrongs, and a “David Irwin
& Company” (presumably because he was involved in trading in St. Croix -
see below!) in the tithe records of 1746-47. Note that the above baptism dates
are very close to what we would expect for the family of (Rev.?) William
Armstrong and Jane Irwin as presented in your records and those of Dr. William
Armstrong!
We also found in the Belfast Archives what I believe to be an abstract Of the will of this (Rev.?) William Armstrong... It was written 31 Dec. 1801 and proved 16 Jan. 1810, which is certainly not out of the question for someone who died “around 1808” (according to your uncle’s information and my Dr. William Armstrong’s accounts) and whose children had all moved elsewhere except perhaps for the youngest daughter. He named his wife, Mary (the second wife we already know existed!) and a young daughter, Sarah, by this wife. He also named his eldest son, William, “of St. Croix” (and I have evidence that this William was in St. Croix around this time!), and two daughters including one we already know about, Mary Goodfellow, and another named Elizabeth Keirnan. The other sons, unfortunately, were not named. He gave his land lease at Longfield (which lies just over the Co. Cavan line in Co. Leitrim) and 220 pounds of St. Croix currency which he had received from his father-in-law, David Irwin, to his son, William, and specified that his bequests were to be given only if the children remained in the Church of England (Ireland). He also requested that he be buried in the Church of England cemetery in Drumreilly, which also lies barely in Co. Leitrim just northwest of Killeshandra. The church is there in a very idyllic setting, but no gravestone remains for William or any other Armstrongs... Jane Irwin’s father, David Irwin, also left a will in 1776, proved 1777 in the Kilmore Diocese, in which he is “of Coramahon” - also in Co. Leitrim, just south of Drumreilly and Longfield and west of Killeshandra. The will was not abstracted, so we have no record of its contents.
We
also visited the home where John Armstrong lived at Cherry Valley and found out
that someone from the U.S. who is also a descendant through John visited there
last year. But the owners could not find his name and address.(that was A3M!)..

Good to hear from you, too! I spoke only briefly with Eduardo some time ago. What has he sent you? If there is anything new, I’d love to know about it...
The DNA has shown that our DNA is close to the “Armstrong modal haplotype,” which essentially means that we are in the running to connect back to Johnny and Willie in Scotland where Dr. William thought we are related. I have also discovered several close matches with others, both here in the U.S. and in England and Ireland. Unfortunately, no one with a PROVEN lineage to Johnny and Willie and their families has had their DNA tested yet; everyone is like us, and is still searching and has gaps. I’ve been making some inquiries to see if I can find someone who might be willing to be tested, and if I find anyone, it will almost certainly mean having to pay for their testing costs. There are now three of us pursuing this, and if you’d like to help out by paying for a couple of the people I find, that would be terrific. We’ve each already done our own test, plus we are each pursuing one other. Basically, I have to find at least one or two people who match us, so that I can know that we connect up to a particular family group, and then I will go back and research that line in more detail in the hope that I can discover the link.
I guess the other thing you could possibly help with is to let me know if you know of or can find any other Armstrongs over there who think they know their descent from those Scottish families.
That’s great that you found old letters and pictures in your mother’s things. Labeled, I hope? Were there any early Armstrongs? If so, I’d love it if you’d scan them and email me copies along with their names. It would be nice to compare features...
Sincerely,
Kathi

remained in the Church of England (Ireland). He also requested that he be
buried in the Church of England cemetery in Drumreilly, which also lies barely
in Co. Leitrim just northwest of Killeshandra. The church is there in a very
idyllic setting, but no gravestone remains for William or any other
Armstrongs... Jane Irwin’s father, David Irwin, also left a will in 1776,
proved 1777 in the Kilmore Diocese, in which he is “of Coramahon” - also in Co.
Leitrim, just south of Drumreilly and Longfield and west of Killeshandra. The
will was not abstracted, so we have no record of its contents.
We also visited the home where John Armstrong lived at Cherry Valley and found
out that someone from the U.S. who is also a descendant through John visited
there last year. But the owners could not find his name and address...
And we visited a fabulous bed and breakfast place in Co. Laois which was
actually the home of Luke Flood, the second husband of my Mary Aletta Biggs,
mother of Dr. William Armstrong. Dr. William lived there between about 1790 and
1800, at which time he was sent to the University in Edinburgh. That’s why I
need the Scottish records....
I have tried to prove all of the information concerning your uncle’s write-up
and have found that, for the most part, it seems very accurate. I have no
reason to disbelieve it. In this first generation, the only thing which really
bothers me is the “Rev.” tag... If it’s true, I think he was not an official
pastor ordained by the church, but he could have been an itinerant pastor, I
suppose. It appears that he was originally Presbyterian but became persuaded of
the Church of Ireland faith, as were his children.
Oh yes - Second wife Mary remarried to a Mr. Flin(n) by the 1810 proving of William
Armstrong’s will....
I’d like to go back and look at more of the church records and see if I can
find more information. Also the Belfast Archives. I have a feeling we should be
able to find more, such as something on that Longfield lease. There was another
William Armstrong who OWNED land at Longfield in Co. Leitrim, but he is
definitely not our William. And I certainly hope I’m not mixing up the two. But
with the will, it certainly appears not, because there are too many connections
- David Irwin, money in St. Croix, a second wife, an eldest son William in St.
Croix, a daughter who married a Goodfellow, a death around 1808-9, etc.
I’ll look forward to your thoughts and perhaps a copy of that marriage
certificate if you have it. And if you’ll send me your address, I’ll send the
papers from the St. Croix Archives.
Oh, I almost forgot - My line of descent is:

Dear Mr. Maitland, I stumbled on your “Armstrong “ information site while
looking for background on my own [more mundane] Armstrong, Montgomery and Irwin
Families. A few loose threads caught my eye!!
Several internet sites mention the 9 gt.grandsons of Johnnie of Gilnockie
brothers of Col. William Armstrong 1600-1664 who obtained land near Brookboro’
Co. Fermanagh. Three of his brothers are said to have moved to Carrickmakeggan
and Longfield Townlands in Leitrim near Killashandra.
The Godley Papers mention a 1739 Irwin lease for Drumsillagh, Drumbrick,
Aghavilla and Killbracken Townlands These are on the Godley Estate of Ld. Killbracken
as is Longfield and which the Godleys bought from Richard Morgan [once known as
Craigstown.]. A summary of these Irwins is in Irish Ancestor 1990, 278 in case
you hav’nt seen it. Best Wishes, Tom Reilly

Dear Antony, Many thanks for your Email. I am a retired geologist living in
West Cork and Dublin, Ireland. My mothers Montgomery family also are found in
the early Killashandra Anglican Church Registers, possibly from William
Montgomery son of John christened there in 1746. I also have an Armstrong
grandmother from Monoghan with suggested Johnnie of Kilnockie link hence my
interest.
Loose threads!!! You probably are aware of all this but several Internet sites
give details [not yet checked] of the 9 sons of Col. William Armstrong of
Brookeborough. Of these Alexander [1631-1721] is said to have settled at
Carrickmackeegan and John [1625-1695] and Robert [1610-] were said to have died
in Longfield, both these being townlands near Killashandra but in Co. Leitrim.
There is mention of a lease for Longfield of 26/6/1665 [Lawchill] as held by
Martin Armstrong, in the Godley papers. The Godleys of Kilbracken took over the
Leitrim part [Craigstown] of Richard Morgans estate, who had bought the Craig Plantation
Estate in 1734. A paper in the Irish Genealogist mentions the local Irwin
family who also held land from Richard Morgan and there is mention of many
Irwins in the various Woodford, Arvagh and Killegar Rentals. some probably
descendants?
Have you been through these? I will keep
an eye out for any Irwin/Armstrong mentions when I start looking at Deeds etc.
if you could do likewise for Montgomerys.
Best wishes, Tom Reilly.

Oliver Coll, Assignee of certain Persons describing themselves as the

Stair Park Dalrymple, from his Highness the said late Ameer Sing: And whereas by Deed of Indenture, bearing date the thirteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and nine, the aforesaid Joseph Baker did, for certain considerations therein stated, relinquish his right and title to any share of monies due, or that might become due to him as aforesaid, prior to the thirty-first day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and six: And whereas the said Oliver Colt, and the said William Hart, as assignees as aforesaid, have also executed the aforesaid Indenture of the eleventh day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight reference to the hundred and twenty-four, and have thereby submitted themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, to the judgment, award, order and determination of the Commissioners under the said Indenture, in all things whatsoever relating to the several Claims made by them, assignees as aforesaid, under the said Indenture: Now know ye, That we, the said Thomas Cockburn, Sir Robert Harry lnglis, and John Hurdis Ravenshaw, having taken into consideration Claims preferred on behalf of and in respect to the representatives and assigns as aforesaid, of the said late Major-general Stair Park Dalrymple, the first by the said Oliver Colt, as assignee of the persons describing themselves as representatives as aforesaid, upon a Bond of his Highness the said late Rajah Ameer Sing, in favour of the said late Major-general Stair Park Dalrymple, dated the 24th Mohurrum 1196, or 29th Adee.year Rakshasa, corresponding with the tenth day of August, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-five, for the principal sum of fifty thousand Star Pagodas (S.P* 50,000) which, with the arrears of interest calculated to be due thereon agreeably to the
terms of the said Indenture, is stated to amount, on the thirtieth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty-three, to the aggregate sum (principal and interest) of one hundred and six thousand Star Pagodas (S.P8 106,000); the second by the said William Hart, as the attorney of certain persons claiming to be heirs of the late Rhymut Khan, assignees of Major S. P. Dalrymple (meaning the said late Major-general Stair Park Dalrymple), on an obligation of the said late Ameer Sing, in favour of “Major Dalrymple,” dated Tanjore, 25th Mohumuni 1196, or 30th Adee year Rakshasa, stated to correspond with the eleventh day of August, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-five, for the principal sum of four thousand five hundred Star Pagodas (S.P* 4,500) which, with the arrears of interest calculated to be due thereon, agreeably to the terms of the said Indenture, is stated to amount, on the thirtieth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty-three, to the aggregate sum (principal and interest) of nine thousand four hundred and ninety Star Pagodas twenty-two
fanams and forty cash (S.P8 9,490. 22 f. 40 c.); and the third by the said William Hart, for the representatives of the late “ Stair Park Dalrymple,” upon a promissory note for the principal sum of two thousand Stan Pagodas (S.P* 2,000) stated to be “granted for and on account of the Rajah, by Sunkeraujee Sutnbajee and Rhymut Khan,” dated the eleventh day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-five, which, with the arrears of interest alleged to be due thereon, calculated agreeably to the terms of the said Indenture, is stated to amount, on the thirtieth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty-three, to the aggregate sum (principal and interest)of four thousand one hundred and ninety-one Star Pagodas and five fanams (S.P9 4,191. 5 f.): And
having also taken into consideration the
Claim preferred as aforesaid, for the one-twentieth part as aforesaid, by the
said Oliver Colt and the said William Hart, assignees as aforesaid, Do find
that the origin of the said Bond for fifty thousand Star Pagodas (S.P* 50,000)
was money lent on or about the tenth day of April, in the year of our Lord one
thousand seven hundred and ninety-five, by the said late Major Dalrymple,
afterwards Major-general Stair Park Dalrymple, through the agency of Shnnker
Row Sumbajee and Rhymut Khan, for the use of his said late Highness Ameer Sing:
And we do further find, That the said Bond was
granted to the said late Major Dalrymple, by his said late Highness,
upon the settlement of accounts with his said late Highness, through the agency
of the said Rhymut Khan, upon the original loan advanced as aforesaid : And we
do further find, That as a collateral security for the payment thereof, the
said Shunker Row, and the said Rhymut Khan, granted their joint bond to the
said late Major-general Stair Park Dalrymple, bearing date the next day, in the
month and year before written in the said Bond, for fifty thousand Star Pagodas
(S.P4 50,000) as aforesaid: And we do further find, That in security
for a debt contracted. by the said Major-general Stair Park Dalrymple with the
late firm of Colt, Baker and Company, the said Bond was delivered over to the
said firm by the said late Major-general Stair Park Dalrymple as aforesaid, and
remained as such security in their hands: And we do further find, That the said
Bond for four thousand five hundred Star .Pagodas (S.P* 4,500) as originally
granted, represented as to great part usurious interest upon the said Bond for
fifty thousand Star Pagodas (S.P* 50,000), and as to the remainder a simple
gratuity, and that consequently the said Bond was without any good and valid
consideration under the Deed, and ought therefore to be set aside : But we do
further find, That the amount specified in the said Bond was duly paid by the
said Rhymut Khan, on behalf of his said Highness to the said Stair Park
Dalrymple j and therefore is liable first,
the discharge of the legal rate of interest accruing under the deed, and
secondly, to the reduction of the principal of the said loan of fifty thousand
Star Pagodas (S.P* 50,000) ^ And we do further find, That the said payment so
made by the said late Rhymut Kbao, being made on account of his said late
Highness, constitutes a just Claim upon the part of the estate of the said late
Rhymut Khan against the estate of his said late Highness : And we do further
find, That the said late Major-general Stair Park Dalrymple, having thus
received from the said late Rhymut Khan an equivalent to the principal sum in
the said Bond, did by a Certificate or Instrument bearing dale the
twenty-fourth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred
and ninety-six, authorize and empower the heirs, executors or administrators of
the said Rhymut Khan, then deceased, to demand and receive from his said late Highness
Ameer Sing the said sum of four thousand five hundred Star Pagodas (S.P* 4,500)
as belonging to the estate of the said deceased: And we do further find, That
Mahomed Khan and Kareem Khan, of Tanjore, inhabitants, sons, heirs and
successors to the estate of the said late Rhymut Khan, assigned away for a
valuable consideration the said Bond and Certificate, with all advantages and
interest accruing thereon: And we do further find, That by successive
assignments the said Bond and Certificate have become the property of Palium
Kistnamah Chitty, of Madras aforesaid, inhabitant: And we do further find, That
by a Power of Attorney and Assignment, bearing date the thirteenth day of June,
in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty-five, the said
Palium Kistnamah Chitty, for himself, his heirs, executors, administrators and
assigns, in consideration of all and every charge for the trouble or the agency
of the said William Hart, or expenses incurred by him, hath authorized us, the
said Commissioners in London, to award, in favour of the said William Hart,
his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, one-twentieth part of
whatever may be found due to him, the said Palium Kistnamah Chitty, as the
assignee of the said Bond and Certificate for four thousand five hundred Star
Pagodas (S.P* 4,500) as aforesaid: And we do further find, That as to the
origin of the said promissory note for
two thousand Star Pagodas (S.P 2,000) it is alleged that the same was
granted by the said Sunkeraujee Suinbajee and Rbymut Khan, agents of the said
Rajah, to the said late Major-general Stair Park Dalrymple, on account of his
said late Highness, the same not being so stated in the said note: And we do
further find, That nothing is due or owing from the representatives of bis
Highness the said late Ameer Sing, to the representatives or assigns of the
said late Major-General Stair Park Dalrymple, in respect to the said promissory
note for two thousand Star Pagodas (S.P* 2,000) as aforesaid, or the interest
claimed thereon : And we do further find, upon setting aside the said Bond for
fifty thousand Star Pagodas (S.P* 50,000) of his Highness the said late Ameer
Sing, and upon making up an account of the original transaction for which it
was granted, agreeably to the principles laid down in the aforesaid Deed of
Indenture of the eleventh day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and twenty-four, That on the thirtieth day of April, in the year

