The Barringtons of Limerick by Dom Hubert Janssens De Varebeke he Barrington family claims descent from Odo du Barentin, who came over from Normandy with William toe Conqueror. That explains howT their motto is worded in Old French: Ung durant ma Vie - which sounds like a reminder of the troubadours. Barentin is still the name of a place in Normandy, between Rouen and Le Havre. One of the oldest Renaissance castles in England is called Barrington Court, in Somerset. It was built by Lord Daubeny c. 1520 (James Lees-Milne Tudor Renaissance, Batsford, 1951). This Tudor mansion is now the property of the National Trust. Barrington is mentioned in the Papal Registers as a place-name in Somerset as far back as A.D. 1400. The fifteenth in descent from Odo was Sir Francis Barrington, of Barrington Hall, Essex, who was created a baronet in 1611. This title became extinct on the death of the tenth baronet in 1833.

There are still descendants of that Canter family there, near Barrington's Bridge. The son of Matthew and Jane, Joseph, married in 1787 Mary Baggott, a Limerick Catholic, whose parents owned a bootshop. He was living first in Broad Street, the fashionable thoroughfare of the day; but by 1797 he had moved to Charlotte Quay, where he took over a pewterer's shop under the sign of the Copper Globes - where he advertised that 'stills, worms, boilers, etc., were manufactured at the shortest notice' (R. Herbert, Journ. N. Munsfer Antiq. 1941, p. 159). It was Joseph who built, in 1830, Barrington's Quay, on the northern side of the Shannon, a good mile west of the present Sarsfield Bridge. It is said that Barrington's' Pier had already been built on that spot by Benjamin. The opening of the big bridge in the eighteen-twenties started the development of this area as a suburb. lnglis wrote in 1834 in his Journey through Ireland: 'Some extensive embankments are now in course of being constructed below Limerick, with the view of reclaiming land The memorial to Samuel Barrington at St Mary's Cathedral, Limerick. ... the others are undertaken by Lord Lansdowne and by Mr. Barrington'.

    2 Biography of Sir William St. John, Knight (1561-1638) The St. John Genealogy Biography of Sir William St. John, Knight Living about 1561-1638 BY Suzanne St. John, A St. John Family Researcher THE ST. JOHN GENEALOGY & DNA PROJECT 2021 Citation: St. John, Suzanne. Biography of Sir William St. John, Knight (1561-1638), 2021, p. 2 3 Biography of Sir William St. John, Knight (1561-1638) SIR WILLIAM ST. JOHN, KNIGHT AND ELEANOR DE PORT-ST. JOHN Another marriage of St. John & de Port families Overview Sir William St. John, Knight was one of the most interesting persons I researched for this work. He seemed to be a very innovative and outgoing person with a lot of energy and ambition to have accomplished all he appears to have been involved in. At his core, he seems to be historically a real, gold-searching pirate, albeit a legal one (barely) and most of his notable documented activities related to his pursuit for gold. William was a privateer (basically a legal pirate1), a businessman involved in gold, clothing, shipping, importing and exporting, and asset recovery for the English Royal Navy and his personal interests. He associated with great men of power including the King of England, Sir Arthur Chichester, Sir Walter Raleigh, Oliver Cromwell, Phineas Pett, the Earl of Nottingham and others. He is briefly mentioned in matters concerning many historically significant events where his contribution is often overshadowed by these better-known names. He was involved in the early trade routes with Africa, Portugal, the Dutch and Colonial America and probably other adventures yet to be uncovered.

  • INTRODUCTION Much Has Been Made of the Fluctuating Fortunes Of
    INTRODUCTION Much has been made of the fluctuating fortunes of gentry families in the sixteenth century.1 Some would say too much, since the gentry as a class is recognisable but not clearly definable. Amid the flurry of speculation about the factors which might be responsible, geographi- cal location was by all accounts important, so that the Barringtons, who were undoubted gentry, were lucky to find themselves firmly rooted in south-east England. But that was an ancient piece of luck; when Robert, Lord Rich supported Sir Francis Barrington in the parliamentary election of 1604 he wrote of 'the aunciente name of Barrington ... whose auncestors I canne averre to be knightes before Englishe was in England, or anie name of knightes that I knowe were in the countrye, that nowe make greate shew and are newe comers in amonge us .. .'2 The Barrington ancestry can indeed be traced back before the conquest. Then, from at least the time of Henry I, they held the hereditary office of woodward or forester of Hatfield Forest and lived at Barrington Hall, on the edge of the forest in the north of the parish of Hatfield Broad Oak in north west Essex.3 A later stroke of fortune—and though few details are known, 'luck' can hardly be the right term this time—was the marriage between Thomas Barrington and Winifred Hastings in 1559.4 By this one alliance wealth and status were secured to nourish the ancient gentry of the Barringtons. Winifred, the widow of Sir Thomas Hastings, was born Winifred Pole, one of the two daughters and co-heiresses of Henry Pole, Lord Montagu; therefore, as well as the niece of Cardinal Pole, she was the granddaughter of Margaret Plantagenet, Countess of Salisbury, and the great-granddaughter of George, Duke of Clar- ence, brother of Edward IV.

By European standards this was a belated innovation; the Spanish, Dutch and French had developed effective methods of debt service around a century earlier, based upon high tax revenues and borrowing. This study will explore the reasons why the English lagged behind their rivals in developing a fiscal state. England was not a poor country, and the reasons for its low tax base and poor creditworthiness were largely political. However, political historians, accustomed to analysing texts, rarely appreciate the significance of figures.
