I have been chiefly influenced by the desire to give the pedigrees? as far as obtainable! of such families as: by marriage, became allied to the ,volfes, where not already given in Burke's Landed Gentry, with the descendants, the issue of these marriages; to make such corrections as have occurred since through births, mar­ riages, and deaths, and to add other information since acquired. The pedigrees referred to, which ,vill be found in the appendices. have been procured from various sources, chiefly from relatives. I am indebted to my cousins, the late l\Iiss Alicia l\Ietge, of Sandy­ mount, Dublin, for the Toler pedigree [Appendix No. 33], to the Rev. \V. Ball \Vright, of Christchurch, Port Henry, New York, U.S.A., for the Standish and Ball pedigrees [Appendices Nos. 31 and 77], to the Rev. E. A. Cooke, Vicar of Reddal Hill, Stafford, for that of the Hen­ drick family [Appendix No. 25], to Captain T. Lomax "\Valsh, 4th Batt. Somersetshire Light Infantry, of Bishopshull House, Stoke Court, Somerset, for the "\Valsh pedigree (Appendix No. 29], and to the Rev. J. C. Hamilton, of Exmouth, for the Hamilton pedigree [Appendix No. 72]. It is possible some of the pedigrees in this work may not be in all respects strictly accurate, especially where given from memory, and must therefore be taken as needing verification before being accepted as authentic. I have no reason, however, to doubt their accuracy, and simply suggest this remark as a precaution against too full reliance being placed upon them, until they have been submitted to a closer examination than it has been in my power to bestow upon them. I take this opportunity of correcting a statement contained in the Introduction to the first edition, as to the marriage of Lieutenant Charles Bucknall "\Volfe to l\Iiss Brabrow. This marriage ·would appear [ on the authority of Anne Jane \Vo1fe-lirs. Croker-a near relative of Charles Bucknall's] to have been one of those not recog­ nised at the time by the laws of this country, having, no doubt, like that of iir. John \Volfe, of Bishopsland [see Appendix No. 65], been celebrated by a Romish priest. Being, ho,vever, a legitimate mar­ riage according to American law, the children ·were enabled to claim successfully the property of their half-brother, the Rev. Richard Stra"Q.benzie \Volfe, who ,,·as killed 3rd July, 18o3, anq. which Preface Jo Second Edition. descended to him from his maternal grandfather, who was Port Captain of New York, U.S.A. The Richard ,v olfe referred to also in the " Introduction" to the first edition as having died abroad appears to have been gazetted an Ensign in the 68th Regiment [from the Kildare Militia] 30th J\Iarch, I8oo, and to have died in the Leeward Islands on the 2nd July, 18or. Two pedigrees of Irish families of the same name, though ~t is believed in no way related to the Wolfes of Forenaghts~ are given in this edition, a brief one of the old Wolfes of Kildare, which family appears to have been broken up and scattered in 1641, and the \Volfes of Dublin, which has still many representatives. In any further search for the English ancestry of the \Volfes of Forenaghts, the co. of Durham records, legal and others, now exist­ ing in the Record Office, Fetter Lane, London, might yield results.

The Laurels, Exmouth, May 24, 1893. INTRODUCTION.

The collection of information relating to the ,v otfes of Fore­ naghts, &c., co. Kildare, here given, consisting of a pedi~ee extending back to the advent in Ireland of the founder of the Irish branch of the family, and of biographical notices of such of its members respecting whom it was possible so far to obtain informa­ tion, is a work which has extended over years. The idea of gathering information respecting the family occurred to the writer some time bet,veen the years 1844 and 1851, but being then abroad rat the Cape of Good HopeJ he was unable to do more than make a fleginning. Having been removed to England in 1859, and to Ireland [Enniskillen] in 1866, he found himself in a l)OSition to increase his stock of knowledge, more especially after his removal to Ireland, where he was enabled to make the acquaintance of his kinsmen, the late !\Ir. George "?'olfe, 'of Forenaghts, and his brother, the Vener­ able Archdeacon \Volfe, through whom he had access to papers which had then onlv recently been discovered. bricked up in a recess off the morning room at Forenaghts, and especially to an account ~f the family written by the first Lord Kihvarden, which was found contained in a book [now in the possession of l!rs. \Volfe, widow of Archdeacon \VolfeJ enclosed in an envelope, addressed to Colonel John \Volfe, then of Forenaghts, and wafered-never having appa­ rently been OP.ened before. From this book and the other papers, much that will be found contained in the pages annexed, was obtained. His removal to Bermuda in 1870, and the sad deaths of both the Archdeacon and ~Ir. George \Volfe bet,veen that date and his return in 1873, prevented any further progress being made. In l8j3, being ordered to Dublin, the opportunity offered of obtaining access to the papers in the Public Record Office there, during periods of leave. This led to the discovery of further information. Being rcn1oved to \Vool"ich in 1876, advantage ·was taken of proximity to London to search old ,vills in Somerset House, and pu bltc records in the ~ecord Office, Fetter Lane, but '\\-ith little or no results, though c_?ntinued from 1876 to 1878. In the latter year, being removed to ~1ngapore, further progress was checked. In 1882 the ,vriter returned to England, and in 1883 a visit to ·•{ork, Chester, and Dublin was made to examine ,vills of persons of the same name, and other 1::-ipers, ,vith no results in the two former cities, but in Dublin much valuable information ,vas obtained from a Chancerv Suit, the index to which had not, on his previous visits, been in -the possession of the officials of the Irish Record Office. Access to the family papers about the same time ,vas also most kindly afforded, even urged, by the late ever-to-be-lamented Richard \Volfe of Forenaghts, who was ~illc:d at the battle of A.bu Klea, and whose interest in the object of th~ writer's researches was scarcely less keen than his own. From this was obtained also important information, although the number ~)frpapcrs it was possible to exaniine in the shor~ time tha~ could be ~ •• ordcd to devote to the purpose, was but a minute portion of the ..,,!101e. In 1884, at the urgent invitation and request of Richard \\ olfc, he again visited Ireland, and spent several weeks at Bishops. ••• Vltl Introduction. land in the perusal of a further portion of the papers, with satisfac­ tory resu}ts. He was, ho,vever, called away to join his young kins­ man in Edinburgh, afterwards accom~anying him to London, the latter having been placed under orders for the Soudan; and, more or less, he remained ·with him until he sailed in the P. and 0. s.s. ·" Australia," on September 26, 1884, never, alas! to return. To the assistance afforded by this, one of the brightest ornaments of the family, to his zeal and encouragement, much of the information given in the follo·wing pages is due. His sad and untimely death is to the writer a lasting sorro,v. There remains still to be gleaned from the mass of family papers now in the possession of the present head of the family much that will increase and add interest to its history. The task, ho,vever, from the care necessary in their scrutiny and examination, many difficult to decipher, is one of no slight nature, and it will need both zeal in the cause, determination and c·onsistent application in any future searcher, to perform the duty satisfactorily. The informa­ tion, however, no,v given will much facilitate future operations. It is not, however, everyone who is qualified to undertake such a task, or whose special tastes lie in that direction, or whose motive power, as has been that of the writer, is devoted to the promotion of the dignity, the unity, and, in fact, the best interests of the family, wliether collectively or individually, free altogether from any per­ sonal considerations ,vhatever. The history of the family prior to the advent in Ireland of the first of the name in 1658 is as yet a sealed book. Burke, in his Landed Gentry, describes it as one of great antiquity. Of its origin various accounts are given. One aged member of the family, no\v dead, ascribed to it a Gennan origin. Another, also dead, spoke of it as having come over ·with \Villiam III., and as having been granted large possessions in co. Kildare. This, I need not say, has been since disproved. ...I\ connection skilled in genealogical researches, also since dead, asserted that in some ·work it ,vas sho-wn to have been descended from a younger branch of a fan1ily named De Rode. A Hugo de Rode, the original ancestor, existed in Cheshir~ in the time of ,villiam the Conqueror [z 11ae Domesday Book], one of ,\·hose descendants took the name of Le \Yolfe, and ,vas of Church La,vton [vzae Harleian l\Ianuscripts, 2119, f. 83]. The only slight piece of evidence in confirmation of this is the fact that the arms of a Hugo Le \Volfe of Cheshire, copied in Queen Elizabeth's tin1e fron1 a pre­ vious existing record, and officially recorded in the Herald's College, London, corresponds exactly with the arms of The \Volfes of Fore­ naghts in use for the last century and a half. Another ·writes, in 1870: "I shall be anxious for your assurance that you intend to pur­ sue your researches until you arrive, if possible, at that traditional sporting gentleman ,vho found his ,vay over from the Continent in the time of King Edgar, and earned for himself the name, the crest, and the coat of arms "•hich is still yours." Lord Kil warden. in the account left by him, previously referred to, says: "The fi .~nily of ,volfe is of English origin, and not of the sa111e stock with any family of the same name in Ireland. The first of the na111e that settled in Ireland \\·as John '\Volfe ;" that, "he had conversed with several persons ,\·ho ,vere personally acquainted with hint. He can1e fron1 Yorkshire some time before the restoration of Charles the Second, • Introduetion. 1X driven from his own country for the part he had taken on the side of the King in the Civil \Var." From a ·will, discovered in the Record Office, Dublin, of a Richard Wolfe, who died 1678, it was evident that he was the founder of the family, and that he, not his son John, was the first migrant. :From a Chancery Suit, discovered in 1883 in the same office, this is confirmed, inasmuch as John at the date of the migration would appear to have been only thirteen years of age. He, probably, with his mother and four sisters, accompanied his father ; but there can be little doubt that Richard, his father, must be credited with having been the founder of the family in Ireland. The date of the migration given in the Chancery Suit corresponds with the information obtained by Lord Kilwarden, but the domicile prior to the advent \\·ould appear more doubtful. From the persons therein mentioned who appear to have had business connections ·with Richard \Volfe, the County Durham, rather than Yorkshire, ,vould seem to have been the cradle of the family. \Vills in Durham and York, and Parish Registers in portions of co. Durham, have been examined, but no distinct clue is afforded of the actual locality Richard \Volfe resided in prior to his removal to Ireland. The name \Volfe, no doubt, was first adopted as a family patrony­ mic when surnames first became fashionable. Speed, in an edition of 1610, says: "Some took the name of animals, such as 'Ulf,' for '\Volf.'" "Ulf," ho·wever, seems to have been the Danish form of the word, while w.o.L.F. ,yas the Saxon mode of spelling it. I am indined to think the \Volfes of Kildare are of Saxon descent, though we find in ancient records Ulf, Vulf, \Vulf, \Volf, and \Volfe variously used. _ . Prior to the ad vent of Richard \Volfe in Ireland in 1658 there existed a family of the same name, spelt in the sa1ne manner, in co. Kildare, the head of ·whom, Nicolas, was attainted with three others of the family in 1641. The \Volfes of Forenaghts divided into three branches-the descendants of three of the sons of Richard \Volfe (grandson of the first Richard) and Lydia Page, his wife. They were the Forenaghts, Bla~khall, and Baionrath. The first of these is apparently no,v c:~t1nct, but of the Blackhall branch there are five male representa­ tives, and of the Baronrath nineteen. The names of the male and female members living at this date are given below·. It is possible there may be descendants still existing of Lieutenant Charles Bucknall \Volfe by his second ,vife, l\Iiss Brabrow. Several o~ his sons by her, on the death of their half-brother, the Rev.

Richard Straubenzie \Volfe, in 1803 1 who inherited property from his n1other, l\Iiss Griffith, are said to have gone to America with their rnother, claimed the same, obtained it, and have never since been htard of. There \\·as also a Richard \Volfe, sixth son of Theobald \Yolfe, Esq., of Blackball, born in 1782, \\·ho, it ,vas said, died abroad. ~othing of him or of his history is now known to the family.

It is much to be regretted, if the Encyclopedia Londinensis bas given the true origin of the family, that the gap existing between the above family and the Bicbard " 1 olfe who migrated to Ireland in 1668 has not b~en bridged over. 1'he arms in use, however, by the family, and recorded on a steel engraving of the Theobald Wolfe previously mentioned, who died in 1784, correspond exactly with those of a Sir Hugo le ,volfe copied, at the IIeralds' College, London, in Queen Elizabeth's time from a. pre-existing record, indicating that in his time, probably, the descent from Hugo de Rode ffomps Will. Conti-] was known. Richard ,volfc, of II uttonrea.d, co. Kildare, appears to ha,·e bf.en the first who migrated to Ireland. In an account by the first Lord Kilwardcn [Arthur ,volfe], he says:-•' The first of the family that settled in Ireland en.me from Yorkshire sometime before the restoration of Charles the 8econd, driven from his own country for the part he had taken on the side of the king in the Ci,il ,var.'' This informa­ tion was obtained by him from persons who, whei:i young, were personally known Pedigree. 3 to Richard Wolfe's son John. In a Common Pleas judgment, in a suit, "William l'arkinson v. Richard ,\'."olfe,'' instituted in 1665 [Roll 19], he is described as •• fatdy of the city of Dublin, gentleman," while in a Chancery suit, "Richard \\.. olfe v. Gilbert 1\Iarshall and William Parkinson, dated 12 April of same year, he i~ sho\\·n a.s of Huttonread, parish of Oughterard, co. Kildare rvide documents in the Record Office, Dublin]. He would appear, by the answer ol Gilbert l\Iarshall, in the last-mentioned suit, to have migrat~d to Ireland in 1658. \Vhere his domicile was prior to 1658 is not stated, but from the circumstance that Gilbert Marshall, •·ho was a. barrister whom he had engaged to recover a sum of money from a. l[r. John Chilton, being a Durham man, and resident in that county, and from the fact also that about that time there was a 1\Ir. John Chilton also a resident in the county, it would seem not unlikely that the family resided either in the county of Durham or on the border of county York, contiguous to the former county. This i~ rather strengthened by the fact that the son John, in the evidence he gava in the la.."t-mentioned suit, speaks of having known l!r. Gilbert 1\Iarshall from his child­ hood. It is clear, from parish and other records, that several families of the name f \\.. olfe] at that period existed both in the counties of York and Durham, as they aid also in other counties; and Gilbert l\Iarshall's practice does not seem to have been confined to the county of Durham, for his name frequently occurs in the lists of ttui~ tried in London; but, with the tradition as given by Lord Kilwarden above, that the family came from Yorkshire, it is possible the suggestion that they Iived, prior to their migration to Ireland, in or near the county Durham, may be correct. Richard ,,... olfe [see Appendix No. 2] would appear to have been accompanied to Irefand by his wife and five children, as, according to the evidence of two of the L'lttcr, in the last-mentioned suit above referred to, one, Jane, was twenty-two years of age, and the other, John, thirteen, at the time of the migration. By his will, 1rhich was dated 7 December, 1678, and pro,·ed 27 }.,ebruary following, it appears he predeceased his wife; it was witnessed by John Wolfe and William Burgoyne, presumably his son and son-in-law. In it he refers to this son John: to his own ,rife, Ann; to three daughters, Dorothy Brunton, Ann Katherine, and Eleanor Burgoyne; and to a granddaughter, Jane Banner. From the fact of no mention king made of his daughter Jane. wife of Hugh Banner, it is presumed she had died h-.:fore him. In this will he directed that his body should be buried in the church at Oughterard [see Appendix No. 81]. Uichard \Volte, of Huttonread, co.

