  • Memoir of John Grace, Baron of Courtstown
    Memoirs of the Family of Grace, by Sheffield Grace F.S.A. (London 1823) pages 35 to 48 Memoir of John Grace, Baron of Courtstown The circumstances, connected with the downfall and extinction of the house of Courtstown, have also been carefully perpetuated in the family. On the subversion of royalty, the Courtstown estates were seized by the Commonwealth, and were officially surveyed, for the purpose of distribution among the soldiery, as forfeited land. The spoliation and cruelties, inflicted during this unjust and violent intrusion, were marked by more than republican sternness. Every description of property found within the walls of Courtstown Castle, including even pictures, books, and title- deeds, was either plundered, or wantonly destroyed. Tradition has also preserved many particulars, exhibiting the ruthless spirit of the fanaticism, avarice, and oppression, to which the inhabitants of Grace's country were the victims. In the history, likewise, by lord Clarendon, of "Rebellion and Civil Wars in Ireland," it is incidentally mentioned that, at this period, "some soldiers of the king's army being taken in a village in Grace's parish, colonel Daniel Aztell caused all the inhabitants of the said village to be apprehended, hanged three of them, and sold the rest to the Barbadoes." This ancient patrimony was, however, again recovered by baron John Grace, after an alienation of nearly two years, owing to the particular and personal interposition of the protector. Two private letters, of his own writing, in 1655, besides three official orders upon the subject, are still extant ; and to his son-in-law, the lord-deputy Fleetwood, he strongly, through guardedly, thus expresses himself.
