PRONI D3319/9/30:

Copy letter from EM Stewart describing the death of his grandmother, dated March 20 1816:

It has pleased God to grant my dear Grandmother an early release out of this life. She expired without pain on the night of Monday the 12th. She had been quite sensible of her approaching death and even anxious for a release for some days before. On Saturday she had prayers read to her by my uncle Henry in presence of my uncle Longford, uncle Hamilton, my mother and aunt Caroline, little Kitty and John Hamilton and Mrs Gullifer. Uncle Hercules was then at Langford Lodge and I was with my father a short distance from town. After prayers she spoke separately to almost all those I have mentioned. She told John Hamilton to do his duty and he would have peace at the last, for it required no cleverness to please God Almighty. My mother and aunt Caroline scarcely ever left her. She was put to bed and she expressed he hope that she should never rise from it. She was teased with a troublesome cough at the time. On Monday morning uncle Hercules arrived. When she had seen him she blessed all her children and said "may He make you happy in this life and above all hereafter." Her whole soul seemed occupied in devotion. I think that ever since the death of my uncle Edward she has been weaning herself from this world more particularly - She had uncle Henry to read to her in the Bible, When he came to the words "Thy word if truth" in the 17th of St John, she repeated the words after him and added "beautiful". She asked him to speak
Missing page??

My grandmother had said to me "go instantly she said, write it down while it is fresh in your memory".

And so I did. During all these things while every one around her was in tears quite unable to repress their emotion, she was calm and composed. Her serenity seemed almost to amount to a feeling of pleasure. When she saw W.S. on a handkerchief which my mother put into her hand Tell my dear William, she said, that this handkerchief of his was of use to me, it will gratify him to know it. I write down this little incident to show what attention to the feelings of others she professed to the very last, which she always had while living. She has both lived and died an example to us all. When her physician came on Monday, she said to him, I thought I should have been released before this, but I suppose I am not worthy of it. She became extremely weak and unable to speak for some time before she died. She ceased coughing entirely. It seemed as if God had determined that nothing should interrupt the peace of mind in her last moments. She sighed two or three times then looked up and smiled. That heavenly mile remained on her countenance even after death. I saw that countenance some hours after her Spirit had fled and indeed it was Heavenly. If ever I should doubt of the Holt Religion I profess, may I think of this - remember that this is the death of the righteous and believe.

Sir Edward Pakenham (1778 - 1815)

DNB:
    Entered Army 1794; commanded the 64th (1803) at the capture of St Lucia, where he was wounded; brevet colonel, 1805; joined Wellington in the Peninsula after Talavera; led the decisive movement of the third division at Salamanca, 1812, his conduct earning him a remarkable eulogy from Wellington; commanded the north division at Sauroren, 1813; killed while directing an assault on New Orleans.
   The Battle of New Orleans Dec 1814/Jan 1815, was a disastrous attempt by the British to take New Orleans with a sea-born force led by General Pakenham. He was killed in the last assault on 8 January 1815. The British suffers almost 2000 casualties, the Americans 13.

Ref Richard Holmes on Wellington:
Led 3rd Division at Battle of Salamanca in first charge. Wounded at Battle of Badajoz.

    Pakenham's sister, Catherine, had married the Duke of Wellington and 'Ned' was one of the young men with ability that Wellington had picked for his staff. He was a very able commander having commanded a battalion of Fusiliers at the tender age of 19.
Took over the fighting Third division from Picton who was too ill for Salamanca in 1812 and it was his division that broke the French centre. He commanded the third division until the capture of Madrid. In 1813 he was given command of the 6th Division at the Battle of the Pyrenees.
He commanded the ill-fated American Expedition in 1814 and died at the battle of New Orleans.
Ned Pakenham should not be confused with his brother, Sir Hercules Robert Pakenham who was AG to Picton at Badajoz.

The 93rd Highlanders.

