Nudgee THISCem., PAGEBrisbane CONTINUES FROM page K 50 on: the heirs of Thomas Blennerhassett of Ash Hill, Ballymacelligott (b.18.12.1736) would have inherited; Blennerhassett of BALLYSEEDY, Co.Kerry Blennerhassett of CASTLE CONWAY, KILLORGLIN, Co.Kerry This did not happen because the 1774 will of "The Great Colonel John" Blennerhassett (p.B 01), while recording the Ballyseedy entail in great detail, completely omitted to include Thomas. From this Gortatlea family descends: Blennerhassett of LISSATAGGLE, CURRANS, also GLENDINE, CAMP, KILGOBBAN, Co.Kerry The disinheritance is perhaps because of Thomas' inappropriate marriage, but that is uncertain.

ASH HILL, BALLYMACELLIGOTT SERJEANT THOMAS "TOM" BLENNERHASSETT Valerie Bary in [HK] tells us: "...Ash Hill House was built in 1700 Thomas Arthur Blennerhassett was Permanent Serjeant & Paymaster of the volunteer "Kerry County Yeomanry" by the Blennerhassetts, who lived there for a long time. Elmgrove & Blennerville Unit, 1823-34; Arthur Blennerhassett of Ballyseedy House was Captain (p.B 06); It is probable that Thomas Blennerhassett & his wife, He probably served earlier than 1823; was said to have been "...the finest and handsomest man in the regiment..." Alice Spring (sic - in error for Avice S.), built this house and He "...called them in every 3 months & drilled them opposite the hall door of Ballyseedy House..." where they that their son, another Thomas Blennerhassett, then inherited..."; camped on the lawn of Ballyseedy House; his brothers John & Richard served under him as privates; / The regiment was one of many volunteer corps formed in anticipation of French invasion, also serving as a police also "...In 1814, a Mr. Mason was in residence and in 1821, force to protect lives & property against bands of "Whiteboys" (G 54); a Mr. Eager (Eagar), but by 1842 it was a ruin..." and Serjeant T.A.Blennerhassett's muster rolls for the unit, signed by him, are in National Archives at Kew, London; "...The house stood in the South-East corner of Ash Hill William Day Blennerhassett of NZ (G 60) writing in his 1934 memorandum on Blennerhassett family, recounts townland close to Arabella House & the Killarney-Tralee road..." a story that Serjeant Tom received a pension for his service with the Yeomanry, of which he was later deprived Ash Hill House, Ballymacelligott, is "...now a hole in the ground "...for publicly making an insulting remark about Queen Victoria, saying the country was being ruined by her…" surrounded by trees, next to the school house..." but is improbable this would happen for such a reason / / / / >|>>> Thomas >>>>>>>>>>>|>> Thomas >>>>>>>>>>>>|>> Arthur Blennerhassett >>>|>> Serjeant (Sergeant) >>>>>|>> William Thomas >>>>>>>>|>> Thomas William >>>>>>>|>> William Blennerhassett >|>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Blennerhassett 3| Blennerhassett | b.c1755 | Thomas "Tom" | Blennerhassett | Blennerhassett | b.22.1.1874 | b. est.c1695 | "The | / | Arthur | b.27.3.1821 Blackbriar | farmer, | Gortatlea, Co.Kerry; |>> / | Disinherited" | of Gortatlea, | Blennerhassett | [BIFR p.142] has | of Gortatlea; | (no Baptism record | of Tralee 1736; of / | Ballymacelligott; | farmer; of Gortatlea | b.28.3.1821 in error; | b.27.5.1849 Gortatlea | at Ballymacelligott) |>> Listrim, nr Tralee, of Ash Hill House | and of Blackbriar | and Blackbriar; | bapt.8.4.1821 | (NOT 28.5.1849); | / | Co.Kerry; later of Ballymacelligott | (aka Skaghduve or | b.c1783/6 | "..12 days old.." | bapt.10.6.1849 | initially a farmer, then |>> Ash Hill House, / | Skagduff) Urrohogal, | d.20.3.1868 | Ballymacelligott | Ballymacelligott, | R.I.C.
