Barron Family Connection 

The Barons/Barrons, or Fitzgeralds, of Burnchurch

The Fitzgeralds aka Baron/Barron of Ireland
The Fitzgeralds of Ireland, who are now very numerous, are said to be all descended from the famous Maurice, son of Gerald, who accompanied Strongbow in the Anglo-Norman invasion. Gerald was constable of Pembroke in Wales and was married to Nesta, Princess of Wales. Fitzgerald simply means son of Gerald - Fitz (French - Fils) becoming Mac in Irish, hence the use of MacGearailt as the Gaelic form the name. Other than the more famous FitzGerald Earls of Desmond and of Kildare, there include the FitzGeralds of Burnchurch (Co. Kilkenny).  Some of the Fitzgeralds in Co. Waterford, whose ancestor was baron of Burnchurch, Co. Kilkenny, assumed the surname Barron. The name Barron shows in the mid-19th century record with a fair distribution in Co. Kilkenny and surrounding areas. For an early history of the Fitzgeralds in Co. Kilkenny.  
Lismore Castle, Waterford, Ireland
Waterford is a city situated in south-eastern Ireland, on the river Suir about seventeen miles from where the river enters the sea. Practically the entire city is built on the south bank of the river. Waterford is Ireland's oldest city and was founded by the Vikings in the 9th century. It was taken over by the Anglo-Norman invaders of the 12th century and was one of the most important old English entres in medieval Ireland. Since then it has seen sieges, invasions famine and economic highs and lows. It remains the foremost city in Ireland's south-east region.

Belmont Park, Ferrybank, County Waterford

 

There was a house on this site by 1776, which was at first called Graigshare or Mount Hulings after John Hulings (d. 1779). This was rebuilt in about 1789 as a six bay three storey house, reputedly to the designs of the otherwise unrecorded William Anthony junior, probably for William Newport, a local banker, who committed suicide when faced with bankruptcy. He called it Belmont House, but after his death the house was sold to Sir Henry Winston Barron 1795-1872, who changed the name to Barroncourt in about 1840, who let it from about 1860 and then sold it to his cousin, Pierse Marcus Barron (1806-1879); to son, Pierce E.L. A. Barron (1826-96) who sold 1883 to Brothers of Charity, and repaired to serve as a private mental hospital for men, called St. Patrick's Institution. Substantial additions were made to the buildings in 1885 and a chapel was built and opened in 1927. The house was gutted by fire in 1949 and rebuilt in 1951-54. Since the 1960s the work of the hospital has been redirected to young men with learning disabilities and transferred to lay hands, although the Brothers of Charity are still involved at a governance level.

Woodstown, County Waterford

Edward Alphonse Winston Barron purchased this home in 1901, he engaged Ashlin & Coleman (formerly Ashlin & Pugin) to make alterations and additions to the house. This firm, which was known almost exclusively for its Gothic work, was an unexpected choice to alter a delicate Regency house, but the link was probably that they had worked on Ferrybank Catholic Church for Sir Henry P-T. Barron a few years earlier. They proposed a Classical re-rendering of the façade of Woodstown, and the addition of a gallery, a library with neo-Celtic decoration and a new top-lit billiard room under a dome. Fortunately, nothing came of these proposals, and the house survived intact. It was bought in 1945 by Mr. C.D. Cholmeley-Harrison, a stockbroker.

3~Sir Geraldus Fitzwalter De Windsor, Constable of Pembroke B: 1075 Wales, Pembrokeshire, Carew Castle D: 1136 in Windsor Castle, Berkshire, England. M: 1104 Nesta verch Rhys, Princess of Wales, Concubine #13 of Henry I of England, of Deheubarth and Gwladys ferch Rhiwallon  B: 1073 Dynevor, Llandyfesisant, Carmarthenshire, Wales D: 1136 in Hanging Marsh, Garth Celyn, Aber Garth Celyn. Walter fitzOtho was a Norman in the following of William the Conqueror, the first castellan of the strategic fortress of Windsor and Keeper of its Forest, entrusted to him upon its completion by the Conqueror. Gerald had at least three older brothers, William, Robert, and Maurice  Gerald was the first castellan of Pembroke Castle in Dyfed in the late 11th and early 12th centuries, and the Norman chieftain in charge of the Norman forces in southwest Wales. He was the father of the FitzGerald and de Barry dynasties of Ireland, who were elevated to the ranks of peers of Ireland in the 14th century. When the Geraldines, "Geralds' sons and grandsons" married, Gerald added "Fitz" to their last name, thus the beginning of the "FitzGerald" or "Sons of Gerald" dynasty. Sir Knight Gerald Fitz-Walter de Windsor was named by King Henry I as 'Constable of Pembroke Castle". He also defended the Castle against the Welsh and served as Constable under Arnulf De Montgomery. He married Nest Verch Rhys "Princess of Wales" at Windsor Castle. Evidently his wife and children were kidnapped by one of her cousins. She was thereafter called "Helen of Wales" because of Helen of Troy. She was a great beauty and her kidnapping almost started a war. Gerald of Windsor was constable, under Arnulf de Montgomery, of his castle of Pembroke, and successfully defended it when it was attacked by the Welsh in 1092. In 1100, he went to Ireland to demand for Arnulf the daughter of King Murrough in marriage. When Arnulf was deprived of his estates and exiled by Henry I in 1102, the King granted the custody of Pembroke Castle to Gerald. The family of Gerald and Nest was remarkable in three respects: it included a large number of males; most of them were involved in the Norman incursions and settlements in Ireland; and the family produced a fluent writer who recorded their deeds. His heir, William, and his younger son, Maurice, were leading Anglo-Norman forces against the Welsh in 1136. Nest bore Gerald at least five children, three sons and two daughters. Through her children by Gerald, Nest is an ancestress of the de Bohun Family, the Tudor monarchs of England, and, through the Tudors, of the Stuarts, as well as of President John F. Kennedy, and Diana, Princess of Wales.

