Collection Description

Biographical Note The Gregory family of Ireland traced their lineage to John Gregory, Lord of Fresely and Asfordby in Leicestershire during the twelfth century. The family settled in Ireland early and were staunch supporters of the English. Thomas Gregory (1602-post 1666) and his cousin Giles were members of the Puritan squirearchy during the Commonwealth period and served with Cromwell in Ireland. Giles received an estate in Tipperary as compensation for his service to the Lord Protector. On his death, this estate passed to Thomas, who settled in Londonderry and there had two sons, George and Robert. During the siege of Londonderry by supporters of King James II in 1689, Robert and George led the Protestant forces in the defense of the city. Robert was left bankrupt after the crown refused to reimburse him for his expenses during the seige, but George and his many sons fared better. One of the younger sons, Henry (ca. 1700-post 1731) leased a large farm in Limerick. After quarrelling with his landlord, he moved to the town of Galway. Galway remained the seat of the Gregory family until the sale of the Coole Park estate in the 1930's. The Gregory family papers begin with the papers of Henry Gregory's only son, Robert Gregory (1727-1810), an East India Company merchant, member of parliament, and founder of the family fortune. Robert Gregory had three sons. The eldest, Robert (1754-1814) followed in his father's footsteps and took up a position with the East India Company. Unfortunately, his passion for cock-fighting earned him his father's enmity and in 1784 he was disinherited. The second son, Richard, served in the army but was brought up on charges of cowardice when his troops deserted during the Valenciennes campaign in 1793. He withdrew from society and later suffered a stroke. The animosity between Richard's young wife -- a schoolgirl who he had married secretly and then kept in a separate house disguised as a sailor -- and the wife of Robert Gregory's third son, William, led to his complete alienation from the family. William Gregory (1762-1840), the youngest and most successful son of the elder Robert, served as Civil-Undersecretary for Ireland from 1812-1830. He had two sons, Robert (1790-1847), and William (1792-1840). William became rector of Fiddown in county Kilkenny, and with his wife Anne had three sons and one daughter. Robert Gregory built up the estate on Coole Park and died there after caring for tenents suffering from an outbreak of plague. Robert Gregory and his wife Elizabeth O'Hara had one son, William Henry Gregory, (1817-1892,) who served as M.P. for Galway and later was appointed Governor General of Ceylon and subsequently knighted. Sir W. H. Gregory was married twice, first to Elizabeth Temple Bowdoin who died in Ceylon in 1873. His second wife was Isabella Augusta Persse,

2 Gregory family papers, 1770-1956 Manuscript Collection No. 624 better known as Lady Gregory (1852-1932). After her husband's death, Lady Gregory embarked on a literary career and became one of the central figures in the Irish literary renaissance. Their only son, William Robert Gregory (1881-1918) served with the Royal Flying Corp during World War I and was killed in action in Italy in 1918. William Robert married Lily Margaret Perry and by her had three children. Richard Graham Gregory (b. 1909) served in the British army during World War II, achieving the rank of Major. (Augusta) Anne Gregory (b. 1911) married Brigadier Robert William de Winton, who was later assassinated in Yugoslavia in 1947. The third daughter, Catherine Frances (b. 1913) married Robert Kenedy of Michaelstown, Ireland. More detailed biographical sketches of the family members represented in the collection may be found at the beginning of each series.

Scope and Content Note The Gregory family papers contain correspondence, manuscript and printed documents, financial records, printed material and original literary works dating from 1770 to 1956. The collection is divided into seven series. The series and subseries descriptions may be found at the beginning of each series within the collection.

Series 2 contain the papers of William Gregory (1762-1840). These include official correspondence from 1799 to 1835 regarding his tenure as Civil-Undersecretary for Ireland. Series 3 contains the papers of Robert Gregory (1790-1847) and Elizabeth O'Hara Gregory (1799-1875). These are mostly financial papers concerning both the Gregory and O'Hara families. Letters from W.H. Gregory to Elizabeth Gregory are contained in Series 4. Series 4 comprise the papers of Sir William Henry Gregory (1817-1892). These include correspondence from 1833-1892, drafts of his speeches in Parliament, financial and personal papers, and printed material. Series 5 contain the papers of Lady Augusta Gregory. These include correspondence with family members, general correspondence, manuscript and typescripts of her writings, financial papers, and printed material from the 1880's to the 1930's. Series 6 contains the papers of William Robert Gregory (1881-1918) and Margaret Gregory. These include some correspondence and financial papers. Series 7 contains miscellaneous family materials.

