John was born in 1812/3, the only son of John Hinds of Waterloo Lodge,
county Meath. He was educated at Gray's Inn, admitted on 10 January 1835,
and was a solicitor. John died on 2 December 1887 at 5 Proby-square,
Blackrock, county Dublin, aged 74. Letters of administration of his estate
worth £45,308 16s 5d were granted to his widow, Emma, on 18 January 1888.
When Emma died two years later, the administration of the estate was passed
to John's cousin, Adelaide Potterton on 11 February 1890, and a third grant
of the unadministered estate (then only £2,072 1s 2d remaining) was made to
Ellissa Frances Potterton on 25 April 1904. W.F. Montague Groome says that
half of the estate went to the Hinds and half went to the Carpendales
(Emma's sister's family).

Aug. 15.
At Tandragee, Maj. Sam. Patrickson, 67th foot, to Marianne Carter, dau. of
the Dean of Tuam.
Samuel was born in 1786/7. He was an army officer. Samuel was commissioned
Ensign in the 69th
Regiment of Foot on 16 August 1803 (London Gazette 13 August 1803 p1724) and
promoted to Lieutenant, without purchase, on 23 February 1805 (London Gazette 19 February 1805 p245).
Samuel exchanged into the 95th
Foot on 27 August 1808 (London Gazette 23 August 1808 p1157). On 23
September 1809, Samuel was promoted to captain, by purchase, in the 67th
Foot (London Gazette 19 September 1809 p1514). He
was severely wounded in February 1811, in an engagement with the
French army on a march from Tarifa (Historical Record of the Sixty-seventh, Or the South
Hampshire Regiment p34 (Richard Cannon, 1849), Cobbett's Political Register 1811 col800).
Samuel was promoted to major in the 67th, by purchase, on 8 August 1816 (London
Gazette 7 September 1816 p1724). In the army downsizing after
the Napoleonic Wars, Samuel was placed on half-pay on 25 July 1817 (A List of the Officers of the Army and of the Corps of
Royal Marines 1821 p575). He returned to full pay as a major
in the newly raised 99th
Foot on 25 March 1824 (London Gazette 23 March 1824 p485) and on
20 January 1825 he exchanged into the 66th
Foot (London Gazette 12 February 1825 p243).
In 1831, Samuel was stationed in Castlebar, county Mayo:

By 1834 we find Samuel tenanted at Drumsesk House, Rosstrevor, county Down,
near to Arno's Vale, the residence of his father-in-law, Thomas Carter. He
was a member of the Royal Geological Society of Dublin, and contributed a
paper entitled "Desciption
of a Limestone District on the N.E. Shore of Carlingford Bay, and of
Littoral Deposits of Shells and Limestone" and "A
Descriptive List of the Dykes Appearing on the Shore which Skirts the
Mourne Mountains" to the Journal of the Royal
Geological Society of Ireland.
Samuel was buried on 16 September 1836 at St Peters, county Dublin. He is
recorded as aged 49, resident at 5 Frederick Street in the parish of St
Anne, and his occupation is "Major".

pp19-20 (Thomas Ellwood, 1888)
He was
succeeded by the Rev. Matthew Inman Carter, M.A., of Christ's College,
Cambridge.
Mr Carter was incumbent of Torver for 56 years, and seems to have
been master of the parish school until the year 1819 or thereabouts, and
he eked out his income by farming, having for about 20 years rented and
cultivated the estate of Brackenbarrow, containing about 40 acres. He
belonged to a Kendal family, and was brother to the Dean of Tuam, who in
some measure owed his preferment to having been tutor to one of the
members of the royal family.
There was no Parsonage in Mr Carter's time, and he seems to have
been somewhat difficult to please in his choice of a residence, as
several houses have been pointed out to me as having at times formed his
residence.
He was very retiring in his manners, but seems to have been a man
of great mental powers and extensive reading. As a walker he is still
renowned in this district, and frequently after the evening service at
Torver he walked to Kendal, a distance of over 20 miles.
On account of the growing infirmities of age, Mr. Carter left the
parish and went to reside at Kendal in 1861, and the curacy (sole
charge) of the parish was in that year entered upon by Rev. T. Ellwood,
the writer of the present sketch.
For the few months that intervened between Mr Carter's leaving
Torver and my coming to it the sole charge was taken by the Rev. James
Jackson, who is best known in the lake district by his tragic end,
caused by a fall from the Pillar Rock. Mr. Carter died in 1863 at the
age of 86 years. It is, I think, worthy of remark that the two
incumbencies of Mr. Bell and his successor, Mr. Carter, extend over a
period of 123 years.

