Carnmoney.

[From Mr. W. F. M'Kinney, of Carnmoney.]

We Lave no monuments erected to the memory of the first five ministers who were ordained to preach in Carnmoney, and no record of where they were buried. The Rev. James Shaw, who was deposed by Jeremy Taylor, died in 1672. His son, Rev. Patrick Shaw, died in 1683. Rev. John Munroe returned to Scotland in 1689, and the Rev. George Lang returned to Newry in 1692. Andrew Crawford was ordained in 1606, and died in 1726. His son Thomas was minister of Crumlin from 1721 until he died in 1782 (fifty-eight years).

Rev. Andrew Crawford's daughter, Isabella, was married to Thomas Houston, and their names are inscribed on the oldest monument in Carnmoney burying-ground, which was placed there; in memory of Lieutenant Paul Cunyngham, who was in some way connected with the Houston family. In the Templepatrick Session Book it is recorded that on April 17th, 1648, Captain John Houston of Ballyclare, in the parish of Ballymure, and Margaret Shaw of this parish gave up their names to be proclaimed, and Hugh Sloan received of band money 9s. 6d. This merely shows that Cunyngham and Houston had both been officers in the army, and resided in the same neighbourhood. The following is the inscription on the stone, which was turned with the inscription on the under side, the last time that I saw it:--

HERE LYETH THE BODY OF
LIEU. PAVL CUNYNGHAM WHO
DEPARTED THIS LIFE APRIL THE 6
1692 AGED 72 YEARS.
Here lieth the remains of Thomas
Houston who departed this life
Aug. 15, 1790. Aged 80 years. Also
Isabella his wife who died the 22^d of
said month, and year, Aged 81.
Also their grand-daughter Isabella Houston,
Who died 4^th Nov. 1846 Aged 77 years.
Their grand-son W^m Houston, Ballyearl
died 1^st April 1855 aged 80 years.
His wife Eliza Houston died 29^th Dec.
1861 aged 82 years.

Several of the Rev. Andrew Crawford's descendants of the fifth and sixth generations are still members and seat-holders in the congregation, and some of them our most useful and prominent office-bearers.

Our next minister was the Rev. John Thomson, and the following inscription is on his monument:--

Rev. John Thomson
died
in March 1765 aged 73.
He married Marcella Legg of Malone House,
in 1732, who died in February 1756.

Then follows on this stone and the adjoining one, inscriptions about his descendants, the Thomsons of Castleton, Jennymount, and Low Wood, who became Episcopalians, and the last of the name, George Augustus Thomson, died at Melbourne, Australia, on the 7th of June, 1886, aged 87 years.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

The next minister was also John Thomson, nephew to his predecessor, and the following inscription is on his monument':--

Dedicated
By the affection of his children to the memory of
the Rev. John Thomson, 62 years minister of the
Presbyterian Congregation of Carnmoney.
During this long period he was uniformely distinguished
by zeal in the cause of his Divine Master, genuine piety,
strength and soundness of judgement, manly and
convincing eloquence, and extensive theological
learning, combined with an intimate knowledge of
the human heart, and with dignity, consistency,
and decision of character; while his amiable disposition
and affectionate urbanity of manners
amid the faithful discharge of all the duties of private
life endeared his memory to his family and friends
He died 23^rd March 1828, aged 87 years.

Also
To the memory of his wife
Daughter of the late Rev. W^m Laird, of Belfast,
The recollection of whose unaffected piety, and domestic virtues
is the best memorial of her worth,
She died 7^th December 1811, aged 67 years.

Mr. Thomson's assistant and successor has the following to nis memory:-

Erected
by the
Congregation of Carmoney
In memory
of the Rev. John Dill M.A.
who was born at Ramelton Co. Donegal
on the 20^th of Aug^t 1802, Ordained Minister
of Carnmoney on the 10^th of May 1825, and
died on the 19^th of Feb^y 1841 in the 39^th year
of his age, and the 16^th of his ministry.
A Minister "mighty in the Scriptures,"
"A Brother born for adversity,
"A man greatly beloved" -- And
"An Israelite indeed in whom was no guile."

Elizabeth, Wife of the Rev ^d John Dill, born on the 20^th
Feb^y 1806,
and died on the 18^th of Sep^t. 1842.

