The disease inspired particular dread in Ireland where smallpox and its ugly sisters, cholera, typhoid and dysentery made themselves at home for hundreds of years and exploited extreme poverty and ignorance to devastating effect. The symptoms of the disease were high fever, headache, pain in the back and muscles. Children might also experience vomiting and convulsions.

If you didn’t die of smallpox in 18^th and 19^th century Ireland you probably went blind. The next time you hear the music of the great harpist Turlough O’Carolan from Nobber in County Meath think of smallpox. It blinded him at the age of eighteen in 1688 making him virtually useless for any occupation until he developed a talent as a harpist and a facility for musical composition. Many other itinerant harpists had been similarly afflicted.

The disease, which was highly contagious and infectious, is believed to have caused about one fifth of all deaths in the city of Dublin between 1661 and 1746. About a third of all child deaths were probably caused by smallpox. Although it mainly afflicted the poor it was no respecter of rank. The children of the rich could die of the disease just as quickly as those closer to the breadline.

Hope emerged towards the beginning of the 18^th century when the efficacy of inoculation started to become apparent. Inoculating people with small doses of the virus had apparently been practiced in China since the 10^th century but didn’t really begin to make inroads in Europe for almost another eight hundred years. In Ireland the technique was first tried on a number of, presumably unwilling, prisoners in Cork Jail in 1721. Four years later the experiment was extended to five children in Dublin.

As the effectiveness became clear the better off began to use inoculation to protect themselves and their children.  During periodic epidemics in the mid to late 18^th centuries the survival rate among the wealthy families who had engaged in the practice encouraged its more widespread use. The South Infirmary in Cork even initiated a programme to inoculate the poor.

Naturally where there was money to be made there were charlatans. Travelling inoculators with a very basic grasp, if any, of what they were doing, competed for trade. In Donegal in 1781 all but one child of a group of fifty-two died when one unqualified practitioner purported to inoculate them.

Whatever inroads were being made in Ireland against the disease came to virtually nothing with the onset of the Great Famine of the 1840s when smallpox returned with a grim vengeance. Even for sufferers who survived the recovery period of the disease ensured that many were pauperised and died anyway with breadwinners unable to work.

It was only from the 1880s onwards that the disease began to be more rapidly eradicated in Ireland. In the 1870s more than seven and a half thousand people died of smallpox. By the first decade of the 20^th century that figure was down to sixty-five. Between 1901 and 1910 almost a million Irish people were vaccinated against the disease.

The Hutchinson family were c 1700 extensive landowners in the greater Bantry area. The house at Blackrock is the nucleus of the present Bantry House. Their immediate Bantry estate was acquired over a period by Richard White in the early 18th century and was the basis for the Bantry/White Estate. They were left with residual townlands in the Durrus/Bantry area.

Nowadays there is virtually no local knowledge of the families existence.However given that there were large families there are probably many in Ireland and worldwide who may be able to trace their descent to the Hutchinsons.

The family is not to be confused with the Hutchins who are in various locations around Bantry Bay. Sometimes both families appear in deeds but they are not related.

The drop in fortunes seems to have commenced with the disposal of Richard White and culminated with the seal of the estate with large debts in the encumbered  Estates Court in 1854. The sale was described as resulting in the death of Arthur Hutchinson with no known heirs. This is not true. His brother William was living in Bantry and was involved some time later in an altercation with Captain O’Flaherty, the owner  of the mining lease of former family lands.

As late as 1804 when Hugh Hutchinson made his will he appeared to have £7,000 to leave to his extensive family.   There were minerals discovered at various locations on the estate and while great hope was projected the mines came to nothing.

The first Ordnance Survey Map shows Clonee, Durrus an area associated with the family. Various wooded areas show it is possible that part of the planting was done in contemplation on the building of a house.

It is likely in the 18th century that the family had a substantial house and building after Blackrock was sold to the Whites but location unknown.  Perhaps when some of the 8 million Land Commission records stored in a warehouse see the light of day the picture may become clearer.

Enclosed below are extracts from various deeds, many of which have been transcribed by Ron Price.

