Everard (No. 2.) family genealogy

Arms: Same as “Everard,” No. 1.

An exhaustive and able disquisition on the Irish origin of this name may be seen in the eighteenth chapter of the third volume of Dr. Lanigan’s Ecclesiastical History. But whether the Everards are of Irish or Anglo-Norman extraction, Fethard[1] must, at all events, be considered the cradle of the Everard family of the county Tipperary. The common stock, whence all the Everards of Tipperary have sprung, is described by Molyneux as “Nicholas Everard, of Fethard, Esq.” (See No. 1 on the “Everard,” No. 1, pedigree.) The third in descent from the said Nicholas was Sir John Everard of Fethard, Knt., who about the year 1600, was one of the leading citizens of his native town, and subsequently prominent amongst the foremost public men in Ireland. On account of his great legal attainments he was surnamed “the Lawyer.” He was appointed Judge, and in the discharge of the duties of that high office his career was creditable to himself and useful to his country. Trouble, however, overtook him in the form of persecution for conscience’ sake; but, having “great repute for honestie” and the courage of his convictions, he would not for any consideration acknowledge a doctrine which, in his heart, he believed to be false. He refused to take the Oath of Supremacy, resigned his position on the Bench, and fell into disfavour with those then in power. A signal mark of honour awaited him at the hands of his Catholic Countrymen. In the Irish Parliament summoned, in 1613, Sir John Everard was chosen Speaker[2] of the House of Commons. A full account of that memorable Election is given in the “Hibernia Anglicana,” where in a very interesting narrative, in which the Author of that work repeatedly sneers at Sir John, are distinctly and faithfully mirrored the disgraceful and lamentable state of things, at that period in Ireland, and the unhappy relations which then existed between England and that distracted country. The secession of the “recusant” party from Parliament, the fate of the deputation of that body to state their case before the King in London, its reception by James I., and his address to the Irish delegates, are matters familiar to ordinary readers of Irish History. Sir John[3] had three sons, and a daughter who was married to Henry White, an ancestor of Lord Dunally. In 1661, the male descendants of the eldest son of Sir John became extinct in the third generation. The second son was named Richard, who, a few years before his father’s death, which occurred in 1624, was created a Baronet. The provision made for this son, in Sir John’s Will, is as follows:

Sir Richard married Catherine Tobin, daughter of the chief of that name in the neighbourhood of Fethard. Tie date of that event has been preserved by means of the gift of a chalice bearing on its hexagonal foot the following inscription:

In the little church erected by Sir Richard within the walls which surrounded his castle at Shanrahan, and dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, that sacred vessel was used in the celebration of the Divine Mysteries. In the course of time their marriage was blessed with a son and two daughters. From the Records of the Rolls it appears that Sir Richard Everard, “Knight and Barronett,” was a very extensive proprietor of land in the barony of Iffa and Offa, county Tipperary. To him belonged “the manor, castle, town and lands, of Ballyboy;” “the manor, castle, town and lands, of Shanraghin,” and several other places around Clogheen. Sir Richard, in 1631, lived in the Castle at Ballyboy; close to which was the magnificent fortress of Fitzgibbon, the White Knight. About this period Sir Richard built a formidable military stronghold, which was in the form of a parallelogram, and was flanked at each angle by a small square tower. This was the favourite residence of the family, and was called “Everard’s Castle.” This Castle stood in the midst of a fertile plain, extending from the foot of “Galtybeg” to Clogheen; and around that stronghold were one thousand acres which, also, belonged to Sir Richard. The manor of Everard’s Castle was “erected” in 1639. With the War (by some called the “Rebellion”) in Ireland of 1641 came great and endless troubles for Sir Richard. On that memorable occasion the Irish were the Royalists; the English in Ireland were the anti-Royalists or Puritans. For the first two years of the War Sir Richard kept aloof from both parties; but for not joining with them the “old” Irish took away from him “160 cows, 33 stud mares, and 2,000 sheep.” The tenants on his Estate were subjected to similar treatment; the richest of whom with their flocks and goods Sir Richard conveyed to “safe quarters.” There were still a number of families, consisting of eighty-eight individuals, who were so poor as to be unable to remove, and these notwithstanding the storm that raged outside, Sir Richard, acting on the defensive, maintained, at his own expense, until the middle of June, 1642. “The gentlemen,” says Carte,[4] “in this part of the Kingdom were exceeding careful to prevent bloodshed and to preserve the English from being plundered; several instances may be given thereof; but few deserve better to be particularized than Sir Richard Everard, Bart.” And after narrating some of the many good deeds of Sir Richard, during that stormy period, Carte adds: “There are so many acts of horror, cruelty, and inhumanity necessary to be recounted in the history of these times, that I fancy the reader will be somewhat relieved by the relation of so remarkable an instance of compassion, tenderness and generosity to the distressed.”

