Maria Suffolk[i] Sun 20 Jan 2002
Dear Antony Maitland,
An internet friend, Hugh Casement in Germany, sent me your website details regarding the fascinating account you've posted reg. Chadwick families, including Bell, Gurney, Fry and Wakefield. Everything in it is interesting, thank you so much for sharing this.
I'd like to ask whether you ever came across any mention of the Wakefield brother, John Howard, who went to India for East India Company in the army ? The relevant passage in your website is above (66).
Priscilla, married to Edward Wakefield and had issue, one of whom was Edward Gibbon Wakefield, founder of the Colony of New Zealand;
Katherine, married to John Gurney, of Earlham, County Norfolk, and was mother of Elizabeth Fry, the philanthropist also of Hannah, wife of Sir Thomas Powell Buxton, Baronet.
Actually, and it probably isn't terribly important with regard to your website, Priscilla Wakefield (nee Bell) and Edward Wakefield had children, one of whom was named Edward Wakefield again. This Edward married Susannah Crash, and it was they who sired Edward Gibbon Wakefield & siblings, one of whom was John Howard Wakefield, my own gr.gr.grandfather. I'm only mentioning it for clarity's sake. So, Priscilla Wakefield was the grandmother of Edward Gibbon Wakefield and of Arthur, of John Howard, and others.
Priscilla's sister Katherine Gurney and she were very close. I've borrowed from the NZ Turnbull Library the microfilms of copied diaries of Priscilla Wakefield, quite famous herself for work among deprived women in east end of London.
I myself live in a tiny village in Australia, so most of my research is done via the internet and libraries, and the help of a very good friend in UK who has beavered in the India Office, London.
What I found absolutely fascinating was to read the account of the visit of the King of Prussia, with a Mr Bunsen present. The Bunsens were in the diplomatic service for Prussia.
Elizabeth Fry was a cousin to Edward Wakefield and his wife Susannah Crash. The daughter of Elizabeth Fry, Katherine who looked after the house, would have been a second cousin to JHW, my gr.gr.grandfather.
You see, the daughter of John Howard Wakefield, born in India to him and an Indian aristocrat who took the name of Maria Suffolk on baptism, was called Lucy Catherine Wakefield.
Lucy Catherine Wakefield married Count Hugo Radolinski, Prussian, in 1863. He later became Prince Radolin, working as Private Secretary to the Kaiser. I have read somewhere that she married from a Gurney household in London, her father having died the year before in London (her mother in India in 1852).

I've always wondered why Lucy connected with a Prussian - your website does offer an explanation. I would welcome hearing from you.
My own line of research at present concentrates on finding the background to John Howard's wife, who unusually took Suffolk as part of her name. Descendants of theirs Germany have a photocopy of a portrait, showing clearly Maria Suffolk Wakefield as a full name, and this is also given on her burial certificate (obtained from India Office in London).
It has been Hugh Casement who put me in touch with these relatives, who descend from Lucy Catherine (nee Wakefield) and Hugo Radolin.
You might also be interested to know that a son of :

Rebecca, married to Abel Chapman (c).
given in your website was called Henry Chapman. He became an Assistant Surgeon to the East India Company and, further, married in 1836 (in India) the sister of John Howard Wakefield above, one Priscilla Susannah Wakefield who had gone to India to teach.
Well, I do hope you don't mind my approaching you on this matter and very much look forward to hearing any ideas you may have regarding my "quest".
With kind regards, Maria Suffolk
p.s. I took my gr.gr.grandmother's name by deed poll many years ago.

Appendix 2: BOURCHIER DESCENDANTS
Descended from Charlotte Chadwick
18 Jul 2002 "Cara Stewart"[iii]
Stumbled across your web site and discovered my husband's family on it. His grandfather is Wilfrid La Rive Bourchier who is a descendent of Charlotte Chadwick and John Bourchier.
In case you're interested, we have a miniature portrait of Sara Aher's mother Suzanna Wilkinson and Sara's grandfather William Cumberland Wilkinson as well as a sister of Sara's. Kate Aher died when she was about 14. There is a very good possibility we have some small bits of Chadwick silver. Several years ago I was told by an elderly aunt that the family crest on the silver was Chadwick. I've checked the marks on the pieces and think these might date to the late 18th century which could mean they came into the family with Charlotte. However, until more research has been done this is only speculation.
In case your're interested a book was published in the 19th about the Aher's and other branches. My husband, Simon Dalby, son of Nina Marion La Rive Bourchier, is now living in Ottawa, Canada. Given the number of your ancestors who ended up in Ontario I am tempted to say that "all roads lead to Ontario". (My family also arrived in Canada in the 1830s via Ontario.)
