Geoghegans -- A Family History

According to the genealogists, the MacEochagáins or Geoghegans are descended from Fiacha, son of Niall of the Nine Hostages who is said to have brought St. Patrick to Ireland. But while other septs in the area, such as the Foxes and especially the O'Melaghlins figure frequently in the Annals from the 6th century onwards, some 25 generations of Fiacha's Mac Eochagáin posterity pass unnoticed and unrecorded. In fact the group which were destined to become Geoghegans were probably relatively small during this period and confined to an area around Durrow on the Westmeath Offaly border. They certainly were chiefs of this area, but not anything like as powerful as their neighbours - O'Melaghlin, Molloy, Kearney (Fox), Brennan (who occupied the area around CastletownGeoghegan), and so on. The descendants of Fiacha, which of course included other families in addition to the Geoghegans, were collectively known as Cenel Fhiachaigh, anglicised as Kenaleagh or Kenalea and by this name the Geoghegan territory was known until Elizabethan times, when it was made into the Barony of Moycashel. Even the name Moycashel was taken from one of the principal castles of the Geoghegans, since disappeared.

In 1373 the Geoghegan territory was described as "MacGeoghegan country called Kinaliaghe contained in length twelve miles and in breadth seven miles. It lyeth midway between the ffort of Faly [Daingean] and Athlone, five miles distant from either of them and also five miles distant from Mullingar which lyeth north of it. The said MacGeoghegans' country is in the county of Westmeath situated in the upper end thereof, tending to the south part of said county and on the other side southward of it is O Moloyes' country. And on the southeast of it lyeth Offaley; and on the east side joineth Terrells' country, alias Ffertullagh. On the north side lyeth Daltons' country; and O Melaghlyns' country on the west side between it and Athlone where a corner of it joineth with Dillons' country." The "miles" were probably Irish miles that are somewhat longer than the modern mile. This would explain why some of the figures don't add up; for example, Athlone and Mullingar are thirty miles apart, yet a twelve-mile stretch is described as five miles from each of them. The O Molloys (described above as O Moloyes) were of the same kindred as the Geoghegans, being descended from Fiacha through another of his sons. Likewise the O Melaghlins (the name has now been totally superseded by MacLoughlin) the royal family of Meath and the Foxes of Kilcoursey, one time princes of Tethbha, traced their ancestry to two of Fiacha's brothers. All these families together make up what is known as the southern Uí Neill (the southern descendants of Niall).

The Geoghegan territory described in 1373 is much larger in area than the original territory, so what happened in the intervening period? In a phrase, the Norman invasion. The Normans conquered Britain in 1066. By the mid 1100's they were well established and in control there. In 1169, Dermot MacMurrough, King of Leinster invited the Anglo-Normans into Ireland to assist him in seizing the High Kingship. In 1169-1170 a huge Norman force under Strongbow (de Clare) invaded Ireland. Such was the fragmentation among the Irish chieftains that they were easily defeated. Following the invasion, Henry II, the Norman King of England richly rewarded his knights. One Hugh (or Hugo) de Lacy, one of Strongbow's generals was made Viceroy of Ireland, Governer of Ireland and Lord of Meath. He was "granted" the kingdom of Meath which had previously been the domain of the O'Melaghlins (descendants of Malachy) and included the Geoghegan territory. In total the area covered 800,000 acres. The wording of the grant was as follows "Henry by the grace of God King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitain, and the Earl of Anjoy, to the Archbishops, Abbots, Earls, Barons, Justices, and all his ministers and faithful subjects, French, English, Irish, of all his Dominions, greeting: Know ye that I have given and granted and by this my charter confirmed unto Hugh de Lacy, in consideration of his services, the land of Meath with its appurtenances, to have and to hold of me my heirs, to him and his heirs by the service of fifty knights, in as full and ample a manner as Muirchard Hu-Melaghlin held it or any other person before or after him: and as an addition I give all the fees that he owes or shall owe me above Dublin while he is my baliff, to do me servcies in my city of Dublin. Wherefore I will strickly command that the said Hugh and his heirs shall enjoy the said land and shall hold all the liberties and free customs which I have or may have therein by the aforesaid service from me and my heirs, well and peacefully, freely, quitely, and honourably, in wood and plain, in meadow and pasture, in water and mills, in warren and ponds, in fishing and hunting, in ways and paths, in seaports and all other places appertaining to the said land, with all liberties which I have therein or can grant or confirm to him by this my charter." Hugh set about building a whole series of castles in "his" new territory, including the magnificent Trim Castle which can still be seen today.