In" illustrated Historical and Genealogical of King James Army List,'' 1689, by Joseph D' Alton, occurs the following :- · "Ensign Philip ,volfe, of l\Iajor Bosselan'e regiment of infantry. The name of Wolfe, \V olf, Ulf, or V ulf, is by this varied spelling CJf record in Ireland since Edward the 1st. In 1303 Philip Vulf was one of the knights who attended De Burgho in the expedition against Scotland. In 1309 ,valter le Wolfe, knight, had letters of pardon and protection, and· in a few years after, John, son of the said Philip Ulf, ha.Ying entered on his hereditary estates on that father's death without licence, and having married without royal permission, was obliged to obtain pardon on fines. In 134,5 Nie Ulf was one of the guardians of the peace for the co. Limerick, with powers to assess and array, as was John Ulf in same county. In ten years after Phil Ulf was one of the infi uenHal gentry of Limerick who elected Thomas de Daunden its sheriff, about which time it is of record that Da,id Wolf died, seized of lands at Kilcullen, co. Kildare, to which his son and heir, James, succeeded; another Da,id \Vulf, 1360, was an assessor of that county to a hosting, while said Jas. \Volfe was in a similar commission over the Barony of Rheban. In 1372 Ralph and John ,volfe were commissioned, with other men of Kildare, to see to restoring of cattle and spoils which had been taken from O'l\Iore and his sept since his conformity to peace, while John Wolf was himself obliged to renounce by indenture any claims to certain lands and lordships in Leix. In 1406 he ;had lea \·e of absence for one year to go over to England on business of state. On Octoliciou' s map the family are located in the barony of Clanwilliam, co. Tipperary, also were territorial proprietors in co. Kildare, where l\Iona died in 1582, seized of Beart and other estates. Edmund ,volfe was at the same time seized of Kilcolman, Oldcourt, Ardskoll, &c., all which were forfeited by attainder of Nicholas, 1641, at which three others of same name were outlawed.

. Landed Properties !Jelonging to the Family .-The estates of Cloghranke and Clogh­ fooke, co. Kilkenny, passed, about 1668, from Philip Purcell to Edward Purcell as part of his ancient estate of inheritance ; from him they passed to Ellen Powell, claugkter of Captain John Powell, afterwards the wife of Edmond Tirrwhit, Esq., and from her to Toby Purcell and Alice his wife, the latter her daughter; then to the Rev. Dr. Richard Baldwin, on payment of the mortgages thereon subject to redemption by John Purcell, Esq. At Dr. Baldwin's death they passed to Richard Robbins, Esq., nephew and heir-at-law, with the lands of Drillington, Bouncers­ town, Coerstown, Ballypunk, and Wildfield, co. Kilkenny, and part of the lands of Old Connaught Bray, co. Dublin, and in 1756 he purchased John Purcell's equity of redemption. At Richard Robbins' death, in 1770, they passed to his sister, }Iary Robbins fafterwards wife of ,vmoughby Lightburne], and from her by will to her relative, :Elizabeth \Volie, wife of John ,volfe, of Tentower, and daughter of l\Iary Proudfoot. Tentower [house and lands] was purchased by l\Ir. John Wolfe, the Notary Public, from the R~v. Adam A,rerill, afterwards assigned to his son, Robert Wolfe. Also freehold house and premises in Aungier Street, Dublin. Also the undermentioned lands in De\·onshire, being the properties of the Rev. Prebendary R. R. Wolfe :-Freehold estates of Leighon and Heals, purchased in the year 1886 from Robert H. Nosworthy and others. and containing 95 acres ; with "'' common rights'' over the adjoining commons of l\Ianaton. l!anors of lliington and Bagtor, purchased in the year 1888 from the trustees of the late "l\Iost Noble Edward Adolphus l:!th Duke of Somerset," and containing 1,102 acres.

APPENDIX. APPENDIX.

APPDi"DIX No. 1. 11.uo:a-GmaRAL J.lllEs Wotn-.- There are, perhaps, few of our illustrious characters, if any, born within the last two centuries respecting whose ancestry so little is known, than is that of the hero of Quebec; every effort would seem to have been made within the last century to discover definitely from what source he was derived. That he was of Irish origin seems indisputable, but of hi-, immediate ancestry there is but one attempt at record. and that would seem to be contained in MSS. written by the Reverend .James ,vrute, a priest of the Church of Rome, probably before 1765, in which year he was still living. Ferrar, who was a Limerick man, published his first edition of his history of Limerick in 1765, and a second in 1787. Mr. liaurice Lenihen, of Limerick, also published a work in 1860. entitled "Limerick : its !Th;tory and Antiquities,'' &c. Both made use of the materials in the W'hite MSS. in the preparation of their respecth.-e works. .A.t p. 55 of :Ferra.r's edition of 1787 occurs the following : '' On the capitulation of the city of Limerick in October, 1651, t-0 the Parliamentary General Ireton, twenty of the most distinguished of its defenders were excepted from pardon, and reserved for execution. .Amongst these were two brothers, George and Francis Wolfe : the former a military officer, the latter a Franciscan friar, who was hanged." And at page 350 of the same edition, he further states : "Captain Georg-e ,volfe, of the city of Limerick, was proscribed by General Ireton fsee page 55] for his attachment to the Royal cause. - He fled to the North of Englancf, where he settled, and his grandson, General Edward \Volfe, was appointed colonel of the 8th Foot in the year 1745. He transmitted his virtues to his son, Jiajor-General James ,Yolfe~ whose memory will be ever dear to his country, and whose name will be immortalized in history.'' Lenihen, in hls "History and _.\ntiquities," &c., of Limerick, only gives, of Captain George ,v oulfe [ at p. 7 58, .A.ppendi"t I., under the headings "Eminent Natives of Limerick," '"Na,·al and Military Heroes"] the following: "Woul£e, Captain George, grandfather of General James ,v olfe." There is thus a discrepancy between Fenar and Lenihen; one makes Captain George ,v oulfe great-grandfather. the other, only grandfather of the famous general. Unfortunately, a letter addressed !<> lfr. )Iaurice Lenihen, who holds the ,,1nte l\ISS. in possession, requesting mfonnation as to what the latter really did say on the subject, failed to elicit any reply. If Mr. Lenihen has quoted correctly, it is impossible that Captain George "oulle could have been General James's ancestor, as the time intervening between him and General James \Volfe renders it out of the question that he could be any other, if an ancestor at all, than a great-grandfather. IIr. Robert ,vright, in his biography of )fajor-Gen. James ,volfe, page 2, says: "In 1613 a sheriff named George ,voulfe, together with his colleague and the mayor, were _deposed for refusing the oath of supremacy. This George ,voulfe is said to ha\·e been the grandfather of his namesake, the proscribed captain, of. whom we •hall speak presently." In a footnote. he "Tites: ''See article by 'J. R.,' of Cork, -:ho gives the late Lord Chief Baron ,volfe as his authority for the consanguinity in Notes and Queries. Yol. Y. (1852], p. 280. The Chief Baron Lord Kilwarden, and the Ueverend Charles ,volfe, author of the poem on the 'Burial of Sir John 1\Ioore.' ha':e distinguished the stock that remains in Ireland." It is perhaps difficult to dc-c1de with certainty, '\\ith reference to this footnote, whether the Lord Chief Baron ~\.. olfe mentioned as the authority for the consanguinity, was Chief Baron Stephen \V-oulfe or Chief Baron Arthur ,volfe, Lord Kilwardcn. \Vright further states with !eference to Captain George Woulfe. at pages 3 and 4: "The chief delinquents were immediately executed, one of the swferers b~ Fria: 24 AJfandzx.

Francis, but his more fortunate brother succeeded in making a timely escape." And at page 4 : "Captain George W oulfe some years later married and settled in the North of England, at the same time adopting the reformed faith, and erasing the 'u' from his name. We have no further account of the captain's career, but the authority upon which the above details are founded assures us that Edward Wolfe, the father of the subject of this memoir, was his grandson." And this authority he gives in a footnote to this extra.ct as "The History of Limerick, by J. Ferrar. Limerick, 1787." On comparing what the latter author says, and what is here extracted from Wright's Biography; it is clear Wright has amplified what is given by Ferrar, for the latter states simply: "He fled to the North of England, where he settled, and his grandson, General Edward ,volfe," &c. While Wright, upon th.is statement, says : "He some years later married, adopted the reformed faith, and erased the 'u' from his name." Surely there is no justification ~·hatever for assert­ ing all this, which is mere assumption. In page xx. of his preface, he says : "I have been careful not to write beyond my knowledge, and the few inferences I have drawn are gi\"'en as such, to be accepted or rejected at the reader's option." It is evident this is a case in point, for he certainly found nothing in Ferra.r's work to justify the statement that Captain George \Voulfe "some years later married," "adopted the reformed faith," and "erased the 'u' £rom his name." Wright, in the same note in which he gives Ferrar as the authority upon which he founded what he states of Captain George W oulfe, after his escape from Limerick. refers to the connection by marriage of General Edward \Volfe's sister to a Gould­ smith of Limerick [which relationship he certainly alludes to when he says, "James Wolfe bad cousins by his father's side, who resided in the same locality"] as a further proof of his having been derived frqm the "Woulfes" of that city. This certainly is not without significance, but it is equally possible to have arisen from an accidental meeting of the members of two families, situated or domiciled in widely different localities, of which there are abundant examples. The whole account, therefore, of their descent from the Limerick family of "Woulfes," turns upon the accuracy of the Re\"'. :l\Ir. White, in the statemE"nt . contained in his l\ISS. He was a contemporary of both General Edward Wolfe and his son, and ought to have been able to obtain, as could Ferrar also, at the time they wrote, a full account of the family history in all its details. But from the fact that so little is given on a subject that, at the time of James Wolfe's death, must have been of great interest, it seems doubtful whether \Vhite was not misinformed, giving the story probably upon the authority of some member of the "Woulfe" family then in Limerick, who may have claimed relationship with James \Volfe simply because he had become famous; just as e\"'en now, several families of the name. bearing no apparent relationship to each other, and without a particle of proof, assert their l-inship with the hero of Quebec. It does not seem natural to suppose that in li60, about one hundred and nine years after Captain George Woulfe escaped, as i~ said, to the North of England~ his grandson and great-grandson should be given. while that of the son, the connecting link between him and General Edward ,volfe, should have been wholly omitted. Nor is it likely, if there was any real foundation for the story, that the actual locality in which the familv was settled in Engfand should fail to ha\"'e been noticed. .. The article by J. R., of Cork, in Notes and Queries, if given on the authority of Chief Baron Stephen \Voulfe, and not that of Lord Kilwarden, is doubtless an assertion only on the authority of Ferrar, for the original source of the information~ the ,Vhite lISS., do not appear to have been then known. In the editionof Burke's Landed Gentry for the year 1879, Captain George Woulfe and his brother the friar are made to appear as members of the Clare Woulfes, and as sons of Patrick Woulfe of Corbally, whereas all accounts agree in representing them as of thP. Limerick family; and if Wright is correct in saying Captain George Wolfe was S3id to be a grandson of George ,voulfe, sheriff of Limerick in 1613, it was impossible he could have been anv other than a distant relatiYe of the Clare famil;. It is further worthj· of remark that Ferrar, no doubt copying from \Vhite, asserts that Captain George W oulfe settled in the north of Engfand, thus implying he remained t}lere until hl.s death. If this were the caae, and ,vright ass~es correctly .Appendtx. that he there married, it is no doubt equally correct to assume that he married an English lady, or even, if he married a countrywoman of his p:wn, that the children of the maniage, being associated with none but English people, would have become, to a great extent, Anglicised, and that they would be looked upon as English ; but the account we have of his supposed grandson, Gen~~l Edward, is, that he was an Iri~hman, as will be shown later on. Of course it is quite possible Captain George Woulfe's children, if he had any, may have settled in Ireland, but the balance of probabilities is that· they would settle in the county in which their father was domiciled, and possibly died, or in neighbouring counties. The term "North of England'' embraces a large field, indicating a considerable ignorance as to his sub­ sequent history, and of the family generally, that the county and parish in which he had settled does not appear to have been known. Belie,ing that it is quite possible further light may be thrown upon the subject, as fresh papers are discovered or brought to light, and to facilitate any efforts that may be made towards unra,·elling the mystery that surrotmds the antecedents of the family, I give all the information connected with the claims of relationship of persons on either side of the family [that of the ,volfes and Thompsons] that has been discovered, through correspondents, ,vright's Biography, &c., after which it is pro­ posed to give a possible indication of the line of descent, or what might ultimately prove to form part of it. Beginning with the father of General Edward, whose Christian name is not 1mown, the following pedigree gives his immediate descendants, for some of which Mrs. Henrietta Wolfe's will is an authority.

l[rs. Burcher was alive in August, 1755, and she, with her husband, which latter, ~ccording to James \Volfe, had "'the appearance of civility and good breeding.'' li~ed in a miserable mansion in the New Forest [vide page 322 of \Vright's U1ography J.

Another claim to relationship is the following. A lir. Joseph "White. of 2, Huntley road, Liverpool. cfaimed for his t:,rre.at-grandmother, Rebecca "rolfe, kinship with the hero of Quebec. He writes, under date 15 April, 1836: '' Rebecea. ,volfe was daughter of John \Yolfe~ and his wife, .Mary \Valthall, daughter of Peter Walthall, of \\"'istaston estate, Nantwich. Her grandfather we have no data of. Rebecca married James Thomas [my mother's grandfather]; their only child was Walter Thomas (my mother's father], who was heir to the ,vista~ton estate, hut was kept out of that inheritance in consequenee of the malicious or accid1:mtal destruction of the maniage register of Rebecca \Volfe to James 'l'homas.'' As a proof of kinship, be stated in a previous letter that the family possessed a portrait and decanter, relics of J a.me~ \Vulfo, and of these he writes : ".As we understand, James Thomas, my gr-.. mdfathcr's father, married Rebecca \Volfe~ .first cousin to General James \Volfe. The portrait and decanter were left in my mother's ~ssession by her eldtst sister, Rebecca Thomas, who died in 184:5." The existence of relics of James \Volfe in this family goes far to confirm the tradition of relation­ ahip; and, if corr~t, Rebecca's father, John \Volfe, must have been brother of A.Jpendiz.

