George Cashel, of Bedford House, Co.Kerry
Two death notices (details below) for George Cashel show he is born 1780, inherited Shallee House, Co.Tipperary
(but mostly lived in Co.Kerry),
married Grace Wilson, died 1855.
George Cashel,
or Cashell,
born 1780.
See
entry
on
Mark Russell's family tree.
His
father
owned
Shallee House, Co.Tipperary,
but lived in Co.Kerry.
After his father's death in 1801-1802, he inherited Shallee,
and rented it out (to the Young family) for decades,
while he lived in Co.Kerry.
He might be George Cashel of Tralee
who is referred to in
[Rowan, 1860]
as being an admirer around 1805 of Sarah Isdell,
governess to the family of
Sir Edward Denny, 3rd Baronet.
This George Cashel was then living at a corner house near the gate of
Tralee Castle.
In marriage settlement he is listed as George Cashell (or Cashel) of Tralee, eldest son of the late George Cashell.
In marriage notice he is described as of "Ursa" (unidentified), Co.Kerry.
He
mar 16 June 1806
to
Grace Wilson.
She was
dau of John Wilson (died 1796),
a wealthy merchant
of
Paisley, Scotland,
and his wife Margaret Sym [or Syme].
She was sister of
Prof. John Wilson of Edinburgh
(born 1785, died 1854).
They married near Edinburgh.
See marriage
notice in
Belfast Commercial Chronicle,
23 June 1806.
Marriage settlement dated 14 June 1806,
with a further post-marriage settlement dated 14 July 1806. (Not a typo, two documents.)
Marriage settlement refers to property in Co.Kerry and Co.Tipperary,
including
"Shally", Co.Tipperary.
His brother Rowan
killed a friend in a duel on 7 Aug 1815.
George and other relatives of Rowan
were involved in political intrigue in 1815-1816
to try to secure Rowan's acquittal.
George registered a batch of freeholders
as part of the plan to help his brother.
Think it is
Fuller who
refers to "Registry" (of voters), 20 Aug 1815 and 11 Oct 1815.
Think this was burnt in 1922.
No register of Co.Kerry voters from this time
seems to survive.
Apparently lived in Killarney area in 1816-1824:
Lived in 1816-1817 at
Lakeville, near Killarney
(a house also linked to Blennerhassett).
George Cashel of Lakeville
(eldest son of the late George Cashel),
is party to
[Deed, 1817]
with Francis Young
of
Shallee, Co.Tipperary.
(He is renting Shallee to Francis Young.)
He must be
George Cashell of Killarney
(son of the late George Cashell)
who is party to
[Deed, 1820]
He is probably "G. Cashel"
who wrote in 1822
to Dublin Castle from Killarney.
In letter of 5 Mar 1822 he reported an attack
by
Whiteboys
on the home of a
tithe collector
called Batt Buckley,
of Curra, Glanbehy par, Co.Kerry.
Buckley was collecting tithes for Rev. Barry Denny.
On 1 Mar 1822,
Whiteboys attacked his house.
Buckley shot the raiders, but they managed to burn his house.
Cashel appeals to Dublin Castle for Buckley who has nowhere to live.
In letter of 24 Mar 1822 he thanks
Dublin Castle for sending £25 to give to Buckley.
Listed as JP for Co.Kerry at his death.
He is probably
George Cashel, J.P., New St, Killarney,
listed on p.273
of
[Pigot's Directory, 1824].
"George Cashell"
is listed
in House of Commons

George is living Tivoli Terrace, Cork, as at his dau's insanity in 1835-1836.
He lived at Bedford House, Galey par, just N of Listowel, Co.Kerry.

[Limerick Standard, 12 June 1838].
Listed as of Bedford, Co.Kerry in his daughter's

George dies, 1855:

Would be after father and grandfather.
Inherited Shallee House.

See grave transcript
and photo.
- Janet Cashel,
eldest dau.
She mar May 1840
to George Purdon Bevan.
He was descendant of Cashell of Bushfield, Co.Tipperary.
So they would be cousins of some sort.
They mar at Listowel church, by the Rev. Dawson Massy.
See
[Limerick Standard, 18 May 1840].
Think did NOT mar at Camas, Co.Limerick.
Marriage settlement in deed of 30 Apr 1840.
- Margaret Cashel.
Would be after grandmother.
She suffered from insanity starting in Sept 1835. She was suicidal.
She was put in a lunatic asylum.

Would be after grandmother.
She mar
Patrick Cheevers [of Listowel].

Patrick is party to her sister's

Looks like George the younger was born 1817 and went to Trinity College Dublin.

"generosus" (gentleman),
had issue:

He was educ TCD.
He went up 6 July 1835, age 18.

from family of middling means).
See
[TCD Alumni].
Think this might be a 2nd marriage for George Cashel after his wife died.
It could also be
his son,
but would seem very young, only just gone up to TCD.
Also Susanna would have to die early since he married Jane Anne Franklin in 1840.
