http://www.landedestates.ie:
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".

Description

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 Kilbracken".

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.

3.1.2 DRUMREILLY,

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.

3.1.4 Roundwood – Thomas Armstrong

http://www.tourismresources.ie/articles/index.htm

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.

3.1.5 Killashandra Church:

Visited by A Maitland, 1995.
Originally from medieval times, a Catholic Church on the site of an old fort. During Reformation converted to Protestants and remained in use until 1841 when new Parish Church built.

This is a summary; there are references to HA Poole's original text which contain much more extra information.
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 19^thC 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.

     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. Groves Manuscripts.
2. the Crossle papers in the PRONI.
3. A descendancy from Sir William Armstrong of Scotland, through William Armstrong, married to Jane Irwin – incorrect – to families in Michigan.
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 17^thC through to 20^thC. 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 St Croix references etc.

Previous owner of Retreat in St John Jamaica. Dead by 1787. Probably the Mr Armstrong who was described as meeting William Hickey at the home of Dr Bonynge of Bushy Park in 1776 'A neighbour....a strong, hale man of 60, dined with them. He had been at a school in the North of Ireland, was badly educated and indolent. At the age of 20 was sent for by his father to Jamaica, who dying in 5 years left him an estate of £1500-£2000 a year.' George Bonyngs [sic] Armstrong son of Martin Armstrong and Mary Nicholls was baptised 01/03/1776 at St Dorothy Jamaica.

3.2 Histories & Other Docs

3.2.1 The Chronicles of the Armstrongs

give a clue of some of the origins of the Leitrim/Cavan Armstrongs
V2 P325:

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. (See records of E. E. Armstrong, Detroit, Mich.)

P345:
In the address sent from Enniskillen by Mr. A. Hamilton to King William and Queen Mary, thanking them for sending General Kirke to their relief during the war at that time, about 1687 (not dated), the following names appear, among others: Martin Armstrong (Capt. Martin of Longfield), Thomas Armstrong (Capt. Thomas of Longfield), Daniel Armstrong, John Armstrong (John Armstrong of Longfield). “The Enniskilleners were in the summer of 1690 put on the same footing as regular troops. The name has descended and to-day |time hook was written] form two regiments, 6th Dragoons and 27th Foot/* (See The Actions of Enniskillen Men, by Andrew Hamilton, rector of Kilsevey, an eye-witness, London, 1690, reprint Belfast, 1813.)

The family of “Armstrong” here recorded, which was a branch of the Armstrongs of Gallen Priory, King’s County, settled in Sligo. Some of them afterwards settled in the county Leitrim; and after the death of Robert Armstrong, his family removed thence to Newtown Gore in the county Cavan, where his son:

2. John Armstrong married a daughter of William Irwin (whose son m. Miss Haughton,* who had three brothers—1. George, 2. William, 3. John), and had two sons:

I. John.

II. Launcelot, of whom presently.

3. Launcelot: son of John; lived in Dublin, and m. Anne Chamberlain (whose mother’s name was Washington). They had three sons and one daughter:

I. William, born in St. Bride’s parish, Dublin.

II. Thomas, of whom presently.

III. Launcelot, born in St. Bride’s

parish, Dublin, and was in that city a manufacturer of metal buttons, and other stamped metal ware.

I. Mary.

4. Thomas: second son of Launcelot; born in St. Bride’s parish, Dublin, between a.d. 1807 and 1810 ; mar. and had.

5. Edwin E. Armstrong, of the Firm of “ Armstrong and Graham,” wholesale manufacturers of horse collars, harness and horse clothing, in the City of Detroit, Michigan, United States, America; living in 1887.

*Footnote: The 3 families of Armstrong, Irwin and Haughton lived convenient to each other and intermarried a good deal.

Memoires of the Family of Haughton in Ireland, by Rev WB Steele of Enniskillen. (MS9869)

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.