    The 93rd, set sail for New Orleans, September 18, 1814, their total strength was 964. They embarked on three ships H.M.S. Alceste, Bedford and Belle Poule from Plymouth, to take part in the British government's latest folly: an attempt to capture New Orleans. They landed in Barbados on November 4, remaining there until the 12th, sailing then to Jamaica. Many of the soldier's wives and children traveled with them who acted as laundresses.
    The entire British Force came together at Jamaica and the combined fleet of 50 ships sailed from there on November 26. They arrived off Ship Island on December 8. Ship Island is a narrow sand island 12 miles off the coast of the State of Mississippi.
    The troops embarked from Ship Island on December 22, in small boats. The men were in the boats from 140 hours to 190 hours before reaching land. The distance from Ship Island to the spot where they landed is about 75 miles. A winter front passed while they were crossing the water, they encountered rain, sleet, frost and a strong north wind. It would have been very choppy and extremely cold. In fact some of the troops who came directly from the West Indies, did not have warm uniforms and many died of exposure.
    The aerial photograph shows the swampy area off the nose of the plane, where the 93rd landed. They moved along the canal on the Villere plantation. The plantations used the canals to drain the swampy fields. The canals ran from the Mississippi River levee across the flat ground. The planters mostly raised sugar cane and the cane would have been cut in November, so the furrowed fields had a stubble of cane stalks and would have been very muddy.
    The British came through a maze of swampy water ways to get below New Orleans without being detected. From the air it doesn't look like much but it was quite a feat to navigate in long boats and barges across the open water from Ship Island where the British fleet anchored; then to push through the bayous and canals until they came to somewhat solid land. The elevation here is about 3 meters above sea level to 5 meters below sea level. With the freezing temperatures, rain, fog, mud and more mud the British Army had there hands full just fighting mother nature.
   For this expedition and the only time in their history, the 93rd were deprived of their kilts and feathered bonnets and sent into action in tartan trews and a particularly unbecoming form of cocked Kilmarnock bonnet. But they were well led, and their morale was by now indestructible.
    The 93rd landed on the evening of the 23rd December, having spent, like the rest of the brigade, six days and nights packed in open boats, with inadequate rations. The boats returning to Ship Island for supplies, cannons etc. It was necessary to deepen and widen the canal so the boats could move further inland with the heavy cannons they brought off the ships.
    The distance from the swamp to the river is about 1 mile.
    They moved up through the swamp to be involved piecemeal in a chaotic dog fight which lasted all night. The advance guard had been surprised by a night attack by 1,200 hastily assembled militiamen; by dawn superior discipline and training prevailed, and the Americans withdrew, leaving behind 74 prisoners; and there the brigade stayed, nine miles from New Orleans, while the whole army of 6,600 men, came up into position on the north bank of the Mississippi, where it was continuously galled by gunfire from two armed schooners out in the river. The Commander-in-Chief Edward Pakenham came up on Christmas Day and took decisive action, destroying one schooner with red-hot shot and chasing the other up mid stream.
   General Andrew Jackson made his stand behind a canal some five miles forward of New Orleans. His right flank rested on the river; his left on a swamp. Across his mile long front he built out of cotton bales and sugar casks filled with earth, a parapet twenty feet deep with a short glacis sloping down to the canal bank; and on it he mounted four well protected heavy guns. Along the parapet, invisible and almost invulnerable, he had about 3,500 men. Pakenham's general advance on 28 December was brought to a halt some 750 yards in front of this position; and there, under bombardment, rain and sleet lay the troops.
   Another futile advance on 1 January, after a three day bombardment of the American cotton bales, ended the same way, and cost the 93rd 1 Officer and 9 men killed, and 10 men wounded. Undeterred, Pakenham ordered a third, and this time disastrous, assault on 8 January. So there they stood, rock-like, in close order, being slowly destroyed by the concentrated fire of the whole American line, until Lambert, the surviving General, after a careful survey, at last withdrew them. They came back with parade-ground precision, leaving three-quarters of their total strength killed or wounded, and having laid the foundations of an immortal legend: a reputation for disciplined and indomitable courage which was to last as long as the regiment. The British had nearly 2,000 casualties that day, of whom 557 were from the 93rd. The Americans behind their parapet had 6 killed and 7 wounded.
   "Alexander Morrison died in battle 8 January 1815."
   The pay/muster records from September 25 to December 26, 1814 show that Alexander was paid or due £3, 7s. 8d. There is an entry indicating he was paid for having 14+ years service, but no enlistment date. The records then show Alexander from December 26 until January 8, 1815.