Biographical Note Robert Gregory was born in Ireland in 1727, the son of Henry Gregory (d. post 1731) and Mary Shawe. Gregory left Ireland at age 19 and went to India as a free merchant. In 1766 he returned to England and settled in Kent with a considerable fortune. He successfully sought a seat in Parliament as a supporter of the Earl of Rockingham in 1768. From 1768-1774 Gregory represented Maidstone, and from 1774-1784 sat as a member from Rochester. He also served as a director of the East India Company from 1769-1778, 1775-1779, and 1780-1782. From April to July 1782 he was chairman of the court of directors, but was forced to resign owing to ill health. Robert Gregory married Maria Auchmuty, the daughter of an East India Company official. They had three sons; Robert (1754-1814, disinherited 1784), Richard (1761-1839), and William (1766-1840), and one daughter, Margaret. Robert Gregory died in London 1 September 1810.

Scope and Content Note The Robert Gregory papers comprise one box containing correspondence, official documents, and printed material dating from 1774-1810. Most of the material concerns the British East India Company. These include minutes and reports of directors' meetings, treaties with Indian Nabobs, financial papers and correspondence. Among the correspondents is Warren Hastings, First Governor General of India. The collection also includes a printed copy of the 1774 election returns from Rochester, estate records, and a manuscript history of India by Robert Gregory.

Biographical Note William Gregory, the third son of Maria Auchmuty and Robert Gregory (1727-1810), was born in India in 1762. He arrived in England in 1766 and was educated at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he earned a B.A. (1783) and a M.A. (1797). On 16 May 1781, he was admitted as a student of the Inner Temple. Gregory's first public appointment came in 1795 when he was named Surveyor of Skerries. From 1798-1800, Gregory sat for Portlington in the Irish Parliament. Gregory also commanded the Galway Militia during the 1798 rising, and in 1799 was appointed High Sheriff of County Galway. In October 1812, William Gregory was appointed Civil Undersecretary of Ireland, serving under the lord-lieutenant and his assistant, the chief secretary. According to R.B. MacDowell, "The Undersecretary, continuously resident in Dublin, was responsible to the Chief Secretary for the routine workings of the whole Irish Administration." Gregory handled most of the incoming correspondence to the Irish Government at the Castle on Cork Hill in Dublin. He corresponded with the chief secretary, often absent from Dublin, advising him on events in Ireland. As the center of communication within the government, Gregory came to exercise great authority during his long tenure (1812-1831). Thomas Wyce, the Catholic historian, wrote that it was Gregory "who held in his hands the destinies of Ireland." Gregory strongly opposed Catholic emancipation, the struggle that was the central theme in Irish politics during the first third of the 19th century. Gregory served under five Lord-Lieutenants (Lord Whitworth, 1812-1817; Lord Talbot, 1817-1821; Marquis Wellesly, 1821-1827; Marquis Angelsey, 1828-1829, 1830-1833; The Duke of Northumberland, 1829-1830) and six Chief Secretaries (Sir Robert Peel, 1812-1818; Charles Grant, 1818-1821; Henry Goulborn, 1821-1827; William Lamb, 1827-1828; Francis Leveson- Gower, 1828-1830; Henry Hardinge, 1830). He formed close personal ties with Peel, Talbot, and Whitworth. After returning to office in 1830, Angelsey dismissed Gregory in December 1831. Gregory held the post of ranger of Phoenix Park, Dublin, where he resided from 1812 onwards. From 1819 to 1831, the civil and military under-secretariats were combined, hence Gregory held both titles during those years. William Gregory married Lady Anne Trench (d. 1833) in 1789. They had two sons; Robert (1790-1847) and William (1792-1817), rector of Fiddown, and one daughter, Anne (1793-1868). Gregory died 13 April 1840 at Phoenix Park. Sources consulted in preparing this note include: Mr. Gregory's Letter Box, ed., Lady Gregory, Oxford, 1982; Sir W. H. Gregory, An Autobiography, 1894; Brian Jenkins, The Era of Emancipation: British Government of Ireland, 1812-1830, Montreal, 1988; R.B. MacDowell, The Irish Administration 1801-1810, London, 1964; and Dictionary of National Biography, Suppl., pp. 354-66.