All this time, the Geoghegans, who were on the south western fringe of the Kingdom of Meath, were relatively unscathed and probably watched developments with little more than a modicum of interest. They certainly seem to have reatined the use, if technically not the possession, of their lands. However, Hugh de Lacy made a couple of fatal blunders. First he married an Irish woman, Rose, daughter of Roderick O'Connor, King of Connaught. That, combined with his furious castle building, made King Henry suspect that he was attempting to set up a seperate kingdom and perhaps even planning an assault on the throne of England. The cause of his demise, however, was not the King's anger, but the Geoghegans. Hugh needed a castle to protect the soutwestern borders of his territory and decided to build this in Durrow - smack in the middle of Geoghegan country. To accomplish this task he demolished the abbey at Durrow to create space and provide building material.

This was more than the Geoghegans could bear and, their patience at an end, the chopped of his head in 1186. The man who killed de Lacy fled with his accomplices to the wood of Clair or "Clara". However, the rest of the Geoghegans, their blood up, attacked and put to the sword the English retinue at the castle of Durrow, and that having got de Lacy's body into their possession, they concealed it nearly ten years, until A.D. 1195, it was interred with great pomp in the abbey of Bective, in Meath; Mathew O'Henry, archibishop of Cashel, and John Comyn, archibishop of Dublin, attending the ceremony. Hugh was succeeded by his eldest son, Walter and he also had a second son, also Hugh. These with Meyler FitzHenry, set themselevs up at Horseleap, Killare and elsewhere in modern Westmeath. However, they had two problems. Firstly, the Geoghegans continue to oppose and attack them and secondly they were now totally out of favour with the English crown and there was constant war between them and the king's troops. Eventually, the de Lacys were officially expelled from Meath by King Henry and they fled to Scotland. Hugh managed to return to Ireland some years later where he joined forces with O'Neill in Ulster, but the de Lacys were never a force in the midlands again. With the de Lacys gone, the Geoghegans took advantage of the situation and took over large tracts of the vacated land. And that is how they acquired the land described above in 1373.

The first person recorded as having used the surname was Congalach Mór Mageoghegan who died lord of Kenaleagh in 1291 leaving a son Murtagh Mór who succeeded his father and was killed in 1311. Murtagh left many sons including William Gallda or "foreign" William. This was probably a nickname and seems unexplained. It was during his lordship in 1329 that the Geoghegans defeated the English near Mullingar. The English retaliated the next year by bringing a large army under the leadership of the Earls of Ulster and Ormonde into Keneleagh and in turn defeated the Geoghegans. These were sizeable engagements and not mere skirmishes as were some of our Irish "battles". William Gallda died in 1332 and was succeeded by his brother Johnock who died in 1334. Supposedly, the Geoghegans of Cumminstown (near Kilbeggan) were descended from William and those of Clone from Johnock. Johnock's son Ruaidhri (Rory) was described as "the hawk of nobility and the prowess of his tribe and the most hospitable man from Dublin to Athlone" when he died in 1368. Diarmuid (Dermot) MacGeoghegan, Lord of Kenaleagh, grandson of Murtagh Mór, was ancestor of the Moycashel branch of the family who were known as Sliocht Hugh Boy in 1627. A brother (or half brother) of Diarmuid was Fearghal Rua (Red Haired Fergal) who was killed by the O Molloys at Killmona east of Rahugh in 1382. He was Lord of Kenaleagh and supposed ancestor to the Geoghegans of Newtown, whose castle was destroyed by the O'Connors of Offaly in 1474.