Nesta was married to the Norman Castellan Gerald de Windsor (1075-1135), and together they are the progenitors of the FitzGerald dynasty. Nest had two younger brothers, Gruffydd ap Rhys and Hywel. After Nest reached puberty, she came to the attention of the youngest son of William the Conqueror, Henry I of England, to whom she bore one of his numerous illegitimate children, Henry FitzHenry (c. 1103–1158). Some time after the rebellions of Robert of Normandy and Robert of Belesme, head of the powerful Montgomery family of Normandy and England, the king married Nest to Gerald FitzWalter of Windsor, Arnulf de Montgomery's former lieutenant and constable for Pembroke Castle. In 1102, for siding with the Montgomerys against the king, Gerald had been removed from control of Pembroke, and one Saher, a knight loyal to Henry, installed in his place. When Saher proved untenable in his new position, the king restored Gerald to Pembroke in 1105, along with Nest as his wife. By Gerald, Nest is the maternal progenitor of the FitzGerald dynasty, one of the most celebrated families of Ireland and Great Britain. They are referred to as Cambro-Normans or Hiberno-Normans, and have been Peers of Ireland since 1316, when Edward II created the earldom of Kildare for John FitzGerald. Also known as Gerald de Windsor, was the nobleman in charge of the Norman forces in Wales in the late 11th century. Notably, he was the progenitor of the FitzGerald dynasty, one of the most celebrated families of Ireland and Great Britain. The FitzGeralds are a Hiberno-Norman or Cambro-Norman dynasty, and have been Peers of Ireland since at least the 14th Century. Gerald held the office of Constable of Pembroke Castle from 1102, was granted the manor of Moulsford in Berkshire (now Oxfordshire) by the King and built a motte and bailey castle at Carew in Pembrokeshire. M: 1095 Nesta of Deheubarth, a Welsh Princess, daughter of Prince Rhys ap Tewdur, Prince of South Wales & Gwladys ferch Rhiwallon. B: 1073 Dynevor, Llandyfeisant, Carmartheshire, Wales D: 1136 Hanging Marsh, Garth Celyn, Aber Garth Celyn. She was reputed to be the most beautiful woman in Wales, daughter of  defeated Welsh Prince Rhys ap Tewdwr. Princess Nesta was a very remarkable woman. She is sometimes referred to as the "mother of the Irish invasion" since her sons, by various fathers, and her grandsons were the leaders of the invasion. She had, in the course of her eventful life, two lovers, two husbands, and many sons and daughters. Her father is quoted as saying that she had 10 children as a result of her matrimonial escapades, eight sons and two daughters. One of her lovers was King Henry I of England. Some years before she married Gerald, her father, the fierce old Prince of South Wales, was fighting the English under Henry, (then the Prince and later King). Henry succeeded in taking the lovely Nesta as hostage. By this royal lover, she had two sons; Meyler fitzHenry and the celebrated Robert of Gloucester. It would seem that Gerald, busily engaged in military business, could have had no peace about his wife, since she was clever as well as beautiful,and every warrior seems to have fallen in love with her. In 1095, Gerald led an expedition against the Welsh on the borders of what is now Pembrokeshire. In 1100, he went to Ireland to secure for his lord, Arnulf Montgomery, the hand of the daughter of King Murrough in marriage. He was the first of the Geraldines to set foot in Ireland, where they were later to rule like kings. Later, Arnulf joined in a rebellion against the King, was deprived of his estates and exiled in 1102. Then the King granted custody of Pembroke Castle to Gerald. Later, he was appointed president of the County of Pembrokeshire. But it was Nesta that occupied the center of their stage during their marriage. Her beauty continued to excite wonder and desire throughout Wales. At Christmas in 1108, Cadwgan, Prince of Cardigan, invited the native chieftains to a feast at Dyvet (St. David's). Nesta's beauty was a subject of conversation. She excited the curiosity of Owain, a cousin, Owain ap Cadwgan, the son of Prince Cadwgan, who resolved to see her. She was his cousin, so that the pretense of a friendly visit was easy. He successfully obtained admission with his attendants into Pembroke Castle. Her beauty -- it was even greater than he expected -- excited his lust. He determined to carry her off! In the middle of the night, he set fire to the castle, and his followers surrounded the room where Gerald and Nesta were sleeping. Gerald was awakened by the noise and about to discover the cause, but Nesta, suspecting some treason, persuaded him to make his escape. She pulled up a board and let her husband escape down a drain by a rope. Then Owain broke open the door, seized Nesta and two of her sons, and carried them off to Powys, leaving the castle in flames. Owen had his way with Nesta, (historians say that one of her ten children was his), though whether she yielded from desire or force was uncertain. But at her request, Owen hastened to send back the two sons to Gerald. When King Henry heard of Nesta's abduction, he was furious. He regarded it as an injury almost personal, since Gerald was not only his steward, but his particular friend. The abduction of Nesta led to a war, which resulted in her return to her husband, and Owain fled to Ireland. Nest is said to have borne Owain two sons, Llywelyn and Einion, before finally being returned to her husband. Gerald took a conspicuous role in the fighting. In 1116, Henry ordered Owain, who had returned to Wales, to apprehend Gruffuyd, son of Rhys ap Tewdyr. As he passed through a wood on his march to join up with the royal forces, Owain seized some cattle. The owners of the cattle, as they fled, met Gerald, Constable of Pembroke. Gerald was also on his way to join the royal forces. When the cattle owners requested his assistance, he was only too delighted to have the opportunity for revenge for the insult to his honor done by Owen's abduction of Nesta. He lost no time in pursuing Owen, found him, and a skirmish followed. Owen was slain, an arrow piercing his heart, and Gerald's honor was avenged. After Gerald's death, Nest became the lover of Stephen, Constable of Cardigan, by whom she had another son, Robert Fitz-Stephen who died in 1182. With his half-brother Maurice, he captured the town of Wexford (see Siege of Wexford). They were granted joint custody of the town. (Nesta married again. Her second husband was Stephen, Constable of Cardigan, by whom she had one son, Robert fitzStephen. Nesta's children and their descendants constituted a menace to the English rule of Wales. Royal Welsh blood mingled with the blood of the nobles of Normandy in all the half-brothers, sons of Gerald of Windsor and Stephen of Cardigan. Bastard or legitimate, they were turbulent princes in a troubled land. Now fighting the Welsh natives, now allying themselves with their cousin, Nesta's brother Gruffuyd, the unconquered Prince of Wales, on whose head Henry had set "a mountain of gold", they remained a constant source of /trouble to the King, an ever-present threat to his security. And so they fought, these Norman barons, and they went on fighting. It was the able and ambitious Henry II, one of England's really great kings, (the Henry of "Becket" and "Lion in Winter"), the father of Richard the Lionhearted and John of the Magna Carta, who was to find a solution. He was to give these Norman adventurers a free hand in Ireland. It was thus that the Norman invasion of Ireland came about, and the Geraldines arrived in 1169).

Richard Baron of Burnchurch FitzGerald, Burnchurch Castle

Burnchurch castle or Tower House was built and owned by the Fitzgeralds, otherwise Barron, of  Burnchurch who descended from Maurice Fitz Maurice whose father was most probably Maurice Fitz Gerald one of the first of the Anglo-Norman invaders into Ireland and ancestor of the different  branches of Fitzgeralds in the country. The Fitzgeralds of Burnchurch, known also by the surname of Barron, account for the wide distribution of the of surname Barron in this part of county Kilkenny. They lost their lands to Colonel William Warden in the mid 17th century under the Cromwellian settlements. The property later passed by marriage into the Flood family. The Round Tower would have originally formed a corner of the walled bawn or enclosure attached to the Tower House.

Fine £50." Roland was still living in 1641, but died soon after, leaving by his wife, Anstace, eldest daughter of Tobert Rothe of Kilkenny (1550-1622), at least two sons, Richard, his successor; and Edward. Father Patrick Fitzgerald who was parish priest of St. Patrick's, Kilkenny, for 30 years or more, and died Oct. 3rd, 1749, is stated on his monument in St. Patrick's churchyard, to have sprung from the noble family of the Fitzgeralds of Burnchurch, and from the noble family of Rothes. It is probable, therefore, that he was descended in the direct line from the Captain's grandparents, Roland Fitzgerald and Anstace Rothe. On the 15th June, 1607, livery was granted "to Roland Fitzgerald of Kiltranyheyn alias Burnechurch, Esqr., son of Richard Fitzgerald, late of same, deceased. Fine £50." Roland was still living in 1641, but died soon after. M: 1590 Anstace Rothe, eldest daughter of Robert Rothe of Kilkenny (04/28/1550-1622). Robert Rothe the son of David Rothe, ‘sovereign’ of Kilkenny in 1541, and commissioner for the county in 1558. Robert Rothe was the Earl of Ormonde. The Rothes were merchants foremost, however, they were also involved in politics. They ware part of an oligarchy of around ten families who controlled Kilkenny throughout the 15th and 16th centuries, and into 17th century. Rothe house was constructed on a burgage plot John Rothe Fitz Piers acquired. The house was confiscated after Charles I defeat in England, due to their involvement in the confederation of Kilkenny. Following the restoration of Charles II the house was given back to the family. see below

Georgestown House, County Waterford

Georgetown House was held by James Barron as the seat of J. Barron in 1837. In the 1870s it was the seat of John M. Barron. The house was offered for sale as part of the Georgestown estate in April 1885 on behalf of Pierse John Barron, a minor.A three-bay late Georgian house of two storeys over a basement, with a lower wing. There are segmental pediments over the windows on the ground floor and a simple dentil cornice under the roof. The side of the house is weather-slated. It was a seat of the Barron family and in 1877, when it was advertised to let, contained a parlour, drawing room and four principal bedrooms in addition to the service accommodation. In the mid 20th century it was the home of Lord William Beresford, who restored the house, putting back the glazing bars which had been removed in Victorian times, and giving the house its present very handsome doorway, with engaged Doric columns and a broken pediment; this came from Ballycanvan House near Waterford. Descent: James Power; to daughter, Margaret Catherine, wife of James Barron (b. 1715); to nephew, John Barron (1750-1800); to son, James Barron (c.1771-1857); to son-in-law, James Sherlock Harper (d. 1868); to second cousin, John Marcus Barron (1844-80); to son, Pierse John Barron, whose trustees sold 1885 to Richard Henry Kelly; sold c.1931 to Lord William Beresford (1905-1973); given 1948 to sister, Lady Patricia Miller (1902-1991), she sold for use as a stud farm in 2010.

Lord Charles Henry Somerset, second son of the 5th Duke of Beaufort. Educated at Trinity College, Dublin (admitted 1814). A pugnacious politician whose popularity with the limited electorate of Waterford city and county swung wildly over his many decades at the centre of local affairs. He purchased the radical newspaper, The Waterford Chronicle, in 1824 and made it a mouthpiece for Catholic and O'Connellite politics, although he later parted company with O'Connell over the issue of the repeal of the Act of Union. In the election campaign of 1829-30 he stood as a candidate for Waterford but withdrew before the poll when the extent of his unpopularity became clear (but not before fighting a duel with the Tory candidate, Lord George Beresford). He was more successful at the election of 1832 and was Whig MP for Waterford, 1832-1841, 1842-1847, 1848-1852, 1865-1868 and 1869-1870, although many of his elections were bitterly fought and some were the subject of parliamentary inquiries. He represented the city on a liberal and pro-Union platform after 1835. He was also a JP and DL for Co. Waterford and served as High Sheriff of Co. Waterford, 1858. He was created a baronet, 18 October 1841. He travelled extensively in Europe and published Notes on education in Germany and Holland (1840), based on a tour he undertook of schools and universities in those countries in 1839. He inherited Ballyneal from his elder brother in 1818. He purchased Belmont House, Ferrybank by 1824 and later renamed it Barroncourt. He built Glenanna (originally Glenanna Cottage) and the folly gatehouse in its grounds in about 1819.