Scope and Content Note The papers of William Gregory consist of 19 manuscript cases containing letters, account books, official and personal papers dating from 1794-1838. The collection also includes Lady Gregory's typescripts of letters, some of which were included in Mr. Gregory's Letter Box, as well as her

7 Gregory family papers, 1770-1956 Manuscript Collection No. 624 notes regarding that project. Most of the correspondence and acts relate to Gregory's service as Civil Undersecretary for Ireland (1812-1831). Since the chief secretary and undersecretary were able to confer when both were in Dublin, the correspondence largely reflects the periods when the chief secretary was absent. There are a few personal letters and papers in Subseries 2.5, but the bulk of the collection is made up of official papers.

Arrangement Note Organized into five subseries: (2.1) Incoming correspondence; (2.2) Outgoing correspondence; (2.3) Typescripts for Mr. Gregory's letterbox; (2.4) Professional papers; and (2.5) Personal and financial papers.

Biographical Note Sir William Henry Gregory, the only child of Robert Gregory and Elizabeth O'Hara Gregory, was born 1817 July 12 at the Castle, Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland, the residence of his grandfather, William Gregory. Gregory attended Harrow from 1830 to 1835, winning the prize for Latin lyrics in 1833 and the Peel Scholarship in 1835. He entered Christ College, Oxford in 1836 but withdrew in 1839 without receiving a degree. After touring the continent with his parents, W.H. Gregory was elected to parliament (1842) as a conservative member for Dublin. Among his close associates were Sir Robert Peel, Lord Lincoln (later the Duke of Newcastle), and Lord George Bentick. Gregory lost his bid for reelection in 1847 and took up residence at the family estate at Coole Park in County Galway. He was appointed High Sheriff for the county in 1849. In 1850 he defended twenty boys who had been ejected from the Ordinance School for the Woolrich Military Academy because of their close association with three other boys who were dismissed for homosexual practices. In 1854 a second scandal engulfed Gregory when Edmund O'Flaherty forged Gregory's name on bills of exhange. The resultant trial cleared Gregory's name and furthered his political career. Gregory traveled to Egypt in 1855 and wrote a two-volume work on his travels, Egypt in 1855 and 1856, and Tunis in 1857 and 1858, published privately in London in 1859. In 1857 he was reelected to parliament as a liberal-conservative candidate from Galway. In 1859 he traveled through North America, befriending several southern Congressmen, including James Murry Mason of Virginia and William Porcher Miles of South Carolina. Throughout the American Civil War Gregory was an avid supporter of the Confederacy. He also argued that England should pursue strong anti-Turkish policy and supported the cession of the Ionian Islands and Crete to Greece. In domestic affairs Gregory was active in defending the Roman Catholic clergy in Ireland and working for land reform. His interest in the arts led to a long association with the British Museum. In 1872 Gregory was appointed Governor-General of Ceylon. He hosted the Prince of Wales in 1875, at which time he was presented with the Order of St. Michael and St. George. Gregory retired from office in 1877 and returned to England via Australia. He did not return to political office after 1877 and spent most of the following years travelling. From October 1881 to April 1882, he toured Egypt and reported on the revolution there. Gregory returned to Ceylon in 1884 and 1885. W.H. Gregory was addicted to horse racing, which led to financial difficulties throughout his life. He remained fond of classical languages and literature and always took an interest in artistic affairs. Gregory married twice. On 1872 January 11 he married Elizabeth Temple Bowdoin, [t. 1873 June 28] widow of James Temple Bowdoin and daughter of Sir William Clay. On 1880 March 4, Gregory married Isabelle Augusta Gregory. Their son, William Robert, was born 1881 May 20. W.H. Gregory died 1892 March 6 of respiratory failure in London. His autobiography was edited and published by Lady Gregory in 1894. Other works on W.H. Gregory consulted

33 Gregory family papers, 1770-1956 Manuscript Collection No. 624 Subseries 4.3 Writings, 1833-1890 Boxes 34-35, BV 1

Scope and Content Note The subseries contains the writings of W.H. Gregory from 1833 to 1890. These include published works (poetry from Harrow, speeches and pamphlets) as well as manuscripts. The bulk of the series is made up of notes, drafts, and printed editions of Gregory's speeches in parliament from 1860 to 1871. The notes do not always correspond directly to the printed versions of the speechs, but reflect many of Gregory's views not portrayed in the official versions. There is little material after 1870, with the exception of three articles authored by Gregory. Two notebooks (Box 35, folder 18 and OP1) contain statistics and historical sketches, presumably for the preparation of speeches.