His son and namesake, Fearghal Rua, was perhaps the most illustrious of all the Geoghegans. He was elected Lord of Kenaleagh in 1409, in which office he was ably assisted by his son Fearghal Rua Óg (óg means "young"). His wife was a daughter of the Earl of Gabhrain (Ormonde). In 1414 they joined with O'Connor Faly in defeating a large army of English near Oldcastle, Co. Meath, where among the slain was the Baron of Slane. This was a decisive battle and many years of peace and quiet ensued in this part of Westmeath. Towards the end of Fearghal Rua's long reign, a cousin named Aedh Buí (known as Hugh Boy in English but more correctly Yellow Hugh - he was probably blond) began to contend for the lordship. This came to a head in 1444 when Fearghal plundered and burned the castle of Cluain Mael Bhealtaine which belonged to Aedh Buí. Aedh retaliated by attacking the town of Kilbeggan where Fearghal was wounded by Aedh's son, Connla. The next year, 1445, Fearghal Rua accompanied the celebrated Margaret O'Carroll (she was a lady of culture and wife of O'Connor Faly) on a pilgrimage to the City of St. James (Compostella in Spain).

Taking advantage of his absence, the O'Melaghlins and the O'Farrells came into Kenaleagh and burned the castles of Moycashel and Rooskagh. Fearghal's son immediately avenged the attack by plundering Domhnall O'Seery's place at Dunard on the banks of the Camath which was a stream in Moycashel barony. Evidently, O'Seery was a party to the earlier raid. Next the son attacked and defeated the Tuites at Muine Liath (now called Knockdrin) and raided the town of Mullingar. He then turned his forces against the O'Melaghlins and defeated them at Dromore in the present district of Rosemount. Soon afterward, Fearghal Rua returned from Spain and was captured by the English. He was freed through the influence of Margaret O'Carroll. The following year, 1446, Aedh Buí again gave trouble and Fearghal Rua took up arms against him. Aedh Buí was banished from Kenaleagh while some of his sons were killed and others imprisoned. In 1447, Fearghal plundered the O'Melaghlins at the Rubha (now Ballykillroe near Killare).

In 1450, Feraghal Rua Óg took great spoils from the English having plundered and burned Rathwire, Killucan, Ballyportell, Kilbixy and other English settlements. At Ballymore he took two of the Daltons and an O'Farrell prisoner. Then came the English of Meath, the Duke of York and the King's colours to Mullingar. "Mageoghegan's son", presumably Fearghal Rua Óg, mustered a large army which included a body of cavalry and marched to Ballyglass near Mullingar where the two armies met. No battle took place as the leaders agreed to make peace and Mageoghegan was allowed to keep the spoils he had taken. He was treated with great respect on this occasion and when he returned home he is said to have boasted that he had "given peace to the king's lieutenant" (the Duke of York). Two years later, in 1452, the O'Farrells aided by the O'Connors of Connacht and the English under the Baron of Delvin attempted to raid Ardnurcher. Fearghal Rua, however, caught up with the united forces at a place called Beal an Atha Soluis in Cenel Enda and put them to flight. One of the O'Connor leaders was so badly wounded that he died on his way home and was buried in Athlone.

Later the same year, Mageoghegan attacked a great force of O'Farrells, Dillons and O'Melaghlins, who were convoying a body of English fish merchants from Athlone to Trim at the Leaccain of the Rubha (Ballykilroe). The convoy's horsemen galloped away to safety leaving the infantry and the merchants at the mercy of Mageoghegan. Numbers were slain including fourteen of O'Farrell's men. So many fish were scattered about that the defeat became known afterwards as Maidhm an Eisg - the defeat of the fish. In 1454, the old man, Fearghal Rua, resigned the lordship, as he had become blind. Soon after he retired to the monastery of Durrow, where he died in 1458. Maeleachlain na nUrsgeal Ó hUiginn (Higgins) addressed a poem of many verses to Fearghal Rua urging him against his enemies. Here is a translation of two of the verses (translation by Paul Walsh) Drive the English settlers from Uisneach Let Fearghal not leave his lands to foreigners By right he owns everything Between the Inneion and Lough Ainnin If the plain of Midhe of the bright hills Was all under Fearghal's sway He would make unjust exaction of no man He would spend him and defend him (The Inneion is the Anvil River in Tang parish near Ballymahon and Lough Ainnin is Lough Ennel). Aedh Buí, who had previously been banished, was captured in 1448 by Fearghal Rua Óg and died in captivity. He was son or grandson of Diarmaid and therefore a first or second cousin of Fearghal Óg. It was through Aedh Buí that the main line of Geoghegan's was carried on and not through Fearghal Óg. The latter was captured by the English in 1452 and beheaded at a place called Cruach Abhall, said to be in the parish of Churchtown. The head was taken to Dublin for exhibition buy was afterwards buried in Durrow. He left a son named Aedh who killed the Lord of Kenaleagh in 1474. As a result, O'Connor Faly invaded the territory, defeated Aedh, burned the castle at Newtown and banished Aedh and his followers. Aedh left two sons. Melaghlin became Lord of Kenaleagh but was murdered in his sleep in 1478 in the castle of Laragh (near Rosemount) by two of his servants, for which crime they were subsequently burned alive. The other son was Murtagh who was killed by his own people around 1508.