John Alexander Scott, their son
who was born on the 5^th of Sep^t 1830, and
died 9^th Sep^t 1831.

Clough Churchyard.

Mr. J. G. Cupples, of Brooklyn, Massachusetts, U.S.A., has kindly supplied two full-page illustrations of his family tombstones in Clough churchyard, which are given here. The earlier headstone is dated 1711, and the other 1771; the inscriptions on these monuments have already appeared on pages 233 and 234 of the seventh volume of the JOURNAL.

Burke, in his "General Armory," does not mention the coat-of-arms of the Cupples family; but Mr. Cupples describes it as:--
   "Or, a lion rampant between three cross crosslets gules."
    The crest is: "A hind's head."
    The motto: "I am ready."

Note: Unfortunately I was unable to reproduce the image here due to the poor quality in the copy of the Journal.

[From Mr. Francis Joseph Bigger.]

The following two inscriptions are on large flat slabs, inside a high iron railing, close to the north side of the Protestant church of Kilmore in Armagh. They show the connexion of the Chichesters with the old O'Neills of Shane's Castle. This branch of the O'Neills has died out; the present Lord O'Neill is a Chichester. The O'Neills had an older connexion with Kilmore before confiscation. The remains of "Stout Sir Phelim's" castle are in Kilmore:--

Donegal Castle.

On the opposite page is shown a richly sculptured chimney-piece in the ruins of Donegal Castle, which was rebuilt about 1610, by Sir Basil Brooke, who went to Ireland in the time of Queen Elizabeth, served under Charles Blount (Lord Mountjoy) in Ulster, and was appointed Governor of the town and castle of Donegal; and being likewise one of the Commissioners for the settlement of Ulster, he obtained from the Crown large grants of land in the county Donegal.

Sir Basil, by his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Leicester, of Toft in Cheshire, was the ancestor of the present Sir Andrew D. Brooke, Bart., of Colebrooke in the County Fermanagh.

In the upper panels of the chimney-piece are carved the Brooke arms, and also those of Brooke impaling Leicester, viz.:-- "Or, a cross, engrailed per pale gules and sable," for Brooke; and Azure, a fesse gules, fretty or, between three fleurs-de-lis of the last," for Leicester.

[Translation.]

Here lieth the body of Master John Hart of noble
descent, a watchful pastor, a devout philosopher,
a distinguished divine, who laboured for over 30 years
preaching Christ with much success in the church of
Tauboyne, and after much suffering for Christ's sake
at length gave up his ripened spirit to God on 8th
January 1687 aged 70 years

The Rev. John Hart, a Scotchman, was the second Presbyterian minister of Taughboyne. He was inducted in 1655, and was ejected for nonconformity in 1661, by Leslie, Bishop of Raphoe. For the Leslie monument and inscription, see vol. vii, p. 157. His "much suffering" refers to his incarceration by the Bishop in Lifford for six years.

Within that County which claimed
His latest Remembrance,
To Perpetuate His Memory at the Place of His Birth.

Inch

[From the Ven. E. D. Atkinson, Archdeacon of Dromore.]

In the Parish Church of Inch, near Downpatrick, anciently known as "Inis-cooscry," from Coos-cry, son and successor of Connor macNessa, King of Ulster, there exists a small stone altar, consisting of a slab or mensa of red marble, resting on four low pillars of the same material. The dimensions are as follows:-- 40½ inches (originally said to have been 49¼ inches) long, by 29¼ inches wide, and 31 inches high. On the face of the mensa are inscribed the words -

EX DONO JANE CHICHESTER.

From the Rev. B. F. White, Rector of Inch, I learn that this Jane Chichester was the daughter of a Belfast clergyman of the name of Chichester [could he have been the Rev. Simon Chichester, M.A., who was Vicar of Belfast in 1632 ?], who had married a daughter of the first Maxwell of Farnham. She subsequently married a son (?) of the first Maxwell of Finnebrogue, in the parish of Inch, about the year 1722. The existing church was not consecrated until the year 1730, so that probably the altar and a font of the same marble were originally presented to the old church, and transferred subsequently to the present building.

I am quite sure that the date is correct (1566).