Later on, when the object of the Catholic Confederation was clearly known and defined, Sir Richard readily joined the popular movement, and, in 1646, was one of the Confederate Catholics who sat, in what might be designated, the “Irish Parliament at Kilkenny.” Sir Richard was a man of considerable ability, courtly manners, fine personal presence and good address, and was much esteemed by the moderate party and the Catholic Bishops.

Cromwell’s presence in Ireland soon put an end to the deliberations of the Confederates at Kilkenny, and desolation marked his progress throughout the land. In the Spring of 1650, Cromwell, on his way from Youghal to the siege of Clonmel, took and burnt Everard’s Castle: hence its present name Burntcourt. Nothing daunted, however, Sir Richard, who was a better soldier than legislator, and whose gallant exploits at this time rendered him very popular, offered every opposition to Cromwell’s march; but he was ultimately compelled to retire to Limerick, where he proved himself one of its bravest defenders. A fair estimate of his great services in the interests of “Creed and Country” may be had from the fact that on the capture of that city, Sir Richard Everard was placed in the same category with the gallant defender of Clonmel, namely Hugh Dubh O’Neill, and the patriotic Bishop of Emly, the Most Rev. Dr. Terence O’Brien; and, like them, was one of the illustrious band of twenty-four Irishmen, whom Cromwell’s general (Ireton) sentenced to be hanged!

When victory, at length, declared in favour of the arms of the Republicans (or Cromwellians, as they were called) in this country and in England, the Adventurers who advanced money to carry on the war, and the officers and soldiers who took part in it, entered on the possession of the estates of those Irish Lords and Gentlemen who were amongst the vanquished Royalists. Incredible as it may appear, two “Adventurers,” named Cunningham and Dick, had the audacity to seize on a great portion of the property of the Everard family about Clogheen. Amongst others, Sir Thomas Stanley,[5] who ranked as Colonel in Cromwell’s army, obtained another portion in that quarter. Sir Redmond Everard, who was a distinguished officer amongst the cavaliers, succeeded, on the death of his father Sir Richard, merely to the title, but was obliged to observe a respectful silence regarding the new settlers; and deemed it prudent, also, to keep at a safe distance from his father’s property during the interregnum. While the Protectorate lasted, Sir Redmond, like many other Irish gentlemen, found himself in the most unenviable and straitened circumstances. He was not looked upon with favour by the Regicide Government, because of his exertions to sustain the tottering House of the Stuarts. For above a decade of years (1650 to 1661) Sir Redmond was thus obliged to be content with his lot, till the death, at the latter date, of the last of the male members of the eldest branch of the family (most of whom had probably perished in the previous wars); whereupon, Sir Redmond succeeded as “next heir,”—not to the Burntcourt, but to the Fethard Estates. Now that Charles II. was on the throne, one might expect that the King would not be unmindful of his Irish friends and supporters. But no: Sir Redmond among them was forced to wait for a second term of over ten years (1661 to 1673) before regaining possession of his father’s property; and even then only obtained a “part” of same, as appears from the following in Patent Rolls, Ano. 25 Charles II.:—“The lands hereafter mentioned being vested in the King, by the Act of Settlement, as lands set out to T. Cunningham and Lewis Dick, pretended Adventurers, and his Majesty, considering the many good and faithful services performed by Sir Redmond Everard, Bart., who was particularly provided for in his Majesty’s gracious Declaration for the Settlement of Ireland, to be restored to his estate whereof the said lands are part, was pleased to restore the same to him and his heirs, pursuant to Privy Seal, dated at Whitehall, 24th January, 1672,” viz.: the Castles, Messuages, and Lands of and in

To pay the same Quit Rents as were payable by Adventurers for Lands in the Province of Munster.