After this, this line of the Geoghegans seems to have fallen into insignificance. Aedh Buí left many sons, the most important of whom was Connla, Lord of Kenaleagh, who was killed in 1470 at Achadh Buí at Tigh Bhride, which was a small chapel in Ardnurcher townland near Horseleap. He was killed by Art Mac Conn Ó Melaghlin and the Cholmain (Coleman) Clan because Geoghegan had killed O'Melaghlin's father some time before. Connla's son James died Lord of Kenaleagh in 1493 and was succeeded by another son named Laighnech. His grandson was another Connla, Lord of Kenaleagh, who made the celebrated agreement with An Sionnach (Fox) of Muintir Tadhain by which the latter put himself, his people and his territory under Geoghegan protection. This agreement was drawn up on 20th August 1566 in MacGeoghegan's castle of Syonan and the original document is now in the library of Trinity College Dublin. Geoghegan's overlordship was freely agreed to by Fox and his people and there was no question of pressure.

The tokens of overlordship consisted of a gniomh (about ten acres) of land free from every impost and a hog out of every other gniomh which paid "chiefry" to Fox. Whatever cess Geoghegan might have to pay to the King's deputy, the Fox was to pay his share for his territory and likewise in the case of the deputy cessing Fox, Geoghegan was to pay his proportion. The Fox and his chiefs were to attend the All Hallows or May meeting held by Geoghegan in Ardnurcher or Corrnasgean. In return Geoghegan undertook to protect Fox and his people, but they were to submit to the judgements of Murtagh Mac Egan, the Chief of Geoghegan's judges in all litigation. Geoghegan was to try to ensure that Fox's territory would not be infringed upon and if he failed to do this (after not trying his best endeavour) the agreement ceased to be binding. The witnesses included: Mageoghegan himself; his wife, Marcella (daughter of Christopher Nugent); Thomas Buí O'Brennan of Creeve (near Streamstown); the parson Cuchrichi O Seanchain; Eoghan O Cionga (King) and Murtagh O Cionga (the chief poet of both areas). On behalf of Fox: Fox himself (Breasal Mac Eoghain Mac Cairbre); Murtagh and Felim sons of Edmond Fox; Breasal and Cuchrichi sons of Brian Fox and Murtagh O Noire (chief poet to Fox). The document was drafted by James O Cionga (King). Despite all the fuss over the agreement, Connla submitted to the English government the very next year and took a lordship from the Crown. This in effect was a step down from Irish Chieftain to mere gentleman. He represented Kenaleagh in Perrot's parliament in 1585 and died, much lamented, in 1588. He married three times and doubtless had many children. Three important sons were Ross, Brian and Aedh Buí, each of whom had a different mother. Ross was Connla's son by his wife Amalin Fox. He took the government side at an early date. He was rumoured to be born out of wedlock but the government satisfied itself that he parents' marriage took place in the Church of Kilbride (Clara) and that Ross was their lawful child. On 17th May 1570 the Queen wrote to her Lord Deputy Sydney directing him to ensure that Ross succeeded his father Connla in the Lordship of Kenaleagh as he was "a good subject". However, Ross was killed by his half brother Brian in 1580. A rumour was put about that the boys' father was party to the murder and Connla was arrested by the Lord Justice. Nothing ever came of it however, and he was soon released. In June 1582, Brian's lands, already forfeit for the murder of his brother, were granted to Ross's widow, Iiles and in the same month, certain lands previously surrendered to the government by Connla were granted to his grandson Niall, the son of Ross. Earlier, in February 1582, Lord Deputy Grey had written to the Privy Council in favour of Niall, who himself, a month later, petitioned the Council that he might have the captaincy of Kenaleagh. His petition was not disregarded and when Connla died, Niall became the Queen's Captain of Kenaleagh, a position he held until his death in 1596. He left a son, Ross (named after his grandfather), who had a livery of his father's lands on 8th February 1604 for a fine of £14 17s. 3d. (fourteen pounds, seventeen shillings and three pence). In this grant Niall was described as "late of Moecashell in County Westmeath". On 5th October, James I, the King, wrote to Sir Arthur Chichester in favour of Ross, so that he must have been well regarded by the government or had the ear of the court. In 1640 he was proprietor of 1200 acres in Ardnurcher parish, 1100 acres in Rahugh parish, 500 acres in Newtown parish and lessor amounts elsewhere. All of this was confiscated under Cromwell's act of settlement. Niall was also father to Connall the Historian.