Langlands/Stair Park/Armstrong.
Examination of the at SRO (30/3/94).
Langlands, Stair Park Dalrymple and John Armstrong are covered by many entries,
relating mainly to SPD’s mismanaged affairs.
ref Ayr 9962:
The trustees for the creditors of Major General Stair Park Dalrymple of
Langlands seized 7/1/1811 (misc property in Kilmarnock) on Disp of Mrs McRae
Dalrymple, with the consent of John Armstrong, her husband, Paymaster of 7th
regiment of foot, Elizabeth D., daughter of SPD and Glencairn D, his relict.
3/6/1807.
Further property seized 22/6/1813.
Loan by Donald Harrow entered.
In 1816, John Armstrong described as “of Langlands”, but during sale of
properties to James Dunlop in 1817 he was “of Cherry Valley”.
1819: seized property from SPD to General Alan Dyce.
9487: 19/9/1809: £1500 loan seized to Robert Reid, 20/9/1784, by Capt SPD.
7815: 30/4/1805:
Brig Gen SPD as heir to Sarah Dalrymple of Langlands and Dr William Park MD,
her husband, his mother and father, seized 6/4/1805 in land, houses and yards
in and about Kilmarnock. on Pr CC by commissions of the Marchioness of
Tichfield 20/3/1805.
OPR: a Stair Dalrymple born 30/7/1743 Inveresk of James
Baronet/Dalrymple and Christian Hamilton (689/8 FR2544).
It seems probable that SPD may have been born surnamed Park, and
maybe his children also. He married Glencairn D of Langlands. He
inherited Langlands from his mother’s side, who was a Dalrymple. He
seemed to have spent a life fraught with financial difficulties, but
semed to have succeeded in dying leaving a number of long term,
unsettled debts which appear to have taken JA about 10 years to sort
out.
Some property was only transferred to him in 1805 from his parents,
Sarah and Dr William Park. His property was seized for his trustees in
early 1811, but the entry has a date of
1807 attached.
and Roundwood in Queen’s County
(Laois) in the 18th Century
By D. Barry, March 22, 2009
This paper is an attempt to tell a story about a family living in or near Middlemount, in the 18th Century. In 1922 fire destroyed much of Ireland’s valuable genealogical records. By using the records that survived, I have attempted to tell the story of the Floods. At best, it is just an outline, with more questions unanswered than answered. Readers should not consider this only interpretation of the available information.
Where
is Middlemount?
Middlemount is in Leinster province, in Queen’s county (now, Laois or Leix), in the Irish Midlands, in the Catholic diocese of Ossory, the Catholic parish of Aghaboe, the civil parish of Coolkerry, the barony of Clarmallagh, and the Poor Law Union of Donaghmore. In The History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory, by Rev. William Carrigan describes Middlemount:
The public road from Coolkerry to Bordwell church divides the townland of Middlemount into two unequal parts; that to the right, which is the larger, was formerly, and is still, known as Ballyvoghleen (O’Bachlin’s Town), the other to the left, was called Laragh (Irish sound Lorra). In the latter is the Moat of Middlemount, properly the “Moat of Laragh,” a truncated cone 16 yards in diameter at the top, 25 to 30 ft. high, and seated on an elevated ridge; around the base are traces of a fosse and rampart, while the ridge to the west is intersected by several artificial trenches. It may have been an ancient fortress or it may have been a sepulchral tumulus of pagan times. The purpose for which it was raised cannot be gathered from the name of the townland, for Laragh hiberrnce laithreach, signifies nothing more than the site or ruins of a building. As the Irish word Lar means the middle, it is easy to understand how Laragh or Laithreach, which has quite a different meaning, should in this instance have come to assume the entirely unauthorized form, Middlemount.1
The moat of Middlemount is actually, a small mound, the remains of either a fortress or Celtic sacred place.
The Cashins and the Fitzpatricks owned much of the land in this area, but forfeited their estates in 1653, as Irish papists in the war with Cromwell’s forces. At least one branch of the Fitzpatricks converted to the Protestant Church of Ireland, was declared innocent of fighting Cromwell, and thus was able to keep their land. Large grants of land were made to English families. Cromwell’s forces had met with much resistance in Upper Ossory. For the remainder of the 17th Century, the new settlers were harassed by locals and they asked King William for troops to keep the peace. Thus, it is no surprise to find that Middlemount was part of the problem. A priest named Denis Creary lived in Laragh (part of Middlemount). “Among the Municipal documents in the Tholsel, Kilkenny, there is one dated 1691, in which Richard Vicars, of Garranmaconly, sets forth that, though he was tenant of the Rectorial tithes and glebe lands of Skirke, at the rate of £10 per annum, ‘the popish priest, one Denis Creary, in the year 1689, possessed himselfe of most parte of ye petitioner’s tythes, so that your petitioner in the year 1690 could not enjoy the said tythe, by reason of the troubles of the times.’ ” 2
In 1850, there were 22 houses in Middlemount. Middlemount was divided into 2 parishes, 19 homes in Middlemount, or Ballyvoghlaun, in the Parish of Coolkerry and 3 houses in Middlemount in the Parish of Aghaboe. One house has a net annual value of £20, 15 s. The other houses are values at two pounds or less.3 The larger house is no doubt Middlemount House. Today the Middlemount House, a Pallidan Home from the 18th Century lies in disrepair.4 As the population of Ireland grew tremendously during the 18th and start of the 19th centuries, we can assume that in the 18th century, no more than 22 families (probably less) lived in Middlemount. Only one family was had an estate. In addition to Middlemount, this Flood family owned land at Garryduff. In 1850, Edward Flood, Esq., owned land at Middlemount and Garryduff, in fee, or by King’s grant.5

The Flood family lived in the southwest portion of the county. Middlemount, not on the map is near Rathdowney. Roundwood House is near Mountrath.
Richard
Vicars and Garranmaconly
Garranmaconly, the grove of the Son of Conghalach, is also known as Garran. Garran Castle, which dates from the middle of the 16th Century, belonged originally to the Lords of Upper Ossory. Barnaby Fitzpatrick, an Irish Catholic, forfeited the castle and surrounding land in the middle of the 17th Century. Originally, five stories tall, two walls collapsed in the middle of the 19th century. “The castle was occupied by the Vicars family near the end of the 17th century.”7
According to Sir William Betham’s pedigrees, Richard Vicars, of Garranmaconly, had a daughter, Mary. Mary Vicars married Luke1 Flood;8 the year of the marriage looks like 1700 or 1708. Luke1 Flood is the first Flood known to be associated with Middlemount. Richard Vicars had tenancy of this land in 1690, or would have except for the priest; the land may have passed from the Vicars family to the Flood. Garranmaconly is in Rathdowney, only a few miles from Middlemount. Sir Betham’s family tree of Richard Vicars, of Garranmaconly, refers to his will dated 5 Jan 1706/07 and proved 28 June 1707.9 Some family trees on the Internet indicate that Richard Vicars died 28 June 1707; no source for this date is given, but it is reasonable.
First
Generation of Flood
Luke1 Flood and Mary Vicars had at least two (2) children, Robert 2 Flood and Mary Flood. After Luke’s death, Mary Vicars married Thad Fitzpatrick.#* When Luke is died is not known. When Mary Vicars died is unknown.
Children of Luke 1 Flood and Mary Vicars.
+2. i. Robert Flood, b. about 1703 and d. 1781/82. He married Grace Vicars.
+3. ii. Mary Flood, b. about 1705, and d. unknown. She married Henry Kingsmill
In the 1894 edition of Burke’s Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Landed Gentry, which I have not yet verified, gives the children of Luke and Mary as first, Robert, second, Mary. This information is under Kingsmills of Hermitage Park of Great Britain and Ireland.10
Second
Generation
2. Robert Flood married Grace Vicars, daughter of Richard Vicars of Levally in the Queen’s County and Grace Tydd.11 Richard Vicars, of Levally, is the third son of Richard Vicars, of Garranmaconly. Grace Tydd (b. 1678, d. 19 Jan 1748/9) was the daughter of Francis Tydd of the Kings County.12 Levally is near both Rathdowney and Middlemount. Robert Flood died between 22 July 1781, when his will was written and 22 June 1782, when his will was proved.13
Children
of Robert and Grace Flood
4. i. Luke 3 Flood married Frances Sharp, daughter of Anthony Sharp, of Roundwood, May 1755
+5. ii. Richard Flood
+6. iii. Edward Flood married Rebecca Warren
+7. iv. Oliver Flood married Mary Fitzpatrick, daughter of Patrick of Ballyboden, April 1779
8. v. William Flood married Ann Fitzgerald, Rosconnel parish 26 Dec 1761
Betham has three family trees for Robert Flood.14 In addition; Robert Flood and his wife Grace appear in Betham’s family tree for Richard Vicars. The first Flood family tree has much more information about the Vicars than the Floods, most likely, it was based on Richard Vicars will. Three sons of Robert and Grace appear in this family tree: Luke, Richard, and Edward.15 This same family group appears in Sir Betham’s family tree for Richard Vicars, which seems to be based on his will. Richard Vicars will was dated 18 August 1742 and proved 25 March 1747. The second family tree is clearly taken from Anthony Sharp’s will, whose only surviving child, Frances was married to Robert’s son, Luke 3 Flood. Sir Betham added the previous information about Robert 2 Flood (Luke1) to the tree. The third family tree is drawn from the will of Robert Flood of Middlemount as the date the will was written and proved appears next to the family tree. An entry for the wife of Robert is missing, thus Grace probably died before 1781.16 Robert’s sons, Luke and Edward,17 18who were on the previous two family trees are listed. However, second son, Richard 19is not listed among his children, perhaps he died before his father. This family tree includes two (2) additional younger sons: Oliver and William.20 Oliver and William did not appear on the earlier family trees.
If the first family tree for Robert Flood was based on his father-in-law’s will, as seems likely, then at least possibilities can explain their absence. First, Oliver and William may not have been born when Richard Vicars wrote his will. Second, if Grace had died and Robert had remarried, then Oliver and William may not have been the sons of Grace, thus not grandchildren of Richard Vicars and not mentioned in his will. The marriages of Oliver and William are much later then brother, Luke. Either Oliver and William were much younger, or the marriage records are for different men with the same name. From their position on the chart, believe it is obvious that they are younger sons. Whether Grace Vicars was the mother of Oliver and/or William cannot be assumed.
There may have been an additional son, Francis. Francis Flood is a freeholder in Middlemount on 13 July 1758.21 He does not appear in Richard Vicars’ will dated 1742, nor in Robert Flood’s will dated 1781. If he were a son, he would have been born and died between these dates. Even if born in 1742, he would have a freeholder at 16 years of age, which seems unlikely. Was Francis related to Robert Flood? If so, how?
Robert 2 Flood was a Protestant. As previously mentioned, there was trouble between the English settlers and the Catholic population in Queen’s county. It is not surprise to find Robert’s name among his gentlemen neighbors offering a reward against any Catholic bearing illegal arms. The History of the Irish Periodical Literature noted the following found in the newspaper The Irish Courant.:
The grand jury of C. Westmeath at the general assizes in Maryborough, March 21st, 1746, offer “a reward of twenty pounds sterling to any person or persons who shall, with 12 months from the date here of, lodge an information against, and prosecute to conviction, any Papist with said county for keeping, concealing, or carrying arms contrary to law.”
The worthy grand jurors, whose names are affirmed to this document, so illustrative of the blessing of the British constitution in Ireland in 1746, deserve to have their names rescued from oblivion: John Denney Vesey, William Henry Dawson, Warner Westerna, Bartholomew William Gilbert, William Wall, Arthur Weldon, William Fitzgerald, Pigott Sandes, Richard Despard, William Pleasant, Anthony Sharp, Edward Gray, Martin Delany, Robert Flood, Lamphy Higgins, John Whitley, Anthony Gale.22
Many of these men were related by blood or marriage. Anthony Gale’s wife was a Vicar. Martin Delany was a trustee of Anthony Sharp’s will. The son of Robert Flood married the daughter of Anthony Sharp.
The anti-Catholic sentiment continued, The History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory, reports that Maurice Delany, the parish priest of Aghaboe, appointed in 1760, “suffered imprisonment at the hands of his persecutors, and had to quit the parish altogether, at one time, for half a year, to escape the fury of an Orange bigot named Flood, who resided in Middlemount Ho.”23 Flood’s first name is not given.
Anthony Sharp, of Roundwood, whose name also appears among the grand jurors of 1746, was the father of Francis Sharp. 24 Robert’s son, Luke 3 (Robert 2, Luke 1 ) Flood married Francis Sharp in 1755. In Anatrim, a small townland between Middlemount and Roundwood, had a small chapel and an adjoining graveyard. “It was converted into a mortuary chapel, in the 18th century, by the Sharpes of Roundwood and the Floods of Middlemount. Over a doorway broken out in the north gable in modern times, there is a slab with a coat of arms and the inscription: ‘Anthony Sharpe, Esq., A.D. 1776.’ ” 25
Dr. Jane Lyons, who has very generously posted cemetery pictures of Anatrim Cemetery among many others, wrote to me “There are two Flood headstones in the old graveyard of Anatrim, they are in what could be described as a family tomb in the body of the church, not in out in the main graveyard.” The slab with the inscription, Anthony Sharpe, Esq., is no long legit able. 26The photos can be seen at