Registry of Deeds Project, search by surname:

Interestingly here Keady O’Donovan is described as Gent., with various addresses. It is possibly that the Richard O’Donovan who died in 1795 at Pilchard Point, Bantry is his father.

Keady O’Donovan, Gent.

Other addresses are Rosnacaheragh the home of Richard O’Donovan, who build the house a O’Donovan Cove and whose three sons Timothy, Richard and Doctor Daniel were all landlords and magistrates. It is possibly they were cousins of Keady. They look like they have a common place of origins at Ballaghadown, Caheragh/Drimoleague. Perhaps earlier around Clonakilty.

Extended O’Donovan family:

That O’Donovan family was sufficiently affluent to enable Richard to attend the University of Toulouse in France in the 1750s. Later Daniel O’Donovan in about 1820 qualified as a physician in Edinburgh.

The Skuce family of Coosane, Ballydehob, emigrated to Canada in 1850, and settled in Mount Horeb, near Omemee, Ontario, Canada, they took apple seeds with them, so they could plant them when they settled. They had a special way of storing the apples through the cold winters in special straw lined pits and apparently they were delicious.  This was all mentioned in a family write up. In another  area where another branch of the  Skuce’s settled,  near Bark Lake, in a more remote part of Ontario, there are some the old farmsteads that have been left derelict, at one of these we discovered someone had gone out with a quad bike to collect fruit from the very old apple trees, that are were abandoned close to these homesteads, the crop looked amazing, and I do wonder if these were grown from seeds that were brought out by the new settlers, including the Skuce’s, when they first emigrated back in the mid-1830s or so. Bark Lake is where some of the Skuce family who had left Clashadoo/Bantry settled.

Introduction:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/19YE5U7alhWUprHxyAGzAPUxdm0MKMI0ijytcCU_qQfI/edit

This is an attempt to see how the descendant of the old Gaelic families fared after the ancestral lands were forfeit or confiscated for ‘rebellion’ against the English Crown and administration. It is impossible to be definitive but is likely that many of those represented here are of the old lines.  In the long run they have done well and even thrived.

In contrast those families granted estate, Beechers, Townsends  or those like the Whites of Biantry or Bernards of Bandon who bought land cheaply early 18th century from the Hollow Blade Company did not fare as well.  Few of the West Cork Landed families invested locally in productive assets. Even of the large estates the rentals were modest compared to the larger Irish estates.  An exception would be Cox in the development of the Dunmanway linen industry or Addelry in Innishannon. The building of large houses, ostentatious lifestyles residences in Dublin and London ensued large debts and ultimately little disposable income.  Papers such as the Chief Secretary are replete with Petitions from the West Cork Gentry for Government aid for road, harbour building various types of distress. However their individual personal contribution can characterised by the following during the cholera epidemic in 1833:

1833, John Roberts, Bantry, Magistrate, reported 15th April 1833, death of one of his policeman Ferguson of cholera.  Has been prevalent since the 11th March, 20 cases 5 dead many more now being treated.  This is a miserable neglected town without any resident gentry and the few who do, don’t exert themselves whether by contribution or otherwise to check the advance of the disease.  The Board of Health do not have the money to open a hospital which is the cause of this disease.

There is an untold story of economic development by the likes of the Bandon Clothiers and textile entrepreneurs, the millers, shippers, brewers such as the Deasys of Clonakilty of McCarthys of Skibbereen, the Bantry Vickeries who were the founders of West Cork tourism. Of Thomas Vickery who founded the hotel and pioneers the ’Prince of Wales Route, Bantry to Killarney, ‘he did more for the people of Bantry and surrounding area all the belted Earls.

The section of deeds in the Bantry/Durrus shows the emergence of a class up to now invisible. They comprise Catholic and Protestant farmers of substance, merchants, Grand Jury road contractors who were in a position to advance loans to the local small Landlords such as the Blairs of Blairs Cove, Evansons of Durrus, Hutchinson of Clonee, Durrus.  These are either by way of mortgage or rent charge. Ironically the advances commenced in the late 1780s a time of unparalleled prosperity when a well managed estate should have being doing well. It is estimated the land rent went up by a factor of 3 between 1780 and 1815 the dated of the Battle of Waterloo.