Biographical Note Isabella Augusta Persse was born March 15, 1852 at Roxborough House, Galway Co., Ireland, the ninth child of Dudley Persse of Francis Berry, Dudley's second wife. The Persse family were members of the Anglo-Irish landholding class and traced their descent from the Percys of Northumberland. Dudley Persse had previously been married to Katherine O'Grady. Augusta's closest siblings were her older brother Robert (d. 1879) and her elder sister Arabelle (1850-), later Arabelle Waithman. As a child, Augusta was schooled at home in French and German. She was an avid reader, and particularly fond of Malory's Morte d'Arthur and the poems of Robert Browning. In 1877, while visiting her brother Richard in Galway, Augusta met Sir W.H. Gregory. After a long courtship and the death of her father and brother Richard, Augusta and W.H. Gregory were married on 4 March 1880. W.H. and Lady Gregory travelled to England, where she was presented to Queen Victoria, and then to Italy, Greece, and Turkey. In Greece, the Gregory's visited archeologist Heinrich Schliemann who gave Lady Gregory an artifact from Troy. In Constantinople, the Gregory's visited Sir Henry Layard and his wife Enid. Lady Gregory and Lady Layard later became close friends. The Gregorys spent the first years of their marriage in London where Lady Gregory met Browning and Henry James. After the birth of their son William Robert (May 20, 1881) the Gregorys travelled to Egypt. There, as Lady Gregory put it, they "tumbled into a revolution." During this visit she met the Egyptian patriot Arabi Pasha and the English poet, adventurer and philanderer Wilfred Scowen Blunt. After staying with Arabi, Lady Gregory wrote her first published work, an article entitled "Arabi and his household" which appeared in the Times on September 23, 1882. Lady Gregory's friendship with Blunt developed into a love affair that lasted from December 1882 to August 1883. After Blunt's wife got wind of the affair, Lady Gregory went to Ireland, where she remained until May 1884. In November 1885, she accompanied her husband on a trip to India and Ceylon. After the death of W.H. Gregory in 1892, Lady Gregory remained in mourning for the rest of her life. After the death of her husband, Lady Gregory devoted the time to her literary career. In 1893 she published A Phantom's Pilgrimage, or Home Ruin, a pamphlet against home rule, and worked on the memoirs of W.H. Gregory which were published in 1894. In that year, Lady Gregory met William Butler Yeats. In 1897, Yeats took up semi-permanent residence at Coole Park, Lady Gregory's estate. Lady Gregory published Mr. Gregory's Letter Box, a collection of letters and papers of William Gregory (1762-1840). After finishing this work she travelled to the Aran Isles to learn Gaelic and collect folklore. From October 1900 to June 1903, Lady Gregory worked at translating ancient Irish myths. The results of this project were the books Cuchulain of Muirtheme (1902), Poets and Dreamers (1905), and Gods and Fighting Men (1904). In the summer of 1901, Lady Gregory began writing plays. She first collaborated with Yeats on "Cathleen ni Houlihan". Her first play, "Twenty five", was written in 1902. This was followed