The will of “Flood, Robert, Middlemount, Queen’s County, esq.” was proved in 1782.27 According to Sir William Betham’s notes; Robert’s will was dated 22 July 1781 and proved June 22, 1782.28
(3). Mary Flood, born about 1705, was the daughter of Luke Flood and Mary Vicars. 29She married Lt. Henry Kingsmill. The descendents of Mary Flood and Henry Kingsmill are very well documented at My Big Family Tree at
http://www.users.on.net/~lamingtonchild/familytree/ppl/B/X/BXGYP3ZU86EMKD634R.html
Therefore, this article will refer this page for most sources regarding this line. The Chronicles of the Kingsmills states, “two brothers, William and Henry Kingsmill went over to Ireland with William III. … One of these brothers was a Lieutenant in the Cavalry (probably Henry)…. {Henry and the daughter of Squire Dunne] were married after the war. They had three sons, Henry, Thomas and Anthony. Henry married Miss Flood of Middlemount, and the Kingsmill’s of Kilkenny were descended from him.”
Other Kingsmill sources give Henry’s wife name as Mary, daughter of Luke Flood and Mary Vicars.

Generation
4 . Luke Flood, born between 1725 to 1729, was the eldest son of Robert2 Flood and Grace Vicars. Luke married Frances Sharp, daughter of Anthony Sharp of Roundwood, in May 1755. Luke marriage secondly, Mary Aletta Biggs, widow of Thomas Armstrong in 1793. Luke’s will was proved in 1800.
The Marriage License Allegation lists: Luke Flood, Esq., Middlemount to Frances Sharp, Queens Co., Protestant, 12 May 1755. 30
The dates on the Marriage License Allegations the date of the bonds, not the actual marriage date. Marriages typically followed the bond by about 3 days. Some marriages may not have taken place even though there is a bond for it.
Luke’s father-in-law, Anthony Sharp, “the eldest son of Isaac Sharp, married and had 2 children, one of who whose named was Isaac, died in his minority. The daughter, Francis Sharp, married Luke Flood, of Queens County, Ireland. The Family of the Floods are an ancient family of both England and Ireland. Francis and her husband resided on the great landed estate called Roundwood, that was owned by the first Anthony Sharp.” 31
Luke3 Flood, of Roundwood, and his brother, Edward 3 Flood, of Middlemount served with the volunteers of 1782. The American Colonies were in revolt; France had allied itself with the Americans. Protestant gentry were afraid that the French would invade Ireland, the British army was engaged in America, leaving few soldiers to defend Ireland. Volunteer militia units were formed to protect Ireland.
“In 1776, Volunteer Corps were enrolled, those in Birr being called the Parsonstown Loyal Independents. Sir W. Parsons was Colonel, and the Major, L. Parsons afterwards Earl of Rosse. Delegates from the Volunteer Corps in the County held meetings here in 1781 and 1782. Two years afterwards they were reviewed by Sir W. Parsons at Woodfield, formerly called Tullanaskeagh, meaning the rising ground near the water, and we find among the regiments, the Offer-lane Blues, Colonel Luke Flood; Lorr ha Rangers, Captain Firman; the Clanrickarde Chasseurs, Colonel O’Moore; Mountmellick Infantry, Colonel Lord Carlow; Eglish Rangers, Major Berry; Maryborough Fusiliers, Colonel Sir J. Parnell; Eyrecourt Buffs, Colonel Eyre; Parsonstown Artillery, Col. Richard Croasdaile; and the Loyal Independents, Colonel Parsons.”32 [italics mine]
The History of the Volunteers of 1782 describes the uniform of the Offerlane Blues:
Offerlane Blues, Assoc October 10th, 1773, Scarlet, Faced Blue, Silver Lace, Colonel Luke Flood. 33 (This is also described in Henry Grattan’s book, Miscellaneous Works of the Right Honorable Henry Grattan, p 137)
A medal for the Offerlane Blues was produced. It is described in War Medals and Decoration Issues to the British Military and Naval Forces and Allies 1588 to 1910:
OFFERLANE BLUES, 1776- Obverse, in the field, a ribbon, so twisted as to represent the letter “S”, with a motto inscribed upon it, In utroque fidelis Anno Dmi 1776 (in either issue faithful); and between the curves of the letter, a crown and harp. Reverse, on the rim, Commanded by Colonel Luke Flood; and in the centre, P.M. 1776; upon a banner, a laurel-wreath, inscribed, Reward of Merit. Silver engraved medal, 2 in. in diameter, with the centre sunk, and protected by a flat, hall-marked rim, with Offerlane Blues, engraved thereupon. 34
Evidence that Colonel Luke Flood was Luke3 Flood of Roundwood is in Luke’s daughter’s obituary in The Gentleman’s Quarterly of 1845. Catherine is described as the “eldest daughter of the late Col. Flood, of Roundwood, Queen’s Co.”35
Just as it had done to the American Colonies, the British Parliament had imposed several restrictions on trade and taxes on Irish Trade. Led by Henry Grattan and Henry Flood#, Irish Protestants were unhappy and petitioned Parliament for relief. 36 On 10 November 1782, delegates of the Volunteers of Ireland met in Dublin at the Royal Exchange. Among the one hundred and sixty delegates at the Grand Convention was Colonel Luke Flood. Other delegates from Queen’s County were: Colonel John Warburton, Colonel Joseph Palmer, Colonel Charles White, Captain James Stephen.37 “The city and county volunteers lined the streets, and received the delegates, who marched two by two through their ranks, with drums beating and colours flying” 38 Hope was in the air, unfortunately, the movement was divided; Grattan wished to extend liberties to Catholics; Henry Flood did not. Henry Flood, an eloquent speaker, prevailed.39 This caused the movement to lose popular support. The convention was a failure, which pleased the King and Parliament who were in no mood to grant concessions to Ireland while they fought the Americans over liberties.
Luke and Frances Flood lived at Roundwood, her father’s estate. Frances Flood was the only surviving child of Anthony Sharp40, her brother, Isaac having died in his minority. The abstract of Anthony Sharp’s will shows that he left his estates to Frances’ son, Robert Anthony Flood, provided he take the name Flood. Anthony Sharp, born in New Jersey about 1705, died in Ireland in 1781. Luke continued to live at Roundwood until his death, so perhaps Anthony left Luke and Frances a lifetime estate in Roundwood.
Roundwood, in Mountrath, was formerly known as Killanure. Roundwood’s 1680 acres was purchased 1680 by Anthony’s grandfather, also named Anthony Sharp.41The elder Anthony Sharp was a Quaker and leased land to several Quaker families, leading it to be known as Friendstown. Anthony died in 1707; he is buried in the Old Friends Cemetery in Dublin. His property was inherited by his son, Isaac Sharp. Isaac who had immigrated to New Jersey about 1702/3, returned to Ireland, in 1726 to manage his Irish estates.42 When Isaac Sharp died in 1735, his son, Anthony Flood, inherited his estate. Roundwood House was built about 1741, the architect may have been the same person who designed Summergrove House, Mountmellick. (Roundwood.com) Roundwood house which now a bed and breakfast is a fine example of a Palladian Villa from the early Georgian period.43 More information, including pictures of Roundwood can be found at:

A very funny story about an incident on the way to a turnpike meeting involving Luke Flood of Roundwood and his neighbors was recorded by Jonah Barrington in his book, Personal Sketches of his Own Times. This book has been digitized by Google. The story tells much about the quality of medical care. It includes Luke Flood, Sam Doxy, Dr. Fletcher, Apothecary Knaggs, and Lt. Jer. Palmer of Durrow, a veteran of the American war. 44
Barrington gives us a look at the lifestyle of the country gentlemen of Queen’s county in the second half of the 18th century. His description of Thomas Palmer, a bit older then Luke and his brothers, but of a similar class tells much about the era. Gentlemen wore breeches and powdered wigs (Palmer only powdered his wig to dine in good company). “He [Palmer] was the hardest-goer either at kettle and screw (except for Squire Flood of Roundwood) of the whole grand-jury.”45 This expression seems to mean the Thomas Palmer and Luke Flood were heavy drinkers, as it is followed by a quote from Palmer: “that if a man fills the bottom of his glass, there can be no good reason why he should not also fill the top of it; and if he empties the top of his glass, he certainly ought in common civility to pay the bottom the same compliment.” 46Palmer’s “boiler was seldom found bubbling without a corned round withinside it, and a gander or cock frequently danced at the end of a string before the long turf fire. Ducks, hares, chicken, or smoked ham often adorned the sides of his table; whilst apple-dumplings in the centre and potatoes at cross corners completed a light snack for … Ossoronians.” The Floods probably had similar food on their table. 47
In 1793, Luke married a young widow, Mary Aletta Biggs Armstrong. Mary was born in St. Croix, about 1768. Her first husband, Thomas Armstrong, was agent for his brother’s estates in Roundwood. He was murdered by a disgruntled employee in 1784. After her marriage to Luke Flood, Mary’s three sons by Thomas were sent to live with their father’s relatives. The boy’s names were Benjamin, William and Thomas Armstrong. 48
The will of “Flood, Luke, Roundwood, Queen’s County, esq.” was proved in 1800.49