General Edward and Major Walter Wolfe. As the scene of the marriage between John \Volfe and :l\Iary \Valthall would appear to have been in Cheshire, it is not impossible, if the \Vhite !\ISS. giYe a correct account of General Wolfe's origin, that the part Captain George ,volte settled in may have been in or near the county of Cheshire ; but there have been ,volfes in Cheshire, the descendants of "Hugo" of the manor of Rode, who lived in the time of ,viiliam the Conqueror [see Harleian lISS. 2119, fo. 83, British l\Iuseum Library], and the two Generals may very well have been descendants of this Cheshire familv. There were also Wolfes of Hather­ ton in Cheshire, who may have .been descendants of the " De Rode" family, of whom two, who died respectively in 1669 and I 715, bear the same Christian name as Genera.I Edward. The Edward who died in 1715 left no children, but the Edward who died in 1669 mentions µi his will [Chester Probate Court] two sons and a daughter-John Edward and Elizabeth: also a brother James and his wife liar­ garet. The son Edward of this family was doubtless he who died in 1715. General Edward ,volfe may have been in no way connected with this Hatherton family; but if Rebecca was a first cousin of James ,volfe's, her father and General Edward must have been brothers, and th11s we would have three names-John, Edward, and James, in this Hatherton will in correspondence with the general's family. The number of generations, however, from Rebecca downwards, hardly corresponds in date with James ,volfe' s time. Allowing thirty years for each generation, her father would appear more likely to have been his first cousin than his daughter. The following, given in pedigree form, shows all that is known of Rebecca and her descendant.a,- &c. :-

, The Walpole anecdote, as related by Lord Shelbourne, who calls General Edward ~olfe a dull Irishman, establishes the fact that he was of Irish origin. Lord S. <:onbnues to say: "As colonel in the Guards he·commanded the troops in London, and saved Sir Robert \Valpole's life [as he considered] during some riots: and being­ illl powerful, Sir Robert wished him to choose his own reward, and expected him to 8:,;k for a peerage, but the only thing Edward \Volfe wished for, after some considera­ ~ion, was for permission to riue. through Hyde Park, which was only then allowed LProbably some one pa.rt] to royaltf and great personages. Sir Robert granted it :at once, but asked him if he would like anything more-a peerage, for instance~ but Uie colonel still kept to the one and only demand for permission to ride through the park!' lli8 determined refusal no doubt led Lord Shclbourne, whose tastes would not, have lain in that direction, to call him a dulf Irishman. · 28 A.ppendix.

· I am indebted to Mrs. Scarlett for the preceding and for the following explanation of the conjunction of the names ,volfe-l\Iurra.y, in the case of the Wolfe-1\Iurrays of Cringletree, to whom it was communicated by her mother-in-law, the Hon. l\Irs. P. C. Scarlett, who is a member of.that family. It appears that her great-grandfather was at the siege of Qut::bec, serving under General Jam.es ,vol£e, and was a great friend of his. On the general's death l\Iurray took command of the troops. )Ira. llurray, his wife, was the only lady who in those rough days accompanied her hus­ band through the campaign, and it was by the particular request of James ,volfe that they cal1€:d their eldest son "Wol£e '' after him ; he also desired them to christen every eldest son of-the family by the same name, which has been done ever since. It may be of interest to students of the subject now under consideration to give here the several coats of arms recorded in connection with General James Wolfe, the W oulfes of Limerick and Clare, and the W olfes of Forenaghts, Cheshire, &c.

In the '' Genealogist," vol. 2, p. 2, is contained the following :-" The family of Tyndall of Brotherton, in Yorkshire, which flourished through two centuries, and ended in Bradwardine Tyndall in 1686, whose onlv surviving daughter and heiress, Lucy Tyndall, -was grandmother of the renowned General James ,volfe." It may here be added in reference to what has been before stated bearing upon the assertion of the actual descent of General Edward \Volfe from Uaptain George \Voulfe of Limerick, that it is somewhere recorded that " Captain George \Voulfe had a daughter, Lady Anne \Volfe~ aunt to General Edward ,volfe, a maiden lady who died at Westminster 28 December, 1846," but where this note or record exists is not known to the writer. The year of her death, if given as 1846, cannot possibly be correct-probably was a clerical error meant for 17 46. Her birth, had ah~ really been a daughter of Captain George \Voulfe, would, it is thought, have oecurred between about 1653 to 1660, in which case she must have lived to an extreme old age to ha,·e reached the year 17 46. If she was really General Edwaru.'s aunt it would t>Cem odd she was never alluded to in any letters recorded in Wright. Notwithstanding, however, the several points which I haV"e referred to as sup­ porting in some slight degree the origin of James ,volte's family as given by Ferrctr, 1~ is by '!10 means convincing, and it is equally possible his ancestors were of an en­ tirely different stock. ln the " Domestic State Papers," vol. 26, p. 1653, there is referenr.e to a petition of Jane ,volfe to Cromwell for a pension for services rendered by her late husband, Lieut.-Colonel \Volfe, who died in Ireland six months after arriving there, that is, some time in the year 1650, leaving her~mlf with six small children. In her petition "he mentions the fact that her husband sold 8omc of his Irish property to advance the cause. This poi:;scssion of property in Ireland would appear to establish the fact jo Appendix. that Lieut.-Colonel Wolfe and his family were Irish. In the petition his Christian name does not appear, but in the ,vills at Somerset House, Index No.- 17, Gore Admons 146, letters of administration are taken out by Jane Wolfe 25 September, 1650, in the intestate estate of Edward Wolfe. The locality is gi\"en as Ireland, and the letters of administr-d.tion to " Jane \Volfe, late in parts of Ireland.'' Again, in the parish register of St. liichan's church, Ormond Quay, appears the name of Lieutenant Edward "\\... olfe and :Margaret, his "ife, recording the burial of a daughter, Jane, on the 16th July, 1681, and the baptism of three other children­ Arabella 4 April, 1676, Ann 14 December, 1676, l!argaret 4 December, 1677. The reappearance of the Christian names of Lieut.-Colonel ,volfe and his wife, in the name of the lieutenant and of one of his daughters [Jane], the latter just about the time he would have been married and a. father, seems almost convincing as to the lieut.-colonel and lieutenant being father and son. In the register Lieutenant Edward is recorded as of Lord "\Villoughby's "company," probably a miitake :for "regiment.'' "\\nether he ~ver obtained advancement beyond the rank of lieutenant would be impossible now to ascertain, owing to the fact of there having been two Edwards apparently at the same time in the army bearing a similar name. In the Military Entry Book, 1674 to 1678, p. 69, in the Record Office, Fetter Lane, London, appears in list of officers gazetted to Henry Lord O'Brien's Regiment of Foot, 24: February, 1677-8, "Captain Edward \Voolf.'' In the list of officers quitted or turned out of ser,ice of Ireland in List of Commissary-General's Muster, 1689, appears "Lieut. Edward Wolfe, half-pay, per diem, 2s." It seems, however, more natural to suppose that the latter, being on the Irish Establishment, must be the Lieutenant Edward Wolfe whose children were baptized at St. Michan's, and who, probably having property there, may have finally settled in co. \Vicklow, giving rise, if his father, to the tradition or assertion somewhere stated that General Edward Wolfe was bom in that county. Then we have as bom in 1685 General Edward Wolfe, who had a son named Edward. It would seem not improbable that in these four Edwards we have four ~nerations of soldiers of the one family-not necessarily through Lieut. Edward; 1t might have been through a brother. Although the interval between the baptism of the eldest of the lieutenant's daughters and General Edward's birth seems long, it is by no means u.nus-µal ; but it may very well be, that if he was of this family at all, he may have been the son of a "James'' \Volfe, a brother of Lieutenant

• Edward's, since he called his eldest son James apparently after his father1 and his second Edward apparently after himself; but it is equally possible the name James ~ ha-e been taken .from one of 1\Irs. ,volfe's relations. \Ve also know the general three sisters-l!rs. Burcher, 1.Irs. Gould.smith, and 1\Irs. Langley. They cor­ respond in number with the three dau~hters baptized in 1676 and 1677 in St. Michan's church. James \Volfe visited )Irs. Burcher in 1755, and speaks of her as a "surprhing old gentlewoman," an expression that implies a healthy-looking old lady who bore her years well. ,vere she one of the three daughters of Lieutenant Edward she would then have been about 78 or 79 year8 of age. Of :Mrs. Gould­ smith there is no allusion in \Vright's Biography other than that Edward Gouldsmith was '' \Vo1fe's father's sister's son." Of this son there are several references in James ,volfe's letters, first in 1 i42, and again in page 610 of \Vright's work, as "Captain Ed ward Gouldsmith," after James ,volfo' s death. His own death is recorded as occurring in 1764, but his age at the time of his death is not given, nor can it be conjectured from any other circumstances recorded in ,vright ·as to when he was born. \\·e may reasonably allow him to ha,·e attained the age of 40, which would make it ju:;t po:-.sible for hi:s mother to have been one of the three daughters before alluded to. He left a will in which he mentioned his -wife "Lucy Bindon." The "Lady Anne" said to have Leen recorded as dying in \Vestminster, aunt of General Edward. might Yerv well have been a sister of Lieutenant Edward \Volfe. It is to be regretted that in no instance is given the Christian names of the General's aiste~, thus rendering identification difficult, and until it is discovered. what names they bore the theory advanced that the General [Edward] may have been a son of Lieutenant Edward':s cannot be substantiated. A•uming, however, that I am right in the supposition that Genel"&l Edward was Appendix. 31 descended from Lieut.-Colonel Edward Wolfe, through Lieutenant Edward, the following would be their pedigree :- Lieut. -Colonel Edward Wolfe:;=Jane -. went to Ireland and died 6 I Letters of administra­ months after in 1650, leav- tion granted to Jane ing a wife and six children.

DEATH O:F w OLFE. (From the "Army and Navy Gazette.") Sir,-,Vith reference to General .Anderson's letter in your issue of the 10th inst., •·!11 you ldndly allow me space to ~ay that there can be no douht that the officer was Lieut. Henry .Browne, of the 22nd Regiment and the Louisberg Grenadiers. Those of your readers who desire information about the circumstances of ,volfe's death will find much to interest them in letters from l\Iajor-General Starke and Mr. Browne, of Coolarne, which appeared in " The Times '' of the 25th of January and the 4th February 1888 resncctivelv . , The former ..gave ' the' following4 J quotation from Captain Knox's •• Journal of Campaigns,'' which was published in 1769. just ten years after Quebec:-" Various accounts ha.ve been circulated of General \Volte's manner of dying, his last words, ttn~ the officers into whose hands he fell, and many, from a vanity of talking, claun~d the honour of being his supporters after he was wounded. But the circum­ •~nct:~ were ascertained to me by Lieutenant Browne, of the Grenadiers of Louisberg and the 22nd Ucgiment, who, with Mr. Henderson, a volunteer in the same company and a private man, were the three persons who carried his excellency to the rear, 32 A.pjendzx. which an artillery officer seeing immediately flew to his assistance, and these were all ~t attended him in his dying moments.'' · · The latter gave a copy of Lieutenant Henry Browne's letter to his father, from which I extract the following passages:-" I was the person who carried General Wolfe off the field. He was wounded as he stood within·a foot of me. • • • . The general did our company the honour to lead us in person. • . • The poor general, after I bad his wounds dressed, died in my arms.'' A summary of the whole of the circumstances is to be found at pp. 586-587 of Wright's Life of Wolfe. ScoTUs. Sir,-With reference to my former letter, will you permit me to add that the volunteer, l\lr. James Henderson, who assisted Lieut. Browne of the 28th Regiment, and who was attached to his company in the regiment, was granted a commission in the 28th, about a week after the surrender of Quebec. Quebec was surrendered five days after the death of Wolfe. The 28th haYe "Quebec, 17,59," in their colours. In " Gleig's British Military Commanders·• the following, refening to the death of Wolfe. occurs:-" He lay there, occasionally raising his head that he might gaze over the fiC:ld of strife, till, feeling bis eyesight begin to fail, he leaned bacl~a1·ds upon the soldier, 28th Regiment, who had supported him out of the line of :fire."

".APPB.'mlX No. 2. RicHAllD WoLFE d. 1678. Lord Kilwarden, in an account he left of the family, does not appear to have been aware of the existence of this the original ancestor of the "Wolfes of Forenaghts, &c." He speaks of John ,volfe, his son, as having been the first to go over to Ireland, but as the latter, it appeare, was but about thir­ teen years of age when bis father migrated to that country, it is evident he must have accompanied his father, together with his mother and sisters. ,\nether Richard ,volfe was a member of the family of the same name who were for centuries before landed proprietors in county Kildare, and who appear to have been despoiled of their lands in 16-H, four of them being attainted and outlawed, and returned when all troubles had ceased, it is now perhaps impossible to decide. The prior Kildare family were Roman Catholics, while that of Richard ,volfe were Protestants, and the Christian names common to the two families do not correspond. In addition, we have Lord Kilwarden's statement that they came from Yorkshire, and were not of the same stock with any other family in Ireland. But as family tradition is never very reliable, it is just possible they may have been of the same family, have been driven from their country during the troubles of the time when Roman Catholics, afterwards changing their religion while in exile, and when all had quieted down again returned to their own country to begin afresh. There is, however, it must be said, little, if anything, in support of this view, but rather the reverse. It would seem, judging from the two lawsuits in which Richard ,volfe was engaged in 1665, the first in the Common Pleas, in which only the judgment appears to ha,·e been recorded, the details of the case having been mislaid or lost, viz., Common Pleas Judgment, 1666 [roll 1!1]-judgment against Richard ,vclfe, late of the city of Dublin, gentleman, at the suit of \Vm. Parh.~nson, for £i8; the sec:ond in the Court of Chancery-" Richard ,volfe v. Gilbert l\Iarsball and \Villiam Parkinson"-wberein he describes himself as of Huttonread, co. Kildare, that his domicile before 1665 was in Dublin, and subsequent to that year, up to the day of his death, at Huttonread, in the co. of Kildare, a property some thirteen miles dis­ tant from Dublin. He probably remained in Dublin from 1658 to 1664 or 1665, finally, it is supposed, removing to Huttonread about 1665. His son appears to have afterward3 held the lca.se of H uttonrcad for some time. In the Chancery suit above referred to, dated 12 April, 16G;j, which has reference chiefly to cattle owned by Gilbert ?tfar~hall and purchased from him by Richard ,volfc. the date of the latter's migration to Ireland is clearly fixed, and seems to point to Durham as the county he and his fnmily may have migrated from. In this suit Gilbert :Marshall, in his IU\&Wer, says "th~t in or abo-qt the year 16~6 this defendant, being then seized in Appendix. 33 possession of several ~eat quantities of land in the kingdom of Ireland, a great part of which, the defendant was informed, was untenanted or destitute of stock of cattle thereupon, wherefore the defendant did send over from the kingdom of England into Ireland sixteen cows and heifers, or thereabouts, and one stud mare of the proper goods and cattle of this defendant unto the other defendant. "\\~illiam P~rkinson, gent., then in ll'eland, or ur.to one Thomas l\Iarshall, gent., this defendant's uncle, who then also lived in Ireland with or near the said other defendant; .that the said cattle might graze and depasture upon this defendant's lands there for the increase of the stock thereupon, or to be otherwise disposed to this defendant's best ad­ vantage, or as he should appoint ; and in or about the year 1658 this defendant did sell his said Irish lands, and thereupon did resolve also to sell or dispose of his said stock of cattle, and confesseth that shortly after he, this defendant, had some treaty or communication with the said complainant, then in England, touching the said c~mplainant' s buying thereof, for that he the said complainant then intended to go into Ireland to plant there. And this defendant doth further acknowledge that the said complainant did about the time in th~ bill mentioned authorise and instruct this defendant to receive the sum of fifty pounds or thereabouts for a debt due unto the said complainant by John Chilton, gent., which said sum this defendant afterwards received accordingly," &c., &c. . In the bill of complaint, of which the above is a portion of the answer, occurs the following: "'rhe suppliant, Richard Wolfe, of Huttonread, in the co. of Kildare, having about the year 1658 employed and entrusted Gilbert Marshall, esquire, to receive several sums of money due to the suppliant in England, which the said Gilbert received accordingly," &c. Further, the complainant continues, "Ye sup­ pliant did about the ~rst of June, 1659, enter into a bond of seventy-eigh~ pounds unto the~ said William for payment of thirty-nine pounds about a da.y long since past," &c. From these extracts it seems plain that Richard Wolfe migrated· to · Ireland in 1658, and in June, 1659, being then in Ireland, entered into a bond with \Villiam Parkinson, who, as shown in Gilbert :\Iarshall's answer, lived in that country. It also makes clear the fact that Gilbert l\Iarshall was a lawyer. From the testimony as witnesses in the case of two of the children of Richard ,v olfe, viz. -Jane and John-it would seem that Jane ,vas then the wife of Hugh Banner, of Punchestown, co. Kildare, and that she was 29 years of age or thereabouts at the date of her declaration [17 January, 1665], therefore born about the year 1636. ~ohn Wolfe, the son, deposed that his age was twenty years, or thereabouts, at the time of his declaration, therefore born about the year 1645, and that he knew Gilbert Marshall, one of the defendants, from his childhood, and the other defendant, Parkinson, for about six years. From the fact of Gilbert ~Iarshall being shown to be a lawyer, by being engaged to recover a debt, it is clear that he was the same person who was in extensive prac­ ?ce in England at that time as a barrister. In the Probate Court of Durham there ls a bond elated 26 April, 1681, between Gilbert liarshall, of Gray's Inn~ in the co. of ~Iiddlesex, esq., and John Blakiston, of the same place, esq., and John Case, of London, merchant, the condition of which was that the '' above Gilbert llarshall administer all and singular the goods and chattels which belonged unto Gilbert Marshall, gent. [his late father], late of Houghall, in the parish of St. Oswald, in the city of Durham.'' Surtces, in his " History of Durham," says, '- Above the south door [of Houghall Hall] is an escutcheon carved in stone of the arms of ~Iar­ shall. Gilbert :\Iarshall, of Solebv, was sequestrator, and a zealous parliamentarian, and resided at Houghall. w . Of the Chiltons there appear various records in the co. of Durham. In 1640 the will of a John Chilton, of the parish of St. Nicholas, was proved. There was a John Chilton, of Newbottle, a man of property, who had a son, in South Shields, in !he latter part of the 17th century. In the register of South Shield~, which begins in ~6.,3, a John Chilton, with a H.ichard Wolfe, were two of the twenty-four of the pansh who, on the 20th December, 1653, nominated Robert Chilton as clerk to keep the registers of the parish, and whose signatures were attached. In the records of the dean and chapter appears, under date 1627, Henry Chilton as lessee of property at South Shields, annual rent .£8 6s. Sd. A note to this entry says, "Confessed by ' 5 34 ~jpendzx.