Glennana, Ardmore, County Waterford


A simple, long and low house described in 1837 as 'the marine residence of H. Winston Barron Esq. Glenanna, Ardmore: the folly gatehouse. Close to it stood a Gothick folly gatehouse dated 1819, with two round towers, battlements and pointed windows, which was perhaps influenced by Ardo nearby. It is said that the gatehouse was intended to be the first phase of a rebuilding campaign which would extend to the house: a scheme which was perhaps abandoned after Sir Henry bought Belmont Park in the early 1820s. The house was abandoned in the 20th century and is now in ruins; the gatehouse is also ruined, but still stands to the full height of the towers at the time of writing. Descent: probably built for Sir Henry Winston Barron (1795-1872), 1st bt.; to son, Sir Henry Page-Turner Barron (1824-1900), 2nd bt.; to first cousin, once removed, Edward Alphonse Winston Barron (1876-1939).

He was author of some forty-five official reports on Belgium, Portugal, Turkey and Wurttemberg. He succeeded his father as 2nd baronet, 19 April 1872 and was appointed CMG, 1882. He inherited Glenanna from his father in 1872, and owned some 4,680 acres in Co. Waterford in 1876. At his death his Irish estates passed to his first cousin once removed, Edward Alphonse Winston Barron (1876-1939) (q.v.) and his property in England to his nephew, Cecil Charles Polhill-Turner (later Polhill). He died at Stuttgart (Germany), 13 September 1900, when the baronetcy became extinct; his will was proved on 6 December 1900 (estate in England, £306,473 and in Ireland, £6,238), and made large charitable bequests totalling about £30,000, including money to complete the rebuilding of Ferrybank RC church County Waterford and the donation of ten Dutch old master paintings to the National Gallery of Ireland.

4~Dr. Marcus Newton Barron B: 08/11/1819 in Jasper County, Georgia. D: 04/22/01882 M: Mary Ann Selina Perdue, 1828-1913, a native of GHe eventually settled here in Covington Cty, Alabama and became engaged in the business of the small town. During these years, he managed a cafe on the second floor of the early, two-story saloon, located on the site of the First National Bank Building. Marcus's will was dated April 8, 1882, and was buried in Andalusia, Alabama. He and his wife reared ten children, some born in Georgia & some in Alabama.
1~Samford Pliney Barron B: 07/29/1844 D: 12/25/1921 M: 11/01/1866 Susan Darby 'Tudie' B: 05/07/1844 Henderson, Pike County, AL.  D: 09/08/1921, daughter of Jeremiah and Nancy (Stoneworth) Darby of Pike County. Susan was a loyal disciple of Christ for sixty years; always cheerful, and loved by all who knew her, especially by children. Her counsel and advice have helped many to a higher and better life.  Samford was only three years of age when the family moved from Merriweather County, Georgia, to Pike County, Alabama. He grew up several miles outside of Troy in the Henderson community. Around 1875, the couple moved with their young children to Covington County. Samford P. became an influential leader in the growing community of Andalusia. He and Tudie began their livelihood by his teaching a school in their home and her operating a small mercantile business in the home as well. At one point Samford P. served for a short time as clerk of the county. He entered into a business arrangement with Ed Tatum to operate a steamboat, named the Mary Alice, on the Conecuh River between Montezuma and Pensacola. Unfortunately, the river was too shallow to accommodate a loaded boat. So the venture was abandoned. His son, Marcus, had served as clerk for the company. Before moving to this area, Samford P. and his wife, Tudie, had been introduced to the restoration of New Testament Christianity, the Christian Church, or the Church of Christ as it is commonly known. They became active members and began immediately, upon arriving in Andalusia, to establish a congregation. Two prominent religious leaders in what is referred to as the “Restoration Movement” came to Covington County during the 1870s. The two men, Samford P. Barron and Simon I. Smith Cawthon (see below), brought with them a zeal for planting a church in the area, which follows the simple pattern of organization and worship outlined in the New Testament. They accomplished this during 1875, their first year of residence. The congregation first met in the Barron's home, the Masons' Building, and in an old school building. Later, a meeting place was selected on Dunson Street. By 1900, a nice building was constructed on Church Street at a location just west of the current Regions Bank. This facility served the growing church for more than 50 years.
In 1955, the congregation moved to a new brick building on South Three Notch Street. The original auditorium and classrooms have been renovated with additions added to enhance the worship and services of the congregation. For a number of years, the congregation was known by the name of South Three Notch until it was changed to the Central Church of Christ some years earlier. Other congregations have been organized throughout the county from the evangelism of the Barrons and others in this religious group. For some reason after four years, the family, chose to move back to Pike County where they lived for the next nine years. During this period, Samford P. continued his evangelistic efforts. In 1888, the family returned to Andalusia where Samford once again became involved in the community. He died on Christmas Day, 1921, and was buried in the Magnolia Cemetery where many descendants have been buried also.

Hephzibah Baptist Church, Pike Cty, AL, Located 4 1/2 miles south of Troy on the old Three Notch Road. Church was organized 10 April 1858. The minutes of that meeting were written by Jacob Smith, with Smith Barron acting as moderator. At the next meeting, 8 May, 1858, William M. Stanley and wife, Mary, were received as members. Seven members were appointed as a committee to build a church house. The committee included Smith Barron, Thomas Barron, Jacob Smith and John Barron. In June 1858 the first deacons were chosen: Thomas Barron, Smith Barron and Jacob Smith. Thomas Barron died in 1858, Elizabeth Barron in 1861. On 2 June 1860, Smith Barron and wife applied for and were granted letters. William M. Stanley and John W. Barron were ordained deacons in 1860. In 1862, William M. Stanley was employed "to keep the house the ensuing year for the sum of eight dollars." (Sources: "Hephzibah Baptist Church," an article by Margaret Pace Farmer, and notes taken by James Wilkins in June 1964 from the original minute book in Troy, AL)

Footnotes:

John Barron, Sr. purchased land in January of 1837. This property was in the NE1I4 of NW1I4 in S10 T5 R16, located in Covington County. 

 

The next reference to a member of the family is for James M. Barron who was listed as owning 5 slaves in 1860. However, he was not listed in the 1850, 1860, or 1870 Census of Covington County.


County Kilkenny Ireland History: The FitzGeralds, or Barons, of Burnchurch Rev. Carrigan in his "History" published in 1905 describes the FitzGeralds of Burnchurch on pages 378-381 of Volume III: The Fitzgeralds, otherwise Barons, otherwise FitzMaurices, of Burnchurch, were descended from Maurice fitz Maurice, whose father, most probably, was Maurice fitz Gerald, one of the first of the Anglo-Norman invaders in Ireland, and ancestor of the different families of the Fitzgeralds in this country. Maurice fitz Maurice was lord of Kiltranyn or Burnchurch, in the time of Bishop Hugh de Rous, when he appropriated Burnchurch parish to the Priory of Kells (in Ossory). His descendants are traced, for several generations, in the Abstract of the Register of Kells Priory, as follows:  Roland above was but a mere child, at the death of his father, William Fitz Maurice, some time before March 28th, 1374. He was still a minor, March 8th, 1390. He was appointed Keeper of the Peace for Co. Kilkenny, in 1405, and again in 1410. In the later year, he, and his wife, Margaret, had a grant of 1 messuage and 1 1/2 carucates of land in Kenokestoun. Published records mention him for the last time, in 1414, when the King granted him, for his services, a life pension of £12 a year. His son and heir was Richard Fitz Maurice ("Rold' fil' Wmi genuit Richm ", as shown in the Abstract), who, with his wife Johanna Whytte, is mentioned on the oldest of the family tombs in Burnchurch. Another Richard Fitz Maurice, or Baron, of Burnchurch (probably grandson of Richard, son of Richard), and Patrick St. Leger, chief of his nation, appear in 1502, as witnesses to the identification of the will of Sir James Butler Mac Richard, made in 1487. Roland Fitz Maurice, or Baron, otherwise "Royland Fitzgerald," probably son of Richard of 1502, was lord of Burnchurch, in 1527 (Raoulandus fitz Maurice, Baron do Ecca.Cremata, in Graves MSS). He was sheriff of Co. Kilkenny in 1535 and 1537, and, dying Feb. 1st, 1544-45, is buried, together with his wife, Anastatia St. Leger, in Burnchurch. He had at least three sons:

1~William Fitzgerald, or Baron, the eldest son and heir, who became a priest, and was appointed Vicar of Burnchurch, as appears from the following: "1546 (March 21). "Presentation of William Baron, otherwise Fitzgerald, son and heir of Rowland Fitzgerald, Baron of Burchchurch, to the vicarage of Burnchurch, otherwise Kiltrany, in the county of Kilkenny, vacant by the resignation of Richard Melley, and in the King's gift, pleno jure."[Pat.37 Hen. VII]
2~Peter Fitzgerald or Baron, who is referred to in the following entry: "1546 (Feb. 12). Pardon of Peter Fitzgerald, otherwise called Peter Baron, of Danganmore, son of Roland Fitzgerald, otherwise Roland Baron, late of Burnchurch, in the county of Kilkennt, horseman." [Pat. 37 Hen. VII] 
3~John. He became his father's successor and heir -- apparently by the renunciation of his rights by his eldest brother, William. He was a Justice of the Peace for the Co. Kilkenny, in 1552, in which year he met his death, as the following shows: "1557 (Oct. 6). Pardon to Grace fitz John, kern, indicted as one of a bank who attacked John Fitzgerald alias Baron, of Burnechurche, a Justice of the Peace of the County of Kilkenny, in the 6th year of Edward VI., at Maillardeston, when the said John was murdered by Edmund moor O'Clery." [see Fiants of Philip and Mary] He is buried with his parents at Burnchurch, but only the year of his death, 1552, and the prayer for his soul, may now be deciphered on the tomb.
1~Richard Baron, son of John, was but a few years old at the death of his father in 1552. During his minority he appears to have been in (the) charge of a gentleman named Patrick Sherlock. He came of age about 1569; and was still living in 1594. He died within the next eight years.
1~Roland, his son, succeeded, before Nov. 4th, 1602. On the 15th June, 1607, livery was granted "to Roland Fitzgerald of Kiltranyheyn alias Burnechurch, Esqr., son of Richard Fitzgerald, late of same, deceased. Fine £50." Roland was still living in 1641, but died soon after, leaving by his wife, Anstace, eldest daughter of Tobert Rothe of Kilkenny (1550-1622), at least two sons, Richard, his successor; and Edward.
Richard Fitzgerald, or Baron, joined the Confederate Movement; lost his ancestral estate  consisting of 816 acres 3r. in Burnchurch, 244ac. in Bueper, now Viper, and 134ac, in Bowley -- under Cromwell, in 1653; and was transplanted to Connaught in 1654. He is said to have left at his death two children, then minors, viz. Garret and Oner, who both died without issue. This statement does not exactly tally with the fact that on the 6th July, 1663, the claim of "John Fitzgerald and Eliz., his wife, relict of Richard, and Simon ye sonn, Richd. ye father, and Rowland ye grandfather," was heard in the Court of Claims for the Trial of Innocents, and a decree of Nocent returned. It appears certain, however, that the issue of Richard Fitzgerald did not continue the family. The representatives of the family then devolved upon his nephew Captain James Fitzgerald, son of his brother Edward.  Captain Fitzgerald was an officer in Colonel James Dempsy's Regiment, serving under the Prince of Conde, and with other officers in the Regiment, petitioned King Charles the Second, in 1660, to restore them their rightful estates in Ireland. Captain Fitzgerald affixes his signature to this document as "Capn. James Fitz Gerald of Burnchurch." Of the Captain nothing further appears to be known, except that, in a pedigree, certified by the Ulster King-of-Arms, he is said to have settled down in the Co. Waterford, when he married Slany, daughter of Donald More O'Brien, of Comeragh, and became the ancestor of the Barons of that region. Father Patrick Fitzgerald who was parish priest of St. Patrick's, Kilkenny, for 30 years or more, and died Oct. 3rd, 1749, is stated on his monument in St. Patrick's churchyard, to have sprung from the noble family of the Fitzgeralds of Burnchurch, and from the noble family of Rothes. It is probable, therefore, that he was descended in the direct line from the Captain's grandparents, Roland Fitzgerald and Anstace Rothe.  
Burnchurch Castle
Burnchurch Castle, the seat of the Fitzgerald, or Baron, family, is still in good preservation, is a minor branch of the family, but of consequence withal, was also seated at Burnchurch, holding their land, at a nominal rent, from the lords of the castle. The first of them we meet with, is Garret fitz Thomas Fitzgerald, whose monument is, probably, that now broken in Burnchurch graveyard. The translation of the inscription on his monument (given by Carrigan) is[Here lies Garret ? fitz] Thomas Fitzgeralde, late of Burnchurch, gentleman, Constable of the Castle of Kilkenny, who died March 1st 1586. He was pardoned in 1561-2, and again appears in 1569. His daughter, Elizabeth, was the wife of John Walsh of Kilcraggan, who died in 1636. He was, presumably, the father of William Fitzgerald of Burnchurch, gent., who received a pardon in 1602, was Constable of the Barony of Knocktopher in 1608, and was still living Aug. 18th, 1623, at which last date he held part of the townland of Burnchurch, paying thereout a chiefry of 12s. a year to the lord of the castle, and head of the family, viz. Roland fitz Richard Fitzgerald. A William Fitzgerald forfeited 28ac. in Burnchurch, and 197ac. in Oldtown, under Cromwell, in 1653, and was transplanted to Connaught the following year. He may have been the William Fitzgerald of 1608 and 1623, above, or possibly his son or grandson. William Fitzgerald, of Lisdowney, who died in 1695, was, perhaps, a descendant of Garret fitz Thomas, of Burnchurch. In his will he mentions his sons,  Alexius, Garret, Edward, Thomas and Nicholas, and brother, Doctor Edmond Fitzgerald. From Alexius, who died in 1694, leaving several children, viz. William, John, Garret, Mary, Anastatia, Bridget, Amy and Anne, would seem to descend the Fitzgeralds of Jessfield and Ballintaggert, Co. Tipperary.
Burnchurch Castle, is now a National Monument, is a well-preserved 15th century Norman tower house with a round gate tower, situated in County Kilkenny, Ireland. Burnchurch Castle and tower, along with the Church of Ireland church, and the lime trees became a National Monument in 1993. It is said to have been built and owned by the Fitzgeralds of the house of Desmond in 15th century and continued to be occupied until 1817. It is 6.5 km (4.0 mi) south west of Kilkenny, off the Clonmel Road, 6 km from Ballybur near Cuffesgrange, outside the town of Callan, nearby to Kells Priory. It is located in Burnchurch parish and was in the barony of Shillelogher. The 12.5m high circular turret still remains. A walled courtyard was originally attached to the castle. It is six storeys high, and has an unusually large number of passages and chambers inside the walls. A great hall was formerly attached to the tower's outside wall, but this has now vanished, as has most a bawn with a 41 foot tall tower at one corner. Old drawings, date unknown, show remnants of buildings. Many tower houses have mural chambers and passages hidden away within their walls, though few have the number and complexity of those found in Burnchurch Castle. Beneath there is a vault with the principal chamber above, lying just below a gabled roof. There are numerous narrow rooms in the walls, including a "secret room" on the fourth floor. A curved outside staircase still provides access to the three upper floors of this little tower so it can be explored. It has mullioned windows and is noteworthy for its finely carved fireplace with a joggle voussoir arch and its tall round chimney. The rounded chimney may be a later improvement. It is broadly similar in size and layout to Clara Castle in Clara, but differs in that the gable-end walls are carried up one story higher than the other two walls and form to elongated turrets with their won rampart walls at the highest part of the building. Burnchurch Castle and Clara are good examples of the characteristic Irish-style of stepped battlements. It is known for being one of several Irish towers with the slightly narrower sides of the castle extending up an additional floor, creating in essence a pair of tower wide turrets.