The children of Luke and Frances are confirmed by Betham’s abstract of Anthony Sharp’s will.50 The children of Luke and Mary Aletta Biggs is from an internet site, http://www.antonymaitland.com/hptext/hp0024.txt. This site has the transcribed notes of H. A. Poole; a researcher working in the early 20th century.51 Mr. Poole had access to notes from a book The History of the Langlands, written by William Armstrong in 1854. William Armstrong was the half-brother to Edward 4 Flood, (Luke3 Robert2, Luke1) Fannie Flood and Luke Flood.
Some questions arise. There are two sons named Luke, and two daughters named Frances. Did the early children with these names die before the second children with the same names were born? Luke3 Flood and Frances Sharp married in 1755. If we assume 25 years of fertility for a woman, the children of Luke and Francis were born between 1755 and 1780. Frances likely died before 1793. Luke and Mary married in 1793; their children were born between 1793 and 1801. (Luke died in 1800, but a child could be born after his father’s death).
Luke Flood, of Luke Flood was included in the will of Robert Flood of Middlemount, dated 1781. 52 The details of the will are lost, it appears that Robert intended to leave an inheritance to his grandson, second son of his first-born. Robert Anthony Flood is not mentioned but he was taking the name Sharp from his maternal grandfather. Robert Flood’s will does not name his granddaughters, or any grandson other than Luke. Luke 4 Flood probably died before his younger brother, also named Luke was born. By 1798, Edward Flood, is in possession of Middlemount estate. (see below for Edward3 Flood (Robert 2, Luke 1)
William Armstrong wrote: “In 1810, Mary Aletta was persuaded by a friend to venture into matrimony for a third time, and the choice of herself and her friend, was James Horan, an estated gentleman, but of very cranky and disagreeable disposition. She left him soon, after they had a child who died in infancy.” 53 Did Mary’s children by Luke Flood say with her when after Luke’s death? Or after she married James Horan? Or did she send them to their relatives?
Robert Anthony Flood Sharp married Miss Horan, daughter of Admiral Horan in Dublin in 1783. Was James Horan, third husband of Mary Aletta Biggs, related to Admiral Horan?
5. Richard Flood, second son of Robert Flood, of Middlemount, and Grace Vicars, born between 1726 to 1737, died before 1781. Richard was not mentioned in Robert2 Flood’s will dated 1781,54 but is in his grandfather’s will of 1747.55 Alumni Dublinenses, a Register of the Students, Graduates, Professors and Provosts of Trinity College in the University of Dublin (1593-1860) has an for 3 students named Richard Flood. One is of interest because of the County and time period.
FLOOD, RICHARD, Pen. (Mr. Downes), Nov 11, 1749, aged 19; b. Queen’s Co. [N.F.P.]56
N.F.P. means No Further Particulars. Pen. means (Military) Pensioner. If this were Robert’s son, Richard 3 Flood, then he would have been born about 1730. This would be about the right year of birth for the second son of Robert Flood. As there were few Protestant Flood families in Queens County at this time, it seems likely that this entry is for Richard 3 Flood. .]
6. Edward Flood, third son of Robert Flood, of Middlemount, and Grace Vicars, 57was born about 1731 to 1740. Edward 3 Flood, of Middlemount, married Rebecca Warren, of Ballinakill, Queen’s County, bond dated 13 May 1764.58Edward died in 1804.59
Edward joined the militia, as did his brother, Luke. The appendix of Henry Grattan’s book, Miscellaneous Works of Henry Grattan, lists the volunteers:
“Ossory True Blues, Associated July 1st, 1779, Scarlet, Edge Blue, Colonel Edward Flood, Major Robert Palmer”60
An identical description is in The History of the Volunteers of 1782. 61
No children of Edward and Rebecca are known, however, there is a reference to a spinster, named Rebecca Flood.
“Beckfield is so called from a spinster named Beck or Rebecca Flood, who built Beckfield House more than a century ago.” 62Carrigan’s book was published in 1905, so Beckfield House may have been built about 1800.
Speculation, but not proof, that Edward had only one surviving child, a daughter, named Rebecca is based on the following facts: Girls are often named after mothers and Edward’s wife was named Rebecca. The Rebecca at Beckfield House was a spinster, not a widow. Daughter’s usually inherit an annuity, not land.
Robert’s eldest son, Luke, was settled in at Roundwood; his second son, Richard, seems to have died before 1781; Luke Flood’s second son, Luke, died before 1799; leaving Edward, Robert’s third son, the most likely to inherit his father’s estate. Evidence that Edward had control of Middlemount by at least 1798 is in Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records and Keeper of the State Papers in Ireland, of which only a snippet is available on Google.
“Flood, Edwd., Middlemount, Queen’s Co. Lease and Release Ext. 1798.”63
Edward3 Flood (Robert2, Luke1) took very good care of it.
“The Halcyon Luminary, and Theological Repository” quoted Edward Flood in an agricultural article; “I have (says Mr. Flood, of Middlemount, in the Queen’s county, Ireland) improved, by water alone, about forty acres of light, sandy, mossy soil, not worth more, when I began with it, than fifteen shillings an acre, to be now worth from six pounds to eight pounds an acre” yearly.
A snippet of Laois: An Environmental History, by John Feehan, refers to this improvement by water. “The system was practiced most extensively however at Middlemount on the farm of the appropriately-named Mr. Flood”. 64
The Port-Chaise Companion: Or Travellers’ Directory of Ireland, 1803, has the following to say about Middlemount:
“Within two miles of Rath- downy, on the R. is Middle- mount, the feat of Mr. Flood, which has beautiful gardens and finely improved.” 65
Edward Flood died in 1804, his obituary was published in “Walker’s Hibernian
Magazine, Or, Compendium of Entertaining Knowledge” in 1804. Only a snippet is
available on Google:
“At Middle - mount, Queen’s county, Edward Flood, esq. captain of the …” 66The will of “Flood, Edwd., Middlemount, Queen’s County, esq.” was proved in 1804. 67
7. Oliver Flood, the fourth son of Robert Flood. Oliver does not appear in Richard Vicars’ will of 1747,68 maybe he was born later or he may not be the son maybe he was born later or he may not be the son of Grace Vicars. Oliver married Mary Fitzpatrick of Ballybodden. There are three references to this marriage.
The first in Ossory Marriage Allegations:
“Rev. Oliver Flood, Middlemount, Queen’s Co, April 1779 to Mary Fitzpatrick of Ballybodden”69
The second in Irish Marriages in Walker’s Hibernian:
“Rev. Oliver, Middlemount, Queen’s Co to Fitzpatrick, Mary d. of Patrick, Ballybodden, April 1779, 259” 70
The third is in a family tree, “Descendants of Bryan Fitzpatrick, Lord of Upper Ossory”:
Mary Fitzpatrick, daughter of Patrick Fitzpatrick, of Ballybodden, is married to Rev. Oliver Flood. 71
There was a student at Trinity College named Oliver Flood. No county is given, but Oliver was vicar of Aughmacart, as noted in his marriage and obituary. Younger sons were often educated to give them a profession. However, it cannot be proved that this student was the same man.
“Flood Oliver, Nov 2, 1762, BA 1767” 72
Oliver Flood was a freeholder at Middlemount on 6 April 1769. 73 Although it was published in 1837, more than 20 years after Oliver died, Lewis’s Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, gives some insight on the vicarage at Aughmacart. The patrons of vicarage at Aughmacart were the Fitzpatrick’s, who in allowed the vicar a stipend of £10 10 s. The church was in ruins and the parishioners worshiped at Rathdowney. 74Note that Oliver’s wife was a Fitzpatrick.
Oliver3 Flood died in 1809. His obituary was in The Gentleman’s Magazine:
Jan
1809, Obituary with anecdotes of remarkable Persons
At Ruff Park, in the Queen’s County, in Ireland, after many years of extreme torture from the gout, the Rev. Oliver Flood, a magistrate of the said county, and vicar of Aughmacart, in the dios. of Ossory. 75
8. William Flood was the son of Robert Flood. He appears in his father’s will dated 1781, but not Richard Vicars’ will dated 1742. He may have been later, or perhaps he was not the son of Grace Vicars. If his brother Oliver was born in 1746, Oliver would have been born at least a year or two later.
William
Flood was a freeholder at Middlemount on 6 April 1769.76
William married Ann Fitzgerald, daughter of Charles Fitzgerald whose will was proved 9 Nov 1784.77 This marriage is recorded in Ossory Marriage Bonds;
William Flood, Gent of Garryduff to Ann Fitzgerald, Rosconnel parish, 26 July 178278
Betham’s family tree of the Fitzgerald family shows Ann married to William Flood. 79Ann’s brother Ephraim married William’s niece, Jane Flood, daughter of Luke3 Flood and Frances Sharp.
Other
children- possibilities
There was a freeholder at Middlemount and Garryduff in 1758 and 1759, named Francis Flood, farmer, 80 whose parentage is not known.
There are Baptism records at Durrow, also in Queen’s County, on the International Genealogical Index (IGI). Robert Flood christened in 1737. Grace Flood christened in the same year, 1737. Without looking the records, the parentage of these children cannot be determined. The names of the children, Robert and Grace, do suggest a connection to the Floods at Middlemount.81
In 1829, another Flood was baptized at Durrow, Robert Flood, whose father was Luke Flood. 82
9. John Kingsmill, son of Mary Vicars and Henry Kingsmill, married Eleanor Palmer. He was born in Ireland about 1734 and died about 1802.83
Children

i. Henry Kingsmill, born c. 1754 at Rosecray, Queen’s Co, m. first, Miss White, second, Mary Allen, third, Mary Palmer. He died 1840 at Killieugr, Borris-in-Ossory; Queen’s Co. Henry was agent to his brother Luke and was Sub Sheriff of Killieuger when his Cousin, Flood was High Sheriff. Which Cousin Flood was High Sheriff is not known. The office of High Sheriff, while prestigious, was often costly to the officeholder.

Fourth Generation
Children of Luke3 Flood (Robert2, Luke 1) of Roundwood
10. Robert Anthony Flood Sharp was eldest son of Luke Flood and Frances Sharp. His maternal grandfather, Anthony Sharp, had no heir except for his daughter, Frances and her children. Anthony Sharp’s will dated 1775, granted his grandson his estates, provided that he take the name Sharp. 84Robert was probably born between 1755 and 1763. He succeeded his grandfather in 1781. In September 1783, Robert Anthony Flood Sharp married Miss Mary Horan, daughter of Admiral James Horan of Meath St, at Mitgrove, co Dublin. 85 86 Robert died in 1803.87
Robert Anthony Flood Sharp may have been a talented amateur violinist. In a book by Charles Topham Bowden, A Tour through Ireland, written in 1791, published by W. Corbet, mentions a violinist, Flood Sharp. Whether the home on Charlemont Street was part of his inheritance from his grandfather, Anthony Sharp is not known. Anthony Sharp did own houses in Dublin.
“Mr. O’Falvey was passionately fond of music. He had been in Dublin sometime before, he informed me, and was so fortunate as to get acquainted with several celebrated amateurs, particularly Flood Sharp, Esq. of Charlemont Street whose powerful execution on the violin I had often heard Weichfell speak of. He also informed me that he expected Mr. Sharp at Killarney in the course of a few days accompanied by a Capt. Higgs.”88
Robert Anthony Flood Sharp had one son:
William Edward Flood Sharp, born 1802, he inherited Roundwood at age one. 89
11. Luke4 Flood, second son of Luke Flood, is mentioned in the will of his grandfather, Robert Flood, of Middlemount, dated 22 July 1781. His elder brother, Robert Anthony, was not mentioned in Robert’s will, likely due to his taking his maternal grandfather’s name, Sharp. After Luke 3 Flood married Mary Aletta Biggs Armstrong in 1793, a second son, named Luke was born.
12. Catherine Flood, eldest daughter of Luke Flood and Francis Sharp, was born about 1756 to 1760. She married Sewell Stubber; the bond was recorded 16 Nov 1779. 90She died 1845.
Catherine was named after her maternal grandmother, Catherine Sharp. Her marriage to Sewell Stubber was recorded in Walker’s Hibernian Magazine:
Rev. Sewell Hubber, of Meyne to Miss Flood, Roundwood, Queen’s co., 16 Nov 177991
There are some misspellings Sewell’s last name was Stubber. It is easy to see how a handwritten notice could be misread, Stubber; the S and t could look like an H. In addition, Mr. Stubber was from Moyne. Sir Bertham’s Flood-Sharp family tree indicated that Catherine is the wife of Stubber.
William Edward Flood Sharp lost Roundwood House due to debts in 1835. Catherine’s Great-grandson, William Hamilton, repurchased. Roundwood remained in the Hamilton family until 1968.
Catherine died in 29 June 1845. Her obituary was in “The Gentleman’s Quarterly”, unfortunately, it was also misspelled.