The Arnoldi Family of Dublin.

The following extracts are from the old family Bible of the Arnoldis, now in possession of their representative, Capt. H. de Courcy Wheeler, of Robertstown House, County Kildare.

It is a large quarto volume, comprising Prayer Book, Bible, and a metrical version of the Psalms, and was printed at Oxford in 1682. On the title-page of the Bible is the inscription:--

Notes.

The Cupples Family Coat-of-arms.

The Cupples coat-of-arms, as sculptured on their family tombstones in the churchyard of County Antrim, is:--

"Or, a lion rampant between three cross crosslets gules."
The crest:-- "A hind's head."
The motto:-- "I am ready."

It is strange that such a fine and well-authenticated coat as this should never have been registered at Ulster's Office, Dublin.

It is the second ancient Cupples coat I have unearthed, the first (also never registered) belonging to the Cuppleses of Armagh, a family running back to 1600 or earlier, which became extinct with the Rev. Edward Cupples, Rector of Glenavy in the County Antrim, of high repute as an able Ulster antiquary in his day.

This last-mentioned coat-of-arms, among other authorities, stands recorded in two large English works, namely, Robson's "British Herald," and Berry's "Cycle of Heraldry," volume iv.

The blazoning of these arms is:-- "li "Argent, two scorpions between a bend sable." The crest is a demi-figure in armour holding a blue banner.

Queries.

The Mahons of the City of Limerick.

Major-General R. Mahon, C.B. (Simla, India), writes as follows in connexion with a slab bearing the name of Anna Creagh, in St. Mary's Cathedral, Limerick (see vol. vii, p. 132, of the JOURNAL):-- The inscription on this slab, now apparently mostly illegible, seems to correspond with that given in full in FitzGerald and M'Gregor's "History of the City of Limerick," on page 552 of the second volume. As there given it reads:--

ORATE • PRO • ANIMABVS • THOMÆ • MAHON, QVI • OBIT •
NOVEMB: 1 • 1631, ET • VXORIS • EIVS • ANNA • CREAGU, QVÆ •
OBIT • NOVEMB: 1637

The date given in the JOURNAL, 1634, does not agree with the above ; but I think the stone must be the same as the one mentioned by FitzGerald and M'Gregor.

If any subscriber to the JOURNAL can give me information concerning this Thomas Mahon, I would be obliged.

His son appears to have been James Mahon, who was Sheriff or Bailiff of Limerick in 1644, and brother-in-law of Thomas Arthur, "Doctor of Physic," of Limerick, Dublin, and France, and author of the Arthur MSS. quoted in Lenihan's "History of Limerick."

Devenish Island.

The inscriptions given in vol. vii of the JOURNAL, and on pages 585-592, were copied by the Rev. James E. M'Kenna, Administrator, who has published a small work on the "History of Devenish and its Antiquities." On page 68 of this work Father M'Kenna gives the inscription on a mural slab, now built into the window at the entrance to the spiral stairs in St. Mary's Abbey; it is the earliest inscribed stone now existing on the island. The inscription is in Latin, and the lettering is in raised Lombardic characters; it runs:--

MATHEUS: ODUBEGAN: HOC: OPUS: FECIT:
BARTHOLAMEO: OFLANRAGAN: PRIÒRI: DE:
DAMYNIS: A.D. MIII^cXLIX.

i.e., Matthew O'Doogan did this work for Bartholomew O'Flanagan, Prior of Devenish, A.D. 1449.

Father M'Kenna gives the following account of a removal of this tablet:--

According to Frith's* letters, this stone originally stood to the right of the east window and eight feet from the floor. It seems to have had its share, and more than its share, in the vicissitudes of the place. Early in the year 1808, Captain FitzMaurice, of the Royal Artillery, Enniskillen, carried away this stone and built it into a closet in his own garden. Through the interference of Bishop Porter he was compelled to replace it. On March 21st of that year the Rev. Wm. Faussett,† in a letter to Dr. Porter, says the stone had been replaced in its former position. How long it remained there we do not know. Probably the wall in which it was set, having been weakened by the removal of the window, soon gave way before one of the many hurricanes that sweep over the island, and this venerable record remained buried under the debris until some lover of "Ireland's ancient glory" picked it out and had it placed in its present position of security. The Prior, Bartholomew O'Flanagan, to whom it refers, died in the monastery of Lough Derg (County Donegal) in the year 1462.