'Woolf,' the tenant, to be -worth £80,'' &c., 10 l\farch,.1667-8. In 1671 a Jo~ Chilton stood sponsor to William, son of a Richard Wolfe. The above, coupled with the fact that John Wolfe, son of Richard, stated in his evidence, in the Chancery suit before referred to, " that he ln1ew Gilbert Marshall :from his childhood,'' leads to the inference that Richard Wolfe, before his migration to Ireland in 1658, must have lived in the co. of Durham rather than in that of Yor~shire, or on the borders of the latter and co. Durham, from the fact of his being associated in business transactions with two men, both apparently of · co. Durham, one of whom, Gilbert l\Iarshall, evidently having been known to him for many years. No trace of the baptism of any one of the five children [mentioned in the Chancery suit and his willl have as yet been found in any of the parish registers in and about Durham pr Yori, although records of many of the name exist there. It is quite po~sible, as before remarked, he may have been of the old Kildare stock. and ~th others attainted and outlawed, in which case the majority of his children would have been born in Ireland before his escape from thence, and that he settled in a county in England, either by chance or by design, where the name was com­ mon, and less likely to attract attention; but what little light is shed upon the mbiect points to an English origin. In Richard Wolfe's will, extract of which is given below, it would appear one of his daughters married a " Brunton." In the parish registers and in other Durham records this name appears. In the parish of South Shields, in 1673, an Arthur Brunton was sponsor to William, son of Richard Wolfe. The will of Ralph Brun­ ton, administered in 1714, appoints a William Brunton one of his executors. There are also wills of two "\'\... illiam Bruntons administered in 1668 and 1675 respectiveiy. From searches.made there were Wolfes domiciled at Easington, South Shields, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Gateshead, Houghton-le-Spring, &c. The earliest entry, being dated 1600, is in the Houghton-le-Spring register, which commences 1563. Extract of will of Richard Wolfe, of Huttonread, parish of Oughterard, co. Kildare, dated 7 December, 1678, proved 27 February, 1678: In the name of God, amen. I, Richard Wolfe. of Huttonred.e. in the co. of Kildare, in the parish of Oughterard, being.sick in body. but of perfect memory, praise be God for it, do make this, · my last will and test~ent, in fonn as follows :-First, I give and bequeath my soul to _..\.lmighty God, my Yaker, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Redeemer, and my body to be decently buried. according to the discretion of mv friends, in the church of Oughterard.

Given under my hand and seal this 7th day of December, 1678. The above was witnessed by John Wolfe and ,villiam Burgoyne.

APPE~"DIX No. 3. Joux WotFE of Baronrath d. 1715. According to the evidence given by him in the Chancery suit, in which his father was plaintiff, in 1665, he describes him­ self thus and declares: " John Wolfe, of Huttonrede, in the co. of Kildare, yeoman, aged twenty years or thereabouts, being sworn, saith that he, the said deponent, doth know the de­ fendants in this suit, and hath known Gilbert )Iarshall. being one of them, from. his, this deponent' s, childhood, and doth l-now \Villiam Parkinson, being the other of them, and hath known him for six years or thereabouts, and says that Richard Wolfe is this deponent's father, and further," &c. · Lord Kilwarden says of him, "His residence was, at least at the re'\"'olution, at )3aronrath, which he h-eld by lease from Sir ,villiam 8andys, Bart., whose estate those lands, with many others in that county, were. ,,nether he ever resided at Huttonread I ha"\'e not heard; but I have seen a lease made to him of those land:;, dated pretty far back in the last century [1600-1700]. Be that as it may, he con­ tinued to reside a.t Baronrath from the time of the revolution till his death at an A.ppendz"x. 35

extreme old age in 1715. He lies buried in the aisle of the church at Oughterard, . near the centre. ",iat property he possessed when he came into Ireland· cannot now be known.. He had a numerous issue, and he portioned his children for those days comfortably. If he brought little with him he must have had the merit of industry. He appears to have been valued and esteemed by his neighbours. Old Mr. Edward Ward, of Castle Warden, a plain, sensible, honest man, has told me he remembered old )Ir. John Wolfe well [such was his expression], that his fMr. Ward's] father was very intimate with him, that he was a man highly esteemed for his integrity and fairness in all his dealings. He was, with other gentlemen, appointed by the .Act IO, W. III., c. 3, one of the commissioners for ascertaining the mode of raising the proportion to be paid by the co. Kildare of a land tax of £120,000. "He appears for ·many years to have served annually on the grand juries of the county. To discover the actual state of his property is now impossible. I have seen a deed, dated in 1697, from James Bryan~ mortgaging the lands of Jenkinstown to him for £500. The inventory of his mo"Vables, taken after his death, and appraised by Richard Nowlan, Thomas Cavanagh, and George Eaton, is yet extant, and was exhibited in the Court of Prerogative 22 June, 1716. The amount of the valuation is £570 13s. 6d. In the year 1698 he obtained a new lease of Baronrath for fifty­ one years at £50 a year from Sir John Sandys, whose niece his eldest son shortly after married, and with a view to which marriage it is not improbable the lease was granted. There is also extant a release executed by three of the daughters of his daughter Eliza Blood [who had died in the lifetime of her father] of their share of their grandfather's assets, being £120 apiece. The distributive share of every child of John ,vo1fe must have been at least £84.0, exclusive of portions paid in his life­ time, having ample pronsion made for his eldest son. John ,volfe, in the year 1668, married )Iary Cooper, otherwise Colclough, widow of a clergyman, and died in the year 1715. The administration granted to his widow is dated 8 February, 1715. He had, by deed dated in the year 1713, settled his house and lands of Baronrath on his wife during her residence there, with remainder to his eldest son Richard, then of Forenaghts. His children, two sons and four daughters, were all married in the lifetime of their father, and received portions from him.'' John ,volfe was engaged in several lawsuits during his lifetime-viz.,.in Chan­ cery, Chancery bill, 169:2-1696, John Wolfe v. Ann Coakley, by which it appears John Wolfe lent. through his wife Mary. £Ii to Thomas Coakley, farmer, of Hut­ tonread, and took no receipt. Thomas Coakley dies without paying. John Wolfe sues wife for payment. Also, in Exche~uer bills, 1680, Duke of Ormonde v. Richard Neville, John \Volfe, Chas. Rooth, ,villiam Brunton, l\iary Page, &e. Duke of Ormonde demands or claims to be entitled to the rectories of Ballynagoologe, Bishops Court, Painstown, Great and Little Forenaghts, Reynstown ; Richard Neville, of Great Forenaghts ; John Wolfe. \Villiam Brunton, and William Toole, of Bishops Court; l\Iary Page. of Little ~.,orcnaghts, &c. Lord Kilwarden states of John \Volfe that 11e lies buried in the aisle of the church at Oughterard, near the centre. In the year 18i4 search was made in the church, long since a ruin, for the tombstone over his remains, and enquiries elicited the fact that some twenty odd years before, about 1846, a young lad, now one of Lord Clon­ mell's grooms, when witnessing the burial of one of the members of the Ponsonby family, and that also of a )liss Read, upon successive days~ who were interred in the enclosed portion of the ruin, enquired of an older companion the name of the family whose vault is in the churchyard to the south of the church. He said it belonged to ~he "\Volfe" familv, and that a tombstone bearing on it the same name was then in the church. The wspot was pointed out as near that of the Brunton family, and the stone, covered with moss, was then there. On clearing a portion away the lad saw tho name of " \Volfe" on the stone. Between that time and the year 187 4 the stone had been removed; but underneath where it lay were the remains of a human being, buried apparently with the head to the east. APPENDIX No. 4. JA!iE WoLFB, wife of a Hugh Banner, of Punchestown. From the evidence given by her in the Chancery suit, Richard ,v olfe v. Gilbert Marshall and William Par- · Appendix.

I kinson, in April, 1665, do we alone obtain any information of this early member of the family. From the fact of her daughter, and not herself, being mentioned in her father's will, it is presumed ishe must have predeceased her father. ,ve are there­ fore indebted to the evidence given in the case to the facts, that she was 29 years of age in 1665, and was the wife of Hugh Banner. Her evidence rnns thus : "Jane, the wife of Hugh Banner, of Punchestown, in ye co. of Kildare, aged 29 years or thereabouts, being sworn upon the Holy Evangelists, and duly examined by virtue of her oath, deposeth and saith as follows : To the first interrogatory saith that she, this deponent, doth know Richard Wolfe, complainant in this snit, and doth also know Gilbert liarshall and ,villiam Parkinson, defendants in the same, and saith that she has known the said plaintiff from her infancy, and hath known of said defendants for the space of seven years or rather upwards. This deponent's cause of knowledge appeareth for it, the said plaintiff is this deponent's father, and these defendants, having had some dealings with the same, she came to the know­ ledge of them,'' &c., &c. · · In her father's will his granddaughter, Jane "Bener,'' is mentioned, evidently the daughter of his daughter Jane Banner.

APPENDIX No. 5. DoRoTHY BRm.ToN, supposed wife of William Brunton. The only reference to Dorothy Brunton is contained in her father's will. It is assumed that her husband's Christian name was William, from the fact of a ,villi.am Brunton being associated with her brother, John ,volfe, in a suit-The Duke of Ormonde v. Richard NeYille, John Wolfe, Charles Rooth, ,villiam Brunton, l\Iary Page, &c., John Wolfe and William Brunton being shown therein as part lessees with \Vm. Toole, of Bishops Court (.Exchequer bill, 1680]. APPE~"DIX No. 6. ELEANOR Bt:RGOYNE, supposed wife of ,Villiam Burgoyne. It is concluded that William Burgoyne was her husband from the fact that she ·was alluded to in her father·s will as Eleanor Burgoyne~ and a '\Villiam Burgoyne signing as a witness to the will in conj unction with her brother John. ~ o further trace either in wills or other Tecords appears to exist of ,villiam Burgoyne. The Burgoynes were an old Devon­ shire :family, and WiUiam seems to have been a fa\·ourite Christian name in that familv. In Somerset House there exists the will of a '\Villiam Burgoyne, of Furninlle's Inn, London, gentleman, dated 16 1\Iarch, 1744:, and proved 17 April, 1745. In this will, amongst other bequests, is one to "my dear friend, Richard Banner, Esq., fifty pounds for kindness shown to him by Richard Banner, and his ·wife, :\Iary Banner, sil ~er candlesticks,'' &c. As Jane and Eleanor ,v olfe married a Banner and Burgoyne respectively, this conjunction of the two names again. would seem as if kinship brought them into close contact ; and the Christian name of .Richard Banner would seem to connect him with Richard Wolfe, the father of Jane Banner.