i. Eleanor Stubber married to Alexander Chetrode Hamilton93
13. Frances Flood, second daughter of Luke Flood and Frances Sharp, was born about 1758 to 1764. She married Thomas White, of Killadooley, Queens County. He was the son of Charles and Dorothea White.94
Sir Betham’s family tree for Luke and Frances Flood, indicated that Frances was the wife of White.95 Sir Burke’s Landed Gentry of Ireland, 1899, notes that Thomas White married Miss Flood, of Roundwood96
15. Jane Flood, fourth daughter of Luke and Frances Flood, was born about 1760 and 1766. Jane married Ephraim Fitzgerald, esq., of Spring Hill, the marriage bond was dated 27 April 1786.97 He was son of Charles and Dorcas Fitzgerald, of Ballyroan. 98Jane’s uncle, William Flood was married to Ephraim’s sister, Ann.
16. Fanny Flood, only daughter of Luke Flood and Mary Aletta Biggs Armstrong, was born about 1794/5. Fanny Flood married Milliard Stubber. Fanny and Milliard Stubber had nine children. One son, Sewell Milliard Stubber, married his cousin, once removed, Fanny Flood, daughter of Edward 4 Flood (Luke 3, Robert 2, Luke1 )99
17. Edward Flood, first son of Luke and Mary Aletta Biggs Armstrong, was born about 1795- 1798. Edward married first, at age 18, Miss Driscoll. She died after 8 years; Edward married second a woman who remains unknown, as William Armstrong did not identify her by name. Edward and Miss Driscoll had six children. Edward and his second wife had four children.100 Edward died about between 1853 and 1853.101
Edward eventually inherited the family estates at Middlemount. The contents of the will of his uncle, Edward 3 Flood, proved in 1804 were lost when the records of Ireland burned in 1922. It appears that Edward 3 Flood had only a daughter. Middlemount would then go to Luke’s heirs. Luke’s eldest son, Robert Anthony had changed his name to Sharp. Luke’s second son, also Luke, no doubt died before 1793. (Luke Flood and his second wife, named their second son, Luke, suggesting Frances’ son, Luke had died). That left Luke’s son by Mary Aletta, Edward Flood, as the heir.
Griffith’s Valuation, 1850, records Edward Flood, esq. as the owner, in fee at Middlemount and Garryduff. 102
In 1853, Edward Flood, Sr. conveys an inheritance to Edward Flood, Jr. The case was in The Irish Law Times and Solicitors’ Journal, published by Printed and published by J. Falconer, 1874. An extract of the case follows.
The case of In re Flood’s Estate, 13 Ir. Ch. Rep. 31S, is identical with the present one, and governs it. In that case, Mr. Edward Flood, by a deed of the 16th January, 1853, conveyed the inheritance in remainder expectant on his own ‘decease (subject to a charge for his children, raisable at his death) to Edward Flood, junior. That deed was registered two days afterwards. Prior to this date (on the 18th October, 1852) Mr. Edward Flood demised part of the lands to William Roe, for three lives or thirty-one years, at the rent of £110. That lease was not registered until the 25th of May 1854, and it appeared that Edward Flood, junior, had notice of that lease at the time of the execution of the lease of 1853. Then, by a deed of November 1857, Edward Flood, junior, mortgaged his reversion to Allen and Thomas Leech, who had not notice of the lease. It was decided by Judge Hargreave that, whether the deed of January, 1853, was a voluntary deed or a deed for value, the mortgagees were entitled to priority over the lease of 1852, and that their title was not affected by the intermediate registration of the lease.
William Roe, Middlemount is listed as a Barony Cess Collector in s Queen’s County Directory of 1854. In !850, William Roe, Esq. is the occupier of the most valuable house in Middlemount, the lessor is Edward Flood, Esq. S103o the property in the dispute is Middlemount.
Did Edward 4 Flood (Luke 3, Robert 2, Luke 1) have a son named Edward? William Armstrong, who was the half-brother of Edward, noted in his book, published in 1854, “his eldest son married an English woman who died leaving him with six children.” (maitland.com) According to William Armstrong, Edward’s children are: eldest son (not named), eldest daughter, Fannie, next, Oliver and Caroline, the youngest, William and Robert.
The marriage of Edward 5 Flood and Adelaide Jane Maddock is well documented. The first marriage certificate is from Gretna Green in Dumphiesshire, Scotland on February 23, 1847. Flood, from Annatrim or Middlemount (he gives both place names) was the second son of Edward Flood, gent. of Middlemount, Queens, Ireland.104 On March 15, 1847, Edward Flood applied for a marriage license at the Faculty Office. He desired to be married in accord with the Laws of the Church of England. The marriage took place at Christ Church in the parish of Marylebone in the county on Middlesex on 16 March 1847. Condition given is heretofor married to each other at Gretna Green, North Britain according to the laws of Scotland. His rank of profession is late of the 16th Regt of foot. Residence at the time of marriage is Up. Baker St. Father’s name is Edward Flood, Gentleman. Adelaide Maddock’s father was John Maddock, Royal Navy. The officiating minister is Charles Driscoll. R. J. Cornelius, Cap’t of the Royal Artillery and Caroline Maddock witnessed the ceremony.105 This is a primary source as it dates from 1847 and the source of the information was Edward Flood himself. The Gentleman’s Magazine of 1847106 carried their wedding announcement on page 649 under marriages in March.
16. At Maryleborne, Edward Flood, esq. late of the 16th Regt. Second son of Edward Flood, esq. of Middlemount, Queen’s co., Ireland, to Adelaide-Jane, second daughter of John Maddock, esq. Her Majesty’s ship Rodney.
This Edward is the second son of Edward Flood, esq. Nevertheless, in 1853, Edward Senior, had by deed intended for Edward, Jr. to inherit Middlemount, thus Edward, Jr was in the position of eldest son. Edward may have been born the second son, but by the 1850’s when William. Armstrong107 wrote his book, he was eldest surviving son.
Edward 5 Flood and Adelaide Jane Maddock, an English lady, had six children. Adelaide Jane died about 1853, leaving Edward with six children. In the test books of The Emigrant Savings Bank in New York, Edward’s record states that he is a widower, of Adelaide, and he has 6 children.108 It would be odd for two men named Flood in the same neighborhood, both to marry English ladies that die just before 1854, leaving them with exactly six children. In addition, the R. J. Cornelius, a witness at Edward Flood’s wedding, was a relative of Edward Flood, Sr and his half-brother, William Armstrong. Edward Sr was married first to Miss Driscoll. Charles Driscoll, in Marylebone, England, (now part of London) was the officiating minister at the marriage of Edward and Adelaide.
William Armstrong states that Edward Flood, Sr. had a younger son, Oliver. Oliver is not a very common name. Edward Flood, Jr. married Adelaide Jane Maddock. His younger brother, Oliver Flood, married Maria Louisa Maddock, younger sister to Adelaide Jane. Oliver Flood was born about 1830, according to immigration records of 1883, when Oliver and family came to America.109 Oliver Flood and family stayed in Brooklyn, either with or near his brother, Edward. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle110 of August 10, 1884, reported:
Mr. Edward Flood, Miss Addie Flood and Miss Jessie Flood, of Herkimer Street, are at Moriches, L.I.
In 1861, due to a lack of funds and opportunities, Edward Flood, Jr. immigrated to America, settling in Brooklyn, NY. 111The financial strains were evidenced by the lease dispute in Ireland. The names of the children of Edward Jr. are similar to other names in the Flood family: Luke, John (Adelaide’s father was John), Edward, Constance Mary, Adelaide Jane, and one unknown.
Children of Edward 4 Flood (Luke 3, Robert 2, Luke 1) son, (the name Luke is missing from the list of names)
Fannie,
who married her cousin, Sewell Milliard Stubber
Edward, Jr. b. 11 Aug 1823, m. Adelaide Jane Maddock, died in Brooklyn, NY Feb 1891
Oliver,
b. 1830, m, Maria Louisa Maddock, died after 1883 in USA
Caroline
William
Robert
If Edward had ten children, the names of four are not known.

The Mullarkey family held lands in the barony of Leyny, county Sligo. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation, Patrick Mullarkey was leasing over 130 acres from the Ffolliott estate at Ballyara, and almost 300 acres from the Phibbs estate, both in the parish of Achonry. In 1870 Michael and Margaret Mullarkey offered for sale lands in the parishes of Achonry and Ballisodare, in the Landed Estates Court. The Mullarkey family owned almost 800 acres in the 1870s. Margaret Mullarkey offered for sale over 280 acres of lands at Drumartin, barony of Leyny, in the Land Judges’ Court in June 1885. The sale notice indicates that the property at Drumartin was originally held on lease between Eliza Cooper and Patrick Mullarkey dated March 1790. The family are also associated with a famous racehorse, called The Pride of Ballyara, which won them substantial monies in the mid-nineteenth century and is buried on the perimeter of the graveyard in Ballyara.
Ballyara
or Ballyhara
The original Ballyara Castle was formerly associated with the O’Hara family. At
the time of Griffith’s Valuation, Patrick Mullarkey was leasing a building
valued at £3 at Ballyara, barony of Leyny, from the Ffolliott estate.
Drummartin
At the time of Griffith’s Valuation, Drummartin House was being leased by
Joseph McCarthy, MD, from Caleb Digby. It was valued at £12. In the 1870s it is
recorded as the address of Mrs. Mullarkey. The sale notice of June 1885
indicates that it was a modern house erected at a cost of over £2000 and the
main tenant was William Evans.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
The papers of the Armstrong family of Deans Hill (i.e. the former Church of
Ireland Deanery, on the outskirts of Armagh City) consist of c.5,000 documents
and volumes, almost all of them documents, spanning the period 1823-1960, but
principally that between 1850 and 1940.
Papers and background notes
There is a small quantity of estate material comprising rentals, accounts,
receipts, bank books, investment ledgers, deeds, etc, 1823-1825 and
c.1850-1960, the rentals relating mainly to Balteagh, Carricklane, Derryhaw,
Lisslanly, Killylea, Doogary and Naul, parish of Tynan, Co. Armagh, and to
property in Armagh City, but also to Boolabwee and Coolaneqague, Co. Cork,
Cloonbearla, Co. Longford (‘the Bawn estate’), and town property on Usher’s
Quay, Dublin. The main component of the archive, however, is correspondence
covering the period 1820-1940 and deriving mainly from two generations of the
family, William Jones Armstrong of Kippure Park, Blessington, Co. Wicklow, and
subsequently of Glenaule, Mount Irwin and Killylea, Co. Armagh (1794-1872), and
his two sons, William Fortescue and Henry Bruce.
The papers include (D/3737/J) a sub-section on family history, biographies and
obituaries of members of the family, etc, some of which provide useful
introductory information. Among this material is a draft biographical notice of
himself compiled by William Jones Armstrong, [c.1860?], presumably for
insertion in some work of reference:
’Armstrong, William Jones, of Killylea, Co. Armagh, eldest son of the late Rev.
W.J. Armstrong, Rector of the Union of Termonfeckin, Co. Louth, [who had]
married in 1784 Margaret, daughter of Alderman John Tew of Dublin, sister to
Helen, wife to the Rev. Sir James M. Stronge, Bt. ...
Alderman John Tew, who died in 1771, had by his wife, Margaret Maxwell of
Fellows Hall, Co. Armagh: ... Robert Tew, 49[th] Foot, died unmarried ... in
1809; Grace Tew, died in 1840; Elizabeth Tew, married to Gerald Fortescue Esq.,
Ulster King at Arms and elder brother of Rear-Admiral Sir Chichester Fortescue,
R.N., and had issue Thomas, Commissioner at Delhi, and daughter Anne, married
to William Hopkyns Northey, [?Tring], Bucks, and secondly to the Rev. Blackhall
Vincent; Margaret Tew, widow of the Rev. William Jones Armstrong; and Helen,
married firstly to the Rev. Sir J. M. Stronge, Bt, and secondly William Holmes,
M.P., Treasurer of H.M. Ordnance. ...
[William Jones Armstrong was] born 1794, succeeded 1825, married 1842 Frances
Elizabeth, Lady McCreagh, relict of the late Colonel Sir Michael McCreagh,
C.B., K.C.H., etc, and only daughter of Major C. Wilson, 22nd foot;
educated at the Royal School of Dungannon and is B.A. and M.A. of the
University of Dublin; called to the Irish and English Bar; appointed King’s
Advocate and Colonel of Militia in 1819 and subsequently A.D.C. to Governor
Bentinck, Deputy Colonial Secretary, King’s Receiver-General, etc, etc, in the
colonies of Demerera and Essequibo, South America, in 1820; has been a
magistrate of the county of Wicklow and is a magistrate and Deputy-Lieutenant
of Armagh County, of which he was High Sheriff in 1840.
This family is another branch of the ancient Border family of Armstrong,
deriving traditionally from a common ancestor with the King’s County family,
[and] is maternally descended from the second branch of the Maxwells of Farnham
... . William Armstrong by Jane Garvey, his wife, was father of Edward
Armstrong Esq., who married in 1760 Grace Jones, descended traditionally from
Colonel Michael Jones, Commander-in-Chief of the Parliamentary Forces in
Leinster and Governor of Dublin, A.D. 1649, an officer much in the confidence
of the Protector Cromwell and ancestral [sic] to some of the Jones families
settled in Leitrim and Sligo. He had two sons, William Jones and Edward.
The elder, the Rev. William Jones Armstrong, married as above and had issue:
William Jones, now of Killylea; second, John Tew, who married Anne, daughter of