The stone measures 2 feet 6 inches by 1 foot 2 inches.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

The patron saint of Devenish was a St. Molaise (son of Nadfraech) who was venerated on the 12th of September. According to the "Annals of the Four Masters," he died in the year 563.

He is not to be confused with other saints of the same name, viz.:--

St. Molaise of Kilmolash, Co. Waterford, venerated on the 17th of January.
St. Molaise (son of Cairell) of Leighlin, Co. Cariow, venerated on the 18th of April.
St. Molaise (son of Deglan) of Inishmurray Island, Co. Sligo, venerated on the 12th of August.

The latter two had an alias of Laseran.

The antiquities on Devenish consist of a Round Tower, St. Mary's Abbey ruins, a medieval cross, some ancient sepulchral slabs, a holed stone, and St. Molaise's Bed and Well.

* John Frith, a schoolmaster of Enniskillen, who described the ruins in 1808.
† The Rev. W. Faussett was Curate with Archdeacon Caulfield, Rector of Devenish. His letter is written from Tullycreevy. He says Captain FitzMaurice excused his action by saying that he had the stone removed in order to copy the inscriprion and have it translated.

Ballyrashane Church

[From Mr. J. G. Cupples.]

To the Memory of the Rev. Thomas Cupples, A.B.,
Late Rector of Ballyrashane.
His life was one unwearied course of duties performed with
scrupulous regard to his ministerial engagements
His acts of Charity to his poor brethren were limited only by his means.
The humility of an honest and good heart was manifest
in the easy courtesy of his cheerful manners, which were
also distinguished by Godly simplicity aud Christian moderation.
"There is laid up for him a Crown of righteousness."
He died unmarried at Ballyrashane, on the 6^th day of
November, 1853, in the 65^th year of his age, and 27^th
of his Incumbency.
Erected by His Parishioners and Friends.

Referred to in a lengthy poem appearing in Henry Bayley's "Lisburn," published in 1834. Brother of Rev. Edward Chippies, J.L.B. (1785-1854), Vicar-General of Down and Connor, who also died unmarried, and who aided the celebrated Bishop Wm. Reeves in matters of Ulster antiquarian research. Both of these Cuppleses were graduates of Dublin University. Both sons of a Rev. Snowden Cupples, D.D. (1750-1835), Rector of Lisburn Cathedral, the last-named son of William Cupples, Esq. (1693-1783), Prospect House, Mullahead, Armagh, who had acquired opulence through the early demise in 1729 of his spirited bachelor brother, one Captain Alexander Cupples, engaged in the lucrative slave traffic long existing between Africa and Bristol, England, the West Indies and Bristol, Rhode Island.

This William and Alexander, sons of a Thomas Cupples, (1650-1715), of Scarvagh, Down, whose will, in Latin, was proved before Rev. Father Thomas, otherwise Thomas Lindsay, Archbishop of Armagh, of considerable wit and commonsense, who owed his ecclesiastic advancement to the friendly influence of the immortal Dean Swift.

In curious contradistinction to the immovable belief of the present few Cuppleses in and about Clough, in Antrim, they fastened to an Ayrshire starting-point notion, purely traditional. The late Rev. Edward Cupples (a first-class antiquary) claimed for his Armagh Cupples main line, which became extinct with him, the fact of its having taken root in Ulster just previous to A.D. 1600, in the shape of the grandfather of the aforesaid William Cupples of Mullahead, that particular grandfather hailing from Ognall Hall in Lancashire, where those of his name had held out for centuries under cognominal spellings, more or less resembling the present Cupples surname in form. This William Cupples stood heir to that Lancashire piece of property, but did not prosecute his claims thereto, though the then Lord Mandeville, also of Armagh, his friend and neighbour, proffered him the use of much ready money to do so.

The earliest Ayrshire Cupples individual, so far found on record, appears in a 1620 parish of Dailly testamentary document. There a "once-alive" Thomas Kippillis reveals himself as having children, their names interchangeably written as Kippill and Kippilles. In 1627 another "once-alive" Johnne Kippilles makes his will, wherein his wife is termed Margaret Rinie, and his two daughters Mareown and Issobell.