I was impressed with the amount of work that you've put into your family research.
8 Sep 2002:-
My husband family connects with the Chadwicks when Charlotte Chadwick marries John Bouchier in 1797. Their eldest son, John, marries Sarah Aher (I have miniature portraits of her, her father, and her daughter Kate) and a handful of generations later my husband, Simon Dalby, comes along. This particular Bourchier line seemed to suffer due to the consequences of WW1 so that despite a huge number of brothers and sisters only one of them produced children and these were girls.
You might be interested to know that these Bourchiers are descended from the Bourchier regicide who signed King Charles 1 death warrant. I'm still trying to figure out precisely how they ended up in Ireland but so far it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Cromwell or the need to flee.
To the best of my knowledge I believe that Charlotte and John lived at Baggotstown in Co. Limerick. The house/estate was confiscated by the Irish in 1905 so it is no longer owned by Bourchiers but the house is still standing. It looks a bit tired but still seems to exude a degree of charm. My Stewarts came from Banff, Scotland and first arrived in Canada East in the 1830s.
Appendix 3: More on Sally Chadwick
From Hugh Casement March 2003[iv].
Sally Chadwick and George Casement:-
he was the 4th and youngest son of George Casement, naval surgeon, of Larne, Co. Antrim, younger son by his 2nd wife Martha Montgomery. He was thus a half-brother of Maj.Gen. Sir William Casement of the supreme council of India. He was b. in Larne 1 May 1788 and d. at Mhow, Indore, 1 Nov. 1822; they m. at Bareilly 16 Apr. 1821. George was in the 21st Native Infantry.
She m. James Graham at Agra 24 Feb. 1823, less than 4 months after George's death. An indecently short period of mourning by our standards, but women of a marriageable age were in great demand in India and under considerable pressure.
I came across a story of a sergeant who proposed to a widow when she got home from burying her husband. She burst into tears, and he apologized for his undue haste. Turned out that the reason for her distress was that she'd already accepted an offer at the graveside -- from a mere corporal!
I believe James Graham came from Drumbo, Co. Down.
From Hugh Casement, 29/3/2003:
I've been sent the following details of Surgeon James Graham:
b. 28.1.1797. MD Edinbgh. Ass. Sgn 1.20; Sgn. 9.30; killed by mutineers
Sialkot 9.7.57.
In actions: Gwalior 43-4 (battle of Panier); 1st Sikh 45-6 Sobraon and
Fierozeshahar; 2nd Sikh 48-9 siege of Multan.
Some posting refs: 22 Sappers & Miners; 29 civil station Mahidpore; 36
Artillery; 42 Horse Arty; 50 and 52 leave; 56 supervisory sgn Transravee.
I don't know where my correspondent got it from, and presume it refers to the one who m. Sally Casement, née Chadwick. Apparently he was the son of William Graham of Drumbo, Co. Down (about 10 km S. of Belfast, near Lisburn).
Do you happen to know the date of the marriage? I was told that the card index at the India Office says it took place in Agra on 24 Feb. 1823. According to Hodson's List of Officers of the Bengal Army, George Casement d. 1 Nov. 1823.
Hodson could have mistaken the year, but there's further evidence: in the East India Directory for 1825 is a rather belated announcement of the birth of a son to the lady of Capt. G. Casement on 15 Mar. 1823. Even if it was a posthumous child (and Graham wasn't claiming paternity) I doubt she'd have been described like that if she'd already remarried. I conclude that George must really have d. in late 1823, and Sally remarried in 1824 (or even 1825).
Admittedly, there were other G. Casements alive in 1823, but this particular George was the only one both in India and of an age to be fathering children.
Do you know anything about that son? It was news to me; either d. in infancy or was adopted by Graham, I would think. Unfortunately E.M.C. doesn't give dates of birth for the Graham children.
Where I think E.M.C. may have made a mistake is in the date of Phoebe's marriage, which I copied from your web site as 1841. I believe they m. at Meerut on 14 Apr. 1847. He's in the Dictionary of Indian Biography and his family in Burke's Landed Gentry under Dingwall-Fordyce.
Also in Hodson is Col. Thomas Chadwick (1789-1861), 2nd son of Thomas of Barnascounce. His sister m. Charles Hamilton Bell of the Bengal Army.
Presumably that means Bell is also listed -- unfortunately I don't have the books.