APPENDIX No. 7. llARY CooPER, otherwise Colclough [or Coakley, as pronounced], widow of Mr. John ,volfe of Baronrath, who d. 1715. Lord Kilwarden says ~•John \Volfe, in the year 1668, married ~lary Cooper, otherwise Colclough, widow of a clergyman named Colclough. There was a clergyman, the Rev. Thomas Coakley, :ll.A., T.C.D., 1679, attainted by James the II., 1689. His wife's name is un.lm.own, but he died without issue. He is styled as of Castle :\la.rtyn, co. Cork, and .Franktown, co. Warwick. Be was eldest son of Captain Thomas Coakley, of Cromwell's army in Ireland. In Chancery bill (1692-1696] John Wolfe v. Ann Coakley, John ,volfe of Batonrath, co. Kildare, gent., sues for recovery of £1 i, lent through his v;ife, :Marv, to Thomas Coakley, farmer of Huttonread, who died without paying. As the mode of spelling names was not so closely accurate in former times as at the present day, it is possible that tho name was variously spelt Colclough and Coakley. In the mention of the Coakleys above all seemed to have been named 'lhomas, probably 37 a favourite family name. The fact of Mary Cooper [ or Colclough or Coakley], wife of John ,volfe, inducing her husband to lend Thomas \Joakley money, lead8 to the inference that she did so through her first husband's kinship with. Thomas Coakley [ or Colclough]. . Mary Cooper remained at Baronrath after her husband's death, until her own, which took place ten years 4fter, viz., in 1725. There was a family ~amed Cooper that resided in Dublin, one of the daughters of which was a Mary Cooper, probably the 1\:Ia.ry Cooper who married successively Mr. Colclough and Mr. John \Volfe. APP:s..~n: No. 8. RICJLUD W OLFB d. 1732. In the lifetime of his father he settled at Fore­ naghts, it is believed between the years 1690 and 1699, probably about 1694 or S, a notebook of his found at Forenaghts, concerning transactions on the ~state, showing dates about the latter period. In 1707 he purchased the inheritance from the Aylmer family. He held the several farms of Haynestown and Tipper, joining his lands of Forenaghts, and after his father's death the lands of Baronrath, all which he managed "ith great skill, activity, and industry. He had by his wife Lydia Page twelve children; she died in the year 1715, about fifteen days after the birth of her last ch.ild. Her husband, though little past the age of forty at her death, remained unmanied, devoting all his time and attention to the care and education of his children. "And often,'' writes Lord Kilwarden, "have I heard such of his children as lived to converse with me speak of their father with the utmost reverence and the most tender affection ; and, indeed, all to whom those children were known must bear testimony that they were 9ducated in virtue and piety, and with. those plain, gentle, and simple manners that were the ornament of former times. In the year 1720 Richard \Volte rebuilt the house at lf'orenaghts, and upon the death of his mother in 1725 he went to reside in Baronrath, having settled .Forenaghts in present possession on his son John. He continued to reside at Baronrath, beloved and respected, until his death on 1 December, 1732, in the sixtieth year of h.is age. He left the charc1.cter of a cheerful companion, an hospitable neighbour, a good citizen, a tender father, a sincere Christian, and an honest man. His childt·en wer~ five sons and seven daughters. He was buried at Xaa.s, it is believed in the chancel of the church of 8t. David's. He left a will, which was dated 23 .No"·ember, 1732, and proved 8 December, 1732, the following bt:ing an abstract thereof :- · To be buried as near his deceased wife as possible. Bequeaths to daughter Eliza.beth £500, and to daughter Lydia £500 ; to son Theobald £800; son Richard, all the e:,tate and interest for lives and yea.rs of which he was seized and possessed in his :-everal farms of Ela.sty, liaronrath, and part of .liishopscourt, in the co. of Kildare, household furniture, linen and woollen, utensils for husbandry and stock, and all the stock which was on the farm at hi:s decc:mse, subject to the payment of the yearly rents received on the said fa.rm~ and subject to the payment of £l00 a year to his grand­ children, Lydia Cahill and .Rose Cab.ill. at the respectiYe ages of 21 years; and if either die, then £:!0O to the survivor, but .Richard Wolfe not to pay interest until they come of age; to pay £20 to his daughter Alice W olte, als Cab.ill, du.ring her lite; to his son ,villia.m £suo, and, if dying before, to sons John, Thomas, Toby, and Richard Wolfe equally, and, if Richard die, his property tc go to his executors, share and share alike; John Wolfe to be the guardian of the persons and fortunes of said sons and daughters-Richard, William, Elizabeth, Anne, and Lydia-until they become 21 rears of age; gra.nJJ.a.ughter Lydia Wolfe. daughter to son John, £100; son Thomas £5 for :ruourn­ tng, having proviu.cd fvr him sufficiently in his lifetime; sons John, Toby, ltichartl, and Ann and Lydia Wolfe .£5 apiece for mourning, and to son William £5 for mourning; daughters .Mary Sher­ lock, Alice Cab.ill, .Eli:.:abcth \1t olfe, and Anne W olfo, £5 ea.ch for mouruiug ; sons John and Thomas Wolfe all household plate, to be equally divided between them, and the rest of his goods to his sons John and Thomas, whom he appomts his ~ecutors.

During his absence his effects were collect~d, and by a due application of them his debt~ were discharged to the last shilling. lie returned to Ireland, and died in Dunda.lk in the year 1751, a.t the 4,ppendix. house of his relation, 'Mr.. Stephen Page, with whom he had resided during the latter years of his life. He was a man of a very indolent turn of mind, and want­ ing in that attentive sharpness of understanding so necessary to success in trade. · APPE:-iDIX No. 10. ELIZABETH BLOOD, eldest dau. of John Wolfe of Baronra.th. Lord Kilwarden says of her: " I know not how many children Elizabeth Blood, who died in the lifetime of her father, bad. She certainly had, beside three daughters, two sons." By wills in the Record Office, Dublin, the following ·would appear to give some of . her descendants : Thomas Blood~will dated 25 July, 1749, proved 30 June, 1749] of Lady Castle, co. Kildare, m.

There is also the will of Thomas Blood, merchant, dated 6 December, 1766, -who married Mary-, of Ballibamey, co. Kildare [will 13 December, 1778], who had issue, five sons and several daughters, of whom the following are mentioned:­ Edmond, Charles, Hugh, John, Holdcroft, Catherine. 1\lary, and Jane Blood. This Thomas Blood is probably third son of Elizabeth ,volfe, and younger brother of Charles Wolfe, and hence the eight children here given would be her grandchildren. Doubtless a more close and extended research into the wills and other documents in the Dublin Record Office would throw much light on the descendants of Eliza­ beth and Thomas Blood. The latter was a man possessed of considerable farms in co. Kildare, and of a small estate of inheritance in the co. :Meath. APPL"'iDIX No. 11.

APPE?.'1>ll No. 15. THoHAs WoLFE of Blackball d. 1787. Second son of Richard Wolfe, who d. 1732. Obtained the lease of Blackhall in the eo. Kildare, in his father's lifetime, for a term of ninety years, from his uncle, Alderman John Page, and there he im­ mediately settled. His father gave him a fortune on his marriage. and by his will bequeathed him a moiety of his undisposed residue, amounting, as I [Lord Kilwar­ den] have been well informed, to a very considerable sum. By unabated industry and regular economy he acquired a handsome fortune. having purchased an estate in King's co. and the inheritance of the lands of Blackhall. He married l\Iargaret Lombard, daughter of a clergyman of the co. Leitrim, merely from affection, the young lady bringing him no or little fortune. He died, in the perfect enjoyment of his understanding, after a short illness. He had several children, who all died young, except a son and daughter, Theobald and l\Iary. He left a will, dated 23 March, 1787, proved 7 April, 1787, of which the following is an abstract: To be buried in family burying place at Oughterard. co.

APPDDIX No. 17. THEOBALD WoLFE of Blackball d. 1799 [son of Thomas, who d. 1787]. He died at his house at Blackball, deeply and universally regretted by the country around him. He was an hone;st man, a firm friend, a just and firm magistrate, a brave defender of his country in the rebellion which raged in 1798. He. was a faith­ ful husband, a. kind -father, a good neighbour; modest in his manners, independent in his spirit, beloved by his friends, and respected by all to whom he was known. It is related of him, that during the rebellion, when residing at Blackhall, he received intimation from his butler that the house was to be attacked that night by the rebels. He at once made his escape and went over to London. A friend joined the rebels in the visit to the house, which they were about to set fire to, when he be~ged them to spare it, as he intended to occupy it himself after· the succ~ss of the rebellion. It wa.s accordingly spared. .A. dog left at the house, and the portrait of which is now at Blackhall, was found a few days after at the door of the house he lodged in, in London, but how he passed oYer to England and discovered his master's lodgings is a mystery. · His will, which was proved 29 October, 1799, referstomarriagesettlement, dated 20 June, l i71, "made in contemplation of marriage soon after solemnized with Frances Wolfe, otherwise Lombard ; certain townlands, tenements, hereditaments, in co.

APPENDIX No. 20. JoHN CHARLES WotFE [archdeacon] d. 1871. Second son of Major James Wolfe, who d. 184:0, was born at :Myrtle cottage, Old Dunleary. He entered Trinity College, Dublin, in 1834, and was ordained in 1839 for the curacy of Salleyby, co. Fermanagh, where he only stayed six months. His next three curacies were those of Tessauran, Kings co., and Forbane and Glasslough, co. Monaghan. He obtained the living of Ematris, co. Monaghan, in 1850, and lived there for upwards of fourteen years. Being threatened with consumption, he spent the winter of 1850 in lladeira, and the autumn of the following year at Gibraltar. He was married at Havre in 1855, while on a visit to his brother, the .British chaplain. In 1865 he was appointed archdeacon of Clogher, and removed to Clontibret. The clergymen of the district presented him with the degrees of B.D. and D.D. in the University of Dublin in 1871. He died at Coolmore, near Bally­ shannon, co. Donegal. Ten years after a handsome tombstone was erected over his grave in Clontibret churchyard by a few of his fellow clergy. He was the author of an ecclesiastical primer and " The Revelation of St. John the Divine, expounded on Futurist principles," the latter of which was only just published before his death. He was greatly esteemed and respected by all ranks and conditions of men. The following extract is taken from the parish magazine of St. John's Sandymount, Dublin, dated 1st October, 1871 :-" It has become our mournful duty to record the death of the Venerable John ,volie. D.D., archdeacon of Clogher. He was an earnest and zealous churchman. His highmindect.ness and genial manner, and conscientiousness had for several years endeared him to the diocese of which he was marked out as the bishop designate of Clogher, were the bishopric fund completed in his lifetime. He came of a good old stock, one that produced such men as the General ,v olfe who died on the heights of Abraham, and the poet [his uncle] who wrote 'Jugurtba't1 Prison Thoughts,' and 'The Burial of Sir John l\Ioore.' The family traits came out strongly in his character. Naturally of a retiring and studious disposition, a senst:, of duty often brought him to the front, and when there he was always found a zealous champion and a generous opponent. He was a contributor to the useful theological literature of our day : his 'Ecclesiastical Primer ' and recent work on Re,·elation will cause his name to be remembered. As we think of all he was. and all he has done, we feel as if the Church at the present time could ill afford the loss of so true a heart from among her children here; but God k,iows best.

APPENDIX No. 24. CHARLES \VoLFE, the poet, d. 1823. A relative who visited this distinguished member of the family in the north of Ireland [probably wheµ curate of Dungan• non] speaks of his '' nobility of mind, excellence of character, gentlemanlike bearing, and Christian feeling, as of a very high order. His whole heart was wrapped up in the duties of hi~ profession, while he aJ>peared to be negligent of bis own needs, and required looking after; for he would often come in from many hours' work, wringing wet, forget that he was wet, and sit down in that state to write-often missing one meal after another, unconscious in his earnestn~ss that he was fasting too long, and doing many other things equally heedless and thoughtless, seemingly quite unconsciously, wholly forgt:tting himself in his care of and for others. He seemed to relieve the bu1·uen of thought sometimes by writing poetry, a.nd when it was written would tear it up, dissatisfied with it, and burn or scatter its fragments.'' I am indebted to lirs.

APPEKt>IX No. 26. TnoBALD WoLFB, the emin.ent counsellor, d. 1784. Third son of Richard Wolfe, who d. 1732. He was educated at a grammar school in the city of Dublin and in Trinity College, where he entered a pensioner in the year 1726, and took the degree of B.A. in the usual course. From thence he removed in the year 1783 to the l\liddle TemJ>le, London, and was in Easter term 1737 admitted to ihe Irish bar. Previous to his going to England he had prh-ately married Elizabeth, dau. of Captain Charlton of Curraghtown, in the county of Meath. During hi~ absence in England, by the failure of one Daniel Reddy, to whom the fortune left him by his father had been lent, his whole property was lost, so that he entered on the practice of his. profession without ·any means of supporting himself and a wife, whom he most tenderly loved, beyond his professional exertions. His wife did not long survive his return. She died without issue. "I have heard those with whom he lived in intimacy at the time of her death say that his affliction for her loss was such fo:c its tenderness, continuance, and even manliness, as they had never witnessed. And to the last moment of his life, the writer of these sheets" [Lord Kilwarden J " can bear testimony that, though he suffered not her name to pass his lips, her memory was most tenderly dear to him. He pursued his profession with the most unremitting attention. For some years it yielded but a scanty income ; but by the death of his brother William, and a con­ siderable legacy bequeathed to him by a sister of his mother, llrs. Hendrick, widow of Alderman Hendrick of the city of Dublin, he was enabled to support liberally and suitably the character and condition of a gentleman of profession. In li45 he married his second wife, Elizabeth Dobbs, eldest daughter of ,villiam Dobbs, surgeon-general to the army in Ireland. By degrees, gradual and uniform, he attained to full practice ; and when he declined to practice at the bar, his yearly fees exceeded £our thousand pounds, which was an income as great as was then received by any of the profession. The bustle of court practice neve1· had been agreeable to his disposition, nor was he ambitious of preferment or even of the name of a great advocate, and his reputation for dispatch, knowledge, and integrity was become so high that he found it impossible to attend both to the business of the courts and of his chamber; besides, he was anxious for leisure to enjoy the delights of domestic life and the social intercourse of his friends. Hitherto, no man had laboured more, no man had enjoyed less. In Easter term 1767, after an uninterrupted attendance of thirty years, when in the enjoyment of perfect health, he retired from court practice and declined to read pleadings and all other business respecting the conduct of suits, confining his practice to opinions and conveyancing How muchsoe"·er he flattered himself that his leisure and enjoyment would be enlarged by the bounds he prescribed to his practice, he found himself disappointed ; every minute of his time was occupied, and his professional in­ come was not diminished. \Vhen he retired from the bar he had two sons lhing, both of whom he lost a few years after. Such strokes required all his piety and patience to sustain; but still, and quickly, he suffered one more cruel. On the 26th December, 1771, his wife died. She was a woman of a most liberal mind, possessed o! a manly understanding, adorned with all the amiable softness of her sex; her disposition ·was lively, her enjoyments domestic. To her eheerfulness and tender affection her husband was indebted for the happiness he enjoyed under the weight of the incessant labours of his profession. He that wrote these lines knew her well, and enjoyed her kind protection and almost maternal love, and felt he knew not what of inexpressible reverence for her memorv. After such losses .Mr. '~olfe resoh·ed to decline every kind 0£ business, but by tlie earnest entreaty of his fnends he ~·as pre\·ail(;d with, to prevent his falling into a. settled melancholy, to employ a '\·acant hour in the professional senice of his old friend. But he never afterwards suffered Lusiness to be an object of pro.tit, or to interrupt his ease. The reIDaindef of his life he passed in tl manner suite

whom he honoured with his friendship or familiarity ; respected, indeed revered, by all ranks and descriptions through the kingdom. ·He died 22 February, 1784, of a mortification, occasioned by razing the outer skin of his le~ thumb as he pared his nails. · Firm, kind, frugal, charitable, generous, a sincere friend, the kindest mas­ ter, the fondest father, the tenderest husband, a pious and unaffected Christian, one of integrity that no distress .could· shake, no temptation bias-in a word, he was a good man. He lost many children in his lifetime ; four daughters survived him.'' llany portrait engravings by Bartolocci and portraits of him in oils still exist. Another writer says : " The house, as well as his heart, was always open. He keft a kind of public table, which was every day filled by those whom he distin­ guished by his friendship and liberality, without parade. He was a patron of that charity which thinketh no evil, and was not more remarkable for the blameless sim­ plicity of his own life than for his readiness to impute the faults of others to human infirmity, and to veil that part of every character for which he could not apologise. He had a warm and active benevolence, which was not satisfied with alleviating dis­ tress, but continually prompted him to bestow happiness. His bounty was not 8Udden, transient, and capricious, like a hasty shower on a particular spot, but it was extensive, silent, and secret, like a morning dew, and the objects of it were first known when they deplored his loss. The same spirit appears in his will as in his life, by the many he has remembered by· a token of his regard. He died in the aeven~-fourth year of his age, in full possession of all his faculties, which he re­ ligned to God who gave them, not only with fortitude and resignation, but with complacency and hope." He built the family vault now in the churchya.ro at Oughterard. His will was dated 18 July, 1783, and proved 8 March, 1784. The follo~isan abstract of it: To be buried in vault prepared by him at Oughterard, in the county of Kildare, there mised wit.h the ashes of those whose loss I mourn, to rest together in peace and certain hope of a happy zesurrection to eternal life, through the merits, &c.