D/3737/J also contains a newspaper report of Senator H.B. Armstrong’s
retirement from one of his county offices, in 1931, which makes incidental
mention of a number of other positions in public life which he filled:
’Senator H. B. Armstrong ..., H.M.L., has retired from the chairmanship of the
County Armagh Regional Education Committee, a position he has held since the
committee was formed under the Education Act of 1923. Senator Armstrong devoted
a great deal of time to educational matters throughout the county, and he led
the committee to undertaken the erection of many fine new schools ... . He is
now 87 years of age, and in 1873 he became a member of the grand jury of Co.
Armagh. He was an original member of the County Council when it was formed in
1899 [and Chairman of its Finance Committee, 1899-1920], and he remained a
member until 1920. From 1906 till 1909 he was Vice-Chairman, and Chairman from
1909 till his retirement. In 1875 Senator Armstrong was High Sheriff of Co.
Armagh and in 1894 he filled the same office in Longford. In 1920 he became a
member of the Senate of Queen’s University [Belfast], and in 1921 was returned
unopposed to represent Mid-Armagh in the Imperial Parliament. For a quarter of
a century [actually, 1897-1921] he has been a member of the Representative Body
of the Church of Ireland. In his earlier days he travelled extensively in the
East and Far East. Just this week he has been appointed Vice-Chairman of the
Board of Governors of Armagh Royal School.’
These biographical, genealogical and official details are important to an
understanding of the connections subsisting between the Armstrongs and their
correspondents and of the various public offices which the correspondence
reflects.
Correspondence
The correspondence of William Jones Armstrong (1794-1872) runs from 1820 to
1872 and relates initially to Guyana, where he held office in the 1820s as King’s
Advocate in Berbice and Deputy Colonial Secretary in Demerera and Essequibo.
Thereafter, it relates to Armagh estate business and to landlord-tenant
relations generally, to the situation of those who, like Armstrong, were chief
tenants of Trinity College, Dublin, to railway development in Ulster, to the
affairs of Armstrong’s family and friends (notably Thomas Fortescue of Suffolk
Hall, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire), and to Armstrong’s quarrel in 1865 with his
younger brother and solicitor, John Tew Armstrong of Dominick Street, Dublin.
The few letters and papers, 1860-1871, of Armstrong’s elder son, Lieutenant
William Fortescue Armstrong (b. 1843; d. 18710, are mainly about business,
social events and his short-lived career in the 7th Hussars in
India.
The numerous letters and papers, 1868-1943, of Armstrong’s younger son and
successor, Senator the Rt Hon. Henry Bruce Armstrong, H.M.L., of Killylea and
Deans Hill, Co. Armagh (1844-1943), concern family, estate and financial
affairs, the situation of the tenants of T.C.D. under the successive Land Acts,
Land Purchase generally, Armstrong’s youthful career at the Inner Temple and
the London Bar and youthful travels in North America, India, China and Japan,
the financial and Co. Wexford estate affairs of Thomas Fortescue (his mother’s
first cousin), which occupied Armstrong as an executor from Fortescue’s death
in 1872 until 1902, Co. Armagh local politics and administration (from 1873,
when Armstrong first served on the grand jury to 1939, when he retired as
H.M.L. for the county), the Co. Longford shrievalty (which he held in 1894),
the Irish Convention, 1917-1918 (of which he was a member), his service as a
Unionist M.P. for Mid-Armagh at Westminster, 1921-1922, and as a Senator, Privy
Councillor and Lord Justice (in the absence of the Governor) of Northern
Ireland, 1921-1938, the affairs of the Church of Ireland, in the archdiocese of
Armagh and generally, and architectural operations or projects involving Armagh
Cathedral and Infirmary, Deans Hill, Killymoon Castle (Cookstown, Co. Tyrone),
Killylea Church and the Usher’s Quay property in Dublin. (Armstrong bought
Deans Hill from the Representative Church Body of the Church of Ireland in
1888, and moved in as soon as alterations and refurbishments permitted.)
Among Armstrong’s noteworthy correspondents are: J.T. Agg-Gardner, M.P. for
Cheltenham, 1874-1880, 1885-1892 and 1900-1906, and other members of his
family, 1877-1921; William Alexander, Archbishop of Armagh, 1896-1911 (the
letters cover roughly the same period); Frederick A. Butler, a Dublin-based
architect, who attended to the Usher’s Quay property of H.B. Armstrong as well
as being concerned with various architectural commissions in Armagh (the
cathedral and infirmary, Killylea Church, etc), 1869-1890; Sir John B.
Lonsdale, Bt, H.M.L for the county, 1910-1924; the Hon. Albert D. Ryder, a
friend of Armstrong’s at Trinity College, Cambridge, and his companion on some
of his foreign travels, c.1870-1881; Charles Vane-Tempest-Stewart, 7th
Marquess of Londonderry, Leader of the Northern Ireland Senate and Northern
Ireland Minister of Education, 1927-1931; and H.D. Traill of The St James’s
Gazette, c.1875-1885.
In addition, there are diaries and correspondence, c.1910-1950, of Armstrong’s
daughter, Miss Margaret Armstrong, a few letters and papers, 1949-1953, of his
grandson and successor, Capt. Michael H. Armstrong, M.B.D., D.L. (1924-1982),
and sundry newspapers, newspaper cuttings, photographs and printed matter,
c.1860-c.1940, mainly bearing on Co. Armagh and local Unionist politics.

Ireland Deanery, on the outskirts of Armagh City) consist of c.5,000 documents
and volumes, almost all of them documents, spanning the period 1823-1960, but
principally that between 1850 and 1940.

Papers and background notes
There is a small quantity of estate material comprising rentals, accounts,
receipts, bank books, investment ledgers, deeds, etc, 1823-1825 and
c.1850-1960, the rentals relating mainly to Balteagh, Carricklane, Derryhaw,
Lisslanly, Killylea, Doogary and Naul, parish of Tynan, Co. Armagh, and to
property in Armagh City, but also to Boolabwee and Coolaneqague, Co. Cork,
Cloonbearla, Co. Longford (‘the Bawn estate’), and town
property on Usher’s Quay, Dublin. The main
component of the archive, however, is correspondence covering the period
1820-1940 and deriving mainly from two generations of the family, William Jones
Armstrong of Kippure Park, Blessington, Co. Wicklow, and subsequently of
Glenaule, Mount Irwin and Killylea, Co. Armagh (1794-1872), and his two sons,
William Fortescue and Henry Bruce.
The papers include (D3727/J) a sub-section on family history, biographies and
obituaries of members of the family, etc, some of which provide useful
introductory information. Among this material is a draft biographical notice of
himself compiled by William Jones Armstrong, [c.1860?], presumably for
insertion in some work of reference:
’Armstrong, William Jones, of Killylea, Co. Armagh, eldest son of the late Rev.
W.J. Armstrong, Rector of the Union of Termonfeckin, Co. Louth, [who had]

Notes for ELIZABETH ROGERS: ref Henry’s will: Mrs. Rogers was the widow of the
Rev. James Roberts and had a daughter Mary Anne who is mentioned in Henry’s
will. This is not verified but seems likely! He left Mary Anne, her second
daughter, 50 pounds sterling.
Children of HENRY CORNELIUS and CATHERINE
CONNER are:
1/1. CATHERINE LOUISA CORNELIUS,
b. 11 Apr 1792,
Springfield, Cork, Ireland; d. 05 May 1852, New London, Connecticut, USA1;
m. THOMAS ARMSTRONG, 21 May 1810; b. 23 Feb 1787, Carrick, Meath, Ireland; d.
03 Aug 1863, New London, Connecticut, USA1.
Notes for THOMAS ARMSTRONG:
Thomas Armstrong born at Carrick, West Meath,
on February 23/1787, died at New London, Conn., August 3/1863, buried here with
his wife.
Nothing is known of his early youth or education. He married on May 31 1810, Catherine Louisa
Cornelius, born at Springfield, County Cork, Ireland, April 11/1792, died at
New London, Conn. May 5/1852. Her
father, Henry Cornelius was said to have come from Holland and was twice
married, probably living at Springfield, Cork, with his first wife, the pretty
Kate Connor of Cork. Henry married, 2nd, a widow named Mrs. Rogers,
many years younger than himself, and they lived at Montrath, Queen’s County,
where Henry was agent of the Earl of Mountrath. This probably explains how
Catherine met Thomas Armstrong. Catherine was the daughter of Henry Cornelius’
second marriage, and she had two sisters, Margaret, who married William Penrose
Robinson of Shaxarook Lawn, Douglas, County Cork, and Bessie Cornelius.
Catherine also had three brothers, Henry Cornelius, Captain Charles Cornelius
of the 71st Regiment, and Richard Cornelius a captain in the army.
Through the interest of her father Henry Cornelius, Thomas Armstrong got a
sinecure position in Dublin worth £300, and they lived there nine years. This
position he resigned to go to St.
Croix. During their nine years in
Ireland, eight children were born, four of whom lived to grow up.
In 1819, Thomas and Catherine
Armstrong went out to St. Croix, leaving five daughters behind. At St. Croix he
bought an estate called Lebanon Hill from Dr. Biggs: he also got an estate
named Mount Welcome which he got from his uncle William. The five daughters left in Ireland were
placed in the care of relatives, and were sent to a school kept by Madame
Despard in Dublin, and were taught music, dancing and deportment In St. Croix,
seven children had been added to the family. Then preparations were made for
the five sisters to come out from Ireland in the care of Dr. William Armstrong, who wanted his family to
come over also.
So on September 25/1825, the
regular packet ship “Silas Richards”, sailed from Liverpool, having on board as
passengers, the five sisters, and their twin boy cousins, all under charge of
the boys’ grandmother Mrs. Taylor. After a somewhat tempestuous voyage, the
ship arrived at New York on October 28/1828, with dry goods to Fish, Grinnell
& Co. The ship was built in New York about 1822 for Grinnell, Minturn &
Co., who established the Swallow Tail Line of packets: she was of 453 tons. The
girl’s father Thomas Armstrong, who had become acquainted with Captain Joseph
W. Alsop of Middletown, Conn. was doing
business with him, and arranged that the little girls should go to St. Croix in Captain Alsop’s brig “Condor”,
Captain Goodrich commanding.
The next outward voyage was not for
two months, so the little girls had a delightful visit in New York. They stayed
with a friend of Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Cadwallader Golden, whom she had met in England.
They visited the Museum and other places of interest.
Mrs. Taylor liked to show them off when walking on
Broadway and they often heard persons passing by say:-“there go the little
English girls”. The “Condor” sailed on December 23/1828 from New York for
St. Croix. The boys must have remained
in New York with their father, and I’m sure Mrs. Taylor never went to St. Croix:
I don’t know what became of her. The
little girls were in the care of the captain and the voyage was progressing
favorably, when one day the Captain observed a strange sail on the horizon,
coming nearer and nearer. The Captain, not liking the looks or the vessel, grew
very uneasy as it was in the days of piracy.
The Captain made the girls go down
into the cabin and locked them in, telling them to remain very quiet. The
vessel turned out to be a pirate, but unfortunately for the latter, the men
were in a half starved condition and weak from want of food, and told the
Captain that if he would only give them food, they would not molest them. The
Captain considered they had had a most fortunate escape, and told the girls
they might have been taken, but that he was prepared to shoot them before
letting them fall into the pirate’s hands. The voyage must have taken about
three weeks, so around January 20/1829, they arrived at St. Croix, to be
greeted by the mother who they had not seen for ten years, and by brothers and
sisters they had never seen. I doubt that there were any opportunities for
education at St. Croix. Up to the present, Thomas and Catherine had had fifteen
children, several of them having passed away, and ere eight years had flown by,
three more were added to the household. The name of the estate they lived at
was Mount Pleasant, though the name Mount Welcome comes to my mind. In December
1832 the family were in Middletown, Conn., at what is now 180 Washington St. At
this time their child Anna Maria received burns from the fireplace in the
dining room, which caused her death. Thomas Armstrong was in New London in June
1839, and still there in June 1940.
He was offered a lot by Captain
Mather for $4000: the western half was 98 ft on Washington St. and 93 ft on the
Rope Walk. At this time the Robert Beattys came back to the States, and Thomas
Armstrong and his family went back to St. Croix, having bought the “Lebanon”
estate from Robert Beatty for $14,474.97.
There was also a fountain which cost $300. The family were in St. Croix
in August 1844, by which time their son Thomas had gone out west to where his
brother William was living, on the border of a lake where the hunting and
fishing were excellent: Thomas was devoted to both sports. Thomas had left a
name in St. Croix of being the most correct young man in business, and it was a
pity that his talents should have been wasted in the back woods. Thomas and
Catherine were still at Lebanon in 1849: there must have been an insurrection
previous to this time end many people feared there would be another. There was
a very strict Governor who was determined to have the strict laws obeyed. They
were still there in 1851. Catherine had
been in St. Thomas, as she was not well, and it was decided to send her to the
States in Captain Tikiole’s vessel to New Haven, as the doctors said it was the
only chance for her health. Her husband
Thomas had the hardest time that summer to get along: he was anxious to sell
out and the family were anxious to leave St. Croix. Lebanon Hill was an estate
of 500 acres, and was appraised on November 2/1849 for $24,424. The crops were sugar rum and molasses, which
for the year 1849 were:-84 hogsheads and 145 barrels of sugar, 41 puns and 3
barrels of rum, and 53 casks of molasses, and the net proceeds were $3165.17. Mount
Pleasant estate was rented to Mr. S. Kelton for $298. Lebanon Hill would rent
for $200. Mrs. Mary Cummings, who died in 1846, and Mrs Wittroz were interested
in the Lebanon Hill property. Thomas, Catherine and their family must have come
to the states in 1852, the year in which Catherine died unexpectedly. Their
coming may have been hastened by the insurrection. They did not have a large
supply of this world’s goods to bring with them. Thomas Armstrong’s last years
were spent in New London with his daughters Frances and Elizabeth keeping house
for him. Amongst some of the silver of
Thomas and Catherine which has come down through the family, is a spoon, with
the crest of the Armstrongs of King’s County, Ireland, which was “An armed hand
holding a broken ulig spear, ppr”. The motto is “Vi at Armis”. The spoon has
the hall mark of John Pitter, Dublin, 1810.