“Inrolled, 5 December, 1673.”

Now the “particular provision,” referred to in the above extract, and made for Sir Redmond[6] in His Majesty’s Declaration in 1661, was, to put it plainly, a mere acknowledgment on the part of the King, of the right and title of Sir Redmond to continue in the undisturbed possession of the family property at Fethard, to which he had a just and indisputable claim as next heir. A grant of one’s own property, or a Royal Patent to retain it, seems at present rather strange; but, doubtless, it was more intelligible in the period of which we treat. While the 2,000 acres which he was “to be restored unto,” in consideration of his services “beyond the seas,” never came into his possession up to the moment of his death;[7] nor is there any evidence that this grant of land became, at any subsequent period, the property of any other member of the family.

Margaret, the youngest daughter of Sir Redmond, lived in Kilcash Castle, and witnessed strange vicissitudes in the history of her family and country. She never married. Her mother was of the Ormond Butlers; and it is curious what a fascination her “Kinsmen,” the young Butlers, exercised over her, if we judge by the affectionate language and substantial legacies in her Will, in their favour. The more distant and poorer relations of her own name, whom perhaps she looked down upon as “odious approximations,” were passed over; but, unquestionably, she was much indebted to the Butlers for affording her so safe and comfortable a retreat, when Fethard, under the new regime, became too hot for any of the name of Everard. She died in 1753, and her remains were interred “in the Vault, at Kilcash Church.”

Sir John Everard, Bart., of Fethard, son of Sir Redmond, was married to Ellen Butler, eldest daughter of Pierce, Lord Cahir. He was Captain of the regiment of Horse commanded by Colonel Nicholas Purcell; was present at the Boyne; and was killed at the battle of Aughrim, in 1691. He was one of the attainted officers of the service of King James. The greater portion of his property after this was confiscated, but a miserable remnant passed to his son, Sir Redmond, and certain interests in smaller portions were, later on, allowed to Claimants[8] of his kindred. The great bulk of the property passed by sale or grants into strange hands. This Sir Redmond was the last of the Baronets of the family. He was married and had no issue. He lived for some years in Fethard, in the Castle built by him opposite the family mansion from which he had been ousted by the victorious Williamite soldiers. This “new” Castle, situated on the bank of the stream “Glashanly,”[9] is now a ruin.

In the Irish Parliament Sir Redmond represented the co. Tipperary, in the early part of the last century, the borough of Fethard, and the city of Kilkenny. With some others he strove to prevent the Enactment of the Penal Laws. Finding all efforts unavailing, and foreseeing the inevitable, he left the country, and retired to France, where, in 1746, he died.

In this paragraph the attention of the reader will be directed to the descendants of the third son of Sir John Everard, Knt. In his Will, dated 1624, Sir John made provision, also, for his son Gabriel’s children, whose names were Geoffrey, Joseph, and Charles. He bequeathed to the heir of Gabriel property in the counties of Tipperary and Waterford. In his Will, and in Roll V. f. 27 of “Decrees of Innocents,” the various townlands so bequeathed are mentioned. Geoffrey died in 1642, early in life, leaving behind a son James, only two years old. The minor’s title to the property was admitted, but “the profits of the said estate were received by the nearest friends of Claimant, until the lands were seized by the usurped powers.” The “nearest friends” were Joseph[10] and Charles; but the former having renounced the world, and taken the habit of the Order of St. Francis, upon Charles, who previously had resided in Fethard, devolved the management of the estate and the charge of his nephew. Charles lived for a few years in that quarter and was married. His name appears amongst “the 1649 Officers;” and a superb monument erected to his memory may be still seen in the Churchyard at Churchtown, co. Waterford. James attained his majority in 1661, and lodged a petition on the “6th Nov., 14° Charles II.,” against some Cromwellian settlers who had taken possession of his property. Nearly two years after he succeeded in recovering possession, as appears, from the following decree issued on the 11th July, 16° Charles II.:”

He ranked as Captain in the Irish Army, and was rewarded for his loyalty to James II., by having his entire property confiscated[11] by William III. His descendants, it is said, are still alive, and own “Chateau Everard,” in the neighbourhood of Paris. From Charles, the grandson of Sir John, Knt., was descended Edmond Everard, of Carrigmore, Gent. (Will Prerogative, 1755). The representatives of this branch, living (1888), are a young barrister, Mr. James Power Everard, B.A, Athlone; and Rev. John Everard, R. C. Adm., Clonmel. (See the “Everard” No. 1 pedigree). There are two great branches of the Everards of Tipperary, both deriving their origin from the one common stock, viz.—“Nicholas Everard of Fethard, Esq.,” above mentioned.

