Francis Cashell,
He
mar c.1727-29
to Sarah Rowan
[of Droumbegg, Co.Kerry, born est c.1702,
descendant of Edward III,
her mother was a Blennerhassett].
Think the Cashells only came to Co.Kerry through this marriage. See "Cashell v. Rowan, 1729" in Ms 20610 in [Rowan Papers]. |
He is "Francis Cashell",
Deputy Clerk of the Crown, mentioned in the trial of the
Danish Silver Robbery 1731.
See
[Hickson, 1874].
Hickson also lists him as "Francis Cashel",
Deputy Clerk of the Peace.
Hickson, led astray by her transcription error of 1872,
is wrong to think Francis is the brother of
"George" who married Rowan.
Francis Cashel, Deputy Clerk of the Peace,
certified the
indictment of Thomas Hickson of Gowlane,
who "seems to have conformed to Protestantism, to qualify himself probably for the appointment of
Seneschal
of the barony, which he held, but having betrayed his trust he was indicted under the name of Thomas Mac Robert Hickson of Gowlane for harbouring
Tories
and Papists".
See "Hicksons of Fermoyle, Genealogical Notices"
in
[O'Kief, vol.5, p.455].
He must be "Francis Cashel"
who subscribed to the book
The Doctrine of Projectiles demonstrated and applied to
all the most useful problems in practical gunnery, William Starrat, Dublin, 1733.
[Glin, 1972] thinks he may be the "Mr. Cashell" near Tralee, Co.Kerry, mentioned in letter from John Boyle, 5th Earl of Orrery to John Kempe, from Tralee, 27 Aug 1735. Extract: "I was wrong when I sent you Word, Magee's Farme was in Valencia: It is on this Side the Vast Mountain we cross'd over. His Lease is for ever, which makes me little sollicitous about a Dispute between him & Mr. Cashell for Land said to be mine. Tomorrow, I shall endeavour to settle some Disputes betwixt me & Colonel Hassett". (The latter is Col. John Blennerhassett, 1st cousin of Sarah Rowan's mother.)
Sarah died shortly before 1754. Her admin granted Nov 1754 to husband.
Francis fl 1754, described as of Tralee.
He may be "Francis Cashell", of Tralee, gent,
who was
admitted 1754 as
Freeman of Fethard.
He may be "Francis Cashell" who is listed as
lieutenant in
the Kerry militia temp 1756,
in a regiment of foot under
Col. John Blennerhassett.
See
[Ó Snodaigh, 1971].

Transcript of the previous.
From
p.39 of
[Hickson, 1872].
Black Jack's original Ms has the correct name, "Francis Cashell", for Sarah's husband.
Hickson incorrectly transcribes this as "George Cashell".
This "George" error is still circulating today.
Administration of Sarah Rowan's estate, granted 1754.
From [Betham abstracts],
Series 2, administrations, v.11 "C" 1740-1764.
From here.
"Francis Cashell" appears in 1766 on the
property at Tralee of
Frances Blennerhassett (formerly Yielding),
mother of Sir Rowland Blennerhassett, 1st Baronet.
From
[Deed of Mar 1766].
This Henry must be the same as the following, given the connections to Ballynevan, White and Greenhall.
[Betham abstracts] says our Henry definitely has a nephew George Cashell, but it thinks our Henry might be the son of this Francis below. I think this is someone else. Note that [Betham abstracts] only draws this as a dotted line (he is unsure):
Both Arthur Cashel and Douglas Cashel's son Sidney C. Cashel are found living at the same address, 11 Kenilworth Square, Rathgar, Dublin, in 1901.