Papers in PRO Dublin, D16576-649, T7038-7059, M1936-1986 contain a number of wills probably not relevant, and a collection of estate land papers which may be relevant, said to contain inter alia, Armstrong and Irwin references.

PRONI:
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.

3.3.1 Summary of T808/498:

Armstrong family of Co. Limerick, Cavan, Leitrim, Monahgan, Kings County, etc; typescript.

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 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.

5 Detroit, Delaware & Jamaica

The Detroit history part on the descent of Thomas E Armstrong starts in the 15^thC 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[xv], 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 my transcription of Drax???).

One thing that caught my eye was William having a brother Martin of Drax Hall, Jamaica.

New England Historical Genealogical Society’s Register. One Nicholas Coxe of Newington Green, Middlesex, 17 July 1765 left money to his daughter, Rebecca Armstrong, wife of Martin Armstrong, in Jamaica.

The 1818 will of William Armstrong of Christiana Hundred, County of Newcastle upon Delaware, mentions “My Brother Lancelot Armstrong late of the Island of Jamaica deceased … .” And further on, discussing his father’s will, he quotes his father (John) as saying “… my two sons who died in the Island of Jamaica that is Joseph & Lancelot Armstrong … .”

"Andrew Armstrong, parish of Kingston, Jamaica, wife Rosanna Thomas, child Andrew Armstrong from Parish Register Transcripts, 1664-1879"
B 25/5/1819, RT negro – no mention of wife!

Ann Armstrong Carpenter died aged abt 80, Detroit 30/6/1923, b Wicklow, dau of Launcelot Armstrong of Dublin. Informant Albert Carpenter, same address.

5.2 Armstrongs of Delaware & Jamaica

There are mentions of Jamaica both in “The complete (as possible) genealogical history of the St. Andrews Society of Detroit” and in wills relating to Armstrongs of Delaware.

Russ Nicols:

I was led into this are by Russ Nichols in September 2025.

Russ Nichols:
9/9/25:

The Armstrongs in Jamaica, and possibly other places in the Caribbean, are most certainly not my specialty. I did find one item of interest, browsing among copies of the New England Historical Genealogical Society’s Register. One Nicholas Coxe of Newington Green, Middlesex, 17 July 1765 left money to his daughter, Rebecca Armstrong, wife of Martin Armstrong, in Jamaica.

And another will that might shed light on the Detroit Armstrongs; The 1818 will of William Armstrong of Christiana Hundred, County of Newcastle upon Delaware, mentions “My Brother Lancelot Armstrong late of the Island of Jamaica deceased … .” And further on, discussing his father’s will, he quotes his father (John) as saying “… my two sons who died in the Island of Jamaica that is Joseph & Lancelot Armstrong … .”

Regarding Martin of Drax Hall, a Google search indicates Drax Hall in near St. Ann’s Bay on the north coast of Jamaica.

Finally, since I search for my ancestor Andrew Armstrong, this from church records: "Andrew Armstrong, parish of Kingston, Jamaica, wife Rosanna Thomas, child Andrew Armstrong from Parish Register Transcripts, 1664-1879"
B 25/5/1819, RT negro – no mention of wife!

At this point I am likely exhausted on the subject of Armstrongs in Jamaica.

James Lewis Armstrong, writing about AD 1900, must have corresponded with a very large number of people. He apparently could not fit everyone’s family details into his book, so at the back is an appendix with contributors identified along with their lineage. This was one:

“William R. Armstrong, Odebolt, Iowa, a descendant of John Armstrong of the County Cavan Armstrongs, and who settled in Chicago. He came to America in 1853. See records of John Alfred Armstrong, Knoxville, Tennessee. The name Edward Pakenham occurs in both records." – This was WIllim Rufus Armstrong, son of John and Henrietta Armstrong, grandfather of EI (Pooole) Maitland.

9/2025: not found

8/9/25:

Incidentally, there was a Martin Armstrong, who lived in Jamaica, and also a Launcelot Armstrong, who dwelt there.