41 Gregory family papers, 1770-1956 Manuscript Collection No. 624 by "Spreading the News", "Hyacinth Halvey", "Kincora" (all 1903) "White Cockade" (1905), "The Jackdaw" (1906), "The Gaol Gate" (1907), and the "Travelling Man" (1908). From 1904 to 1912, Lady Gregory acted as manager for the newly founded Abbey Theatre, home to the first Irish National Theatre. In February 1909, she suffered a cerebral hemorrage. After the death of her friend and fellow playwright John Synge, Lady Gregory wrote "The Image", followed by the publication of 7 Short Plays, "Granin", "The Bogie Man" (1910) "The Full Moon" (1910), and several lesser plays. From September 1911 to March 1912, the Abbey Theatre toured America. During this visit Lady Gregory met President Taft and former president Theodore Roosevelt. After the tour, Lady Gregory retired as theater manager. Overall, there were 600 performances of her plays between 1904 and 1912. Lady Gregory also translated four plays by Moliere: "The Doctor in spite of himself", "Rogueries of Sculpin", "The Miser", and "The Would be Gentleman". Among her last plays are "Shanwalla" (1914) and "The Dragon" (1916, composed in the wake of the Easter rising). In 1931, Lady Gregory's recollections of Coole Park were published in Coole, with a preface by W.B. Yeats. Lady Gregory died at Coole on 22 May 1932. Her memoirs, Seventy Years, were published posthumously. Works consulted in preparing this note include Lady Gregory's Seventy Years 1852-1922, 1973 and Mary Lou Kohfeldt's Lady Gregory: The Woman Behind the Irish Renaissance, 1985.

42 Gregory family papers, 1770-1956 Manuscript Collection No. 624 Subseries 5.1 Family correspondence, 1879-1922 Boxes 40-42

Scope and Content Note The family correspondence found here dates largely from 1879-1922 and is arranged chronologically. The bulk of these letters were written by Augusta Gregory's son Robert Gregory and her husband W.H. Gregory, though letters from Margaret, her daughter-in-law, and her grandson Richard are also contained in the series. Approximately twenty letters written by Augusta Gregory to other family members are included, and these are described in detail in a separate list which follows the container list for this subseries. Many of Lady Gregory's letters are undated, but those that do have dates fall between 1916 and 1922. A number of these relate to Robert's service in the war. W.H. Gregory's letters to Augusta Gregory include his marriage proposal and later accounts of his travels in the early 1880's. Robert Gregory's letters to his mother describe his activities at school and, later, his military service.

Finding Aid Note An index to letters written by Lady Gregory that are interfiled in Subseries 5.1 is available [See Index 3].

Scope and Content Note Lady Gregory's general correspondence relates to a wide range of matters. Unlike the family correspondence, these letters are arranged alphabetically by the name of Lady Gregory's correspondent. The correspondents represented here include writers such as George Russell (A.E.), Padraic Colum, and Sean O'Casey; actors such as William Fay and Arthur Sinclair; the publisher George Putnam, and others. A number of the correspondents had some relationship to the Abbey Theatre such as Lennox Robinson and Michael Dolan. The general correspondence dates largely from the last thirty years of Lady Gregory's life, though there is some earlier correspondence and some posthumous correspondence. The subjects covered vary widely, though a number relate to the Abbey Theatre in some fashion whether it be regarding the production of plays, the schedule, or the performances themselves. A small number of these letters are not to or from LadyGregory. These letters were found with Lady Gregory's but do not concern family matters. Of special note are two group letters to the press. Among those signing the first of these is W.B. Yeats and George Russell. Unidentified fragments of letters and illegible letters are filed at the end of the series by date.

Biographical Note William Robert Gregory, the only son of Sir W.H. Gregory and Lady Augusta Gregory, was born 20 May 1881 at Coole Park, Co. Galway, in Ireland. He studied at Harrow and New College Oxford. William Robert married Lily Margaret Parry, the daughter of Graham Parry of Cobham Virginia, on 26 September 1907. They had three children; Richard Graham Gregory (b.6 January 1909), Augusta Anne (b.13 September 1911), and Catherine Frances (b.21 August 1913). William Robert Gregory served in the Royal Flying Corp during the first World War, achieving the Rank of Major. He was awarded the Military Cross and the French Legion of Honor in 1917. He was killed in an airplane accident in Italy on 23 January 1918. Margaret Gregory was remarried in 1926 to Viscount Hugh Gough (d. 1959).

Scope and Content Note The William Robert and Margaret Gregory material in the collection includes correspondence, legal and financial papers, school records, and a pencil sketch by Robert Gregory.

Margaret Gregory's correspondence between 1917-1919 is also located here, though she too is represented in the family correspondence of Lady Gregory. The legal and financial papers here relate to the Gregory Estate, and Margaret Gregory's financial dealings. Robert Gregory's will is also among the papers.