Conall lived at Lismoyney, near Kilbeggan, but worked in the castle of Leamonoghan, in Co. Offaly, where he translated some of the Irish Annals into English. This translation is now known as the Annals of Clonmacnoise. Copies of his manuscript are preserved in the library of Trinity College, Dublin and in the British Museum. O'Donovan says: "This work is of great value, as it contains exact versions in English of all the peculiar idioms and phrases which occur in the various Irish Annals". O'Curry observes: "The translation is written in the quaint style of the Elizabethan period, but by a man who seems to have well understood the value of the original Gaedhlic phraseology, and rendered it every justice, as far as we can determine in the absence of the original". It is thought that this translation was prompted by James Usher, bishop of Meath and later bishop of Armagh. Among his other works were the succession of the Kings and genealogies of the saints compiled at Killinure, near Glasson in 1630, both certified by O'Clery. Conall was still living in 1644 and may have lived for a while at Kilmaleady House near Horseleap.

The ReimRioghraidhe (Rem-Ree-riah), or Succession of the Kings of Ireland, a historical work compiled by Brother Michael O'Clery, one of the Four Masters, was commenced in the house of Conall Mageoghegan, was carried on under the patronage of Turlogh Mac Coghlan, and finished in the Franciscan Friary of Athlone, on the 4th November, 1630. In the Preface, the learned and humble author commences thus "In nomine Dei. Amen. On the third day of the month of September, Anno Christi 1644, this book was commenced to be written, in the house of Conall, son of Niall, son of Rossa Mageoghegan, of Lismoyny, in Cenel Fhiachach, one by whom are prized and preserved the ancient monuments of our ancestors; one who is the industrious collecting bee of everything that belongs to the honour and history of the descendants of Milesius and of Lugaidh, son of Ith, both lay and ecclesiastical, as far as he could find them." Returning to Brian, son of Connla, we find him living at Castletown (Castletown-Geoghegan) in January 1600 when Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone came to the midlands seeking assistance in his campaign against the English government and to punish his avowed enemies. Many of the Geoghegans were already in rebellion, but the leaders of the sept, like Brian and his half brother Aedh Buí, still help aloof and were courting crown favour. O'Neill, having punished the Dillons, came to the house of William Magawly (McAuley) at Carne near Mount Temple on the last Friday in January 1600 and encamped over the weekend. The government had a spy named Kinkey in O'Neill's camp and he reported that O'Neill had "made an O'Melaghlin" and "offered to make Brian MacGeoghegan chief of his name". Brian refused the offer. His half brother, Aedh Buí, wrote to his cousin, the Baron of Delvin on the Saturday night (26th January) suggesting that the time was ripe to attack O'Neill. Within a few days the Baron of Delvin had assembled his troops with help from Brian and Hugh (Aedh) Geoghegan, Captain Lyster and James Fitzgerald, to oppose O'Neill.