The Barrons, or Fitzgeralds, of Burnchurch: A description of the ancestors of the Fitzgeralds of Brunchurch, as given by Eric St. John Brooks from the book Knights' Fees in Counties Wexford, Carlow and Kilkenny, Irish Manuscripts Commission, Dublin Stationery Office, 1950. In 1247 William, son of Maurice, held half a knight's fee at 'Kiltrafh' (presumed to be Burnchurch in Co. Kilkenny). His father was Maurice son of Maurice who was presumably, and was claimed in the reign of Henry VI by his descendant to be, a son of Maurice FitzGerald. This Maurice son of Maurice was the original grantee of Kiltranie or Burnchurch, as appears from his charter and that of his son William of the church of Kiltranie to the Priory of Kells in Ossory [Irish Monastic and Episcopal Deeds, p. 307]. And he was also enfeoffed of 'five knights' fees in the manor of 'Morice Castell in the territory of Othoyghfynglas, lying in length from the sea to the summit of the mountain of Croghan, and in breadth from the land of the Earl of Wexford up to Botiller's land,' to quote from the petition of his descendant, Sir Roland FitzMaurice, in the reign of Henry VI, who calls himself 'the lawful heir descended in right line from Maurice Fitzgerald knight, who laboured in the conquest of Ireland [Exchr. Roll (Rot. Mem. 24 Hy. VI) quoted by H.F. Hore in Journal, R.S.A.I., 1892, p.362]. This record is of considerable interest. The land in question was presumably held directly of the Crown, as it does not occur in the Marshal feodaries. It lay north of the barony of Gorey (Co. Wexford) to the south of the manor of Arklow, the Butler's territory, and north of the Marshals' Wexford fief, and extended from the sea inland to Mt. Croghan. Othoyghfynglas seems to preserve the sept-name Ui Fenechglais or Ui-Enechglias, seated in the barony of Arklow [Onomast. Goid. ; Top. Poems, notes 364, 452]. There is a reference to it in the charter of the first Theobald Walter to the monastry of Arklow [Dugdale, Monasticum, vi. 1128], the lands granted including the seashore south of the Avoca river up to the land of Morice son of Morice. There is a further reference to this territory in the time of Maurice's gransdon, Maurice son of William, for c. 1280-5 Walter de Hertun' quitted claim to Sir Theobald le Botiller to Tacsylan in the tenement of Maurice son of William [Ormond Deeds, i. 168]. This Maurice son of William was great-grandfather of Maurice son William who held a quarter knight's fee in Killesk (co. Wexford) in 1324. In regard to the half knight fee at Burnchurch, Brooks offers the following. In 1247, William, son of Maurice, held the fee at Kiltrafh. This is the modern Burnchurch, a name which Canon Carrigan states is as old as the year 1374 [iii. 375, quoted above]. He offers no derivation for the Irish name, the proper form of which seems doubtful. It is generally written as Kiltranyn. The earliest form in the records is Kiltrame (or perhaps Kiltranie) as appears in Irish Monastic and Episcopal Deeds, p. 307. The form in the 1247 feodary (Kiltrafh) suggests that the "n" in the name should perhaps be read as "u." It is shown [above] that Maurice, son of Maurice, i.e., a younger son of Maurice FitzGerald, was the original grantee of Kiltranyn. He gave the church of Kiltrame (? Kiltranie) to the Priory of Kells in Ossory, according to the Registry, at some time during the episcopate of Hugh le Rous (1202-1218). He was also enfeoffed in the manor of 'Morice Castell' [above]. He witnessed William FitzGeoffrey's charter to Kells in 1215 [Chartae, Privilegia et Immunitates., p. 17].
The Register of Kells names Maurice's son and heir as William, son of Maurice, who confirmed the church of Kiltranyn to the Priory. William, son of Maurice confirmed, as overlord, a charter of c. 1225 concerning Tulachany or Grange, co. Kilkenny [Duiske Charters, no. 15]. He is the William, son of Maurice, who held Burnchurch in the feodary of 1247. About the year 1240 he witnessed charters concerning Erleystown, co. Kilkenny [Ormond Deeds, i. 92, 93]. The Kells Register gives his son and heir as Maurice, son of William; and for him there is independent evidence. For the lands of Sir Maurice, son of William, in the above-named fee of 'Morice Castell' in the north of the barony of Gorey are mentioned c. 1280-5. He is presumably the Maurice, son of William, who married Gila, duaghter of Maurice of London [Cal. Papal Regrs., Letters, vol. i., p.368]. Maurice, son of William, was succeeded, according to the Kells Register, by his son Maurice, son of Maurice. He is the Maurice, son of Maurice, son of William, who occurs in co. Kilkenny in 1297 [Cal. Just. Rolls, i. 141] and in 1301 witnessed a deed in the court of Lady Joan de Valence, Countess of Pembroke [History of the Town and County of Wexford, Hore, vol. iii, p. 85]. In 1307 Maurice, son of Maurice, was granted 2 marks rent, namely for 1/2 carucate in Corbali and from part of the mill of Jeripont [Ormond Deeds, i. 411]. This Corbali is Hamundsboly (now Cotterellsbooly) in Stonecarthy, co. Kilkenny, of later deeds. In 1317 he held the 1/2 fee in Burnchurch, which is listed as Kiltramyn or Kyltuyn depending on which record is referenced [see note below].  The Kells Register gives Maurice, son of Maurice, for son and heir William, son of Maurice; and one version of the 1317 feodary has, in agreement, William, son of Maurice, holding the 1/2 fee in Burnchurch; so that Maurice, son of Maurice, presumably died shortly after 1317. In 1325/6, Mora, widow of Maurice, son of Maurice, occurs [Ormond Deeds, i. 577]. About the year 1326 William, son of Maurice, came into Chancery, with William Outlawe, a wealthy Kilkenny banker, son of Dame Alice Kyteler, the reputed witch, and recognised for their deed an agreement by which Maurice, son and heir of William, son of Maurice, should marry Margaret, daughter of William Outlawe, Outlawe paying to William, son of Maurice, 100 marks silver, and William, son of Maurice, undertaking not to alienate any of his lands and tenements which he gave on that day to Maurice and Margaret, saving one messuage and 16 acres which he held in hamundsboly, co. Kilkenny, of the house of St. John of Jerusalem [Cal. Pat. and Close Rolls, Ireland, 35b.]. This deed is not dated, but it is among the entries of the year 1326-7; so that we may take it that William, son of Maurice, was then alive. Yet in 1324 Maurice, son of William, held a quarter knight's fee at Killesk, barony of Shelbourne, co. Wexford [1324 feodary]. It seems, therefore, that William, son of Maurice, had enfeoffed his son in Killesk, whose later history shows other examples of settlement by the head of the house on sons and younger sons. In 1336 William, son of Maurice of Kilkavan (? recte Kiltrauyn) complained of robbery at Killesk [Hore, vol. iii, p.238]. In 1346 William, son of Maurice, and John his son, released the messuage and 16 acres of land in Hamundesboli "in Ospitali," near Insnag, to William, son of Richard Coterel of Kells. The pedigree given in the Kells Register does not mention this John, who may have been a younger son enfeoffed in this property [Ormond Deeds, i. 782-4]. The subsequent history of the famliy is given by Carrigan and Burtchaell ['Geraldines of co. Kilkenny,' Journal, R.S.A.I., 1892, p. 362 f.].  Of the Geraldine fee at Killesk (co. Wexford), the Fitzgeralds continued  here, and Killesk was granted to a younger branch. William Barron, late of Killesk, died in 1568, leaving Roland, his son and heir, and seised of the castle and lands of Killesk held of the Queen for 1/2 knight's fee [Hore, iii. 239]. Roland died in 1573, and Richard his son and heir enfeoffed Richard FitzJohn, Baron of Burnchurch, who enfeoffed his younger son of Burnchurch [Hore, loc. cit; Burtchaell, op. cit.]

Note on the feodaries:
The 1247 feodary (The de Valence Purparty) was taken from "Chancery Miscellanea", P.R.O., London (File 88/4, no. 70), collated with a list in the Calendar Patent Rolls.

The 1317 feodary (share of Hugh le Despenser and Alianora his wife) was taken from "Chancery Miscellanea", P.R.O., London (File 9/24). Another account of the feodary (the partitiion of Co. Kilkenny in 1317) is given in Addl. MS. 4791 in the British Museum.

The 1324 feodary was printed in the Calendar of Inquisitions post mortem, representing the inquisition on the Irish estate of Aymer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke and taken at Wexford on July 16, 1324.

CLONAMERY CASTLE
Clonamery Castle, a parish of Clonamery, barony of Ida. A castle belonging to Mac an Bharuin, alias Fitzgerald, alias Baron, stood  here adjoining a small ancient ruined church. Edward FitzGerald was the last of the line who held property here in Cloon in the late 17th century. Location: parish of Clonamery. David FitzMilo FitzDavid is claimed to have built a stone castle here in the 13th century.  CLONEAMERY, or CLOWEN, a parish, in the barony of IDA, county of KILKENNY, and province of LEINSTER, 1 mile (S. E.) from Innistiogue; containing 777 inhabitants. This parish, which is situated on the left bank of the river Nore, and on the mail coach road from Dublin to New Ross, by way of Thomastown, comprises 3277 statute acres, of which l70 are woodland, 648 mountain and waste, 129 bog, and the remainder arable and pasture land. It is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Ossory, forming the corps of the prebend of Cloneamery in the cathedral of St. Canice, Kilkenny, and part of the union of Innistiogue, in the patronage of the Bishop. The tithes amount to £135. In the R. C. divisions also it forms part of the union or district of Innistiogue; the chapel is at Clediagh. Here is a private school, in which about 60 boys and 30 girls are educated. Bishop Pocockc bequeathed 116 plantation acres of mountain land, called Bishop's Hill, and worth about £50 per annum, for the instruction of children, which is held by the Incorporated School Society. On a steep mound near the river stand the ruins of Clowen castle, belonging to the Fitzgeralds, and singularly divided into two parts. There are also some remains of an old church. In a romantic glen up a creek of the Nore is Clodagh waterfall; it is a cascade of great beauty falling down a rugged precipice of about 60 feet, and from the fissures of the overhanging rocks on both sides spring a great variety of trees and shrubs.
Genealogical researcher C. L. Barnett: his 1923 letter:

Excerpts from a letter written to James A. Barron from Genealogical researcher C. L. Barnett of Washington on February 24, 1923 "Mr. Barron: After so long a time I am sending you all the gleaming history about Barrons that I have so far been able to collect. I know you would feel gratified if you knew just how much time I have given to this work, and how sincerely anxious I was to trace some clear and direct fact for you. We go way back to Albert Wells records and O'Harts gives us the original family history. I have talked with the best genealogist here, and also a noted one from New York City, and they both say that we have to take history as we find it for mistakes, occasionally, but in the main correct.\ Albert Wells has the reputation of making mistakes so I think we will accept them in the main, but will depend especially upon O'Hart, who is a through and accurate historian. Any questions you wish to ask, or anything you wish to suggest, I am right at your service, and with interest, I am. Yours Sincerely, C.L. Barnett." AMERICAN FAMILY ANTIQUITY, BY ALBERT WELLS, The BARRONS, now so widely dispersed throughout the County of Waterford in Ireland, are a branch of the great house of Offaley, and were formerly Barons of Burnchurch in the neighboring County of Kilkenny.Maurice Fitzgerald, the first knight of Kerry, known generally as the Black Knight, and one of the first Norman Invaders of Ireland son of John Fitzgerald by Honora O'Connor, his wife, and lineally descended from Gerald, Lord of Offaley, son of Maurice, who founded the Fitzgerald family in Ireland. \ In 1173, Maurice Fitzgerald was appointed by Henry the second, chief Governor of Ireland, and he and his descendants got large grants of land in many counties, including Kerry. Maurice died A.D. 1177, and was buried in the Abbey of the Grey Foiars at Waxford County.1\\ The last branch of the Fitzgeralds, who were Barons of Burnchurch, retained for several years a station of rank, and influence, but, involved in the troubles which marked the early part of the 17th century, they were forced to abandon their native County, and settle in the bordering County of Waterford, to escape the rancor of persecution and to elude its vigilance, they assumed, instead of their family name of Fitzgerald, the surname of BARRON only. The Fitzgeralds of Clonanerry, aka Barron, styled Barons of Burnchurch were a collateral branch of the Burnchurch family, and assumed the name of Barron for a similar reason. The branch held lands by military tenure, under the Earls of Desmon. By the Patent rolls of the 39th Queen Elizabeth it appears that her Majesty confirmed on 7th of July 1597 to Edward Fitzgerald of Rathsullagh, gentlemen, various properties in different parts of Ireland, among others the Rectory or parsonage of Burnchurch, with the lands, titles & Etc. and the Estate of the late Monastery of Kells. By an inquisition taken at Thomastown, 8th of August 1623, the possessions annexed to the Baronial Castle of Burnchurch, all in the county of of Kilkenny. Sir James Ware in his "Bishops of Ireland" says MILO BARRON, an Augustin Canon, and Prior of Innistiock, was consecrated Bishop of Ossory in 1527 but held his Priory by dispensation until the visitation of religious houses at which time he surrendered it by deed to King Henry VIII. He was called "Barron" as being of that branch of the Fitzgeralds who were Palatine Barrons of Burnchurch, in the County of Kilkenny, originally created by the Earl Palatine of those parts, the Earl of Desmond. Before he was advanced to the Bishopric he added a new steeple to the cloister of his Priory. After his consecration, he went to his Episcopal Palace at Kilkenny and made a present of a pastoral stall and a marble table to his Cathedral. He died full of years in 1551, of grief, and was buried with his people in the Monastery of Cunistiock. The same historian also particularizes ROLAND BARRON aka Fitzgerald, who was consecrated Archbishop of Cashel in 1553, and died in 1561. NICOLAS BARRON, another of the family was Mitred Abbot, of Jer point in 1618. He made several grants to the Roths of Kilkenny. 1) O'Harts Irish Pedigrees\ One of the Barron's in America By Albert Wells This family was founded in America by ELLIS BARRON, one of the family of Palatine Barron, of Burnchurch, in the County of Waterford, Ireland, and related to MILO BARRON, ROLAND BARRON, and NICHOLAS BARRON. above Ellis was born in Ireland, probably Waterford, about 1600 and emigrated to America about 1640.

The Irish Ancestry of President Coolidge Author Unknown It is not generally known that President Coolidge has some Irish blood in his veins, yet such is the fact. The Coolidge's came from Avranche in Normandy and settled in England after the Norman Conquest. Professor Guy Coolidge of Hobart College who has recently been investigating the subject, traces the Coolidge family back to Thomas Coyne, a Norman, who was born in 1472. A descendant, John Coolidge, came to New England in 1630 and settled in Waterford, Massachusetts. Simon Coolidge, his son, who was born in 1632, married HANNAH BARRON, daughter of Ellis Barron, on November 17, 1657. It is from this alliance of marriage that Calvin Coolidge descends.


Miles fitz David, 1st Baron of Iverk b.@ 1145, d1215 Having landed at Waterford with the first wave of invaders, Miles, the son of the bishop of St Davids, was rewarded with the Barony of Iverk in the south of Kilkenny in 1170. This grant of Iverk to Miles is the only recorded grant of land by Strongbow in Ossery. Miles had accompanied Raymond le Gros to Limerick in 1176. He was left there in command of the garrison of 50 knights and 300 bowmen, but they were forced to withdraw. O'Hart lists the Grants as among the chief families settling in Waterford in 1177. Miles established two chief manorial centres defended by earthwork castles, at Portnascully and Clone (Clonamery) at either end of his cantred. A lesser manorial center and castle was founded at Listerlin. He and his descendants held this area for nearly 150 years. A southern manor is known to have been established at Grannagh, moving the baronial center down the river Suir from Portnascully. The leaders of the original invasion soon died. Strongbow, Robert fitz Stephen, Raymond le Gros, Maurice fitz Gerald were all dead by 1188. Henry II made his youngest son John Lord of Ireland. And John came to Ireland in 1185 to try to consolidate royal power. John did this by making more land grants, and also by changing many of the original land grants in favour of his own followers. Among the best known of these was Theobald Walter, butler to the king and founder of the house of Butler in Ormond. John made another visit to Ireland as king in 1210 (the last reigning English king to do so for nearly 200 years), but there is no record of Miles having been involved with this visit. Miles, named as fitz Bishop, witnessed the charter of the town of Kilkenny. He was also noted in 1200 as having granted the town of Techomicham to the abbot of Valle Dei, in 1213 to have paid 30 marks to place his son, in 1215 to have paid the king 40 marks to exchange his hostages. He had three sons, David fitz Milo (his heir), Henry fitz Milo (who granted Athnegaddy to the monastery at Kells) and Sir William fitz Milo (probably the first to have adopted the surname "Grant"). Surnames were not normal among the first Norman arrivals in Ireland. The usual way of being known was to use "fitz" to indicate "son of". Eventually the younger son took nicknames to differentiate their families. Names like "Walsh" came from "le waleis" meaning "the Welshman", and "Grace" from "le Gros". "Grant" came from "le Grand" meaning strong or big, and changed to its present form with the passage of time. Among the Carew manuscripts is a pedigree appended, perhaps by Sir George Carew though it could have been earlier, which shows the Barons of Iverk taking the surname Grant between 1250 and 1300. The balance of evidence at that time would support this conclusion. In addition a Jacobite peerage in 1745 of James Grant as Baron of Iverk, shows that the family continued to trace their roots back to the old Barons of Iverk for the next 500 years. The first centre of the barony was at Portnascully, and there is still a large earthwork fort there. Carrigan describes it as "an immense circuit, deep wide fosse and lofty protecting citadel". It lies on a small tidal stream flowing into the Suir half way between Waterford and Carrick. The mote was 30 feet high, with a flat circular top 35ft across. The bailey is rectangular and defended on one side by the stream and on the other by the wide ditch. The original was wooden and has of course vanished. It was the normal practice by the Normans in their conquest of Ireland to hold the land with mote and bailey castles, which were superseded by stone castles as soon as time and money allowed. Once the Normans had conquered an area, usually peace and stability followed. By and large the native Irish remained to herd cattle and till the soil. Only the Gaelic chiefs were displaced. Miles, the first Baron died in 1215. And was succeeded by his eldest son, David, the second baron. Our story continues with one of his younger sons, William fitz Milo, also known as William le Grand the Elder. The barons used a seal of the Fitz Gerald saltire with four stars, whilst William used a seal with a mitre. On Miles' death the family had consolidated its position in Ireland. They had a large barony in the south of  County Kilkenny, a part of the country that was relatively free from wars, and things were looking pretty good for them.
David fitz Milo, 2nd Baron: In a charter of 1239,signed at Westminster, he gave as a gift to the Abbey of Kilculiheen of one tenth of all his income, plus the townland of Ullid and a number of chapels. Little else is known about him. It may be that he gave away too much of his wealth. On his death his son succeeded him in about 1247. He built a new stone castle on a mote in the north of the Barony at Clonamary. This period coincided with an optimum in the climate, and temperatures reached a maximum during the 13th century. The conditions for crops like wheat were better than they had been for a thousand years, and the population of Ireland and indeed the whole of Europe was growing. This meant that there was a supply of colonists coming over from England to take over new land that was suitable for the Norman form of agriculture. Irish and Norman families in the colonised areas freely intermarried. The Norman lords settled into Irish ways, both cultural and legal, when it suited them to do so. But in spite of the intermingling between the Anglo Normans and the Irish in the colonised parts of the country, there was a great divide between these colonised parts and the rest of the country.
Milo fitz David, 3rd Baron: Both 2nd and 3rd barons are noted as holding 7 knight's fees in the feodaries of 1247 [source: Knights' Fees in counties Wexford, Carlow, Kilkenny]. And there are minor references to him in 1286, firstly for owing half a mark for not attending a jury in Kilkenny, and secondly for receiving £4 in Waterford from Walter de Long for his debts.
The 4th and 5th Barons: The Barony passed on the death of the 3rd Baron to his son Milo fitz Milo in about 1287. The 4th Baron was summoned to fight for the king in the war against Scotland in 1302, and it would appear that he probably died in this war. The title then passed to his brother Roger fitz Milo, the 5th and last Baron Iverk, who held the title from 1302 until he sold it for no clear reasons to the Butlers in 1320. His seal on the sale document still exists in Dublin and shows the Fitzgerald saltire with 4 stars.
On June 20, 1314 an Extent of the Barony of Overke appears in the Red Book of  Ormond. Among those in the list include:Roger fitz Milo, Henry fitz Henry de Rupe (Rowyr), Agatha filia Maurice (Lesteling), John fitz Alexander de Rupe (Corcleyn), Radulfus de Denne (Kylgrelan), Michael Sparke (Ballicoyne), John of Balliagueran, Thomas fitz William de Sco. Albino (Ballymacallgorme), Philip fitz walter Mancell, John & David fitz Philip fitz Milo, Theobald le Botiller & Johanna his wife, the four persons listed above at Odae, Thomas de Denne (Kilcrone), Maurice fitz David (Donkyt), Philip fitz William Lerchedekyn (Oryanan), Richard le Poer (Rathforby), Robert Tyrmore (Tyrmor), John fitz William (Portenhull), Nicholas Blundell (Corlodymor ( Leghlinensi), Herbet de Marreys (Polrohan), John de la Rockell (Croc' & Ballybrameth), Philip fitz William Bronyn (Polroan), Alicia Argentyme (Adbary), Matthew fitz Oliver (Catrykmoclagh), Walter le Poer (Ballyheyn), Maurice fitz William (Ballyleyn), William de Rockell (Kylroske), Edmund le Gras (Ownyng), Roger fitz Milo & Mabillia his wife, David le Graunt (Hyllyd & Ballytarsin), William le Graunt (Clontory), David le Graunt (Ballycorry), William Graunt (Kymacboyth), Robert Wodlok (Douncole), Theobald le Poer (Loghmoing), Gerald fitz Henry (Polesculle & Loghmoynyn). Among the jurors witnessing the extent included: John fitz Alexander, Maurice fitz David, David Grege, Meiler fitz Roger, John fitz Reymund, Andrew fitz David, David fitz David, Richard fitz William, Hnery Lydyr, David fitz Reymund, Henry Cadegan, Griffin fitz Matthew, Maurice fitz Matthew, Peter Coule, Gilbert fitz Andrew, Philip fitz Milo, John fitz Milo, and Thomas Box. The sale was in two parts, the first in 1314 and the second in 1320. Documents show that he sold the barony for 8 marks annual rent, which seems a modest price to have received. In 1320 Roger was given as holding court at Polroan, the stone castle that had become the Grants' stronghold (it has now entirely disappeared). The castle was excluded from the sale, as were the homage and services of Herbert de Marisco in Polroan, Richard le Poer in Rathcurby and David Grant in Ballytarsney. One can only postulate as to the reasons for this very odd sale. But it seems to me that the most likely reason is the sheer might of the Butlers, who probably made the fifth Baron an offer that he could not refuse. Indeed the murder of his son in 1313 may have been part of the pressure to sell. The Ormond deeds show that Sir Edmond Butler acquired a great deal of property in Co Kilkenny at this time. The north of Co Kilkenny reverted back to Irish rule under the MacGillapatricks by 1349, But the southern part continued under Norman rule. With the sale of the barony, whether it was a free sale or a forced one, the Grants henceforth held their lands as tenants of the Butlers, the Earls of Ormond. However the family always seems to have remembered its past, and amazingly in 1745 one James Grant, soldier and mathematician, had conferred on him the title "Baron D'Iverque" by Bonnie Prince Charlie. He was declared to be a descendant in a direct line from the old Barons of Iverk and the Knights of Glen Grant (Glen Grant is part of Iverk, at the very tip of Co. Kilkenny). He was the colonel in command of Prince Charlie's artillery. I have been unable to trace what happened to his family, but they did not return to Ireland. Maybe one day they will be found still living in France. Throughout the 13th century the English kings, through their deputies in Dublin, held less influence on the local people, whether rich or poor, than did the local Earl. In 1217 the Magna Carta was published in an Irish version, and directed that English Common Law should apply in Ireland. Indeed in 1277 the Archbishop of Cashel petitioned Edward to make English law compulsory over Irish law, but it took until 1292 for him to decree in council that any Irishman had the right to demand the protection of English law. Indeed neither Henry II nor Edward I were to visit Ireland, and it was to John Wogan, his Justiciar, that Edward gave the responsibility of enforcing English law. He held Ireland's first real parliament in 1297, but was able to accomplish very little.Then following the English defeat at Bannockburn in 1314, the High Kingship of Ireland was offered by the Irish to Robert Bruce's brother Edward, in an attempt by the Irish to rid themselves of the Normans. Edward Bruce landed with an army, and stayed until he was defeated by an Anglo-Norman force in 1318. It was during this period that the three great Earldoms which were to dominate Irish history for many centuries to follow, were created. The Earldom of Kildare in 1316, of Ormond in 1328 and Desmond in 1329. But the "sons of the Bishop, David FitzGerald" did not die out with the sale of the Barony. Cosimo Gherardini, Duke of Florence B: 0870 Florence, Firenze, Toscana, Italy D: 0920 Florence, Firenze, Toscana, Italy M:

He mustered many armies against the Irish, and due to his harsh methods as Justiciar, he received criticism from King Henry III of England.  He was the brother of David FitzMaurice FitzGerald and Thomas FitzMaurice FitzGerald. He succeeded to the title of Lord of Offaly on 01/15/1204, and was invested as a knight in July 1217, at the age of 23. In 1224 he founded South Abbey, Youghal, the proto-friary of the Irish Province of the Observant Franciscans, dedicated to St. Nicholas. Maurice was summoned to London to accompany King Henry III of England to Poitou and Gascony in October 1229. He was appointed Justiciar of Ireland in September 1232 and held the post until 1245. His reputation was marred by rumours that he had contrived the death of Richard Marshal, 3rd Earl of Pembroke in 1234. FitzGerald met Marshal at the Battle of the Curragh on 1 April, where Marshal was wounded and died shortly after. It was rumoured that Marshal had been betrayed. In February 1235, the King criticised him for his proceedings in office, and described him as "little pleasant, nay, beyond measure harsh in executing the King's mandates". The same year, he took part in the subjugation of Connacht. In the years 1241 and 1242, and later in 1246, 1247, and 1248 he mustered armies against the Irish. In the Annals of the Four Masters, 1247, it was recorded that Melaghlin O' Donnell, the Lord of Tyrconnell was slain by Maurice FitzGerald. In 1257, Maurice and his Norman army engaged the forces led by Goffraidh Ó Dónaill, King of Tyrconnell at the Battle of Credan, north of what is now County Sligo. The two men fought each other in single combat and both were gravely wounded. Maurice died of his injuries at Youghal Monastery, wearing the habit of the Franciscans, on 20 May 1257, aged 63 years. In the Annals of the Four Masters, 1257 his death is described thus: "Maurice FitzGerald for some time Lord Justice of Ireland and the destroyer of the Irish, died." (In Irish this reads as: "Muiris macGerailt lustis Ereann re h-edh diosccaoilteach Gaoidheal d'écc".) The Franciscan Friary of South Abbey, Youghal was founded in 1224 by Maurice FitzGerald, 2nd Lord of Offaly, and he was buried there in 1257. His grandson Thomas FitzGerald had founded the Dominican Priory of North Abbey, Youghal. Samuel Lewis in his Topographical Dictionary of Ireland written in 1837 said of it: In 1224, Maurice FitzGerald founded a Franciscan monastery on the south side of the town, which was the first religious foundation of the order in Ireland. It is recorded that he originally intended the building for a castle, but that, in consequence of some harsh treatment which the workmen received from his eldest son, he changed his design and determined to devote it to religious uses: but, dying in 1257, it was completed in 1260 by his youngest son, Thomas. The exact year of when the first Franciscans came to Youghal, is uncertain and some sources cite 1224, and others 1226. Either way both dates are close to the lifetime of St. Francis of Assisi. The Friary were dissolved in the 16th century, and no remains of it can be seen today.  He was succeeded as Lord of Offaly by his son, Maurice FitzGerald, 3rd Lord of Offaly, rather than the rightful successor, his grandson, Maurice, son of his eldest son, Gerald.

