2 INTRODUCTION

The Family

The Scully family of Kilfeacle, county Tipperary are descended from two brothers, Darby Scully and Roger Scully, who settled in county Tipperary after the Restoration. The great-grandson of Darby Scully, James Scully inherited the Kilfeacle property from his father Roger Scully and built up his estates in the area. He married Catherine Lyons in 1760 and had several children. Denis Scully, the eldest surviving son of James, was born at Kilfeacle in 1773. He entered Trinity College, Cambridge in 1794 but left without completeing his degree. Soon afterwards he became a Member of the Irish Bar, and built up a considerable reputation as a leading advocate for Catholic Emancipation along with Daniel O’Connell. Scully was widely published, his most notable work being Statement of the Penal Laws which appeared in 1812 and led to the prosecution of the printer, Hugh Fitzpatrick. His son, Vincent James Scully, was also involved in Irish political life. Born in 1810, he was educated at both Trinity College, Dublin and Trinity College, Cambridge, and was called to the Irish Bar in 1833. In 1852 and 1859 he was elected as M.P. for . Vincent James Scully was also the author of several works on the Irish land question. His grandson Vincent Marcus Barron Scully served in the First World War.

The Estate

The county Tipperary estate of Vincent Scully was estimated at around 2,500 acres and valued at £2,500 in The Great landowners of Great Britain and Ireland (1883, reprinted 1971).