Also of Rev William :
Brothers Martin (of Jamaica, Kinsman Capt Robert of Killashandra), William (sons Martin & Lancelot) & Lancelot (son Martin).
This Lancelot prob admon 17/11/1779 to wid Catherine of Likkdallon, Co Cavan also mentions Edmund of Killashandra.

An extract from “The complete (as possible) genealogical history of the St. Andrews St Andrews Society of Detroit” (downloaded from LDS 9/2025) (P185 on)
The original dated 1999.

Great Great Grandfather Launcelot Armstrong b. 1768, Dublin, Ireland, d. June 23, 1810, Dublin, Ireland. Married Anne Chamberlin, b. 1777, Dublin, Ireland, d. December 4, 1863, Detroit, Michigan.

Brothers of Launcelot included Irwin Armstrong, John Armstrong, Martin Armstrong and William Armstrong (m. Lucy Nichols of Shancor, County Cavan, will dated September 9, 1777).

Great Great Great Grandfather William Armstrong of Longfield and Killibrachen, County Leitrim (living in 1773) m. Jane Irwin if Courcinahan, Killashandra, County Cavan; his brothers included Martin Armstrong of Drax Hall, Jamaica[xxi], and Launcelot Armstrong of Dublin.

Re: Armstrongs of Kiltoghert
Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2005 15:20:33 +1300
From: "Patricia O'Shea"[xxiii]

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!!

6.4 18^th Irish Catholics - notes

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.

6.5.1 Rosemary Cryer 2006 emails re Cornelius

    Sat, 09 Sep 2006 rosemary cryer

    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.

RE: Armstrongs Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2007 20:53:33 -0700

From: "Kathi Sittner" <Kathi@pinnacleschools.net>

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

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. 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 Killashandra 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 Mary's 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...

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:
* (Rev.?) William Armstrong md. Jane Irwin
* Thomas Armstrong md. Mary Aletta Biggs
* Dr. William Armstrong b. 1786 prob. in Modreeny, Co. Tipperary, Ireland d. 1871 Rathangan, Co. Kildare

18 Aug 2002 From: Tom Reilly^{^[xxvi]}
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

16 Sep 2002
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.

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 7^th 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.

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.

7.3 The Flood Family Associated with Middlemount

and Roundwood in Queen’s County

(Laois) in the 18^th 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 18^th 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 17^th 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 18^th Century lies in disrepair.⁴ As the population of Ireland grew tremendously during the 18^th and start of the 19^th centuries, we can assume that in the 18^th 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 16^th 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 17^th Century. Originally, five stories tall, two walls collapsed in the middle of the 19^th century. “The castle was occupied by the Vicars family near the end of the 17^th 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

Luke¹Flood 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 ¹Flood 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 ³Flood 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 ²Flood 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 21^st, 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 18^th 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

http://www.laoisgenealogy.com/graves/anatrimold/index.htm

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.

Child of Mary Flood and Lt. Henry Kingsmill

+9. i. John Kingsmill, born about 1734 and died about 1802

Third 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

Luke³Flood, of Roundwood, and his brother, Edward ³Flood, 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 10^th, 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 Luke³Flood 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 Sharp ⁴⁰, 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:

http://www.roundwoodhouse.com/briefhistory.htm

http://www.askaboutireland.ie/show_narrative_page.do?page_id=3631&version=text_only

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 18^th 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

Children of Luke Flood and Mary Aletta Biggs Armstrong

+16. i. Fanny Flood

+17. ii. Edward Flood

18. iii. Luke Flood

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 20^th 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 Edward⁴ 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? Luke³Flood 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. Luke⁴ 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 Edward³Flood (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 Robert²Flood’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 ³Flood. .]

6. Edward Flood, third son of Robert Flood, of Middlemount, and Grace Vicars, ⁵⁷was born about 1731 to 1740. Edward ³Flood, 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 1^st, 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

Edward³Flood (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.

