Irish Volunteers
formed throughout the island to defend Ireland from the threat of French and American attack.
Rowland set up the "Laune Rangers" regiment
of the Kerry Volunteers.
This would refer to
the area of the River Laune,
the area of Kerry
between Killarney and Killorglin.
The regiment probably recruited men from that area.
Rowland himself would be living at Blennerville.

Moves to Churchtown, near Killarney, probably 1788:
Rowland built or
lived at Churchtown House, near Killarney, Co.Kerry.
Rowland Blennerhassett is addressed
at "Killarney" in

This is probably Churchtown.
Certainly he is at Churchtown the following month.
He is listed as of "Churchtown" in

and
[Deed, March 1789]
and
[Deed, Nov 1789].
He is listed as of Churchtown in the

This was registered in 1806 but
think the addresses come from 1790, not 1806.
He managed his brother Arthur's
estate after his death, 4 May 1790.
This is noted later in his nephew's
marriage settlement, May 1798.

Bill Jehan
says Rowland was JP for Co.Kerry 1796-97.
He is listed at Churchtown in
[Deed, Jan 1797].
Clearly still at Churchtown as at

For some years,
James Crosbie, MP, of Ballyheigue,
made representations to Dublin Castle that Rowland should be created a Baronet.
See letters of 1804-1805

1st Baronet and Millicent had issue:
- Melisent Blennerhassett,
or Mellesent.
Original of her baptism says "Melisent", followed by "Blennerhassett" hopelessly spelled wrong.
Original of her burial says "Mellesent Hassett".
Not sure what spelling to use.
Maybe we should use "Millicent", that being the standard spelling for her mother.
Though note her mother's spelling varies widely in the records.
She was probably born at Stephen St, Dublin.
She was

St.Peter's CoI church, Aungier St, Dublin.

Republished in Kerry's Eye, 15 Sept 1988, p.22.
Rowland (later 1st Baronet) commanded the "Laune Rangers" regiment of the Kerry Volunteers in 1782.
He is recalled as standing at his doorway (i.e. at Blennerville House)
with
snuff in his pockets.
It mentions his nephew
Whitwell Butler (officer in the Navy)
as being part of the Blennerville scene.

- So what is it?
It is evocative of the time of the 1st Baronet, but it may not be him.
- It could be the 1st Baronet.
- It could be some other ancestor of the 7th Baronet.
- It could be an ancestor of Morgan.
- It could be one of the Ballyseedy Blennerhassetts, whose property the 7th Baronet inherited.
- I asked ChatGPT about this picture, with no extra information,
and it thought early Georgian, circa 1720-1760.
It said the painting is "a bit provincial or folkish in style".
- When I asked it could it be a man born in 1740, it changed its mind (like AI often does)
and said it could be c.1760-1775.
- It could be the 1st Baronet. But we may never know.
- Please Ancestry users, do not declare this is the 1st Baronet!

Dublin Castle, to
Maurice Fitzgerald, 18th Knight of Kerry.
From
[Knight of Kerry letters, 1804, p.100].
See
full size.
- Letter is
about the clash over patronage between Maurice FitzGerald and
James Crosbie, MP, of Ballyheigue.
Crosbie is nominating "Mr Blennerhassett"
for
High Sheriff of Co.Kerry.
-
"I have seen Col. Crosbie, and I really think, from what he has stated to me, I should not act fairly by him if I was not to give him the nomination of the sheriff for the present year. He had recommended a man who, in point of situation and character, is unexceptionable - I mean Mr Blennerhassett.
The sheriff, I understand, was named by you last year, and Col. Crosbie conceives, and not without some ground, that he ought to recommend for the present."
- "Mr Blennerhassett" must be Rowland Blennerhassett.
We note that no Blennerhassett was made High Sheriff this year or in any of the next 15 years.
However Nepean writes a second letter the next month (below)
about getting "a baronetcy for Mr Blennerhassett"
(presumably instead of High Sheriff).
This must be Rowland.

"disgusted and astonished beyond expression"
that in the list of the Grand Jury, the 18th Knight of Kerry

was placed in order of precedence after
Sir Rowland
(only created a Baronet 2 years ago).
-
Day refers to
Sir Rowland as "this mushroom Baronet".
- Day calls him "the spawn too of Ballyheigue",
meaning that he was created after representations from

With respect to the desire expressed by you, in a former letter, relative to the nomination of the Sheriff, I have been directed to inform you, that, consistently with the rules to which His Grace has determined to adhere upon these subjects, he cannot consent to your nomination of the Sheriff of the County of Kerry."