The Betrayal and Execution of Paddy Grace
By John J. Hassett
Richard Chadwick 1800-1827 a local magistrate as well as weight master in Tipperary and land agent for Billy Sadlier of Sadliers Wells Tipperary, was a man of some importance in social and property circles in West and Mid Tipperary in 1827. His uncle, Billy Sadlier was landlord of considerable properties in County Tipperary and an active supporter and promoter of the Orange Order in Tipp Town. Chadwick resided at Reddins Walk, Tipperary, was about twenty-seven years of age and as weightmaster of Tipperary Town and district as well as a land agent, enjoyed a good income.
As a land agent he was firm by the standards of the time. He was in his second year in that capacity when he began to experience difficulty with some tenants on the Sadlier lands at Rathcannon. Evictions followed which led to unrest and the burning of a house and a few lots of hay. As a magistrate, Chadwick had the power to transfer police to the area. In May 1827 he had permission to erect a police barrack at Rathcannon, to curb and monitor the activities of secret societies operating in the area. On the last day of June 1827 he was in Rathcannon, to supervise the marking out of the foundations for the building to house the police, where the Balicourt in that townland now stands on the road linking Bohernacrusha to Clogher and Clonoulty. Having completed some rent collections the previous day and earlier on that Saturday morning of June 30th 1827, he arrived on the site at Rathcannon, about 1 1.20 am. The foreman on the site was Philip Mara, who with two of his brothers and nine locals were part of the building team present and ready to start work. At noon the first sod of the site was dug. Philip Mara the foreman was a tenant of Sadlier's, had difficulty meeting his rent, and was under pressure from Chadwick around December of 1826. After the usual deliberations in the wake of the cutting of the first sod, Chadwick, accompanied by Mara and a Malachy Neale proceeded towards Holycross; another worker, Gleeson, was also with them.
Feehan and Ryan were left in charge of the other six workers. After about eighty yards Gleeson turned and went back to the building site. When Chadwick had proceeded a further hundred yards he looked back and saw the men idling and sent Malachy Neale to put them to work. It was the last order he was to give on earth. Their business in travelling to Holycross was to purchase culm. When midway between where Rathcannon Balicourt is and Bohernacrusha, Chadwick leading his horse and Mara walking beside him were accosted by a gunman who demanded they give themselves up. Turning to Chadwick the gunman said "give yourself up you rascal!" Mara pleaded with the gunman not to shoot Chadwick when suddenly a second gunman shot Chadwick who then said, "Oh Mara I'm shot", he went on to say "I am killed". Mara ran from the scene to Bohernacrusha Page 89about 400 yards away, glancing back only after hearing a second shot. Mara proceeded to inform Mr. Lloyd and Captain Wilson who called the police. Chadwick's body was brought to Ned Carey's house. On examination of the body three wounds were visible to the head, hip and breast; any one of them would have been fatal. The drama of early afternoon ending in the death of Richard Chadwick at about 12.50p.m. resulted in a murder hunt starting about 4 pm the same day. No one of about forty people in Bohernacrusha village responded to Mara's alarming news immediately after the shooting except to retreat indoors. The building site to which Mara, one would consider, should have gone first, and from which the shots could easily be heard was close by, but this did not result in workers rushing to the scene to offer help. The alleged two gunmen left the scene of the crime and calmly faded into the high-hedged fields of the countryside. The police from Thurles arrived in Bohernacrusha around 4 pm. Chadwick's body had been moved to Ned Carey's house and a medical examination of it took place and a murder hunt was initiated. Mara was put under close examination by Lloyd and Wilson as well as the police. Realising he was a prime suspect, he identified Paddy Grace as one of the two alleged gunmen, and went on to give a dramatic account of Chadwick's killing. When it became apparent after a few days that Mara was an informer he was given police protection. On Mara's information twenty-six year old Paddy Grace was arrested on Sunday morning July 1st 1827 at about 4 am by the police on suspicion of involvement in the murder of Richard Chadwick. Grace was the eldest of four brothers and three sisters all residing in their parents home at Ballytarsna. They farmed forty acres of quality land at Old Road, Ballytarsna, close to Ballytarsna Castle, Their dwelling was almost opposite the current residence of Owen Bennett. Grace was a noted foe of landlord oppression and would be known as such to the police. His family were good farmers and by the standards of the time were better educated and financially stronger than the average tenant farmer. Paddy, as the eldest son, had marked out a site for a new house beside Ballytarsna Castle a few days prior to Chadwick's death. On the morning of Chadwick's killing, according to his brother John in court evidence, Paddy and he were shovelling clay up to potatoes, known as 'earthing' them. Tradition has it that Grace was about to get married and the site where his new home was to be, is still visible today one hundred and seventy two years later. As suspicion grew that Philip Mara had turned informer a fury and hatred of great intensity grew towards him and his family. Grace on arrest was conveyed to Thurles and on Monday July 2nd brought to the Bridewell in Cashel. As a highly popular, respected, and in some places, a feared man, his arrest was a cause of excitement and anger among the people.