The next house, named by a recent owner “Cross View,” was the property

He was the father of the very Rev. Thomas Carter, Dean of Tuam in
Ireland, and of the Rev. M. I. Carter, incumbent of Torver, near
Coniston.
Roger had a granddaughter, Miss Carter, who also lived here, and
to her credit may it be recorded that out of her scanty savings she left
the interest of £50 to be spent in
coals for the poor. There being no parsonage at Torver, her uncle lived
with her, and used to walk all the way through Bowness and Sawrey to
fulfil his duties and then return again in like manner.

which also refers to Matthew as her uncle. In the 1861 census, Matthew is
shown as a "visitor" in Mary's home. Mary was born in Kendal in 1803/4, and
in the 1861 census she is
described as a "Proprietor Of Houses".
Shearman, in the employ of
Robert Gawthorpe, a cotton dealer and cotton twist manufacturer in Kendal. A
shearman was a skilled worker who sheared the nap from cloth.
Manufacturing
Cloth from Wool
Fulled fabrics
-- especially those made from curly-haired woolen yarn -- were often
very fuzzy and covered with nap. Once the fabric had been dried, it
would be shaved or sheared to remove this extra material. Shearers would
use a device that had remained pretty much unchanged since Roman times:
shears, which consisted of two razor-sharp blades attached to a U-shaped
bow spring. The spring, which was made of steel, also served as the
handle of the device.
A shearer would attach the cloth to a padded table that sloped downward
and had hooks to keep the fabric in place. He would then press the
bottom blade of his shears into the cloth at the top of the table and
gently slide it down, clipping the fuzz and nap by bringing down the top
blade as he went. Shearing a piece of fabric completely could take
several passes, and would often alternate with the next step in the
process, napping.