Three years later this very widow, Margaret Kippilles, but preferring, however, to call herself Margaret Rynnie, makes in her turn her will, in which will she dubs her son as one James Cuppill, but the two daughters aforesaid are elongated into Mareown Cuppillis and Issobel Cuppillis!

Donaghmoney Church.

[From Mrs. T. Long.]

I have obtained from Miss Hurst the inscription on a stone altar in this church. It reads:--

The Gift of Lady Anne Acheson, 1734.

The slab, supported by iron brackets, is of green marble, and measures 43½ inches in length, 27 inches in breadth, and 41 inches in height.

The lady mentioned may have been Anne, daughter of Sir Arthur Acheson, 5th Baronet, High Sheriff of the Counties of Armagh and Tyrone. Her eldest brother, Sir Archibald, was in 1776 created Viscount Gosford. She married in 1742 the Right Rev. Walter Cope, D.D., of Dromilly, County Armagh, Bishop of Ferns and Leighlin.

Or it may be intended for her mother Anne, daughter of the Rt. Hon. Philip Savage, Chancellor of the Exchequer of Ireland. But in either case she would not have been Lady Anne.

Belville House, Parish of Clonoe.

[From Major B. R. G. Crookshank.]

Belville House (alias Gortnaglogh), now in ruins, is situated about a mile to the north-east of Clonoe Church, and about a mile to the west of Mountjoy Castle. Over the hall door is a mural tablet bearing the Morris coat-of-arms, initials, and the date 1682.

Morris Arms Belville House

At this time Captain John Morris, of Gortnaglogh (alias Belville), who died in 1685, was in possession of the property, and lived in the above-named house.

I read the initials thus:-- M stands for Morris; I stands for John ; and F for his wife's Christian name, which I do not know.

Clonoe Church and Burial-ground

On the opposite page are shown four sketches of inscriptions on monuments connected with the Morris family of Belville and Mountjoy, both places situated near this church. They are numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. The first three are inside the church, and the fourth is out in the burial-ground.

Major Crookshank has kindly supplied the following particulars in connexion with them:--

No. 1 is a mural monument built- into the north wall of the church, and faces No. 2. I cannot say if this stone is in its original position, though it was very likely placed over the pew of the Thomas Morris named on it.

No. 2 is in the south wall facing No. 1. The same remark with regards to position applies to this as to No. 1.

No. 3 faces the entrance door of the porch, being built into the north wall.

The two families of Morris, viz.: Morris of Gortnaglogh or Belville, and Morris of Mountjoy, were descended from a common ancestor -- Patrick Morris of Gortnaglogh and Mountjoy, who died on the 23rd July, 1634. Gortnaglogh descended to the eldest son, and Mountjoy to the second.

The Morrises suffered severely during the rebellion of Sir Phelim Roe O'Neill in 1641, at the hands of Turlough "Groome" O'Quinn, who commanded the rebels in that part, and took possession of Mountjoy.

Thomas Morris of Mountjoy, mentioned in the inscriptions, was the direct ancestor of the family of Morris-Jones of Moneyglass, County Antrim, afterwards Morris-Hamilton-Jones.

No. 4 is a headstone standing in the churchyard to the west of the porch.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Alongside of the last-mentioned headstone is another bearing this inscription:--

The former consist of a crest -- an estoile, The coat-of-arms is "argent, three bendlets sable." This family is distinct from that of Saunderson.

The inscription, when translated, runs thus:--

Here lies Alexander Sanderson, born in Scotland,
a soldier in Belgium, a leader of horse and foot in Poland;
in Ireland a Justice of the Peace, and thrice High Sheriff.
I commit my work to God.
Death to the Faithful is a happy respite from toil.
He died on the 8^th day of December
in the year of Our Lord 1633.