They were volatile times in County Tipperary especially mid-Tipperary, as campaigns against the payments of tithes to the established Protestant Church and for further
Page 90
reform of the law restricting Catholics' involvement in certain State activities were under way. On Wednesday June 17th 1827 at 6 pm a party of men attacked James and William Scott of Ballagh on their return from valuing tithes for Rev. Pobert Carew Armstrong, Rector of Ballintemple. They seized their valuation books.
James Scott was severely beaten, though an old man, and William, who ran away, was shot at and seriously wounded. On Saturday 30th as Chadwick was being killed at Rathcannon two men named Davern and Ryan, also tithe valuers, were attacked by another party of men near Knockaville. Both men were on the anti tithe group's list as enemies of their cause. On Monday July 2nd close to Tipperary town a man conveying a load of potatoes was accosted and his potatoes taken from, him by a mob. On Friday August ]7th the trial of Paddy Grace was held in the Criminal Court at Clonmel. The Solicitor General, Mr. Doherty, and a high powered legal team acted for the Crown. judge Burton and a jury comprised of Orangemen presided. Mr. Hatchell K.C. an able barrister, defended Grace. Philip Mara was the key witness for the prosecution. He knew Grace, was a member, with his brothers, of the secret society which Grace controlled. Mara probably supplied Grace with the information on Chadwick's presence in Rathcannon and knew that a plan to kill Chadwick as a result of his actions against tenants was in place. The remarkable return of Gleeson and Malachy Neale to the building site after accompanying Chadwick and Mara a short distance two minutes before Chadwick was accosted was suspicious also. Mara was in protective custody from early July and maintained firmly his account of events, and his identification of Grace as the man who accosted them. The Holycross stone mason became the object of ridicule, scorn and hatred immediately. Edmund Kelly for the defence stated that Mara in his presence stated at Christmas 1826 that Chadwick should be met and killed, to ease the woe of the Rathcannon tenants. William Burke and Michael Ryan who were cutting soil, possibly turf, close to the Rathcannon river the day Chadwick was shot, saw two gunmen who warned them not to tell the police they passed that way; neither of them was Grace. The judge in a careful summing up to the jury outlined the legal issues and highlighted the aspects of the case they had to address. Within fifteen minutes of retiring they returned a guilty verdict. Sentence of death was passed by the judge to which Grace replied in a firm voice, "welcome be the grace of God." He was immediately moved under a massive military guard to the local jail. On Monday August 20th 1827 under a heavy military escort he was moved from Clonmel jail at 5 am bound to a common car for conveyance to Rathcannon for execution. The convoy comprised of the police in a circle around the car to which Grace was bound, and a company of the 58th regiment then in Clonmel. Ahead of them were two vehicles containing the scaffold on which Grace was to be executed and at the rear the hangman surrounded by a party of police. Despite the early
Page 91
hour, 5.30 am, from Clonmel to Rathcannon people gathered in vast numbers to witness the final trip of Paddy Grace to his place of execution. At ten o'clock the convoy reached Cashel where fresh military reinforcements comprised of a company of rifles and a troop of Scots Greys from Cahir relieved the Clonmel escort.
At Cashel, Grace was led into the Bridewell by Captain Wilcox who was attentive and kind to the prisoner. Grace took some refreshments including bread, wine and water offered him by the Captain. just before noon the procession left Cashel. All along the route to Rathcannon huge crowds joined the convoy. At Tubberadora the convoy halted to let Grace have a final look at Ballytarsna. At 2.45 pm they reached Rathcannon. While the scaffold was being erected Grace met his family and spoke to them for about ten minutes. With the prison chaplain he spent several minutes in prayer before ascending the scaffold. In a brief address delivered in a firm voice he advised against drunkenness, vice and crime, which were contrary to the laws of God. He also, according to tradition, condemned the system that made people act in the manner which he had done. In a veiled hint, he said, "before 1 am twelve months in my grave, things will happen over which we will have no control." His words were to prove prophetic. After Grace concluded, the prison chaplain as if surprised at his words, uttered a firm warning to all and sundry against involvement in Secret Societies. Within seconds of the Rev. Brennan concluding, the hangman did his job and Grace was dropped to his death. His brothers prayed beneath the scaffold and were granted permission to take down his body. They embraced his remains and requested that they be allowed to bury it in Ballytarsna at little Church. This was refused and the body was returned to Cashel Fever Hospital for dissection. Tradition has it that members of the secret society with the co-operation of some medical staff removed Grace's body from the hospital for burial in Boytonrath. Within weeks of Grace being laid to rest things began to happen over which he had no control, a story that must await for another year to tell. Paddy Grace was the last person to be executed in Ireland at the location of the crime. He was a defender of his people against a cruel system who paid the supreme sacrifice for his actions on behalf of an impoverished downtrodden community.
