LIMITED. PREFATORY NOTE. iiST'T'jf.O An attempt has been made in the following pages to put on record what can be discovered concerning the descendants of two Irish families which became allied in 1737 by the marriage of the Rev. Andrew Nixon with Mariaime French. The various families detailed on pp. 83-127, are descended from that marriage. The PubHc Record Office contains evidence of the existence of many other persons of the names of French and Nixon, who, from the localities in which they lived, were very probably of the same stock, but as no proof of their relationship has been forthcoming, as a rule they have not been mentioned in the book. It has been found necessary to condense the work as much as possible, and to leave out some biographical details which might have been inserted. I have tried in most instances to give chiefly those which come from unfamiliar sources. The evidence for the earlier generations in the 17th and 18th centuries is in almost every case clear and complete. In the very few instances where the exact connection of certain persons with the family has not been discovered, due mention has been made of the fact. For the details regarding the later generations I have to thank a host of correspondents. In some cases information could not be obtained. I have to acknowledge assistance derived from the genealogical works of Foster and Burke. It would be quite impossible to name all those who have helped me, but my thanks are specially due to Mrs. Blake, Mrs. Izod, Mrs. Oakes, Mrs. J. H. Pigot, Mrs. F. J. B. Priestley, Miss Saxby, Mrs. H. B. Stanford, Mr. G. D. Burtchaell, Dr. Crone, Major Crookshank, Dr. F. C. Crossle, Mr. P. Crossle, Major Gore Little, Mr. E. Higinbotham, Lieut. -Colonel G. H. Johnston, Mr. W. T. Kyle, Mr. 0. F. D. Nixon, Mr. W. Jackson Pigott, Mr. Henry F. Reynolds, Capt. Spedding, the Rev. W. B. Stanford, and Mr. Erskine West for information constantly and freely given. Some further assistance is acknowledged in the foot-notes. I am also indebted to Mrs. F. R. Carter, Mrs. Walton, Mr. T. Cosby Burrowes, and Mr. G. F. Mackarness for lending me printed histories of their families ; to Mr. Conway Dighton for kindly writing the account of his ancestor, Archdeacon Benning, in Appendix XL, to Major-General John Eccles Nixon, C.B., for numerous family notes, IV aud for liberal support ; to Sir Arthur Vicars, K.C.V.O., Ulster Bang of Arms, for permittiug me to inspect documents in his office ; to the officials in the Public Record Office, Trinity College Library, the National Library, and the Registry of Deeds for their unvarying courtesy ; to Miss Erskine, Miss Priestley, Miss Reynolds, Mrs. Swanzy (of Newry), Mr. J.

Mathew French, Senior. Early in the seventeenth century, Richard French, merchant, lived at Belturbet, Co. Cavan. His connection with the old family of the name in the West of Ireland is not clear, though the name Mathew which he gave to one of his sons, also appears in the families of French of Galway, and French of Cork.* Berry, in his Encydopoedia Heralika, states that the following arms were granted in Ireland to the family of French of Belturbet, " 26 July, 1682 : Per bend sinister, engrailed, or and sable, a lion rampant between two fleur-de-lis counter-charged. Crest a fleur-de-lis, or, : charged with a trefoil vert." No trace of this grant remains now in Ulster's Office, and Mathew French, in 1688, sealed his will with the arms of French of Galway. While living at Belturbet and acquiring position and property in Co. Cavan, the family carried on the hardware business in High Street, Dublin, for about a century, and it will be seen later (p. 17) that Mathew French, junior, suppUed the powder and ball used in the defence of Derry and Enniskillen during the Revolution. RICHARD FRENCH, of Belturbet, married twice. By his first wife he had a son : I. Robert French a legatee of his father in 1637, probably the Robert French who was living at Newtown, in the parish of Drumully, Co. Fermanagh during the rebellion of 1641. In his deposition, sworn 12 March, 1641/2, Randall Adams and WiUiam Hitchcocke, witnesses, (Cromwelhan Depositions, Co. Ferm., p. 46 6., T.C.D. Library) he stated Matthew French, gent., obtained, under the Act of Settlement, 4,242 acres m Co. Galway, and 970 acres in Co. Mayo, grant enrolled 16 April, 1667 ^^^^ since, at CUfthole in the Co. of " /D f, ^J""^ Galway, Mr. Matthew French (Public Gazetteer, 29 Oct., 1765). French, i^E^^^T born at Kinsale, Co. Cork, was Scholar T.C.D. 1695 B 4 1698 Fellow 1699, MA 1701, B.D. 1710. He was Reader or Curate of St. Werburgh s, Dublin, 1705-14, while holding his fellowship, and on 31 March presented 1711, 27 students of the CoUege to be confirmed by Archbishop King in St Patrick's Cathedral. He d. 12 March. 1714. Matthew French, and Jane, his wife, otherwise Badham. occur frequently *^e Chancery and Exchequer Bills 1l in connection with Co. Cork, at the end of the 17th century. Matthew French was appointed J.P. Co. Cork, 4 May, 1697. — — —— 2 that about 24 October, 1641 he was robbed of his goods. He and his wife were despoiled of all their possessons, and had to fly to Dublin.