APPE~J>Ix No. 30. RICHARD WoLFE of Baronrath. &c., d. 1779. The fourth son of Richard, who d. 1732, the ancestor of the Baronrath branch of the family, to whom his father be­ queathed Baronrath and several farms and other personal fortune of good amount, settled at Baronrath, where he continu~d to manage his fortune with sh.ill and great · industry. He acquired a conside:rable landed property in the counties of Kildare and Dublin. Very early in life he married Alicia. Standish [see .Appendix No. 31], a match of affection merely. She had much beauty, but no portion. She died on the birth of her son \-Villia.m in the summer of 17n4. For many years her husband was inconsolable for her los~, secluding him~clf entirely from his friends and nearest relations, and continued to lead a very retired life till his death. He was a man of great worth, frugal without parsimony : was capable of great generosity. Until the death of his wife he kept an hospitable house, and always a plentiful table. He was of incorruptible integrity and fairness in all his dealings. He left a son and two daughters. His will was dated J.l December, 1773, and two codicils dated 15 May, li7 4, and 29 March, 1779, and proved 14 llay, 1779. The. following is an abstract of his will : SS,000 to each of his daughters Elizabeth and Ann, to be paid to them one year after his death, with interest in the meantime at 5 per cent. to be paid out of personal estate, if not sufficient to be paid out of real and freehold estate and chattel lease, and if a surplus to son William Standish Wolfe. To William Standish Wolfe, all lands, tenements, hereditaments in co. of Kildare and Dublin., and freehold lease of lands of Bishops Court and chattel lease of lands ol Baronrath in co • .Kildare, subject to debts and funeral expenses and legacies hereby bequeathed unto my brother, the .Rev. John Standish, and Theobald Wolfe, Esq., their heirs, &c. In trust, failing issue to sons and daughters of William S. Wolfe, to Elizabeth and Anne, and failing issue to them. to his brother Theobald. W. S. ,,olfe to be at liberty to charge bis estate with an annuity of £200 a year for his wife, and also up to £2,000 stg. for portions of younger children. Brother John Standish and Theobald Wolfe guardians of his children until they attain to 21 years of age, and executors of his will. Witnesses to will, Thomas Pleasant, Sam Bra.dish, John Carroll. He purchased in the year 1772 the property of St. Margareta, co. Dublin. It con­ sists of two townlands, Dunsoghly and Brogan, containing 443 acres, with the fair green and pate1;1-ts for the fairs of ~t. Margareta, situate in the barony of Castle- knoek, co. Dublin. · APPE!\"l>IX No. 31. AL1cu STA.."'i°DISH, wife of Richard ,volfe of Baronrath, co. Kildare, who d. 1779, is a descendant of the Standish's of Duxbury, co. Lancashire [ vide Burke's Landed Gentry1. The Standish family of Lancashire is divided into two branches­ Standisn of Standish manor, and Standish of Duxbury-both being descended from Thurston de Standish, who :flourished in the time of Henry the III., son of de Standish, who married about 1200. From his elder grandson, Jordan de Stan­ dish, came the family of Standish manor. Of this family was Sir John de Standish of Stanq.ish, mentioned by Froissart as squire and attendant of Richard the II. in 1381, when he met ,vat Tyler. 8tandish killed \Vat Tyler with a sword thrust in the stomach, a.nd was thereupon knighted. Another John Standish of this house was one of the heroes of Agincourt, 1415. Of this family, too, was the famous llyles Standish, military leader of the puritan emigrants of New England, whom Longfellow has sung of in his celebrated poem, '' The Courtship of liyles Standish." In his will Captain :\Iyles claims to be the great-grandson of a second or younger brother of Standish of Standish. From Hugh, the younger brother of Jordan de Standish, came the family of Standish of Duxbury. Thomas Standish of Dux.bury, by his wife Katharine, daughter of Sir .Alexander Standish of Standish, had a son James, who, by his second wife Elizabeth, daughter and heir of John Butelor of Raccliffe [1537], had issue, first, Thomas Standish of Duxbury; secondly, Chris­ topher, who was probably grandfather of James Standish, the Irish vice-treasurer, and of his brother Joseph, who became the ancestor of the Irish branch of the family and of the above Alicia Standish.

APP:INDIX No. 36. RoBBRT WoLF:S, d. 1811, fourth son of William Standish Wolfe of Baronrath, who d. in 1810. Before entering the army he qualified as a medical practitioner. He was killed in Java at the storming of the French lines of Cornelius, near Batavia. 6g

He was unmarried. . From the historical records of his regiment-the 59th-the following extract is taken: '' Immediately after the above affair [the taking of the valuable cantonment of ""eltevreden, near Batavia] the heavy artillery was ordered to be landed, and part of the army took up a position opposite to Cornelius, so as to panl the trenches, whic}l were carried on by the troops at a distance of eight hun­ dred yards from it. On the 22nd [August, 1811) the enemy made a sortie on our trenches and batteries, but were soon repulsed. Captain Olpherts, having been sent forward with his company, very gallantly attacked the enemy at the right battery, and the regiment coming up at the same moment, the enemy retired, and immedi­ ately opened a very heavy fire from his batteries. The loss of the army on the occa­ sion was six officers killed, four wounded ; sixty-seven Europeans and twentv-nine sepoys killed and wounded. On the 24th August, our batteries being completed, the firing commenced from them, and was returned with remarkable spirit. On the 25th the commander-in-chief, having particular information of the place from a deserter, resolved on assaulting it, and orders were accordingly issued at twelve o'clock at night for the storming of it the following morning. At one o'clock on the morning of the 26th the troops commenced their march £or the assault of the enemy's post Cornelius. Colonel Gibbs commanded one column, which was composed of the 59th regiment, the grenadiers of the 14th and 69th regiments, and a. battalion of Bengal sepoys. At daybreak th~ advance came up to one of the enemy's pickets, which was instantly attacked, and every one was either killed or taken ; but the alarm being given, a heary fire immediately commeneed from all the batteries and from the musketry of the nearest redoubt. The column pushed on, and notwithstanding the firm opposition, the height of the works and their pallisades, the four redoubts that faced the British lines were carried by the columns under Colonels Gillespie and Gibbs. An explosion of gunpowder near one of the batteries, which took place, occasioned the loss of many lives. The grenadiers of the regiment suffered severely, and Captain Olpberts and Ensign \Volfe met their death by the accident, Ensign Wolfe dying some few hours afterwards. ·

The ship, being disabled, was paid off, and Dr. Burleigh was appointed to the Essex fencibles as assistant surgeon, commanded· by Col. Irquart, and sent to Ireland, where he was appointed surgeon. He remained and served during the rebellion till the reduction of the regiment in 1801. He was then ap­ pointed to the 38th regiment in 1802, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel Vassall, and through the interest of my near relati've, Lord Norbury, chief justice of Ireland. He served in the 38th regiment until 1805, when he was transferred from the Irish to the English establishment through the interest of his friend Colonel Vassall, with a promise of the surgeoncy of the 95th regiment on his arrival in England, but was unfortunately ta.ken prisoner on his passage by a French privateer, with myself and three children, and taken into Calais, from thence to the depot of Valenciennes, where we remained from December, 1805, to December, 1813. A portion of the 9th and 30th regiments, being wrecked off the coast of Holland about the same time, were taken prisoners and sent to Valenciennes, cCJmmanded by Colonel Devernee, who, being ordered to Verdun with the other officers, requested Dr. Burleigh to fake medical charge of his men, which he did from that period, with the whole of the prisoners, amounting to 3,000 men, British soldiers, men-of-wars men, merchant iailors, and detenues. Dr. Burleigh had the payment also of the soldiers and men­ of-wars men, by order of the commissioner of the navy and army boards, to whom he paid £1 per month to each _man out of their British pay, and for which he received the thanks of the Duke of York and the commissioners of th~ navy on his return to England in 1814:. Dr. Burleigh was not gazetted surgeon of the 95th regiment in consequence of his being taken prisoner. He remained as assistant surgeon till his return to England in 1814, when the Duke of York, in consequence of his services 71 in France, gave him the differen.ce of pay from assistant surgeon to surgeon during the whole of his captivity, and ordered him to be appointed to the first vacant sur­ geoncy, which was that of the 2nd Ceylon regiIJ?.ent, in which be served from 1815 to 1822, when the regiment was reduced. The governor, Sir Edward Paget, then appointed him to a magistracy, which he held till his death in 1826. In December, 1813, when the allied armies entered the north of France, we were sent from Valen­ ciennes, at forty-eight hours' notice, with the whole of the prisoners to Tours, and from thence to Limoges, where all remained till the peace of 1814. Dr. Burleigh was the only officer that marched and remained with the prisoners during that severe march in the depth of winter, and during the march he afforded the men every comfort in his power by supplying them with shoes, flannel waistcoats and drawers, and on many occasions with carts to convey the sick. Myself, with eight children, accom­ panied them on the march, and was a witness to the poor fellows' sufferings.'' A tablet was raised to his memory in the old Dutch church in the fort at J atfna, where he died, with the following inscription thereon: "Sacred to the memory of George Burleigh, Esq., lI.D., surgeon of the 2nd Ceylon rifle regiment, whose body lies near this spot. He departed this life 8 April, 1826, aged 55 years. Dr. Burleigh served on board H.l\I.S. Brunswick in the memorable actions of the 28th and 29th May, and 1st June, 1 794, under Lord Howe, throughout the rebellion in Ireland in 1798, and during the Kandian insurrection in 1817 and 1818." From a letter, of which the following is an extract, received from Captain H. C. Burleigh, R.N., of the Moorings, O'Reiha.n, New Zealand, Dr. Burleigh would ap~ to have been descended from the Burleighs who settled in co. Down in 1649 [vide Burleigh of Carrickfergus, Burke's Landed Gentry]. The coat of arms of that lamily, however, and that given as Dr. Burleigh's dfffer very materially. [See Appendix No. 33] : · "I regret that I am unable to give you any positive information about lour ancestor, George Burleigh. l\Iy eldest brother left no sons, and when he die the property was disposed of and the family broken up. Unfortunately I was abroad, and no. c.a.re was taken of the family papers. The pedigree which I managed to rescue was in a very dilapidated condition, and I have only been able to follow out the senior line, which I represent. I send you a copy, from which it appears there were two off:,hoots, which I have marked with blue cross. To the best of my belief George Burleigh was the son of John, who married 1\Iary Jackson, and left a son and daughter. I have heard my father speak of him, but, as I say, I have no positive information. The first of my family who settled in Ireland was captain of a ship­ of-war in the Solent, and was, with a number of his men, under the window of Carisbrook castle when Charles the I. endeavoured to escape, and got his head jammed between the bars of the window. For this he was imprisoned at Winchester, but managed to escape to Ireland. He belonged to a Hampshire family. The Burleigh you mention as of Armagh was probably one of my family, as we had property there until recent years. I am not aware of any relation to the Kingsleys of Tipperary. lly connection is of a later date. lly maternal grandfathf3r married a Miss Kingsley of Clovelly, co. Devon, an aunt of Charles Kin..,asley's. The Dobbs family are intimate friend8, and connected br intermarriage. The Rowans also, my sister having married Rowan Legg, son of Captain Rowan, R.N., who assumed the name of Legg.'' · The following is the pedigree referred to above, Dr. George Burleigh being shown where indicated. viz., as son of John Burleigh and Mary Jackson. It was probably through relatiYes of his mother· s he may have met with his wife in co. Tipperary, for a family of Jacksons of Rapla, near Nenagh, existed in that day in co. Tipperary as well. also the Kingsleys, who resided also near Nenagh, and one or whom he subsequently married. His being the son of a John Burleigh seems strengthened by the £act that his eldest son was so christened. PEDIGREE. William Burleigh settled at l\Iagherlin, co.

APPDDIX No. 43. AlfToINErrE ELIZABETH KuYS, second wife of Charles Henry Wolfe, Esq., is of French and Dutch lineage. Joachim Pasque~, marquis de Chavonnes, was married about the year 1565 to Mdlle. Petronella, heiress of de la Galle, situate near Nantes in Bretagne. The said Marquis de Chavonnes was, together with a great number of other Protestant noblemen, allured to court on the occasion of the marriage of the young Prince of Beam with the Princess Margaret, sister of Charles the IX., when most of them were inhumanly massacred· during the night of St. Bartholomews, 24 August, 1572. He, however, found means to escape, and fled with his family, as also his sister, the wife of Admiral de Coligny, and his daughter, the wife of Count de Seligny [the latter of whom, together with the admiral, had likewise fallen victims to fanaticism1, to Holland, where the widow of Seligny and daughter of the grea.t Coligny was su'bsequently married to William, first Prince of Orange. His son, Perri Pasque de Chavonne, was married first to }Idlle. du Coujet, by whom he had issue several children, who all died very young. After her death he manied )Idlle. Jeane de Savorin, from which marriage were bom: . 1. Dominique Pasque de Chavonne, b. 2 Feb., 1645, m. Tere Verra. 2. Louis Pasque de Chavonne, killed at Tobago, being a captain in the regiment of Hofwegin. 3. Maurice Pasqua de ChavoYJne, b. in the Hague 23 July, 1654, brigadier-general in the service of the united province, member of council of the supreme govemment of Netherlands India, and governor of the colony of the Cape of Good Hope, where he died 8 Sept., 1724. - Dominique Pasque de Chavonne, above-named, was married in July, 1669, at Breda in Holland, to )!aria Laing of the house of Donquenney in Scotland. His son, Dominique Pasque de Chavonne, b. at Lawestein in 1673, was a captain in the Dutch navy. He married first, Jiaria :Magdalen van Grimbergen in 1698, and after her death he married his second wife, Isabella Bolweek, in 1710, from which latter marriage was born : 1~ Maria Magdalena Pasque de Chavonne, on 11 April, 1718. In the latter end of the same year, 1718, his father, the said Dominique Pasque de Chavonne; while lying with his ship in the harbour of Sourabaya [Java], was treacherously wounded with a poisoned kris by the Prince of ~Iadura, whom he was conveying to BataYia as a state prisoner, of which wound he died on 12 January following. His widow was re-married to Anthony Jan van .Muyden, sen., mer­ chant, in the service of the Dutch East India company, after whose demise she touched at the Cape on her return home in the latter end of 1738, being accompanied. by her daughter, ~!aria :Magdalena Pasque de Chavonne. On 22 l\larch, 1739, the said Maria :Magdalena was married to Daniel ,·an Heyning, curator at Litis, and member of the worshipful court of justice, Cape of Good Hope. Their daughter, :Maria Henrica Roelanda van Heyning, was manied on 2 Nov., 1777, to the Rev. Johannes .Abraham Kuys, V.D.:U., who died on 3 Dec., 1798, aged 43 years, while she died on 23 August, 1838, aged 81 years. Of their marriage ·was bo1n: 1. Arnoldus Phillipus Kuys, b. 4 May, 1779, d. 24 June, 1832, at Hoom in Holland. 2. Maria Isabella Kuys, b. 2 Feb., 1782, d. 2 August, 1799. 3.