The latter, however, never entered Kenaleagh, but turn southward in the King's County. After the murder of Ross, Brian fled to England where he appears to have spent much time and apparently improved his relationship with the government. When his father Connla died in 1588, his will appears to have favoured Brian (Ross had the backing of the government, as mentioned earlier). Therefore, Brian attempted to oust his nephew, Niall (Ross's son) from the lordship. In this he didn't succeed, but we find him drawing a government pension up to the time of his death when he was proprietor of Donore (which castle, although a ruin, may still be seen near Horseleap). He made his will on 4th August 1627 and died on 2nd September 1628. His son and heir was Kedagh who apparently died before 1640, when his son (or possibly Aedh Buí's son - see below) Connla or Conley was proprietor of the lands and castle of Donore. However, the main line of the Geoghegans of Castletown was carried on through Aedh Buí (Hugh) and his descendants. But before moving on to them let us close up some loose ends on this current line. Ross (who was killed by Brian in 1580 and whose son Niall became the Queens' Captain) had three other sons: Richard, James and Ross. Ross (junior) also known as Roch was born about 1579 and his mother was Gyles (Sile, Sheila) daughter of O'Dempsey of Clonygowan, in King's County. Ross joined the Dominican order in Spain, became provincial of the Irish Province and restored the house of his order in Mullingar about 1622. He became "saintly and enterprising" Bishop of Kildare in 1629. He died in 1644 and is buried at Multyfarnham. Richard was the gallant defender of Dunboy Castle in West Cork at the end of the O'Neill war. He has been described as "the impersonation of chivalrous fidelity, the very soul of truth, honour and bravery". With 142 companions he held Dunboy for eleven days against Carew and his army of 4000 men and finally died staggering wounded, firebrand in hand, attempting to explode the powder casks in the castle vaults. That was on 17th June 1602. He apparently left no issue. Little is known of James. He lived at the castle of Balraha near Ballinagore and apparently took part in the rebellion with his brother Richard. On 20th January in the first year of James I, his castle of Balraha was granted to one William Taaffe at a rent of half a crown Irish. He may have died in the rebellion, but at the very least his lands were confiscated as a result of his anti-government activities.

Returning to Aedh Buí (Hugh Boy), son of Connla and half brother to Ross and Brian, he married Ellen daughter of Walter Tyrrell of Clonmoyle, near Mullingar and died on 10th June 1622. His son Art succeeded him at Castletown. Aedh had at least six other sons and a daughter Mary who became wife of Breasal Fox of Kilcoursey (died 7th April 1639). The other sons were Connla (Conly), Brian (Bryan), Barnaby, Thomas and two others whose names are unknown. A contradictory line suggests that the Connla in question was son of Kedagh and grandson of Brian (half brother to Aedh). Regardless of his lineage, Connla inherited the castle and lands at Donore where he was in possession at the time of the Confederate and Cromwellian wars. Although Cromwell's forces took Donore, Connla managed to be absent at the time. James, son of Niall Geoghegan, held the castle for Connla and when it was taken by General John Reynolds, James along with up to fifty men, women and children were slaughtered by the Cromwellian forces. Under the Cromwell's settlement, Connla was transplanted to Connacht, possibly to Leitrim, on 20th June 1656. His sympathies lay with the exiled King Charles and after his restoration Connla, who must have been an old man by then, was especially included in the Declaration of royal gratitude of the Act of Settlement which restored him to his principal seat of Donore and 2000 acres of land. This was rather exceptional as Connla lived and died an "Irish Papist". Connla was father to Kedagh Geoghegan (note the dropped "Mac" or "Ma" which is typical of de-gaelicisation of that oppressive time). Kedagh married Margaret Fitzgerald of Laccah, Co. Kildare and was father to Colonel Bryan Geoghegan of Donore and Charles Geoghegan of Carne. Colonel Bryan Geoghegan served in the army of James II for which he was outlawed in 1690. He represented the Borough of Kilbeggan in James' parliament in 1689. He was later adjudged within the Articles of Limerick and was living in 1704 when he was one of the nine Westmeath catholic gentlemen licensed to keep and carry firearms. He married late in life and had one son, David who succeeded to Donore, and two daughters, one of whom married O'Kelly of Aughrim and the other, Elizabeth, married Kedagh Geoghegan of Jamestown. David died unmarried on 29th June 1778 and willed his property in trust to Roger Shiel of Clarmont, Co. Mayo and Owen Mooney of the Doon for his grand nephews Kedagh and John Geoghegan of Carne, his great-grand-nephew Richard Nagle of Jamestown and his nephew John O'Kelly. He is buried in Castletown churchyard. He apparently conformed to the established church since he served on the grand jury for many years. Charles Geoghegan of Carne (Colonel Bryan's brother) married Jane Hussey, daughter of the Baron of Galtrim, Co. Meath and had children including Kedagh, who married his cousin Mary, daughter of Edward Geoghegan of Castletown and had several daughters and two sons, Bryan and James. Bryan (Charles' son) succeeded to Carne and married Elizabeth
