    The Irish Catholic Episcopal Corps, 1657 – 1829: a Prosopographical Analysis

    THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system.

It was probably taken in the last few years. The lodge itself is located across the road from a small cemetery that is marked by a cross on the 1876 map of Truxton below. The road running north and south, passing by the front of the lodge and extending left and right through the center of the picture, is the North Road. Following this road, also known as Route 91, to the right leads into the village of Truxton about 2 miles south of this location. The significance of this location is that the McGraws and many of their friends and relatives lived in this immediate area. Michael McGraw’s farm on the North Road was located one mile south and across the road from his farm was the John Casey farm. The region out in the flat area over the silo to the left was where John McGraw, Michael’s brother, was living in 1883. His neighbor moving south was Patrick Comerford, brother of his wife Ellen Comerford McGraw.

For some, refuge was temporary, while awaiting political developments and toleration in the home country.

    LYNCH RECORD CONTAINING BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF MEN OF THE NAME, LYNCH 16th TO 20th CENTURY TOGETHER WITH INFORMATION REGARD­ ING THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME AND TOPOGRAPHICAL POEMS SHOWING THE TERRITORIES POSSESSED BY SOME BRANCHES OF THE LYNCH FAMILY Compiled by ELIZABETH C. LYNCH WILLIAM J. HIRTEN Co., !Ne. 25 Barclay St., New York N. Y. Copyright, 1925 by William J. Hirten Co. Inc. FOREWORD One of the strange facts about Irish History is that the pedigrees of almost every well known Irish name is absolutely established from the early centuries of the Christian era to the Sixteenth or Seventeenth Cen­ tury. Long before many European countries, emerged from barbarism, the old Irish Clans kept their pedi­ grees with an exactitude and completeness that neces­ sarily establishes their correctness since they are i11.t~r:­ woven by thousands of alliances. But, pedigrees ~;re not merely kept as a matter of pride; a far more sub­ stantial reason was that succession was determined by relationship and any member of the Clan had a right to succeed to the headship of the Clan on proof of kinship. For several hundred years after the Norman-French secured a foothold in Ireland, by a species of infil­ tration; these pedigrees were maintained. Henry VIII inaugurated a new policy. That monarch designed to break the continuity of the Irish race either by ab­ sorption or destruction of the Clans. This policy succeeded to such an extent that continuity of Irish pedigrees became broken. with few exceptions. Today there are many descendants of these old Irish Clans in America.