We come now to consider the second and probably the elder branch of the family. In the “Molyneux” MS. f. iii. 27, p. 43, there are recorded six generations also of this branch of the Everard family. It is rather strange that the pedigree therein given ends with the name of a female—Mary Everard. At first sight this is misleading, and one might suppose that the male members of this line became extinct; were it not that there is ample, clear, and positive evidence to the contrary, The writer in the MS. fixes the date of the death of Mary’s father (Edward) on the “29th May, 1637.” Now it so happens that the Will of Mary’s grandfather, who was also named Edward, is preserved in the Record Office, Dublin; and in it the date of that Edward’s death is set down as occurring on the “29th March, 1637.” No doubt of the authenticity or accuracy of that Will can for a moment be entertained, and hence we incline to the belief that the writer of the genealogy in the Molyneux MS. made two mistakes: first, by placing the only obit recorded by him after Edward “oge,” the father of Mary; and, second, by confounding the contracted form of March with May. Anyone who has any knowledge of such matters may easily conceive how readily an error may be committed in the registration of a pedigree. The wonder is, considering the havoc wrought by time, the missing deeds, the erasures in those extant, &c., &c., that so much information may be obtained. It may be well to note that Mary had three uncles, and that her grandfather states in his Will (29th March, 1637), that, should his sons die without male issue, he then bequeathes his property to “the heyers males of my late deceased father, James Everard.”

It is very plain, therefore, that at that time there was no lack of male representatives of this branch of the family. Edward (whose Will is on record) and his brother Thomas were two of the six witnesses to the Will (1624) of Sir John Everard. In that Will Sir John, in the most praiseworthy spirit and manner, makes provision for his poorer “Kinswomen,” and cannot be accused of being unmindful of the “blood.”

It may be truly said, that in every generation from the first Nicholas of Fethard, there has been a host of male and female members of this line. Of these one of the most remarkable was James Everard of Fethard. He was Mayor of his native town when it was stormed by Cromwell. One of the sacred vessels used to this day in the Franciscan Church, Clonmel, was the gift of this James. He died in 1667, and his Will, bearing that date, is preserved, in the Record Office, Dublin. In it reference is made to several members of his family; in fact, he mentions by name five male members, then living, and also speaks of his cousin, Sir Redmond Everard, Bart. The latter acknowledged the connection with his contemporaries; for, in Sir Redmond’s Will (1687) he also bequeathed, in certain contingencies, his property “to the heirs males of the said Sir John Everard’s great-grandfather.” Now, this “great-grandfather” was the oft-mentioned “Nicholas,” who was the common stock whence James, also sprang, and whom, therefore, as “head of the house,” Sir Redmond constituted his heir. James had a brother named Redmond, who had a son Edmond: this latter, instead of Edmond, the son of Charles, may have been the grandfather of Edmond Everard, Carrigmore, gent. (1755). And George, who was another brother of the above-mentioned James,[12] had a grandson of the same name,—George, junior, who had the ill luck of having a brother-in-law, James Butler (father of Richard Butler, first Earl of Glengall), who seemed to have not much regard for the principles of justice. (See Bill, filed 2lst August, 1706. “Palatinate Court, county Tipperary”). To this branch belonged his Grace, the Most Rev. Patrick Everard, Archbishop of Cashel and Emly; who was born in Fethard, and was there taught Classics. He studied in the Irish College, Salamanca;[13] was Rector of the Irish College in Paris, for ten years; next became Vicar-General of the Diocese of Bordeaux; and afterwards conducted a School at Ulverstone, in Lancashire, England, for the education of the sons of English Catholic Gentlemen, in which the Pension ranged from £200 to £400 per annum. He was elected, in 1810, President of the College of Maynooth; and, in 1814, was appointed Archbishop[14] by the Holy See. He died of fever, in Thurles, and his remains were interred in Cashel.