Heyning by his wife Gertrude Verwerg. He was a senior merchant in the service of the Dutch F...a.st India company, and a member of council of the Cape of Good Hope government. He was born in Delft on 2 Nov., 1686, and d. at the Cape on 8 Dec., 1759. The e~tate belonging to the family of the Chavonnes was confiscated by the French government when he left the country. The name is still preser'\"'ed at the Cape, or at least was till lately, in the Chavonne battery, now demolished, which commanded the roadstead of Table bay. The above Antoinette Elizabeth Wolfe, nee Kuys, is therefore descended. from Joachim Pasques, marquis de Chavonne. ·

APPENDIX... No. 44• [From" Cape Times," 13 April, 1893.] "We regret to announce the death, at Kalk bay, yesterday morning, of Jlr. Charles Henry Wolfe, of the expenditure branch of the control and audit office. Mr. Wolfe, who was in his 71st year, had gone down to Kalk bay to spend a por­ tion of a month's leave there, and a day or two ago was apparer.tly in his usual health, with the exception of a slight cold. Unfortunately, however, he caught a chill whilst fishing, and bronchitis and influenza ensued, with the sad result men­ tioned. Mr. ,vo1fe, who entered the Cape civil service nearly half a century ago, was widely known and universally respected by all who came in contact with him. Among his intimate friends he was beloved for his genial manner and sweet, sunny temper. He may be called the father of amateur boating in Table bay, as he was one of the founders and the first stroke of the Civil service boating club, and to the last was familiarly kn.own as' the skipper.' Fishing was his favourite sport, and few men knew more of our local fish and how to catch them. Old readers of the ' Cape Monthly :Magazine' will remember many pleasant piscatorial articles from his pen. Owing to his intimate acquaintance with the subject he was appointed chair­ man of the recent fisheries commission. He pursued his favourite sport up to the last, and died, as already stated, from the effects of a chill caught whilst pursuing his pet pastime of fishing from the rocks at Kalk bay. Mr. ,volfe was eldest son of Major \Volfe, formerly commandant of Robben island, and subsequently resi­ dent magistrate of ,v ynberg. He had two brothers in the arm.y, General George Wolfe and Colonel Richard,. [Robert] " ,volfe. He was a nephew and namesake" rcousin and godsonJ '' of the Rev. Uharles ,volfe, the author of the well-known fines on 'The death of Sir John :\Ioore,' and he came of the same stock as the heroic General Wolfe. Kilpin gives his services as follows : Acting landing waiter H.)I. treasury in September, 1846; acted as first sub-collector of customs, East London, from January to l\Iay, 1848; on transfer of customs department in October, 1853, to the control of the colonial government, was appointed warehousekeeper; placed on the pension list in October, 1867; joined the control and audit office in :February, 1872; -was appointed inspector and accountant in July, 1880; acted as assistant con­ troller and auditor from 21 July to 22 December, 1880; chairman :fisheries committee .February to May, 1892." [From" Cape Times,'' 14 April, 1893.] "The funeral of the late llr. C. H. Wolfe, sen., of the control and audit office, who died at Kalk bay on ,vednesday morning, took place at l\laitland cemetery yesterday afternoon, the burial service being performed by the Rev. Archdeacon Lightfoot. A large number of mourners attended the funeral, including most of "the officers of the control and audit office-llr. Percy Nightingale, inspecting com­ missioner; l\Ir. G. A.. Reynolds, of the master's office; and lir. A. Fuller, of the defence department. l'ho following gentlemen acted as pall-bearers: Hon. C . .A. Smith, controller and auditor-general; ~Ir. John Home, surveyor-general: Mr. John E. B. Rose, assistant controller and auditor; Mr. John Noble, clerk t-0 the house of assembly; :Mr. W. E. Gurney and Mr. C. B. Fair, of the control and audit office. A number of beautiful wreaths were placed on the grave when the ceremony was over, amongst them being one from the control and audit o.ffic,;e, one from the Rose Croix lodge, of which the deceased gentleman was a member, and one from the members of the Civil service boating club." 76 A.Hendix.

The action of the war office in thus shelving an active, energetic officer, in the prime of life, has been a good deal commented on, and seems to be opposed to the spirit, if not the letter, of :Mr. Childers' promises, that existing colonels who attained thE: rank of lieut.-colonel before October 1, 1877, should ha,·e compulsory retirement delayed for four or five years. The date of retirement, June 28, would appear to have been arbitrarily selected to exclude this officer from the benefits of the warrant of July 1, and we think Jlr. Childers can hardly have had the whole facts of the case before him. l\Iajor-GcncrJ.l ,volfc has been known most favourably throughout the whole of his long period as a publi~ accountant, and in addition did good service in the field in the earlier pa.rt of his career in India, China, and the Cape, and we hope that his claims to a good service pen~ion will not be lost sight of. He retires with hig-h titular rank, and with years of good work in him yet, of which we cannot but think these new retirement schemes unnecessarily deprh-c:, the country." In lfa.y, 1884, :Major-General Wolfe wa.~ appointed assistant commissioner British Ba.•mtoland, South Africa, under Sir ~Iarsha.11 Clarke, K.C.lI.G., the com­ missioner. He has been mentioned most favourably in the colonial and other news­ papers · for the manner in which he conducted tlic duties of his office [ vide a f-=:w extracts below], which comprised the supervision of 60,000 natives, during some .A.ppendt"x.

portion of the time in a very disturbed state. He held the office until November, 1886, when he resigned and returned to England.

EXTRACTS FROM CAPE p APERS. [In Orange Free Rtate Papers]. "IAtest :from Thlotse heights, August 9, 1884. On the occasion of the opening · o:f a school :-Everything is tolerably quiet. l\Iajor-Genera.l Wolfe has arrived and taken charge of matters here. He has a very agreeable way of doing things here, and is very well liked by the inhabitants generally, whether European or native. He has a difficult position to fill, and has already had to decide some difficult questions. The major-general looked in two or three times, and by his cheerful, happy manner, contributed not a little to the day's enjoyment." " Latest from Thlotse heights. "Thlotse heights, Oct. 4, 1884.-General Wolfe is trying to collect the hut tax, and as far as I l-now he has some fraction of success, if only a small one. ,ve are fortunate in ha-ring General ,v olfe here. He continues to be well liked by every one who meets him. He has a very pleasant manner, and avoids taking any side in the disputes of the country, which no doubt helps him a great deal.'' [" Natal :Mercury."] "Thlotse, October 9, 1884.-0ur assistant resident commissioner here is, as yon probably l-now, ~Iajor-General Wolfe. He is always treated with respect. We all like the general very much ; even the non-paying tax party are respectful to him ; although they refuse to pay taxes, they are not rude about it." '' Notes from Basutoland. ,, Thlotse heights, July 23, 1885.-Rumour has it that the seat of magistracy is to be remo,ed from here a few miles distance, some awkwardness having been ex­ perienced with having Jonathan and General "\Volfe so close together. I have not heard of any clashing between General Wolfe and Jonathan; on the contrary, Gen. Wolfe is very popular, and as far as any magistrate can maintain the present anomalous position, I think he can claim to ha,e succeeded, but they seem to think it will be better for the dignity of the office to have it away from Jonathan and lessen the chance of complications when the camp is next attacked.'' '' Things from Basutoland. "Thlotse heights, Basutoland, August S, 1885.-There is a bright lining to every cloud, Mr. Editor, and there's one thing to be said about the present unsettled state of this unhappy country, and that is, that I think, perhaps, it is more owing to 'measures than men,' and I am quite sure all the inhabitants of Thlotse heights will agree with me in saying that in a descendant of the great General ,v olfe, of Uanadian fame, we are fortunate in having a lind-hearted and upright man in our midst, and there can be no doubt but that there would still be bright days in store for poor old Basutoland if such men had only just a little' more power to their elbow.'" [Same date.] " llajor-General Wolfe, at Thlotse heights, has been very successful in keeping order in his troublesome district, and it is, no doubt, owing to the just and impartial way in which he deals with both loyals and rebels that a great deal of the better feeling that formerly existed between these two so-called sections now live together in compantiYe friendship." '' Thlotse heights, June 17, 1886. "We must not forget our magistrate, General Wolfe, whose happy, friendly manner has done so much to smooth over rough places and soothe angrv feelings, and has done hi3 share in promoting the present pleasing state of affairs under very trying circumstances." "Basutoland, August 5, 1886. "We hear that our magistrate, General \Volie, is about to depart on leave of absence. We are sorry he is going, because the only peaceable time we have had eince the gun war has been during his magistracy. Before he came we were, as A.ppendi~. 79 every one knows, always in hot water, and now he is going more trouble seems im­ pending. We hope his successor may be as fortunate." "Basutoland, August 29, 1886. " 'M.ajor-General Wolfe has tendered his resignation, and will leave for England about the end of October. This gallant officer is much liked in the Leribe district, and very general regret is expressed at his intended departure, both by whites and natives. It must have been very annoying to an officer of his rank, who has seen service in India and China, to have for two years submitted to a milk-and-water policy, which in the end is sure to collapse.'' · · "Leribe, Basutoland, August 9, 1886.

He entered the army as ensign in the 59th regiment on 7 Feb., 1811, obtained his lieutenancy on 3 Dec., 1812; transferred to 98th regiment on 24: ~!arch, 1824, of which regiment he was adjutant from 1825 to 1833, obtaining his company on 10 Dec., 1833; brevet-major in the army and sub-inspector of militia of the Ionian islands on 9 November, 1846. He was appointed commandant of Robben island, Table bay, Cape Colony, in the year 1834, and magistrate of ,vynbcrg in 184:7 ; afterwards acting judge of police in 1854, during the absence of the Baron de Lorentz on leave. He served in the 59th at the taking of Palembang in Sumatra in 1813 ; of Bali, and also the fortified Kittore in Macassa.r in 1814 ; the Deccan campaign of 1817 and 1818·, and in the Kbandian war in 1818. The" Cape ~Ionitor" of 16 ::l!ay, 1855, said of him: "Major Wolfe, acting judge of police, died at his residence, Sunning hill, Wyn­ berg, on Sunday morning last. after a severe and painful illness, in his sixty-first year. He was exceedingly zealolls in carrying on the duties of his office, and per­ sisted in them long after it had become evident to himself that he was fast approach­ ing his gTd \·e. He exerted himself to the utmost to check the crime of drunkenness, which he regarded as the most dangerous Yice that came under his notice, and the last effort of his life was to rcfo1m the retail drinking system. He often remarked of late, whilst att;:nding to these duties, that he felt himself dying. He had suffered from disease of the heart many years, and it w~s frolll this he died. He was grea.tl7 Appendix. 81 respected in all the relations of life, and he has left a large family, who deeply a.n.d lincerely feel the loss they have sustained.''

One was dispossessed by Crom­ well, and settled in the county Clare. Others remained in possession of lands and titles to the present time. One of these, James :Mitchell of Fuerty, held a racing establishment at the Curragh. His son Isaac married a lliss Vine and settled at Cronnacoll, county ,vicklow. He had four sons-James, Thomas, William, and John. These were remarkable for their prowess and great popularity. They lived and passed through the stormy times of 1798 and 1803, and though loyal were much beloved by their fellow-countrymen. This was a trait in the family. It is well known that many Roman Catholic landowners during penal times trusted General Mitchell's familv with the nominal ownership of all they possessed. And in Ros­ common, the oid cradle of the race, no name was held in more esteem by the old families. The foregoing John liitchell, youngest son of James fbetterknownas Jack],bad three sons.

On the authority of his niece Anne,· daughter of Philpot Rogerson Wolfe, and wife of Thomas Swan Croker, it would appear that after the death of his wife, - Griffith, he connected himself with a person named Brabrow, daughter of a clothier of Faversham, but it was, as she stated, "not a right kind of marriage, in fact, not legal," and the family did not acknowledge them. She, however, with her children, of whom there were manv, emigrated to America, and is said to have claimed property there that belonged to their half-brother, Richard Straubenzie Wolfe, and to have succeeded in obtaining it. The marriage, doubtless, was contracted through the intervention of a Romish priest, which at that period was not acknowledged as legal, that is, between Pro­ testants and Romanists in Great Britain. This marriage may, however, have been considered legal in America, and thus enabled her to become possessed of the pro­ perty referred to. APPaYJ>IX No .. 64. RtCHAllD of Athy, co. Kildare, d. 1786. Was at the usual age apprenticed to Alderman Homby, an eminent merchant of the city of Dublin, a designation inju­ diciously made. He was not long apprenticed when he rwith the consent of his father] married Barbara, oue of the daughters of Colonel Charles Bucknall, deputy · ~jutant-general to the army in Ireland. He thereupon went to .the army, thon in 86

Flanden, and purchased a pair of colours, but was reduced at the peace of Ai%-1e­ Chapelle, and again purchased an ensigncy in the 48th regiment, which he after­ wards changed for a coronetcy in the 5th dragoons, in which regiment he continued to serve for many years. but never attained a higher rank than that of lieutenant. At length, weary of a profession in which he had not success, he retired from the service.in 1771. _He afterwards was appointed collector of the revenue of-the city of Kilkenny, where he died of a fever. His first wife died in the summer of 1761, and in 1762 he married a second, Jane llatthews, daughter of Joseph Matthews of Bonnetetown, in the -co. Kilkenny, esq. By his first wife he had many children, who all died young except two sons, Williams and Charles Buclmall, who both en­ tered early in life into the military servi_ce. Both served in the memorable .American war under the command of Sir William Howe. Williams was captain of light in­ fantry in the 40th regiment, and was killed on 20 Sept., 1777, in a night expedition under command of Sir Charles Grey. He was a brave, attentive, and an able officer, of whom very high expectations were entertained by the officers with whom he served ; and the writer [Lord K. J of this can testify from circumstances :known to him, and trying, that he was a man of honour and integrity ini.incible. His manners were conciliatory, his deportment modest. his person manly and beautiful. His short life ·was amiable, and his death glorious. Sir '\Villiam Howe, immediately on his death, sent for his brother, who had recently joined the army, and was the youngest ensign in it, and publicly presented him with a lieutenant•s commission, · declaring that he did so in testimony of his brother's merit. Charles Buel-nail W olfe returned to Europe after the peace, lieutenant in the 38th regiment, with a broken constitution, and died of consumption 27 October, 1790 [see Appendix No. 63]. WiJUams never was married.