Appendix 7: Rev Richard Chadwick
Back to Richard Chadwick's Family
Extracts received from John Kelly, Hillview, Chadville, Cappawhite Co. Tipperary Ireland: J Kelly[v] 9/2002.
Extract from Toemverig by Áine Ryan 1992 ie history of Toem in the parish of Cappawhite Co Tipperary
In 1781, Richard Chadwick was appointed curate to the Civil parish of Toem and Donohill in the Cashel Diocese Co. Tipperary Ireland until 1792. He was then appointed Prebendary of Doon Co Limerick an adjoining parish.
The earliest allusion that we can find to the church that stood at Toem is in the Down Survey (1657), when it was stated to be in ruins. It was rebuilt after the Restoration, as appears from a church‑list of 1667‑70. From the middle of the 18th century Toem allusions are fairly numerous in the Visitation Books. It was in repair in 1744 and 1753.
In 1780 it was reported that the church, churchyard, books and vestments were in very bad order, while in the following year there was said to be "no church." However, some repairs were effected., from 1782 it was described as been in excellent order. In 1784 the Rural Dean complained that boys played handball against the church, “which is indecent . We can hardly blame them for utilizing such a tempting surface of bare wall. This practice went on with respect to other churches in the diocese, but in one instance at least a stop was put to this by the simple expedient of ploughing up the ground where the ball hopped. In 1788 it was reported that the pulpit and the pew belonging to the Rev. R. Chadwick (who resided at Chadville) were in good order, but that the remaining pews were in decay as the parishioners would not take the trouble to get them mended. In 1777 and 1797 the outside was being repaired, while the interior was in a very bad way; however, in 1805 matters were improved in this respect. Yet, in 1834 the church is described as ruinous, impossible to repair, and inconveniently situated, and it was then proposed that a new one should be erected on the townland of Cappawhite; this proposal was not carried out. Nothing was done immediately, for Lewis, writing three years later, says: "The Church is a small dilapidated building, and it is in contemplation to erect another; in the meantime service is performed in Cappagh House." The latest church must have been erected shortly after this, though we have not been able to find out the exact date. Subsequently to the erection of Donohill church in 1856 (Aghacrew) service was held in the two simultaneously, but Toem gradually fell into disuse, and for some years before 1880 was only used for occasional services. A baptism was administered there as late as 1886. It was taken down about 1890 as in the Vestry Book a resolution stands under that year to the effect that the bell which formerly hung in the tower should be sold to the Rev. W.H. Lindesay, L.L.D., for four pounds while three years later portion of the money realised by the sale of the materials was used to repair the roof of Donohill church. The tower still remains, a conspicuous object in the landscape.
Rev Richard Chadwick : extract from the “Dún Bleisce ~ a History “1990 ie History of Doon Co. Limerick Ireland
Accordingly to the Succession of the prelates & Members of the Cathedral bodies of Ireland for the Diocese of Cashel 1790.
Richard Chadwick MA collated July 20tth. Installed August 4th.. He resigned on 29th January 1811 for the parish of Doon Co Limerick
In 1781 Richard Chadwick was curate of Doon Union
From the 4th Ecclesiastical Commission Report for Ireland in 1838:"Doone Glebe House and offices in excellent order, built under the old acts in 1800 at the cost of six hundred and forty six pounds, three shillings and one penny. But of which sum ninety two pounds six shillings and two pennies was granted in way of a gift by the late Board of First Fruits, and the residue of five hundred and fifty three pounds, sixteen shillings and 11 pennies was supplied out of the private funds of the builder (Rev Richard Chadwick) to whom the present incumbent (Rev Charles Coote) is second in succession, and having paid his predecessor four hundred and fifteen pounds seven shillings and eight and a half pennies on account of the sum last named and since expended £1,053 British in improvements under certificate, he will be entitled to receive £1,066 thirteen shillings and five and a half pennies from his successor, on account of the building and improvement changes. Incumbent is constantly resident in the glebe‑house."