was born 25 Sep 1856 in Ross na clonagh, Mountrath,
Ireland, and died 08 Mar 1931 in Pahiatua, New Zealand. He married MARGARET DALZIEL REESE 21 Sep 1905
in Christchurch, NZ, daughter of DANIEL REESE and CECILIA WILSON. She was born 14 Apr 1869 in Christchurch, NZ,
and died 04 Apr 1962 in Rossnaclonagh, NZ.
Along with his sister Susannah Kemmis C.-Harry was the first of the Cornelius
clan to go to NZ, in 1874. He sponsored his 5 nephews who emigrated. He paid
the boat fare for 4 of the brothers and they worked for him to repay the fare.
His nephew George and his son-in-law Teddy Walker, found him dead on horseback
on his farm at Ross na Clonagh, Pahiatua.
Excerpt from Tui Country:
”Then on 8th March 1831,that old stalwart of the Pahiatua County
Council, Councillor Harry Cornelius, died in office. The minute book records
the following tribute to him by Chairman Sam Bolton:
”He had been a councillor for the Mangahao Riding for over 30 years and in
public office for more than 40 years. He
had been widely known for his many labours on behalf of the Pahiatua County and
had been held in the highest esteem and respect by his fellow members.
He had occupied the position of Chairman for eight years as well as being a
member of the Wairarapa Hospital Board, the Tararua Electric Power Board and
the Manawatu Gorge Board of Control during its existence and filled these
offices with much credit to himself and much benefit to the county.
His great ideal in life had been work and he passed away just as he himself
would have desired, in the midst of his labours and with undiminished mental or
physical powers.
The Chairman then moved that “a record of the great services rendered to the
Council by Cr. Cornelius, and the high esteem by which he was held by the
council and staff be recorded in the minutes of the council. That we mourn the loss of a good friend and
the rate payers a valued councillor in his passing.”

10. ALEXANDER FITZGERALD6 CORNELIUS (ALEXANDER5, HENRY4, HENRY3, HENRY2, EDWARD1) was born Abt. 1860, and died 01 May 1928 in Ballytarsna, Borris-in-Ossory, Eire. He married MARY (EMMA) JANE TOWNSHEND 01 Aug 1895 in Dublin, Eire, daughter of WILLIAM TOWNSHEND. She was born 1871, and died 27 May 1951.
Notes for ALEXANDER FITZGERALD CORNELIUS:
Alexander went to New York and took the family silver with him. He lost all his money and later returned to Ireland.
Alexander inherited Ballytarsna after the death of his brothers. He was a train driver and a reluctant farmer
He had a great love of horses and after his marriage, he settled down to farming, brood mares and racing. He also had a large family. In his later years he suffered from rheumatism and gout. Just before his death, his horses were brought to the windows of his downstairs room so he could say goodbye to them!
Notes for MARY (EMMA) JANE TOWNSHEND:
She may have come from Lime Tree House, Ballykeepe, Kilkenny.
She had a brother who was in the Scots Guards and Gillies had his medal- John
probably has it now.
A “domineering and haughty” lady. When she visited her daughter Eva and son-in-law
Johnny Shields- Johnny used to leave the train and boat schedules prominently
displayed. Apparently there was no love
lost between them!
After the death of her husband, and after Ireland became independent in 1926,
Mary Jane (always known as Emma) did not
want to live in a “Papist State”. With only one son, Charlie, remaining in Ireland,
1932 aged 61years of age, she decided to move to NZ., where she died in 1951
aged 80. She is buried in Pahiatua Cemetery along with Gerry. She would be
horrified to know that her gravestone carries the name Mary Jane as she was
known as Emma.
To her grandchildren, she was known as Granny Cornelius or “Granny Cornie” and
moved around between her sons and her niece, Clonagh Walker, not owning
property in NZ.
Apparently she always referred to Bertie’s boys as “Bertie’s Brats”!
Recollections from Colin Cornelius:
Firstly Emma Cornelius, we called her Granny Cornelius, came out to New Zealand
in 1932 (letter from W.C.Cornelius re. Charles T.Cornelius’ will) dated Nov 1976)
at about 61 years and she died in 1951 at the age of 80 years.
I well remember Granny Cornelius in 1949 when she looked after us ( Barry,Colin
and Kevin) while Mum was away at the time of our sister Gerraldine’s birth. She
was a stern, grumpy old lady who would “switch” us around the legs with an
apple tree stick or the riding crop( for no go reason at all of course?). She
also growled at us for being too hard on our horses - especially for riding
fast up and down steep country, and for galloping along the metal roads.
Another pet hate was Kevin’s ears. They did stick out a bit and she wanted to
stick them in with sticking plaster. Apparently this worked for dogs in Ireland.
Anyway in the end she had to be content with just jamming his hat down hard
over the top of his ears.
Granny Cornelius was the one that first called us “Berties’ Brats” and this was
carried on with gusto by Uncle George. We had the last laugh as Uncle George
was later blessed with 5 boys of his own. Come to think about it “Berties Brats”
sounds like it might have been the fore-runner of Polly Shields’ “Bitch Pack”.
We found it difficult to understand how we earnt the “Berties’ Brats” tag! Maybe it had something to do with an incident
in about 1947 while we were staying at Uncle George’s farm in Hukanui. Uncle
George had been skiting about this great motor car he owned - a Morris Eight.
Now every 11-12 year old boy knows that all you needed to start a Morris 8 was
to jam a small screw-driver in the ignition. Brother Barry decided that we
should go for a test drive. I was about 9 years old at the time and I can still
vividly see the stern-face reception committee lining the driveway as we
returned home. Apparently there had been much conjecture as to who might have
taken the car, but Mum knew - she was just praying that we would drive straight
past and not turn up the drive.
Children of ALEXANDER CORNELIUS and MARY TOWNSHEND are:
i. EMMA (EVA) ELEANOR7 CORNELIUS, b. 13 Sep 1895, Ballytarsna, Borris-in-Ossory, Queens Co. Ireland; d. 11 May 1976, Derbyshire; m. JOHN GILLIES SHIELDS4, 26 Jul 1917, Borris-in-Ossory, Queens Co. Eire; b. 01 Feb 1882, Gateside Farm, Galston, Ayrshire, Scotland; d. 18 May 1960, Isley Walton, Leics.
Notes for EMMA (EVA) ELEANOR CORNELIUS:
Always known as Eva Geraldine, her father
got drunk on the way to register her birth and couldn’t remember the correct
names so named her after his sisters, Emma and Eleanor! This was not discovered until the birth
certificate was produced for the wedding.
She met her future husband, Johnny Shields, when he was serving in WW 1 for the
Leics. Regiment and was sent to Ireland to recover from the effects of gassing
in the trenches. There he met Eva at the
home of the Countess of Mouncashell (Eva’s cousin, Florence).
The story about Eva marrying John Shields was handed down to all the
children in N.Z by the 5 brothers. I think there were either rather envious or
totally stunned that their big sister could sit on the front fence of the farm
and “snare” a very eligible English army
officer , and then leave Ireland for a life of perceived luxury in
England, where as they were sent to N.Z
where they had to work extremely hard for their uncle to repay their boat fare.
I get the impression things were pretty tough in Ireland at the time and that
the family was living on past glories.
“The Marriage of Lieut. J.G. Shields R.F.A. with Miss Eva Geraldine Cornelius
July 26th 1917
(As taken from a newspaper account)
The marriage of Lieutenant John Shields
R.F.A. to Miss Eva Geraldine Cornelius, took place at the parish church,
Borris-in Ossory, Queens Co. Ireland, the home of the bride, on Wednesday. The bridegroom is the eldest son of Mr. John
Gillies Shields J.P. C.C. (the agent for the executors of Lord Donington and
Major Gretton of Donington Park), and a well-known agriculturist, and of Mrs.
Shields, of the Manor House, Isley Walton, Leicestershire. Mr. Shields, who volunteered for service when
the war began, will be best remembered as the popular captain of Leicestershire
County Cricket Club and a member of the M.C.C.
The bride, who is a cousin of the Countess of Mount Cashel, is the
daughter of Mr. Alexander Fitzgerald Cornelius and Mrs. Cornelius of
Ballytarsna House, Borris-in -Ossory, Ireland. The Rev. Robert Mollen, rector
of Borris-in-Ossory performed the ceremony and the church was crowded. Mr.
Reginald Cornelius, brother of the bride, was best man, the bridegroom having
come from France on short leave for the wedding. There was one bridesmaid, Miss
Ruby Cornelius, sister of the bride. The
bride, who was given away by her father, wore a dress made in German style of
an old gold satin and nigger brown and a picture hat.
A reception was held afterwards at Ballytarsna House and the newly married pair
crossed to England on Thursday and motored home from Birmingham on Friday
morning. This was the bride’s first
visit to England. They will reside in
Breedon Hall. A large number of presents
awaited them and the approaches to Isley Walton were gaily decorated.”

Notes for JOHN GILLIES SHIELDS:
Born in Scotland, his family moved to Leicestershire in 1883.
He served in WW 1 for the Leics. Regiment and was sent to Ireland to recover
from the effects of gassing in the trenches.
There he met Eva at the home of the Countess of Mount Cashel (Eva’s
cousin, Florence). They met again later
when he was out riding past Ballytarsna and Eva was sitting on the fence
watching for him. He told his fellow
soldier that he was going to marry “that red-head”!
They married July 26th 1917 and the notes for Eva contain an account
of their wedding.
He took over as the Land Agent from his father and managed the estates and
farms owned by the family- the farms were rented out- around the Castle
Donnington, Isley Walton area of Leicestershire.
Capt. of Leics. Cricket team and wicket keeper.
The story goes that he bought steaks en route to a game and stuffed them
into his gloves, to prevent bruising! He
also played for the Gentlemen v the Players at Lords.
He was an excellent horseman and one of the best shots in the county.
After his death, his son J. Gilles Shields inherited, in trust, all the lands with the exception of the Manor
House and grounds along with the living of the United Benefice of Breedon and Worthington,
and Longcliffe Quarry. In 1976, Gillies broke the Trust and sold Donnington
Hall to British Midland Airlines and the Race Track and the lands at the
Coppice where a Racing museum now stands.

Notes for ALBERT (BERTIE) EDWARD CORNELIUS:
The only one who paid his way out was Bertie, who at the time had a job in a
bank in Dublin and was seen to have a job for life and his parents wanted him
to stay in Ireland (probably to support them). He boarded the ship with 2 of his brothers
apparently with out his parents knowledge. He was the most successful of the 5
brothers , but unfortunately died of Kidney Disease in his 50’s. I can still just remember the drama of
the 4 brothers going up to the funeral. Dad
had just brought a new car, and none of the others would help with the
driving and he was just about asleep at the wheel when the cops pulled him up
for weaving over the road. They took some convincing that he was not drunk ,
then after the funeral and presumably after the wake they were heading home
over a long one way bridge and met another car in the middle. The 4 very
stubborn Irishmen refused to back up and apparently there was a bit of a
stoutish and they were probably lucky they were not locked up for the night.
All of the brothers had really broad Irish accents and were something to behold
when they got excited.
ALBERT EDWARD CORNELIUS-submitted by Colin Cornelius
Also affectionately known as BERTIE or PADDY
Born in Donnybrook, Dublin County, Ireland in 1901 where he did well at school,
interested in sport especially tennis. Worked in the Bank for 6 years and had
to learn to speak and write the Gaelic language.
Emigrated to New Zealand in 1925 with two of his brothers (George and Gerry). A
rushed decision for him as his family had deliberately kept his brothers’
travel plans secret. Worked on Harry Cornelius’ sheep station at Mangahao, and
afterwards at other sheep stations in the district. Became an excellent
shepherd and an exceptional trainer and breeder of sheep dogs.
In the early 1930’s he managed the Shamrock Hotel in Wellington before buying
his first farm, in partnership with his brother Gerry (Cornelius Bros.), at
Makarau, North Auckland in 1934. This farm ran south from the Makarau railway
station to the tunnel. Eventually “The Bros” hard work resulted in a good mixed
farm unit of dairy and sheep. Paddy bought out Gerry’s half in about 1939-40.
In 1945 he sold the Makarau Farm and bought 229 acres (Sanatorium) at Omana
North Auckland and in 1948 bought another farm of about 400 acres (Kaitaringa
Farm). On Sanatorium he ran mainly sheep and on the Kaitaringa Farm dairy and
beef cattle. Also, leased the “Kauri Workings” for winter grazing - this was
cutover native forest in the Tangihua Range.
He was a successful farmer.
In 1955 he was admitted to Greenlane Hospital with a kidney complaint and then
followed nine dreadful months with eight major operations. Paddy died at his
home at Omana on 14 January 1956 following a Coronary Thrombosis.
This quietly spoken Irishman was known far and wide as “Paddy” - a pet name.
Remembered by his wife Eve, for his courage, hard work for his family, his
loving caring nature, and so cheerful, always.