Simon I. Smith Cawthon

Very little is known about the early life of Simon Cawthon, but it is understood that his father, William Wilson Cawthon, was a large slave owner indicating reasonable wealth. At least his father was able to afford him a quality education, which resulted in him earning a medical degree. Cawthon was born in 1836 to William W. and Charity Gertrude (Smith) Cawthon, and he was married to Miss Lydia Pines upon reaching adulthood. Their lives were interrupted while Cawthon served as a private in Kolb’s Batter, Alabama Light Artillery, for the Confederate Army. When the Cawthons settled in Andalusia, Dr. Cawthon could have easily become the leading physician of the small developing town. However, he chose to devote most of his time to preaching the gospel and converting others to New Testament Christianity. Just imagine the state of the young town when Dr. Cawthon arrived. It did not have a railroad, so it was quite rural. The few stores and even the courthouse at the time were all wooden buildings. Cawthon began to preach by traveling around the area by horseback and road cart and eventually by horse and buggy. There were few places in this section of South Alabama that he did not visit and preach the gospel. No gathering was too small or large for him to share the story of Christ. He conducted meetings in schoolhouses and brush arbors, and he also made many converts by stopping in private homes. Dr. Cawthon’s zeal and earnest sacrifices made a great impression on those who knew him, and many regarded him as a “hard” preacher. He had no compromises to offer anyone regarding his teaching of God’s word. Brother W.T. “Tip” Grider, a later pioneer evangelist, stated, “Cawthon knew and believed all the Lord said, and he insisted if man wanted to be saved, he must obey the will of the Lord.” Cawthon once conducted a gospel meeting at Hamilton’s Cross Roads for 40 days in 1888 and used one subject, “Preach the Word!” This was his theme regardless of the subject, whether it was how to study the word, “What Must I Do to Be Saved?,” or any other. Cawthon was also an able debater and was often thrown into religious discussions. He was quite able to fend the truth against any opponent. Even though he may have had some enemies, those who knew him best loved and admired him for his great determination to place the whole truth before the world. He did just that and even his death came during a gospel meeting, which he shared with Brother Ernest Garrett in August 1913. Cawthon’s dear wife, Lydia Elizabeth Pynes, daughter of Fair and Maryanna (Creech) Pynes, preceded him in death by four years. A fitting tribute was paid her in an obituary written by J.M. Barnes for the Gospel Advocate, which was published in Nashville, Tenn., on November 17, 1921, page 1128.  She died on a Sunday, April 25, 1909, at their home in Andalusia. A Mr. Emerson, who had lived in Andalusia and knew Sister Cawthon well, stated with feeling, “That was a good old woman. I wish I thought my chances for heaven were as good as hers.” Simon I. S. Cawthon and wife, Lydia Elizabeth, reared at least the following children: William C. W., b. 1859, d. 1927, m. Mary Alice Barron (1870-1941); Ella E.M., b. 1863, m. ? Lewis; and Joseph Speight Winfield, b. 1964-, d. 1932, m. Willie Emma Lloyd. These children reared their families in their hometown of Andalusia. These two men, Barron and Cawthon, and their families contributed greatly toward the establishment and maintenance of simple New Testament Christianity in Covington County and surrounding area.

Curtis Thomasson, Andalusia Star News, 04/13/2012


Simon I.S. Cawthon, was born in Georgia, but he moved with family to Henry County. The identity of his parents is not clear, but records reveal his father was prosperous and had a large number of slaves. This means Simon had significant advantages as a child, which would have included a good education even to the level of becoming a medical doctor. Simon was married in 1859 to Lydia Elizabeth Pynes, daughter of Fair Pynes (ca 1804-1854) and his wife, Maryanna Creech (ca 1810-after 1860). Simon and Lydia came to Andalusia between 1876 and 1878. They were the parents of several children including the following: Joseph S.W., m. Willie Lloyd; and W.C.W., m. Mary Alice Barron (1870-1941). When the 1900 census was taken in Covington County, Simon and Lydia were residing in Andalusia in the home of their son, W.C.W. Cawthon. W.C.W. was head of the household at 40 years of age with his wife, Mary Alice, who was 30. At the time they had two children, Sam K., 2; and an infant, one month. His parents, Simon and Lydia, were both 65 years old. Mary Alice (1870-1941) was the daughter of Samford P. and Susan (Darby) Barron of Pike County who moved to Andalusia circa 1875. In an article published in Sound Doctrine, a religious publication, in 1941, Bro. Tip Grider, an evangelist in Covington County, paid tribute to the evangelistic work of Simon Cawthon. Even though Simon was a trained medical doctor, he chose to devote his life to preaching the gospel in Andalusia and throughout South Alabama. When he arrived in Andalusia circa 1876, he worked with another preacher, Samford P. Barron, to build the first congregation of the church of Christ in the county. The town was small and quite sparsely populated at the time. Even the courthouse and the few buildings in Andalusia were of wooden structure at the time. Simon Cawthon loved the cause of Christ so much that he was willing to travel far and near by horseback, road cart and later by horse and buggy. There were few sections in South Alabama where he did not preach the gospel. He made converts through gospel meetings as well as in private homes where he would visit. The meetings were held in homes, schoolhouses, and brush arbors and anywhere people might gather. No crowd was too small or too large for him to address. Hundreds learned the truth of the gospel from the lips of Simon Cawthon. His fervent zeal and earnest sacrifices in life made a great impression on his listeners. Once he conducted a series of sermons at Hamilton's Crossroads for 40 days using the same subject, "Preach the Word." He was also a splendid writer and able debater. While some may not have appreciate his devotion to evangelism and his firm stand, those who knew him best, loved and admired him for his great determination to place the "whole truth before the world." Additional information is needed on Simon and Lydia's family, but as stated earlier, in 1900 they were residing in the home of their son, W.C.W. Cawthon. Possibly a grandson, Jimmy Cawthon, was married to Johnnie Kate Locklier (1901-1970). This couple lived in Birmingham and reared three children: Billy; Katharine, m. ? Bailey; and Frances Ruth. m. ? Gilchrist.

Dr. S.I.S. Cawthon

I am unable to learn very much of the early life of Dr. Cawthon. He was not interested in family history, neither did he glory in the flesh. Through the scant information I can secure he was born, possibly in Barbour County, Alabama. His father was a large slave owner. It is natural to suppose as a boy he had many advantages, such as a splendid education, which finished into the degree of M.D. Dr. Cawthon was born August 9, 1836. Just when he became a Christian is not known. He was married to Miss Lydia Pines, but I could not learn the date. To this union two sons and one daughter grew to above the average age. Dr. Cawthon came to Andalusia, Alabama, between 1876 and 1878. From this time he devoted most of his time to preaching the gospel. The town of Andalusia was young, not a railroad in that section. The few stores and even the Court House were all wooden buildings. Brother Cawthon no doubt could have become the leading physician of the now thriving city, had he devoted his efforts to the practice of medicine. But his love for the cause of Christ caused him to forsake all and count them as refuse in order to gain Christ. He traveled far and near, on horse back, road cart, and later by buggy. There were few places in the entire section of South Alabama where he did not preach the gospel. He made many converts by stopping in private homes. He conducted meetings in school houses and in arbors. No crowd was too small or too large for him to tell the sweet old story of Christ. Hundreds of people learned from his lips the truth of the gospel. His zeal and earnest sacrifices made a great impression on those who knew him. Dr. Cawthon was counted by many as a hard preacher. He had no compromises to offer anyone. He knew and believed all the Lord said, and insisted if man wanted to be saved he must obey the will of the Lord. He conducted a meeting at Hamilton's Cross Road once for forty days and used one subject, "Preach the Word!" This was his theme regardless of the subject, whether how to study the word, "What must I do to be saved," or any other subject. Brother Cawthon was an able debater and often was thrown into discussions. He was able to defend the truth against any opponent. Naturally Brother Cawthon had some enemies, some even among the brethren. I believe he cared for none of the praise and glory of man. No doubt oft times he was misjudged as to his real purpose and sometimes people said he was prejudiced, narrow and even a bigot. Those who knew him best loved and admired him for his great determination to place the whole truth before the world. Brother Cawthon was a splendid writer. He could write more on a post card than many could in a letter. Brother Cawthon would condemn a friend when wrong or commend an enemy when he was right. This truly should be a lesson to us. Why can't I see the good in my fellow man as well as the mistakes he may make? August 31, 1913, during a meeting conducted by himself and Brother Ernest Garrett the death angel called and said it is enough, come home. Blessed are the dead who died in the Lord for they shall rest from their labors and their works do follow them. It can be said of him "Being dead yet speaketh."

Gospel Advocate Obituary

For Sister S.I.S. Cawthon 

On Sunday, April 25, 1909, Sister Cawthon went as was her custom to church, and stopped for dinner with her daughter, Sister Lewis. Later in the evening she and her husband, Dr. S. I. S. Cawthon, started home; but she decided to stop on the way to see some of the sisters who were not able to be at church that day. She reached home late and had to hasten out of the rain. Immediately after reaching the house, she called to her husband to come in haste. He just saved her from falling; and after putting her on the bed, he summoned the doctor. The last word she spoke intelligently was to tell the doctor that her head hurt her. Thus passed away one of the good women of the earth. In the year 1868, forty-one years ago, I met Dr. S. I. S. Cawthon for the first time, and he and his estimable wife were Baptists. I never saw two people struggle more earnestly to remain Baptists than these. It was the love of truth and nothing else that seemed to make them yield one point after another until there was an entire surrender. I never saw two people more nearly equal in the yoke, for Sister Cawthon examined every point with her husband and had to be made to see where the truth was. Thus she passed through life studying for herself and reasoning for herself. Her ideas of what God said and meant were not to be slighted by any one. On March 17 she passed her seventieth birthday, and she and Brother Cawthon (to use his own words) had "walked together fifty years and two months." I thought to write a longer notice of so great a woman, but I can give a quotation that will cover more ground than I can. I met Mr. Emerson, who had lived in Andalusia and who knew her well, on returning to Montgomery from the burial. I told him that Sister Cawthon was buried the evening before. With seeming feeling, he said: "That was a good old woman. I wish I thought my chances for heaven were as good as hers." This language cannot be emphasized.
J.M. Barnes, Gospel Advocate, May 20, 1909, pg 631

S.I.S. Cawthon and the Cawthorn family are all buried in the Magnolia Cemetery in Andalusia, Alabama.