This house was two storeys over a basement with a southerly aspect. The main entrance was from the Knocknacarriga side with a sweeping drive through the lawn on which still stands many beautiful mature trees. There is a completely enclosed court‑yard directly at the back of the house, one side of this is taken up by a protruding wing from the back of the house, with the other two wings taken up by stables and staff quarters. Because the house is built on a steep north sloping hill there are fine brick vaulted out‑houses and cellars under the left hand wing of the courtyard, these are connected by an unusual passageway to the house itself. 30 metres to the east is a fine kitchen‑garden much intact. The outline of a large conservatory to the right of the house when facing it can still be traced. It also had tennis courts and a billiard room and tradition has it that there was a Mass Path through the yard during the Penal Times.
The house was maliciously burnt down during the 'troubles' and is beyond repair, but as is usual with a lot of these country houses, the stables and outbuildings are in remarkably good condition.

THE B1G HOUSES AROUND CAPPAMORE CO LIMERICK IRELAND
GLEBE HOUSE Built by Rev Richard Chadwick Preb. of Doon Civil Parish Co. Limerick Ireland
The 'Glebe House' which is situated in the townland of Knocknacarriga in the East end of the Parish was the residence of the Protestant Clergy for the Parish of Doon as Knocknacarriga was in that parish until 1973. This magnificent house was built around the year 1808 by Rev. Richard Chadwick at the expense of £700, of which £100 was received from the Board of First Fruits. This following extract is from John ODonovan's Ordnance Survey of 1840
"This Glebe contains 41 acres, which are arable with limestone. The latter is sold through all parts of the parish. The Glebe House, the seat of the Rev. Thomas Atkinson, Preb, is situated near the centre of the Glebe, and is 3 stories high. It was built in 1808 by the Rev. Richard Chadwick at the expense of £700, of which £100 was from the Board of First Fruits and exclusive of the above sum, a further £1, 143 was spent on it in 1831".
Glebe House was a three storey mansion complete with an enclosed courtyard at the back of the house containing cellars, stables and servants quarters. (1). It also had a walled in orchard and kitchen garden. For entertainment there was a billiard room and in later years a tennis court and there was a conservatory adjoining the house. There was also a gate lodge although there is no trace of it left now. This lodge is referred to in the Protestant Church Records for Doon and is also referred to in the Official Documents of this holding. There are two entrances up to the house, one from the Gortnascarry side and the other on the Knocknacarriga side, this being the main entrance. The gates, it is said were made by a local man, Mr. Crowe who lived in Knocknacarriga and they are said to have had his stamp on them. (2). The hill on which Glebe House was built was once covered in 10‑15 acres of trees and the avenue up to the house was lined with trees but now there are very few left.
A number of vicars have resided at 'The Glebe'. Rev. Richard Chadwick B.A. was the first. He was succeeded in 1811 by Edward Labeste M.A. and in 1813 by Rev. Charles Coote M.A. who has been referred to in the Tithe War. The tithes were a form of tax paid by both Catholics and Protestants for the support of the Established Church. C.1831 a number of Catholics refused to pay the tithes encouraged by the local Catholic Priest, Fr. Hickey. 7. Rev. Thomas Atkinson M.A. succeeded Rev. Coote 1838 and was therefore in residence during the Famine Years' in Ireland.
During the Famine, people were dying of starvation and many were being evicted by their landlord for not having paid their rent. Rev. Atkinson saw this as an opportunity to increase his flock. Bible schools and soup kitchens were set up. Food was offered as a bribe, and in exchange for food a person had to renounce their Catholic faith and become Protestant. There was a soup kitchen in the Glebe (3) and also in the Erasmus Smyth School, which was set up by Rev. Atkinson in this Parish. John Bogwell Cordon, M.A. succeeded Rev. Atkinson in 1865.Rev. Alexander McLoughlin was the next occupant in 1872. According to the Church records; '1874 August 23, Arthur Mansell son to Grace and Alexander McLoughlin of Doon Glebe (clergyman)" was baptised. Rev. McLoughlin was succeeded by Canon John White Bell as Rector in Doon when Cappamore was united with Doon in 1893.
Canon J. White Bell was the last Protestant minister to have charge of
in Doon Glebe, although it appears that he continued to reside in
Cappamore Glebe. He ministered in Cappamore from 1878 and in the united
parish of Doon and Cappamore from 1893. He had two children a son,
Willie who joined the British Army in 1914 and who was killed during
World War 1 and a daughter Mary (Mollie). Mollie married a Captain Parr
who was a son of William Parr, Bank Manager.M. Captain Parr was also
Commissioner Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs. (5). He bought the lands
and Glebe House in March 1904 from the 'Representative Body of the
Church of Ireland' (sic).