Notes for GEORGE TOWNSHEND CORNELIUS:
At a young age, George was sent off to live with his maiden aunt, Alice, in Dublin.
We are not sure why George was chosen but believe this might have been common
practice amongst large families.
We believe he went to Dublin for his schooling so it could have being about
1910 when he left home. We know that he was in Dublin in 1916 (aged 13) as he
was arrested during the Easter uprising for being in the wrong place at the
wrong time (and probably throwing stones!!)
much to the families consternation. From what Dad told us it was an
experience he never wished to repeat, and it was only the efforts of Alice and
his Mother that got him out of jail .
These were rather interesting times in Dublin and not a time to be a
teenager roaming the streets!
He emigrated to NZ in 1926 and worked for Harry Cornelius at Mangahao for a
number of years. (Later, in 1931, he found Harry, dead and still on horseback,
at Ross na Clonagh). He then milked cows at Ranfurly Road, just out of Pahiatua
until he went to WW11. He joined the Hawkes Bay Territorial regiment in 1937,
and then enlisted in the regular force on 23/10/1940. He served in the 1st
battalion N.Z Scottish regiment as part of the New Zealand Army Service Corp. He entered camp in July 1942 and went
overseas on the 10/11/1942 as a Driver, transporting ammunition to the front.
He saw action in both the North Africa and Italian campaign arriving back in
N.Z on the 20/11/1945. His army records show that he had pay deducted for
speeding and reckless driving, and for being AWOL.
On returning to N.Z after the war the government of the day had a program to
settle returning soldiers on to farms and George took advantage of this
program. He purchased a dairy farm at Hukanui
, south of Pahiatua where he farmed until his retirement in 1966. He married
Maude Baker in 1946 and they had 5 sons.
He died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1967 aged 64 and is buried at
Taradale.

Irish records are sparse, partilularly fuller will copies and parish records,
the LdS has a large collection of deeds as online images and I have looked
through a lot of them, but, even aided by a collection of ancestry of will and
marriage records, in note form, it is not possible in most places to work out
family connections.
Many of the land indentures show that the land was mostly owned by the original
planter familes, the Anglo/Irish aristocracy. The actual occupiers of the lands
were in fact leaseholders operating under leases or sub leases with terms often
expressed as the lives of idividuals involved, or their descendants. The leases
often would renew automatically.
An Indenture of 1781, referring to an earlier one of 1760 between John and
William Irwin has land from the in Carrigallen being held for the lives of
another Irwin and William and his son William Armstrong. The implication is
that the occupiers of the Armstrongs also ha d an interest in the property. The
indenture was not finally filed unto March 1781: this probably gives a clue of
the death date of William junior.

Capt Martin Armsrtong Newtown 1689
ALEXANDER WEIR, then aged nine years, and his sister
Jane, alone saved from massacre ; there they remained, until the insurgents
were driven out of Fermanagh . When Munroe, in his efforts to enlist the well -
affected royalists of Ireland, came to Enniskillen, Alexander Weir engaged as a
volunteer with him in the king ‘s army ; immediately after which, in 1651, he
fought and was wounded, at the battle of Worcester, whereupon he remained
amongst his relatives in Scotland, until, on the Settlement of Ireland, he was,
in 1666, adjudicated compensation for his conduct as one of the commissioned officers
“ who had served his majesty, or his royal father of blessed memory ; “ he thereupon
returned to his former residence in the co. Fermanagh, where he resided until
the breaking out of the Revolution . In Nov. 1688, James, the son of Sir John Hume,
of Castle—Hume, jointly with this Alexander Weir, raised an independent troop
of horse, in support of the Prince of Orange ; but Mr. Hume having d. before
any action occurred, the command devolved upon Alexander Weir, who, in June, 1689,
routed a party of King JAMES ‘S adherents, at Ballyshannon, and, on his return
to the head - quarters in Enniskillen, being ordered out to intercept a large
body of the enemy, coming, under the command of Lord Montcashel, to assault
that town, he, with Captain Martin Armstrong, achieved a memorable victory at Newtown -
Butler . Contemporaneous notices detail many circumstances of Capt . Weir ‘s
bravery, and military address, on that day . It was immediately after this, that
he was ordered to garrison Boyle, and report of Sarsfield ‘s movements ; his
information accordingly led to the engagement wherein he received his mortal
wound . He was afterwards carried into Boyle, and there dying, was buried
within the Abbey, while the Lord Kingston caused that monument to be erected
upon the spot where he fell, which is still traceable at Boher boy . This
gallant officer left issue by his wife, Sarah Goodwin, two sons, ROBERT and
John : the latter young ; the former, ROBERT WEIR, was b. in 1676, and, though
but thirteen years of age at the time of the above engagement, was enrolled in
his father ‘s troop, and, upon his death, transferred to that of Brigadier

EDWIN E. ARMSTRONG.
Among the pioneer merchants of Detroit was the
late Thomas Armstrong, who came to Michigan the
same year it was admitted into the union as a
state (1837),
settling in Detroit.
His career was one of remarkable interest, both for his family connections and for his own
experience and achievements. He died many years
ago, and among his family who have continued
the name and the exceptional business
qualifications which characterized the founder in Michigan is Edwin E. Armstrong, head
of the largest saddlery and harness manufacturing establishment
in the state.
The late Thomas Armstrong was a native of Dublin, Ireland, where he was born June 2, 1805. His father Launcelot Armstrong, of Dublin, Ireland, died in 1810. His
wife was Ann Chamberlain, who died in Detroit in 1883. The official records in Dublin Castle
show that Thomas Armstrong was the only remaining Irish
- born representative of the family
known as the Armstrongs of Longfield, and
Killibracken in County Leitrim, Ireland.
That family was for many generations prominent in civil and military life.
The family
was founded by William Armstrong of Gilnockie, Scotland, an officer in the army
Charles, who
settled in Ireland about 1620, and
was killed in battle in the Cromwellian wars. He was a great -
grandson of John Armstrong Laird of
Gilnockie, who died in
1630, and
who was a noted border chief, named
and mentioned in many of the old Scottish
ballads. The stronghold of that Scotch
borderer is still standing near Langholm
The recollections and reminiscences of the late Thomas
Armstrong covered the Napoleon and Wellington
periods of the early nineteenth century, and the celebration in Dublin
over the fall of Napoleon at Waterloo was vividly remembered by him.
He was present
at the opening of the first passenger railroad in the world,
connecting Liverpool with Manchester in 1829. In
1832, accompanied by his mother,
Thomas Armstrong came to America, locating in New York
City.
In 1834, he returned to Ireland,
but was back
again in the same year.
In 1835, he invested in a tract of land
in Maine. That was a poor investment, since
the land, upon investigation,
proved to be at the bottom of a lake.
With such experience in the east. Thomas
Armstrong in 1837 set out for Michigan,
coming by way of Erie canal, and from Buffalo, New
York, taking passage
on the steamer North America for Detroit.
The voyage up the lake required more than
three days. His
arrival in Detroit did not impress him with the advantages of the
situation, and
his discouragement over the outlook was such that he quickly
determined to return to New York City.
However, he finally decided to give the
frontier town one trial,
and bought some property and engaged in the general
mercantile business.
His success was almost immediate,
and from that time forward he and his
successors have continued to be identified in a large
and prominent way with the commerce of the Michigan
metropolis.
Thomas Armstrong retired from business in 1858, after a very successful
career. In 1845,
he married Miss Catherine Hopson,
who died in 1855.
In 1863 he married Miss Rebecca Gourley, Thomas Armstrong was the
father of eight children.
Edwin E. Armstrong, a son of the late Thomas and Catherine Hopson Armstrong was
born in Detroit in 1853. With a public school education gained in his native
city, he entered business as a clerk, and for a number of years was identified
with the hardware trade in this city.
In 1880 Mr. Armstrong organized the firm of Armstrong & Graham, a concern
which has grown and developed until it is the largest wholesale dealers and
manufacturers in harness and saddlery goods in the state of Michigan Mr.
Armstrong has membership in the Detroit Board of Commerce, the Detroit Club and
other social organizations. In 1883 at Detroit was celebrated his marriage to
Miss Louise McCutcheon, of Detroit, a daughter of Hon. Sullivan McCutcheon. He
has one son, Philip McC. Armstrong, secretary and general manager of The
Armstrong Tannery Company, Detroit, and two daughters, Catherine, wife of James
M. Acklin, of Toledo, Ohio, and Josephine Moore Armstrong.

Christopher Armstrong.—Deceased, late Judge of the County Court of the County of Carleton, was the eldest son of Robert Armstrong of Manor-Hamilton, in the County of Leitrim, Ireland, where he was born on the 20th August, 1801.
He was educated at a private school in his native Town, where he acquired a good knowledge of English and the Classics—especially Latin—a taste for the cultivation of which he retained through life.
His father was a gentleman in easy circumstances, but the close of the Anglo-American and European wars in 1815, which settled the fate of France and produced so many reverses of fortune, had its effect on him; and having a large family of sons, he determined to emigrate to the New World. Accordingly, in the year 1819 he came to Canada; and having obtained a grant of one thousand acres of land in the County of Simcoe, the family began life in the backwoods of America. In the year 1829, after ten years of “roughing it in the bush,” Christopher, whose tastes and education fitted him for a learned profession, went to Toronto, and began the study of law in the office of Baldwin & Sullivan—the senior partner being the Hon. Robert Baldwin, afterwards so celebrated in Canadian politics. He completed his studies with Mr. James Samson, of Belleville; was called to the Bar in 1834 ; and after practising for some time in that Town, removed to Kingston, and forming a partnership with the Hon. John S. Cartwright, he continued to practise for a number of years with exceptionally brilliant success.
In January, 1842, he was appointed Judge of the Bathurst District; and in May of the same year he was called to preside as Judge of the District and Surrogate Courts of the new District of Dalhousie, which in the year 1850 became the County of Carleton. He at once took up his residence in the County, and continued to discharge the duties of his office until within a few weeks of his death.
During a useful and busy life extending over nearly three quarters of a century, Judge Armstrong was from his earliest manhood most warmly interested in everything which tended to promote the interests of the country at large. He took an especial interest in the success and well-being of his countrymen in Canada; but his broad principles of charity, and affectionate sympathy for humanity in every form, knew neither creed nor country, where the necessities of his fellow-man appealed to his compassion.
He was at one time President of the St. Patrick’s Society of Ottawa, and was one of the chief promoters of the County of Carleton General Protestant Hospital ; and in his death—which took place on the 4th September, 1874, of valvular enlargement of the heart, at his residence, Richmond Lodge, Nepean, near Ottawa, a few days after he had completed his 73rd year—the Bench lost one of its brightest ornaments, the country one of its best citizens, and the people or Ottawa a friend whose place will not rea

AN EXCELLENT CITIZEN GONE
Lancelot W. Armstrong Passed Away Early Thursday Morning
After an illness extending over several months life’s fitful dream is over and Mr. Armstrong one of our best known and most respected citizens went to his long rest at an early hour yesterday morning. He was descended from an old family in Ireland which traces its history back several hundred years is to a powerful clan in the Low Lands of Scotland. His father was William Armstrong who in 1833 married Elizabeth Graham and the same day set sail from Ireland for this country and located in Milford. Here, October 21, 1835. Mr. Armstrong was born and resided until 1847 when he went to New York. He was employed variously for several years finally learning the trade of a mason.
In 1858 he became partner with a Mr. Hunt which continued until I860 when it was dissolved and he was alone in business until 1865 when the partnership of Moran and Armstrong was formed which continued many years.
The firm was eminently successful and erected many of the largest and finest buildings in the city among them being the Now York Produce Exchange St. Bartholomew church and the New York Life Insurance building. Mr. Armstrong amassed ii considerable fortune and being greatly attached to his birth-place several years ago erected one of the largest and handsomest, buildings in this town as a place in which to spend his summers with his family and enjoy a well earned retirement.
But an over ruling hand decreed otherwise and just as a life of comfort opened up the dark shadow of sickness crossed his pathway and he rapidly declined. He was an active, energetic man, full of activity, life and good spirits until a comparatively recent period when Illness came. In his family he was an exceedingly kind and affectionate husband and father placing the comfort and happiness of his household before all else. In business lie was courteous, upright, and honourable and in the village held the esteem of all for his- public spirit and desire to gratify and please his neighbours and friends. The loss of such a man is a great deprivation to any community and he will be sincerely mourned.
September 17, 1863, he married in New York.
Mary Ann Souza who, with the following named children, survive, him Mary E ,
wife of Frederick B. Wilson, of New York ; Edward L., of Galveston, Texas ;
Carrie, William, Lancelot W., Mabel and George W. He is also survived by a
brother Thomas, of Milford, and three sisters Sarah, wife of Joseph Parcell, of
New York, May, and Wilhelmina. wife of P. F. Steele, of Milford
township.
The funeral will be held tomorrow, Saturday at 3 o’clock at the house.