2. John Pakenham, b. 18/10/1790, from Ian Anderson[v]

24/8/2003. From Ian Anderson:
   I am not related to the Pakenhams, however I am a medal collector and I have a Naval General Service medal 1793 clasp St Sebastian to John Pakenham, Lieutenant. O'Byrne's Naval Biography, page 851, deals with this man. It was compiled between 1845 and 1850 on a Who's Who system of the British Navy and while there are some strange things in it from time to time, it is reasonably accurate. If you can't get a copy of this, I can probably arrange to send you the information. However, it states amongst other things that John Pakenham was born 18 October 1790, is the fourth son of the last Admiral Hon. Sir Thomas Pakenham, GCB (second son of the first Lord Longford), by Louisa, daughter of the Right Hon. John Staples and brother (with Lieut. Henry Pakenham, Royal Navy (1827) who died in April 1839) of the present Edward Michael Conolly, Esq, DCL, Captain R.A. and M.P. Donegal.
    Captain Pakenham is first cousin of Major General Hon. Sir Edward Michael Pakenham, GCB who fell at New Orleans 8 January 1815; of Lieut. Gen. Hon. Sir Hercules Robert Pakenham, KCB, a distinguished Peninsula officer; of Captain Hon. William Pakenham, RN who was lost in the Saldanha frigate in 1811; and of the last Duchess of Wellington. This officer entered the Navy 22 April 1801. He accepted retirement 1 October 1846. He married 3 November 1817 Caroline Emily, third daughter of the late Rear Admiral Sir Home Riggs Popham, KCB, by whom he had issue a son and three daughters. There is also another Pakenham, called Thomas Alexander, born 3 March 1820, he is the third son of the late Earl of Longford, by Georgiana Emma Charlotte, daughter of William, first Earl of Beauchamp. His eldest brother, the present Earl of Longford, is an officer in the Second Life Guards and three other brothers are also in the Army.
    What I am trying to establish is the date of his death. Like all medal researchers, I tend to play around with these things from time to time and no doubt by spending a lot of money I can get the information quickly, but I have 23 NGS MGS medals, Waterloo etc. and they all interest me from a research point of view and I plod away at getting the information. I have, from the Public Record Office, a photocopy of John Pakenham's Memorandum of Services to 1815, written in his own hand and signed.
    If any of this information is of interest to you, please feel free to use it. If you have or come across any information in regard to him, I would be pleased if you would pass it on to me.

2/5. Sir Richard Pakenham, 1797-1868.

From Wendy Reid Jan 2003:

My Hamilton descent is from the the 1st Duke of Hamilton. The Hamilton seat of Brownhall in Co. Donegal was founded by John Hamilton, a grandson of the 1st Duke.
He came from the Scottish family whose seat at the time was Broomhill, Lanarkshire.
Land in north western Ireland was granted to him and he took possession of lands at Murvagh - just out of Donegal town and near to the coast.
The original Brownhall house was built there around 1550 and in 1690 his descendant, James Hamilton, moved the family seat to nearby Ballintra where the present Brownhall house still stands today - and still occupied by the present John Hamilton.
The family maintained the old tradition of naming the eldest son after the grandfather, so since then the line has gone John - James - John - James etc, down to John today.
His eldest son is James.

Fortunately, the family has maintained an unbroken line of ownership of the estate down through the centuries. The estate is not as extensive as it had been back in the 1800's due to debts left by my 4th Great Grandfather, John H, but it stands as one of the few estates still remaining in the original family's hands.
The debts were not down to bad management. That particular John H inherited Brownhall just before the Famine and spent a good deal of the family finances on his tenants. He built several churches, instigated Sunday schools, built a workhouse and mills to create employment at the time.
As a result his tenants did not suffer the same fate suffered by so many others.
A book was recently published about this man and I've sent you a link on it.
His daughter, Mary, married Frederick Courbarron, a farmer from Jersey in the Channel Islands. Her son, Augustus James, eventually settled in Australia in 1888 and I descend from him - my GG Grandfather.

This Hamilton family married with several Stewart families, namely the Killymoon Stewarts. Isabella Stewart, daughter of Col. William Stewart (b.1710) of Killymoon, married John Hamilton and their eldest son, James, married Helen Pakenham.
The John Hamilton of the book is the eldest child of the Hamilton/Pakenham marriage.
You have covered this Stewart line quite well in your site.