Lucas Everard, who died in 1665, was the son of Marcus, who was a brother of Edward (1637). From a Bill filed in “Palatinate Court,” county Tipperary, in February, 1678, it appears the above Lucas had a son Christopher, who was father of John Everard, of Fethard. From that Bill, also, the following extract is taken: “that James Butler and his wife, taking advantage of the minority of the said John, seized upon his property in and about Fethard, and still keep the same.” Knaves were encouraged in their dishonesty by the fact, that the name of “Everard” was in very bad odour under the new Dynasty.

The above John Everard of Fethard died in 1712, and his Will of that date, has been preserved in the Record Office, Dublin. He had four sons, but, though provision is made for the “Second,” “third,” and “fourth” son, the only name expressly mentioned in the Will is that of Richard, the “eldest.” One (probably Richard) of the four sons of the said John Everard, of Fethard, had four sons—1. John, of Clonmore, co. Tipperary, whose issue is extinct; 2. Richard, of whom presently; 3. Patrick, of Roscrea, co. Tipperary, who m. a Miss Kennedy and had a family, all of whom were, in 1883, living in America, save Martin Everard, living in 1883, s. p.; 4. Philip, also of Clonmore, who had three sons— 1. Thomas; 2. James, who emigrated to America; 3. Patrick, who had a son who was living (1883) in America. This Thomas, son of Philip, had three sons—1. John Everard of Clonmore, living in 1883, who was m. and had a family; 2. Thomas Everard, m., living in 1883, and had a family; 3. James Everard, who m. a Miss Leahy, and was (1883) living in Loughmore, s.p. The genealogy of the branch of this family descended from Richard, one of the grandsons of John Everard of Fethard, who died A.D. 1712, is as follows:

1. John Everard, of Fethard, above mentioned, who d. in 1712.

2. (—): one of his four sons, probably Richard.

3. Richard: son of No. 2. This Richard m. M. Comerford, and had five sons—I. Philip, of Clonmore; II. Michael, of Longorchard (died 1880); III. Thomas; IV. James; V. Patrick.

1. Philip, of Clonmore, married a Miss Scott. Their descendants are (1883) living in America.
2. Michael, of Longorchard, of whom presently.
3. Thomas, who formerly lived in Longorchard, mar. a Miss Torpey, and had two sons: 1. Richard, d. s. p.; 2. Thomas, who was (1883) living in America.
4. James, formerly of Longorchard, married a Miss Scott, and had Richard and Thomas.
5. Patrick, of Longorchard, the fifth son of Richard, married M. Fogarty, and had two sons—1. Col. Richard, of Meridan; and 2. Thomas of Templemore. This Colonel Richard Everard, of Meridan, Connecticut, and of New York, United States, America (living in 1883), mar. M. Buckley, and had—1. Patrick, 2. Edmond, 3. Thomas, 4. Richard, 5. William, 6. James, 7. Andrew, 8. Michael. Thomas Everard, of Templemore, county Tipperary, the second son of Patrick of Longorchard, No. V. here mentioned, married a Miss Mahony, and had two sons— 1. Patrick, 2. John—both living in 1883.

Notes

[1] Fethard: This is the anglicised form of the Irish Fidh-ard or Fiodh-ard, which means the “high wood.” This wood, to which the town of “Fethard” owes its name, was the property of the (Tipperary) Everard family. A very curious reference is made to it in the Will (1624) of Sir John Everard, Knight, in which it is described as the “Oken Grove.” And it is equally curious, that the modern name of the hill and townland is Grove. The “Grove” property belongs at the present day to Mr. Barton, a descendant of a French gentleman, who, years ago, purchased the property, when the descendants of its former possessor, Richard Burgh, became extinct.—Idem, p. 450.

[2] Speaker: See Carte’s Life of the Duke of Ormond, pp. 19, 20, and 22.