On the 12th November 1908 Kathleen Molly was born to William and Mary
Parr and died on 13th March, 1909 aged 4 months.
By 1918 Captain Parr had moved to Shanghai in China and the House and
approximately 5 statute acres of land were temporarily let to the
Munster and Leinster Bank for the purpose of a Bank Managers
residence.(6). The letting was for two years commencing on the first of
January 1918 and thereafter on a yearly tenancy terminable by six months
on either side on 1st.January and 1st. July. on side and the rent was £45
payable half yearly on lst January and 1st July. The Munster and
Leinster Bank opened in Doon on Thursday 14th February, 1918 at a
temporary premises which was at James O'Dwyers (Hibernian House).M.
There were also sub‑offices in Cappamore, Cappawhite and Kilcommon. Then
on the 7th February, 1919 a plot was purchased to build a bank house
which was opened for business on September 27th, 1921. The Bank Manager
was Mr. Kelly Lynch.8
In 1919, Captain Parr, now Major Parr, put the property and Glebe House
up for sale by Public Auction.

Besides selling the Glebe House and property, he was also selling lands in Knocknacarriga and Ballycoshown. The tenants on these holdings were Thomas Quigley, John Ryan, Mary Kelly and John Cilbert who rented the Lodge. The new owner took over their leases.
At this time the house was described as follows:
The property offered for sale consists of a very desirable residence known as Doon House with stabling for six horses also out offices, orchard, shrubbery, kitchen garden and Paddock. The House which is well sheltered contains on the ground floor Drawing Room, Diningroom, Billiard Room, Morning Room, Front and Back Halls, Large Kitchen, 2 Pantries and Scullery.

There is a valuable and extensive turf bank which adjoins the public road and is quite convenient to the house. The turf is of excellent quality and can be readily let, the rent being estimated each year according to the quantity cut. The Poor Law Valuation of said Dwelling house is £25 and of the lands £58.5.0
The property lies about one mile from Cappamore and about 3 miles from Pallas which is the nearest Railway Station".
Mr. McCarthy purchased Glebe House and
property through the Irish Land Commission under the Land Purchase Acts. Mr.
McCarthy continued to let the dwelling house to the bank. During this time the
War of Independence had commenced. During these troubled times, the Glebe House
was burned down, as information was received that the British Army were going
to 'take' the house as a look out position because it was built on a hill and
had a commanding view of the surrounding countryside. (10). It is believed that
petrol which was stolen from Castlegarde on the said night was used for the
inferno which could be seen from the
adjoining
parishes.
In old Church records, the names of people, who had been employed employed at Glebe House throughout the years, occur, Mr. James Bovinger, who came from West Limerick, and Bob Best and George Church who were from the North of Ireland served as Emergency men. These Emergency Men were brought in by landlords to take over and work farms from which tenants had been evicted. They also provided work on behalf of boycotted landlords and were under police protection. They were financed by an Emergency Committee of the Orange Order. Bob Best was married to Mary Ann Church and they lived on the Doon Road.
Mr. James Moylan once served as farm Bailiff at the Glebe. Others include Edward Bibby and Tom George who worked as Coachmen and lived in the Gate Lodge. Samuel Switzer also worked as Coachman at the Glebe around 1904. Mr. Willie Martin was employed as Driver to Rev. John White Bell.
Since 1921, the Glebe House stands in ruins, partly covered in ivy, its days of elegance long over.

Edward Cecil William Mockler was born on June 24, 1893 in Ireland. He entered the service of The Canadian Bank of Commerce in August 1912. Enlisting in August 1914 from the Humbolt, Saskatchewan branch, he joined the 9th Canadian Battalion and was later transferred to the 1st Canadian Battalion. Mockler fought at Langemarck and the Second Battle of Ypres in 1915. He was severely wounded during the first German gas attack at Ypres and succumbed to those wounds on May 7, 1915.
Excerpt from his obituary:
With sincere sorrow we chronicle the sad death of this promising young soldier who died in the military hospital, Cambridge, on 7th (May) from wounds received in battle in France on 23rd of April. He belonged to the first Canadian Regiment.
From the particulars we have been able to obtain it appears that, on account of his knowledge of the French language, he was taken by his commanding officer on a special mission in the carrying out of which they had to cross the enemy's line of fire, and had only covered about five hundred yards when the Major fell mortally wounded. The gallant young soldier, immediately in the face of a storm of shot and shell, went to the assistance of his officer, who on point of death, ordered him to go on.