Oliver³Flood 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 1782 ⁷⁸

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 of John Kingsmill and Eleanor Palmer

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.

ii. Luke Kingsmill

iii. Thomas Kingsmill, b. abt. 1762, in Ireland, died abt 1846 in Ireland. He married firstly, Sarah Meares, and secondly, Jane Palmer.

iv. Eleanor Kingsmill, born Ireland, married Thomas Abbott 16 October 1803 in Ireland. She died abt 1873 at Sydney, New South Wales in Australia.

Fourth Generation

Children of Luke³Flood (Robert^2, 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 ³Flood 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 1779 ⁹¹

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.

Obituaries

June 29

Lately, At Moneydear, Catherine, Relict of Rev. Newell Hutber, of Moyne, Rector of Ballyinakill, and eldest dau. of the late Col. Flood, of Roundwood, Queen’s Co.⁹²

It should be Rev. Sewell Stubber.

Child of Catherine Flood and Sewell Stubber

i. Eleanor Stubber married to Alexander Chetrode Hamilton ⁹³

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 Roundwood ⁹⁶

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 ³Flood, proved in 1804 were lost when the records of Ireland burned in 1922. It appears that Edward ³Flood 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. S ¹⁰³o the property in the dispute is Middlemount.

Did Edward⁴Flood (Luke ³, Robert², 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 ⁵Flood 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 16^th 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 1847 ¹⁰⁶ carried their wedding announcement on page 649 under marriages in March.

16. At Maryleborne, Edward Flood, esq. late of the 16^th 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. Armstrong ¹⁰⁷ wrote his book, he was eldest surviving son.

Edward ⁵Flood 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 Eagle ¹¹⁰ 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.

Associated Families

Mullarkey

Description

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.

Houses

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.

Died 1826 in Mountrath.
He married (1) CATHERINE CONNER 1791. She was born Abt. 1768 in Cloyne.
He married (2) ELIZABETH ROGERS 1814.

His mother died when he was very young and he and his brother John, were sent to live with their maternal grandmother, Mrs. Atkinson, in Dublin. A magistrate of the Queen's Bench. He was a "Vicars Choral" or Lord of (Vicars Choral) in Cloyne Cathedral. Land was gradually acquired through marriage or assignment- Shamrock Lawn, Myrtle Hill, Spring Field, and Cloyne in Cork, Monaghbeg; Ross-na-clonagh; Coolnagower; Bally-tarsna, Mountrath; Rosscrea, Bally Laise, Co. Cavan: Dromore, Co. Monahan; Caher Lusky, Castle Town, Bally Fin, Gossbrooke and Westmeath etc. The marriages were to local landed or farming families e.g. Fitzgeralds (the Geraldines) of Kildare and Castle Town; the Whites of Castle Town; the Lalor of Kylebeg; the Penrose Robinson, the Robert's, Watson's, Roe's, Short's, Armstrong's, Jackson's, Townshend's, Moore's (Earl of Mount Cashel), Kemmis, Hydes, Jestin's, Giles, Carroll's, Gort's, Croker's, Dickson's, McCrea's, Doherty's, McLoughlin's, and in NZ the Girdwoods and Walkers etc. "They appear to have wasted their talents on their love of horses, women and whisky"
Obit: "1826, at Mountrath at an advanced age, Henry Cornelius, a magistrate of the Queen's Bench and one of the Lords of Cloyne Cathedral, agent to Sir J.H. Coote, Bard of Ballyfin. His urbanity of manners and amiability of disposition endeared him to a large circle of friends."
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.

9. HENRY (HARRY)⁶ CORNELIUS

(HENRY (HARRY)5, HENRY4, HENRY3, HENRY2, EDWARD1)

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.

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

10.22 Armstrongs of Michigan & Toronto

History of Michigan, Tuttle, 1874^{LDS Docs}. Biographies 1974, Chronologies 1974, History Records 1974

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.

HISTORICAL SKETCH of the COUNTY OF CARLETON. (Prob not our line)

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