  • Contextual and Historical the Irish for Belturbet: Béal Tairbirt, Meaning "Mouth of the Tairbert’’
    Belturbet Public Art Commission: Contextual and Historical The Irish for Belturbet: Béal Tairbirt, meaning "mouth of the Tairbert’’. It is located on the River Erne, which is linked to the Shannon-Erne Waterway and the River Shannon The Shannon is the longest river in Ireland. The Erne is also connected to the Black Pig’s Dyke. The Erne has long been the main source of commerce for the town. It once contained three ports and was linked to Belfast via the Ulster Canal. It contains many exesting features and connections that are historic record. Today the river and the town of Belturbet is predominantly a tourist destination. The original steering wheel off the Steamship Belturbet is displayed in the main reception area in the Belturbet Railway Centre as a memento to the steamships that sailed the Erne in the 1800s’. The wheel also commerates the connection with the railways. The various vessels carried goods and passengers on a regular service between Belturbet and Enniskillen. On occasions excursions were operated in conjunction with the G.N.R. Railway. Special excursion trains operated from Amian St. Station in Dublin to Belturbet where passengers boarded the steamship at the Quay, downstream of Killconny Bridge. The rope wear marks can still be seen on the bollards. When the Anglo-Normans tried to conquer Cavan in the early 13th century, Walter de Lacy built a motte-and-bailey on Turbet Island, which is situated upstream of Killconny Bridge. The Fort was probably made of wood and it has not survived. However the steep mound of earth where it was built is well preserved.

Wexford, approximately 7.5km northeast of New Ross and 12km southeast of Graiguenamanagh, and can be described as comprising two constituent parts in that the proposed development relates to the carrying out of works at two locations as follows: Ballywilliam Bridge: 1.2.1. This area comprises the westernmost extent of the wider site and encompasses the Ballywilliam bridge crossing of the R731 Regional Road over the Aughnacrew River in addition to part of the river itself, the river bank, and a section of the public road. It also extends southwest to include a small field alongside the regional road that will be used as a site compound during the construction works. Although this field is presently undeveloped and may have previously been used for agricultural purposes, it was noted during the course of a site inspection that a significant number of disused / empty chemical storage tanks had been placed within the north- eastern corner of the field immediately alongside the river bank seemingly for makeshift storage purposes.

  • Charting a Future with Confidence Moving on with Confidence
    Charting a Future with Confidence Moving on with Confidence Foreword As a young person nurtured in faith, and growing up in these United Dioceses of Cork, Cloyne and Ross I, and many others, used to canoe on the Owenabue River, from Drake’s Pool to Crosshaven or Currabinny. We were brought up all those years ago on the folklore that Sir Francis Drake, the great Elizabethan sea captain, had, allegedly, sailed up that river to evade the Spanish Armada, and had hidden at the point in the river that now bears his name. It was he who, in 1587, when Bishop William Lyon was the first Reformation Bishop of the Diocese, wrote to Queen Elizabeth I’s Private Secretary, Sir Francis Walsingham, and said: There must be a beginning of any great matter, but the continuing until it be thoroughly finished yields the true glory. All these centuries on, these words are true of many enterprises, and for us now here, in relation to Charting a Future with Confidence. When the idea was put forward it was always clear that it would not be an instant recipe or a magic wand, but rather, that it is a process. This report, completed after consultation, prayerful reflection, research and discussion, is now presented to you at this stage of this continuing process. The call to each of you in the Diocese is to engage with it now and to move forward with the process of charting, under God, a confident future here. We need everyone to do this in equal measure. Already new phases of this strategy are under way.