[3] Sir John: Sir John Everard possessed not only the town of Fethard, which belonged to him “for ever by several tenures,” and several “castles, towns, and lands” in that neighbourhood, but he also had property in Cashel, Clonmel, Carrick, and in the city and county of Waterford. Sir John obtained licence to hold Courts “Leet and Barron” (under 40s.) within the lands in the county Tipperary, and the like in the county Waterford; to hold a Thursday market at Knockelly; a fair at Glanballyquillane (Glin?) on Friday and Saturday after the Ascension; … to appoint Clerks of Markets, Seneschals, and other officers …”

[4] Carte: In the first Volume of Carte’s Life of the Duke of Ormond, the author refers to Sir Richard Everard, Bart., in pp. 264, 269, 516; in Vol. II., pp. 32, 122, 437; and in the Appendix to Vol. II., p. 132.

[5] Sir Thomas: Sir Thomas Stanley, when the Commonwealth was at its height, was a rabid Puritan and “red” Republican. After the Restoration he became a “zealous” Protestant, and appeared a loyal subject of the son of that King against whom he rose in rebellion. And although it was manifest he was no believer in the divine right of Kings, and no friend of the House of Stuart, he was not only permitted to retain the extensive property acquired by him as a Cromwellian officer, and from which loyal subjects had been ejected; but he obtained from Charles II. a grant of same, amounting to more than 9,000 acres in the neighbourhood of Clonmel. The following names of the chief places of note embodied in that grant will give an idea of its extent: Tickincorr, Killganibegg and Killganimore, Castlereagh, Bar Glenehery, Grangenagower, Upper and Lower Sillyheens, the town of Ballymacarbery, the town of Clonnaffe (Clonmel?), Ardpaddan, Ballydonogh, Ballymachee, Clogheen, Castle Conagh, &c. (See Inrolls. 24th July, 1666. 18 Ch. II.) The sword, used even to the present day by the Corporation of Clonmel, was the gift of Sir Thomas, and on it appear the Arms of the Stanley family, with the addition of a mural crown, and the legend “Ex dono Thomae Standly, 1656.” Sir Thomas was an ancestor of the Stanleys of Alderly, Cheshire.

[6] Sir Redmond: See Carte’s Life of the Duke of Ormond, Vol. II., p. 545.

[7] Death: In the Will of Sir Redmond Everard, Bart., 1687, the following clause appears: “If the 2,000 acres which I was to be restored unto by the Act of Explanation be recovered, then,” &c.

[8] Claimants: In the Inquisition post mortem (of Sir John, Bart.) taken at Clonmel on 24th April, 1693, Chancery, Tipperary, Reg. Wil. III., appear the following names: Edmond Everard, Fethard and Carrigmore; John Everard, Clogheen; Christopher Everard, Ballybought (Ballyboe?), &c.

[9] Glashanly: This is a corruption of two Irish words, namely, ‘‘glaise,” a stream, and “aluin,” lovely; meaning “the lovely stream,” which flows by Fethard.

[10] Joseph: See Carte’s Life of the Duke of Ormond, Vol. I., p. 267.

[11] Confiscated:

“Then comrades! Fellow gentlemen!

Like brothers hand-in-hand,

Take we a last and longing look

Of our dear forfeit land!

Our honour and our stainless swords,

Our old ancestral names,

Alone are ours—all else is lost,

For Erin and King James.

· · · · · · · · · ·

All! save the Creed our fathers held,

Tho’ fallen its shrines and low,

And the loyal faith of gentle blood

Unchanged thro’ weal or woe.”

K. M. Stone’s Poems.

[12] James: This James had a son, Piers, of Fethard, who was a distinguished Irish Officer, and took part in the Battle of Aughrim. The legal documents of a later period refer to that circumstance in very guarded terms: “That said Piers in or about the year 1690 had occasion to go to the Province of Connaught and from thence to limerick, where he died.”

[13] Salamanca: It is a remarkable fact, that the Four Irish Ecclesiastics who studied together in Salamanca, were afterwards four contemporary Catholic Archbishops in Ireland.

[14] Archbishop: When Dr. Everard was first appointed Archbishop it was to some see “in partibus infidelium” and as Coadjutor to Dr. Bray, Archbishop of Cashel and Emly, who lived for a few years after Dr. Everard’s promotion.