In obedience he resumed his perilous journey, but had not gone far when he received what turned out to be his death wound - a shrapnel charge in the back, which penetrated a lung. To avoid further injuries, he threw himself down on the ground but did not escape other wounds of a more or less serious character, as well as the gas which had been directed against the French lines which he was trying to reach, and which caused the French to break away.
After crawling inch by inch for about six hours he succeeded in reaching his own lines, and although suffering awful agony he got into the ambulance unassisted, and was conveyed to the base. Passing through four hospitals, always on a stretcher, he eventually arrived at Cambridge at midnight on the 1st [of May]. Here he lingered until Friday last when he passed away, having received every care and attention from the hospital staff.

MOCKLER, Lance Corporal Edward Cecil
William. Born in Ballinderry on the 24.6.1893 he was educated at the local
school. At the aged of 13 he won an Incorporated Society’s exhibition which
entitled him to three years free education at Dundalk Institution. A second
exhibition gave him two more years and residence at Mountjoy School in Dublin.
On completing his education he emigrated to Canada, against the advice of his
principal who wanted him to go to Trinity. Having secured a post with the
Canadian Bank of Commerce he sailed for Montreal in July 1912 and lived in
Humboldt, Saskatchewan for two years before joining up at Valcartier Camp,
Quebec on the 22.9.14 aged 21 years and 3 months. A single man, he had no
previous military experience, was 5’ 8½” inches tall, of a dark complexion with
blue eyes and dark hair, he had a scar on the left side of his head. After
training at Valcartier he served in 1 CI WOR (I8822) being posted first to
Salisbury and then to the Western Front in late march or early April 1915. He
died in the military hospital in Cambridge on the 7.5.15 age 21 from wounds
received at Langemarck near Ypres on the 22 or 23 April. Because of his
knowledge of French, he had been asked by Major Kimmins to accompany him to the
French lines. On their way there Kimmins was killed and Mockler hit in the back
by shrapnel which punctured his lung. Although he took cover, he was hit
several more times as well as being exposed to the gas which the Germans had
released on the French. It took him six hours to crawl back to his own lines
from where he was taken back to base, eventually arriving in hospital in
Cambridge late on the 1 May. His father was able to visit him in hospital
before his death and had his remains brought home on Sunday the 9th for burial
on Tuesday 11th. The son of Edward Mockler of Fruithill, Rose Lane Ends,
Ballinderry, Co. Antrim who sat on the Lisburn Board of Guardians, he is buried
in the family plot in Ballinderry Middle Church Cemetery, Ballinderry. According
to a report of the funeral in the Standard, “There was a large number present
and it was evident from the tear-brimmed eyes seen on all sides that the
deceased was held in very high esteem in the neighbourhood in which he was born
and reared. Numerous wreaths were sent by relatives and friends.” There is no
headstone inscription. A separate headstone records the death of Alice Maud
Mockler on the 28.4.1895 and Thomas McCleavy Mockler on the 26.10.1922. A Miss
Mockler of Ballinderry is also recorded in the Belfast News Letter of 4.7.16 as
a contributor to comforts sent out to soldiers in 11 RIR in the first half of
1916.
The events in which Mockler was involved were described by John McCleland a
Dunmurry man who was also serving in the CEF. In a letter home to a friend in
the village he wrote, “I expect you have heard all about our heavy casualty
list. We got it good and hard while it lasted, but I might tell you we gave
quite as much as we got until the Germans started shelling with the poison gas
fumes. I could fill quite a few sheets of writing paper with what I came
through from April 22nd up until the morning of the 24th when I got hit and
half poisoned as well. We made two charges with fixed bayonets. I came through
the two charges without a scratch, but three hours later I was giving a wounded
comrade a drink and I got it good with a large chunk of shrapnel in the
shoulder fracturing some of the bones; but the gas is worse than their biggest
shells. The Germans did their best to break through our lines, but all efforts
failed. They even drove the French Algerians out of their position, and that’s
where we lost so many in recapturing the lost ground. We lost very heavily but
we saved the situation. To tell you proper, if they had got through and crossed
safely over the Yser canal there would have been nothing to prevent them being
in Calais”. It is not clear whether John McClelland survived the war or not.
There are a number of casualties with that name in the Commonwealth War Graves
Commission register but it is impossible to say whether he is one of them. As
for Major A. E. Kimmins, the CWGC records that he died on the 24 April 1915. He
has no known grave and is commemorated on the Menin Gate Memorial.