I had a look at the line of Eleanor King - wife of William Stewart - of Rockingham.
Her father, Sir Henry King, was one of those not very well liked by the Irish.
They lived in the town of Boyle, Roscommon, and last year I paid a visit to the house still there. It was destroyed by fire some time ago but has been completely restored and is now a museum to the history of the family and the Earls of Kingston.
I would like to get back there again and tour the place properly as back then I was 8 months and 2 weeks pregnant and found the two hour tour quite a haul !. Very informative though - I just remember constantly looking for somewhere to sit down:)).
At the moment one of my missions is to trace back further on the line of the Killymoon Stewarts, one thing I know is that they are connected to the Athenree Stewarts.
In 1999 there was an exhibition at the Ulster Museum featuring William Stewarts son, James and his "Grand Tour" of Europe.
Another family that married with the Brownhall Hamiltons is the Crightons (Creightons) who were the Earls of Erne.
The James Hamilton, who built the present Brownhall house at Ballintra in 1690, married Jane Crighton, daughter of Col. Abraham Crighton. This family were the owners of Crom Castle in Co. Fermanagh and his grandson was the 1st Earl of Erne.
If you like, I can send you the section of my family tree relating to the Hamiltons ?.
I have the entire tree on disc - its huge going back to the 1200's - but haven't run it on the computer since I arrived here from Australia in Feb last year.
I hope it has travelled well, I've over 1100 individuals entered and have only had to do the entire thing once when my pc crashed and I lost the data. Ive learned to do back ups since then.

More on Henry Sandford Pakenham and Stewarts/Hamiltons from Janet Adams:

I think I have identified James Henderson's 2nd wife. I have attached a skeleton chart to show how she fits in with my mysterious gggma Letitia Greenfield Knox and other Knox. LGK remains a difficult one. She is either the first child of Letitia Greenfield and George Knox (as shown) and was brought up in Ireland by relatives OR she may be the child of one of the daughters of Rev Andrew Greenfield's first marriage and another Knox. There was no shortage of Knoxes around Dromore, George is said to be the 2nd child of 26. He was in Jamaica from about 1798 until 1804.
I have accidentally found you another interesting Pakenham. He is the Rev Henry Sandford Pakenham. I looked and you don't appear to have him in your files although you have his brother. He was the Dean of St Patrick's Dublin immediately after Jonathon Swift and was the child of the Very Rev. Henry Pakenham and his wife Elizabeth Sandford. He is thus another nephew of Kitty Pakenham. He comes complete with blood curdling story. He is tangentially connected to the Knox family in Roscommon. (there is a brief chart in the attachment.) Jane Mahon, the sister of Lord Hartland married George Knox. George was a local Crown Agent for the area which included his brother in law's estates. These were 30,000 acres of formerly O'Connor land and included Ballykilcline which experienced an infamous clearance of rent defaulters. George Knox supplied lists of tenants for this purpose. From 1834 there were lengthy legal proceedings. By 1847 the townland was occupied by 60 police, 25 cavalry and 30 infantry. When the tenants were defeated they were evicted and their homes "tumbled".
The 2nd Lord Hartland laid out the street in front of his Strokestown Park House, Roscommon to be wider than the Ringstrasse in Vienna. The 2nd and 3rd Lords Hartland died childless and their nephew Maj Denis Mahon succeeded to the estates but not the title. This was 1845 in the midst of the Famine. He sent, at his own expense, 3 shiploads of his tenants to Canada on "coffin ships" and 158 of them died. Opinion was divided on whether he was benevolent in saving them from dying in the fields or deliberately getting rid of them to make way for cattle. His remaining tenants did not give him the benefit of the doubt and shot him dead. His only child Grace Catherine had married Rev Henry S.Pakenham 8 months previously. The only ray of sunshine in this tale is that the Dean and his wife became richer but probably not by the 10,000 pounds per annum of former years. The estate remained intact until the 20thC
This comes from sources such as IGI, a site devoted to Ballykilcline, the Cork Examiner November 1847, other articles and chance findings.
