Richard Tonson


Sale in 1729 of lands by Lord Burlington, Jeremh/Jeremiah Coughlan (From Carrigmanus Agent) to Richard Tonson for £3,882, including, One Ploughland Town and Lands of Shannyvoghwora Ballydehob, 422 English acres, 3 Ploughlands Carrigerinat Coghanicue Coghlianullean East Carbery 1, 697 English acres, Coolmountain 1,139 English acres, 4 Gneeves Shanaciane, the Unpropriate Tithes of 14 Ploughlands of Durrus , Kilcrohane and Kikmocomoge (Bantry), Callesita alias Callesta 374 English acres, Carrigneal 1 and a half Ploughland 894 English acres and 1830s Tithe Aplottments of Tithes for Evansons of Durrus

Some of the townland names are difficult to make out and are old spellings.

The sale included town of Balldehob, Coolmountain and the tithes of 14 ploughlands of Durrus, Kilcrohane Kilmocoge among others for £3,882. In the tithe aplottments of 1830 the Evansons are listed as owners of the tithes with the local Minister.
Burlington is the successor in title to the Richard Boyle, Earl of Cork, he probably acquired some of the Mizen lands by mortgage from the O’Mahonys.

Tonson is a descendant on the illegitimate line of Sir Richard Hull of Lemcon.

Jeremiah/Jeremy Coughlan is an Attorney Seneschal of Dungarvan agent to the Earl of Cork/Burlingtons and from Carrigmanus his wife is Susanna Evanson from Coolnalong, Durrus. He and her brother Nathaniel Evanson were leasing Gearhameen and other townlands in Durrus from the Bernards of Bandon in the 1720s. The Coughlan line is probably related to Frances Coughlan who married Thomas Dukelow c 1810 and then moved from Crottees to Clashadoo.

Justices of the Peace, Co. Cork, 1664-1800, from Lord Chancellor’s Warrants in the Crown and Hanaper’s Office pre 1870.

This was first collected by AJ Fetherstonhaugh and after his death completed by H F Berry. The office of the Hanaper was abolished in the Judicial Refors c 1870.

From 1897 JCHAS.

Looking at the name profile from 1661 to 1686 the names are Planter from then to 1690 the old Cork Merchant family names Norman, Danish and Gaelic appear. From 1690 the names are Protestant mainly Planter the odd Huguenot but with a smattering of Norman and Gaelic who conformed to the Church of Ireland.

Will of Joseph Austin 21st May 1768, Cork, son John in Amherst, Nova Scotia and son-in-law James Brown, Halifax and Cork Canadian links

The Austins were prominent merchants, lawyers and landowners in Cork.

This is from the Welply collection of wills he transcribed before they were destroyed in 1922.

They show the extent of movement between Cork and the Maritime provinces of Canada around 1750. Later Canada was attractive for emigration being shorter then the USA which also then levied a poll tax on entry.

The witness William Callanan may be from the family of Doctors and Apothecaries of Mallow Lane (present Shandon Street).

Genealogy of Limrick family of Schull, West Cork from 1720 with their relations Benjamin Sullivan, (O’Sullivan Mór), Cork, Lawyers, East India Men, MPs

Benjamin Sullivan, East India Men, H L Denny, O'Sullivan Mór


Justices of the Peace, Co. Cork

Rev. Paul Lymerick, 22nd October 1729.

Revised: Genealogy of Limrick family of Schull, West Cork from 1720 with their relations Benjamin Sullivan, (O’Sullivan Mór), Cork, Lawyers, East India Men, MPs

Paul Limrick, attorney, Cork, Pembroke St., 1840s was a younger brother of John Limrick Justice of the Peace of Union Hall and Schull (sons of Col. Wm. Somerville Limrick) and also brother of Dr William. Limrick of Union Hall. John Limrick JP, magistrate, crops up often in newspaper reports, esp. in relation to the great famine but also in his confrontation with O’Donovan Rossa in 1863 in Union Hall.

It is believed that the Limericks of Goleen were descendants of Robert Limrick – the son of Rev Paul Limrick of Schull – who married a Catholic and obviously forfeited any inheritance from the family (and was thus poor). The Limericks of Goleen and Schull have now disappeared from the Mizen peninsula – some went to South Wales while others emigrated to Boston in the United States.

With reference to Denny’s history and Col. William Somerville, it is interesting that Denny, a professed genealogist, chooses to ignore any illegitimate descendants, so provides comparatively little information about him other than “Col. … in the Hon. East India Co.’s Military Service, who bought a valuable estate at Union Hall, Co. Cork, and died there, unmarried, 14th August, 1831”

Denny was probably more interested in demonstrating his own family connections to the aristocracy such as the O’Sullivans.

Research by Brian Limrick shows that Colonel Limrick actually had 8 children all born in Cork after his return from India (now aged 50ish), including William, John and Paul plus another son, Thomas Hingston Limrick, and four daughters. Margaret English was mother to John (and was probably mother to all the others but no proof).

The Limrick surname is probably English from Gloucestershire where among others Thomas Limrick was MP for Gloucester in 1482. A close relative, William Lymryk of Brimpsfield in Glos. was yet another clergyman who was appointed a Canon at the Abbey of St Thomas the Martyr in Dublin at the end of the 15th C. At that time the post of canon was a post almost exclusively filled by Englishmen!

Thanks Pat, very interesting. However, the James who was a Magistrate in 1795 I believe was a great grand son of James. He did have a son also James. However, according to a pedigree lodged in National Library, he was born in 1699. A deed dated 1779 mentions James the younger (decd) one of the sons of James. Another son Matthew who married Lucy O’Grady in 1727 also had a son James who died young. Matthew & Lucy also had a son John and a deed dated 1792 mentions a wife Frances and 10 sons, the eldest John who may be Captain of North Cork Militia and James who may have been a magistrate in the 1790s https://www.familysearch.org/…/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-Q9SR-W…https://www.familysearch.org/…/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJ4-4RLR…