Continuing my lists of the graveyard inscriptions of East Wicklow, I have followed the same method which I used in describing those of Dunganstown (more correctly, Donganstown) in vol. vii, pp. 482-488; that is, I have given the names, dates, ages, and relationships, in the briefest possible form. There is nothing in the actual wording of these inscriptions which merits that literal transcription which is of course proper in cases of early, elaborate, and especially Latin, epitaphs. The object of these lists is mainly to put on record the names and dates of the population of East Wicklow before the gravestones become illegible by process of time, weather, and almost universal neglect. This record is the more important because the Parish Registers of East Wicklow are usually of very modern date ; the majority, indeed, begin in the nineteenth century, and often well on in that ; three date back to the first quarter of the eighteenth century ; and five to the second half of the seventeenth century. The greater number by far of the names included in the following lists do not occur in any Parish Register; and as the age (here indicated in parenthesis) is often recorded, the approximate date of birth, as well as of death, is supplied. When the whole of the graveyards of East Wicklow (or "Byrnes' Country") have been recorded, we shall know fairly accurately what families, of all ranks above the labouring class, lived in the various parishes ; and often we shall learn the names of their farms or houses, or (which is usually the same thing) of the townlands on which they lived. Such information may be of great value to the genealogist. A general index of the whole series of lists should supply a view of the population of" Byrnes' Country," from the Restoration to the date which I have chosen as the termi- nal limit -- 1850; after that date the Registers should suffice. Only in special cases, when it seemed desirable, have I included later dates.

Abbreviations:-- h., husband; w., wife ; s.,son; da., daughter; f., father; m., mother; br., brother; sis., sister; er., erected by. Each surname indicates a separate stone; where several names occur on one stone they are numbered 1, 2, 3, &c. Etc. indicates that other inscriptions relating to dates later than 1850 follow.

Castle Timon Churchyard.

The gravestones are inside and around the ruins of the old church, and Roman Catholic burials still take place there. Some of the slabs and headstones are broken or deeply imbedded, but the large majority are decipherable. There must, however, be many more that are buried or destroyed, for it is known that the O'Byrnes of Kiltimon (and probably other leading chiefs of that "nation") were buried at Castle Timon in the reign of Elizabeth, and doubtless long before that. The troubles of 1641 and the following ten years may account for much destruction of tombs and churches ; no less than the rebellion and repression of 1798.

Miscellanea.

The Smith Family of Ballingarry, Lismacrory, Ballymona, and Milford in the County Tipperary; and of Birr and Shinrone in the King's County.

By Mr. T. U. Sadleir.

The following account of the Smith family, who had several residences in the Ballingarry neighbourhood, is compiled from wills, marriage licences, &c, and will, I hope, he found accurate, as far as it goes. Notwithstanding the statements in Burke's "Landed Gentry," under "Smyth of Gaybrook," I very much doubt if this family belonged to that stock, and an examination of the dates will, at any rate, show that the descent could not be as is outlined there. But it is quite likely that this family of Smith, owing to inter- marriage with the Smiths of Violetstown, came to believe that they also belonged to the Westmeath family:--

Thomas Smith, of Ballingarry, C^o Tipperary, b. 1666, m. Hannah Cooke (who d. 1755), and d. 1754 (will, dated 24 Jan. 1754, proved 1754), leaving issue four sons & two daus.:--

I. Ralph, of whom hereafter.

II. Thomas, of Dublin, who d. 1751, leaving, by Mary, his wife, two daus. Dorcas & Mary, and a son Ralph, of Dublin, who m. Anne Moon, and d. 1786.

III. Oliver b. 1706, d. 1726.

IV. William, of Ballingarry Castle, b. 1711, m. Mary . . . . and d. s. p. 1771, having devised his estate to his nephew Thomas Thompson (see inscription to the latter, ante, under Ballingarry Churchyard).

V. Samuel, of Shinrone, King's C^o. In will (dated 23 Jan. 1737; proved June 1738) he mentions his sister-in-law Elizabeth Compton, his cousin Anna Maria Bryan, and appoints his wife residuary legatee. He seems to have left an only dau. Hannah, who was under age in 1737.

I. . . . m. Robert Jackson, of Knockinglass, Co. Tipp., who d. 1722, leaving George Jackson, (of Knockinglass), Sarah, who m. 1719 Francis Percy, of Ballintemple, King's C^o, and Mary, m. 1712 Francis Biddulph, of Rathrobin, King's C^o.
