He was probably born 1733, or just before.
Descendant of Edward III.
He mar Ellen Alton.
He is listed as of multiple places:

Of Shallee, Co.Tipperary. (His family's estate.)
Of Rathanny, Ballymacelligott par (a little bit E of Tralee), Co.Kerry. This possibly came from Rowan family.
Of Castlemorris, apparently Co.Kerry. There is a Castlemorris House in Ballymullen, Tralee, built 1790, survives. There is also an older castle, little remains. See BALLYMULLIN in [Houses of Kerry].
Also described as just of Tralee.

He must be "George Cashel" who witnessed the marriage settlement of Agnes Blennerhassett (2nd cousin of his mother Sarah Rowan) 1761.
George Cashell, or Cashel, of Castlemorris and Rathanny, was High Sheriff of Co.Kerry 1783-1786.
George Cashell, of Castle Cashell (unidentified), is listed in J.P.'s of Co.Kerry, 1785. See p.266 of [Hickson, 1872].

He was involved in the political intrigue of 1815-16, i.e. the attempts to secure his brother Rowan's acquittal after the duel of 7 Aug 1815.
He registered a batch of freeholders as part of the plan to help his brother. Think it is Fuller who refers to "Registry", 20 Aug and 11 Oct 1815. Think this was burnt in 1922. No register of Co.Kerry voters from this time seems to survive.
There were similar exertions by other relatives of Rowan.
He must be:
George Cashel, JP, born 1780.
Lived Shallee House, Co.Tipperary.
He must be "George Cashell" who is listed in House of Commons Parliamentary papers, Volume 35, 1832, as one of the Magistrates in the Commission of the Peace in Co.Kerry.
He died June-July 1855 "at his residence, Shallee House, Co.Tipperary", age 75 yrs [Kerry Evening Post, Sat 7 July 1855, [BL.NL] M 21866].

Cashel of Shallee and New Zealand

George Cashel of Shallee, Co.Tipperary, went to New Zealand.
These seem to be related to Cashel of Bedford House, Co.Kerry.

George Cashel,
of Shallee House, Co.Tipperary.
He moved to New Zealand.
He must be George Cashel who is listed in an ad in the Daily Southern Cross, 1 February 1869, Page 2. He is proprietor of Tookey's Flat, Graham's Town, New Zealand, and renting out a property at Ohinemuri.
George Cashel is listed in Daily Southern Cross, 13 February 1869, Page 8, as proprietor of Belmont, Ohinemuri, New Zealand.

  He mar 7 Mar 1867 to Mary Elizabeth Cliff Franklin.
  She was eldest dau of Peter Highleiger Franklin, of Greenhills, Co.Limerick.

  Franklin of Greenhills are connected to Cashel of Bedford House, Co.Kerry.
  They mar at Isabella Villa, Onehunga, Auckland, New Zealand.
2. Grace Wilson Cashel,
  2nd dau, born 1848.
  See entry on Mark Russell's family tree.
  He has her related to Cashel of Bedford House, Co.Kerry, and the names "Grace" and "Wilson" suggest this is likely.
  The puzzle is how Cashel of Bedford House and Cashel of Shallee can be the same.
  She mar 16 Sept 1869 to Richard J. Middleton [of Grahamstown, New Zealand].
  They mar at Thames, New Zealand.