In 1761 he connected himself with his mother's house­ maid, Esther Curran. In the year l ';62 he dismissed her, she being then with child. About 1i63 he renewed his connection with her. In 1779 he declared he was married to her, and stated that he had l,een cajoled to have a marriage cele­ brated between them by _a Popish priest, then illegal. He died of a fever. His children, some born before marriage and some after this marriage, were three daugbtP.rs and two sons-Jane, l\Iartha, John, William, and Hester. His will was dated 21 )fay, 1784~ and was proved 2i February, 1786. His portrait in oils is now at Forenaghts. The following is an abstract of his will : Bequeaths £900 to be put out at interest. upon good security, but without risk to themseh·es. upon trust to pay the interest thereof to his dear wife, Esther Wolfe, during her lifetime. and after her decease to pay the sum of £900 to and amongst his several children. Jane Wolfe, Martha Wolfe, John Wolle. William ~·oue, and Hester Wolfe, or such of them as shall be living at the time of his death, in equal shares. To Theobald Wolfe of Castle Warden his lease of T)art of the lands of Newlands. in tru~t. to surrender the same to brother Arthur Wolfe, Esq.• if he ·shall choose to accept a surrender thereof; it not. that and the residue and remainder of his estate to be sold, and the proceeds thereof. after paying ju~t debts and funeral o?xpenses. to be divided equally amongst his child::en. to be paid to them when 21, or when married, and if any die. survivors to share equally, and the interest of said portion for their maintenance. &c. Executors, George Garnet of Newport and Theobald Wolfe of Castle Warden. Witnesses, John Esmonde and David Leahy. Note.-Theobald ,volfe of Castle ,varden having died in 1771, his brother Arthur (afterward~ Lord Kilwarden] seems to have been made executor in lieu and ~n to the children. From the "lrent!eman's liagazine,'' vol. 88, part 2, p._ 646, obituary, 22 Dec., 1818, is extracted the following: . "In very obscure lodgings in Chelsea, of a complication of disorders occasioned by his hard sen·ice in America, Holland, ~pain, and the East Indies. Capt. Wolfe, a descP.ndant of the late Lord Kilwarden, who fell a victim in the Irish rebellion. The captain had contracted some eecentric habits, attributable principally to the severe loss he sustained in the death of bis lady, to whom he had been married but ei,x. months, and who was extremely beautiful an

aequent disappointment in his profession; but his habits, as far as his health would permit, were not· secluded. He mingled much in society, having but lately returned from Leamington, where he joined in all the fashionable gaiety of the place. His nephew, to whom his property devolves, is Mr. Lynch of the Theatre Royal, Crow street, w}lo has been engaged in the first provincial theatres in England.,. His will, dated 13 May, 1812, was proved by Thomas Lynch 22 May, 1819, and runs as follows : I, John Wolfe. of Chelsea. late a. captain in his Majesty's 1st Ceylon regiment, bequeath every­ thing of which I may die possessed to my nephew Thomas Lynch, and I appoint the said Thomas Lynch sole tru:stee and executor of this my will. I also request the said Thomas Lynch to have my l'emains buried in the same tomb as my dear wife at Dudley in Worcestershire. It is presumed that this Captain Wolfe was the eldest son of '' Fat Jack,•• as he was called, aa "Saunders' News-Letter" says he was a nephew of Lord Kilwarden. His military history is as follows: "John \Volfe, 5th foot, lieutenant 2nd Dec., 1795; captain 10 Dec., 1800; retired on half-pay 1802. On 27 April, 1803, be was appointed captain in a regiment of infantry, afterwards called the 1st Ceylon regi­ ment."

APPL""DIX No. 66. TKBoBALD WOLFE of Castle Warden, co. Kildare, d. 1771. Freeman city of Dublin 1756. He was bred to mercantile pursuits. His master, Mr. Alexander Ryves, -retiring from business before the expiration of his apprenticeship, he was set up in his business before he. attained his full age in 1755, a measure, as it now seems, not well considered. His understanding was not sharp, and his disposition ill-suited to trade, and hii defects were not cured by thrusting him thus· young and inexpe­ rienced into busines!. The necessary consequence was his failure, which happened in 1762. He felt too sensibly his disgrace, his health being impaired, and he died of a consumption. His marriage licence, dated 2-1 April, 1762, describes him as of The Coombe, merchant, and his wife as Anne W a.rd of St. Luke's.

APPENDIX No. 6 7.

ARTHUR WoLn, Lord Kilwarden. The following, taken from-" The Times," gives an account of the circumstances connected with Lord Kilwarden's death in 1803: '' Times,'' July 22.-" It is with inexpressible concern that we lay before the public the various circumstances of the horrid transactions in Dublin, which engage the attention, awaken the sensibility, and call forth the execration of evt,ry good and loyal subject of the United Kingdom.'' "Times,'' July 30.-" Information being sent to Major Sirr of some extraordi­ nary appearances in the Liberty district, he despatched a party of police, about seven o'clock on Saturday, for the purpose of taking up all suspected persons. The police accordingly proceeded to obey their orders, but being resisted in the execution of their duty, and finding a disposition to riot, which they were unable to quell, thev returned for assistance. Lord Kilwarden, who had been attending a privy council, bad a few hours before set out for his country sea.t at Newlands, tut was overtaken by an expre~s recalling him, and had reached Thomas street upon his return shortly after the party of police had retired. It is said to haYe been the intention of the rebels to have lain in wait until night, and then sally forth to storm the castle. to take the magazine in the Phc.enix park, carry the barracks by assault, and to pos~ess themselves of the artillery at Chapelizod. . "About a quarter before eight in the evening Lord Kilwarden's post-chaise had· reached the market house. In the carriage was Lord Kilwarden, hi:! daughter, ::\li~s .Wolfe, and his nephew, the Rev. Richard \Volfo. His lordship was soon recognised~ and just as the carriage came along the market house a mob rushed upon it in every direction. Some seized the horse~ and dmgged the postillion from his seat, w r.ile others rushed to each side of the carriage and opened the doors. Miss \Volfe sat 'between h~ father and cousin, who were dragg~ out by the inhuman fiencls froI!l 88 her aide, one from each door. In a state of distraction at the outrageo11B proceeding, and terrified by the horrid banditti, Mise Wolfe jumped out, and was received in the arms of one of them, who carried her through the crowd unhurt to an opposite house, where she remained secreted until four o'clock on Sunday m~rning, when she was conveyed to the Castle. ,Vhile some of these ferocious wretches were dragging Lord . Kilwarden and Mr. Wolfe out of the carriage others were employed in murdering them, and haYing effected their diabolical purpose they dragged the bodies down a dirty lane leading to the river. The bodies were not found until Sunday morning; they appeared to be stabbed in about twenty places by pikes and bayonets.'' "Times," July 29.-" Meanwhile liajor Swan, with a detachment, was ordered by the government to repair to Thomas street, the principal scene of the insurrec­ tion. A small party of the military had already skirmished there with the rebels, and a considerable number of the latter were killed and wounded. When the major arrived there he saw several lying dead in the street, and one man only with a pike, who was fired at. Lord Kilwarden had been carried to the watch-house in Vicar street, where )Iajor Swan saw him lying on the guard bed dreadfully lacerated. Bis lordship, although near expiring at the time, knew the maior, and appeared i,erfectly in his senses. He eagerly inquired as to the fate of his daughter1 and oeing assured by the major of her safety, he exclaimed, with an emotion of gratitude, " Thank God.'' A military gentleman present, naturally filled with indignation, oJ>served that every man taken with a pike in his hands ought to be instantly hanged, which Lord Kil warden overhearing, with tbat humanity which distinguished him through life, turned to l\Iajor Swan -and most impressively exhorted him to let no man be hanged without being brought to trial.'' "Times,'' July 30.-" On the day following (Sunday, 24 July] the bodies of Lord Kilwarden and his nephew were conveyed home in separate hearses from the watch-house of St. Catharine.'' "Times," August 2.-" The remains ·of the good and much-lamented Lord Kilwarden were privately interred on Tuesday evening [July 26]." . In a letter from Colonel John Wolfe to the Speaker of the Irish parliament [Foster], dated Newry, 8 July, 1809, he writes of Lord Kilwarden: " Because he had discharged his public duties with firmness and impartiality in cases where the associates and connections of murderers had fallen, insomuch that after he had been first wounded, and lay or sat on the ground with his head bare, a monster still more bloody than the rest called to the surrounding bloodhounds to give him room that he might avenge the death of his brother-in-law (who had been tried before Lord Kilwarden and executed for treason], and taking a pike in both his hands gave him a dreadful blow upon the head, crying out to the chief justice of Ireland, then prostrate in the dust, imploring mercy at the hands of his assassins, •You shall have that mercy you showed my brother-in-law.'"

APPENDIX No. 77. HENRIETTA ELIZABETH B.u.L, dau. of Henry lioreland Ball, Esq., of Kersiebank house, co. Stirling, and of Tipperke¥in, co. Kildare, and wife of Theobald George Samuel " ... olfe of Forenaghts, who died 1872. The following is the history, &c., o:f her family, as extracted from "Records of the Anglo-Irish Families of Ball,'' by the Rev. \V. Ball Wright, ~I.A. The first mention in any Irish historical document of the name of Ball is that of Radulphus Balle de Fornaice [Lancashire c. 1190] in the .Anglo-Norman roll of Dublin citizens, probably of the 12th century. In the time of Edward I., 1278, there appears to ha¥e been the name of Hugh Ball, in 1290 of Stephen Balle, in 1291 of \V" tlliam Balle ; on the back of a patent roll of the first year of Henry IV., of Roger Ball; in the :fourth year of Henry IV., of John Balle and Richard Ball, the latter styled chaplain; in the third year of Henry VI., of Thomas Ball, mer­ chant; in 1398 \Villiam Ball was bailiff of Drogheda, and Robert Ball in 1412. About 1500 they appear to have resided at Stephenstown, near Drogheda. • In 1501 it is recorded that John Ball erected the market cress at Drogheda, at~ own ex­ pense. In the records of Christ church, Dublin, \Vm. Ball appears as canon in 1514, and Richard Ball sub-prior in 1539. ....-\. Richard Ball of BallyschaDenmark and Germany.

THE FA.~Y op BALL OF ST. At"Do~'s PARisH, Dt;BLIN, BALLYGALL, AND BALLSGROVE. rfhis family, which was a prominent one in Dublin from the reformation to the revolution of 1688, is the first whose pedigree can be clearly traced. For the details of this pedigree we are indebted to the pedigree of Ball in the :fourteenth volume of IDster Office Pedigrees. and to the ul~ters Visitations of the City of Dublin, also to the chancery inquisitions and wills in the Irish record oflice. These ha\·e been supplemented by searches in the Deeds office, and in St~arne's lISS. in the library of Trin. Coll., Dublin. The parish records of St. Audoen's, St. J\Iary's, St. Peter's, St. Thomas's, Dublin, and of St. l\Iary's and St. Peter's, Drogheda, and of Finglas, have also been diligently examined, and the journals of the Irish commons. From these we learn that Thomas Ball of Stevenstown, in the parish of Balrothery, co. Dublin, gent, married, about the beginning of the sixteenth century, :Margaret, dau. of ~ichola.s Berming­ ham, of the co. of ~Icath, gentleman ; by her he ha.d issue, with others : Bartholomew, aldennan of Dublin, sheriff 1543, mayor 1544, m.

APPENDIX No. 78.

THEOBALD GEORGE SA.lWEL d. 1872. Eldest son of }Iajor James Wolfe. He a. to the Forenaghts and other estates on the death of Lady Charlotte Wolfe, in 18i0. According to the public papers, " A large concourse of gentlemen assembled to pay & last tribute to the memory of one who was always a kind and genial friend, a genE:rous landlord, a worthy agent, and a public benefactor; and in whatever light we regard the loss to society in Kildare caused by his death, we can scarcely expect to see him excelled in any of those excellent qualities for which he was so remark­ able. The immediate cause of death was acute inflammation of the lungs, accelerated by diabetes, from which he had been sutfering for over sh: years. The funeral leR Forenaghts shortly after eleven o'clock for Ballymore Eustace churchyard. It would be impossible to give a full fuit of those who either formed the immense cortege, or whose carriages were sent, and it is therefore sufficient to say that almost every family of note in the county was represented. The funeral service was read by the ReY. James Sullivan, rector of Ballymore Eustace, and the Rev. l!aurice T. de Burgh, vicar of Naas. The Rev. :Maurice T. de Burgh addressed the assembly, saying, 'Before we close this solemn service, and leave the grave of our brother, I would say a few words in tribute to his memory. Seldom do we render the last token of respect to one so honoured, valued, and loved. This vast concourse which I see around me is not gathered to show deference to rank or wealth ;-it is simply through regard to what he, who lies in this grave, was in himself, that you are here assembled: because he endeared himself to you by his character and influence. I am sure I speak the feeling of your hearts when I say that you come here to-day to mourn for a good friend and a true. Ever active, diligent, useful, he lived as one who felt that all he had-his powers of mind and body, his means, his influence -were but trusts committed to him by the Heavenly ]!aster: talents to be turned to account to His sen-ice and for the benefit of his fellow-men. His unwearied labours were not pursued for himself, for his own gain, his o\'\-n advancement. He was always working for others-how to promote their interests, to help their 103 struggles, to relieve their sufferings, to comfort· their sorrows. His was the ready ear to every tale of woe, the feeling heart, the open hand. He had a, real pleasure in doing good. " When the ear heard him, then it blessed him; and when the eye saw him, it gave witness unto him,." Truly, I know of no man who more con­ stantly remembered the word of the Lord Jesus: "It is more blessed to give than to receive." You, too, whom I address, know well how he ever sought to promote love and peace among his neighbours. He was always ready, by his wise and loving counsel, to allay contention and banish strife. On him rested the benediction, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God." ....\nd he was a humble Christian, whose only trust was in his Saviour's merits, who leaned only on the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the world. We have com­ mitted his body to the ground, in good hope that his soul is with the Saviour whom he trusted, and that, when the archangel's trumpet shall stir the silent dust that sleeps in the graves around us, he will rise to the life immortal. You may not have his gifts, you may not have his means, but each one here can follow his steps. No matter how poor your circumstances, how limited the circle in which you move, you can imitate his kindness, his readiness to serve his fellow.men. I pray that we may so live, that it may be said of us, when we are gone, "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, even so saith the Spirit, for they rest from their labours." ' ''

APPBNDIX No. 79. RICHARD WoLFE d. 1885. Killed at the battle of Abu Klea, Bayuda Dessert, Soudan, Upper Egypt. The following extracts have been taken from the public papers. From the'' Kildare Observer" of 24 January, 1885 :-" ,ve regret to an­ nounce the death of Lieutenant Wolfe, of the Scots Greys, which sad event occurred in the Soudan, in an engagement between the English forces, under General Stewart, and those of the Mahdi. Lieut. Richard ,volfe was first on the list of lieutenants in the 2nd Dragoons or Royal Scots Greys. He bad seven years' service, having entered the army as second lieutenant in 1878, and he was made lieutenant the year afterwards. Lieutenant Wolfe was the eldest son of the late llr. \Volfe of Fore• naghts and Bishopsland, who had the reputation of being a kind and humane land­ lord, and a most generous benefactor to the poor. Lieut. \Volfe inherited many of his father's estimable qualities, and would, no doubt. in time have enjoyed a corre­ sponding measure of popularity. He was a brave and accomplished offieer, and devoted to all manly sports. The intelligence of his death has created throughout the entire district a widespread feeling of sorrow among all classes of people, and on Thursday morning the bell of St. David's church was tolled in his memory.'' The " Irish Times" of same date says of him :-" Lieut. \Volfe of the Scots Gre,·s, who owned extensive property in Kildare, was greatly liked. .A. splendid young fellow, with magnificent physique, indomitable courage, and of a kindly and gene­ rous disposition, his untimely fate is sincerely deplored by those with whom he was associated during his r~idencc in Dublin.'' The "Army and Navy Gazette" says that " the young subaltern of the Scots Greys was the head of an old Irish :family which ·counts among its members Major-General James \Volfe, the illustrious hero of Quebec, and, in later times, the Reverend C. \Volfe, to whom we are indebted for the imperishable lines on the death of Sir John :l\!oore at Corunna. Lieut. Wolfe was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and took high honors there prior to joining the army.'' "The \Vorld" says:-'' Kildare loses in poor Richard \Volfe one of her most gallant sons, who, though a landlord of many acres, "·as very popular with all classes, as was his father before him. He might have posed as the ideal Irish dragoon, one of the hardest riders to foxhounds and staghounds, and one of the best polo players in the service.". "Vanity i'a.ir" say_s of him:-'' r1:~c death of Lie~t. W oUe, of the ~cots Greys, :l-ille