The Late Rev.
F. Cashel M.A.
One of the most familiar faces will be seen no more in the streets
of Oswestry. It is between thirty-five and thirty-six years ago since Mr
Cashel came to take up the charge of Trinity Church, and during the whole
of that period, until his last prolonged illness, he had been almost
constantly engaged in the duties of his office. A few months ago he was
prostrated with illness, and not long after the bells had rung the new
year in he passed away from the scene where almost all his working days
had been spent. His devotion to the service of religion in its various
forms, his visits to his flock, and his attendance at the day school,
constantly took him among his fellow-townsmen, until he became one of the
best known amongst them; and comparatively few are left who were engaged
in public life when Mr Cashel first came to Oswestry. He was a convinced
member of the Evangelical Party, which in his younger days had so much
influence and exercised so much power in the Church, and he sometimes
associated with ministers of other Communions in support of general
religious societies, like the Bible Society, as well as in more private
meetings; but of late he had worked more entirely within the limits of the
Church of England, to which he was profoundly attached, and in whose
service he was willing to spend himself and be spent. His congregation
always found him at his post, ready for any duty, and whoever his
successor may be, he cannot well excel Mr Cashel in the zealous discharge
of those sacred functions which he held in so much reverence and
affection.
The Rev. Frederick Cashel, M.A., Honorary Canon of St Asaph, was
born at Dublin in 1819, and educated at Trinity College, Dublin, where he
took a first class in Divinity, and his B.A. degree in 1842, passing on to
M.A. in 1873. In 1843, he was ordained curate of Forkhill, in 1846 he
removed to Taztaraghan, in the Diocese of Armagh, and in 1849 to Norton,
in the Diocese of Durham. In 1850 he married Anne Carter, daughter of the
Dean of Tuam and Rector of Ballymore, Co. Armagh, and in 1851, on the
removal of the Rev. John Jones to Llanarmon-yn-Ial, the Rev. T. Salwey
presented Mr Cashel to the living of Trinity, of which he was the third
incumbent, the Rev. R. B. M. Bonner, afterwards Dean of St. Asaph, having
been the first (1837 to 1842). At the time of Mr Cashel's appointment, the
value of Trinity was only about £150
per annum, and the Church was not used for the solemnization of marriages,
baptisms and funerals, but in 1866 the necessary order was issued for
those purposes; and in 1872 Lord Powis generously gave up the rectorial
tithes of Middleton to augment the income, by which means, together with a
grant from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, it was raised to £310. Before this a subscription had been raised to
provide the Vicarage in Salop-road, where Mr Cashel resided for the last
nineteen or twenty years of his life.
During his vicariate several improvements were effected in the
church and parish. In 1856, a new ceiling was erected at a cost of £600, borne chiefly by Mr T. L. Longueville, who with
the late Mr Parker, and Lord Powis, has been a munificent supporter of the
church. In 1871 an organ was placed in the building; and in 1876
aconsiderable sum was spent in improvements, the completion of which was
celebrated by an octave of services, at which, amongst others, the
preachers were the Bishop of St. Asaph, and Mr Cashel's old friend, the
Rev. George Cuthbert, who was senior curate for several years at Oswestry
Parish Church, and who predeceased the late Vicar of Trinity. In 1868, a
day school was erected in Castle-street, and in 1870 it was enlarged by
the addition of an infant class-room. Mr Cashel always took a great
interest in the school, and he was one of the first members of the
Oswestry School Board, from which he retired in 1883. A few years ago he
was made an honorary canon of St. Asaph. Though we believe he sympathized
with the Conservative party, he abstained from any active part in
politics, and indeed confined himself almost entirely to work connected
with the Church and education.
For some time before his death Mr Cashel's health had caused a good
deal of anxiety to his friends. The last time he offciated at Trinity
Church was on the 18th of July, when he preached a powerful sermon from
St. Luke vi., 41, 42. On the same day he preached at Maesbury in the
evening, and on his return was taken so seriously ill that he had to
remain upstairs for a few days. On July 29 he had sufficiently recovered
to leave for Dublin, where he stayed about a fortnight, and then he
visited Harrogate, returning to Oswestry on September 21. The change
evidently did him little good, and shortly after his return he again took
to his bed, and was laid up for six weeks. At the end of this time,
however, he appeared very much better; in fact he was restored to such a
state of health that prayers of thanksgiving were offered in his church
for his partial recovery. Still he went out very little, and on one
occasion it is related of him how being in the church almost alone he
ascended the pulpit, and looking round the building in which he had so
many times preached, he seemed to feel that he should never stand in that
place again. When his illness first came on he was in the middle of a
course of sermons which he had been preaching upon the Ten Commandments,
and his plain and outspoken language had attracted considerable attention.
His last public appearance as Vicar of the parish was on the 7th of
December, when he was present at a District Visitors' meeting, which was
held at the Vicarage. Towards the end of that week he again broke down,
and he kept his bed almost entirely from then until his death. No one, not
even the faithful wife who had watched him through a long illness,
realized that the end was so near; and without any apparent change he
passed away in his sleep between five and six o'clock on Saturday
evening.

The next in succession was the Rev. Thomas
Wilson, B.D., who held the office of Bursar. He was universally known by
the name of “Parabōla,” from having so pronounced that word when
he was keeping an Act in the schools ...
A young man of Trinity, named Tom Carter, was patronised by
“Parabōla,” and we used to call him the “Paraboloid.” He had been a pupil
of Dawson’s at Sedburgh, and came to college with the reputation of being
a great mathematician: he failed in the schools, and took an Ægrotat
degree. He was, however, appointed Mathematical Tutor to Prince William,
and continued in that capacity till his Royal Highness took his degree,
soon after which, Carter was made Dean of Tuam, and kept that preferment
till August 1849, when he died of the cholera.

The Very Rev. Thomas Carter, A.M. Chaplain to the Duke of Gloucester, and
to his Grace the Lord Primate of all Ireland, Dean of Tuam, a Prebendary
of Armagh, and Rector of Ballymore, to Harriet, dau. of late Richard
Winfield, esq.
Harriet was baptised on 17 December 1771, in Kendal, the daughter of Richard
Winfield and Mary Corbett.
Thomas and Harriot returned to Tandragee, county Armagh, in August 1821
The Freeman's Journal 8 August 1821
Arrived at the Donegall Arms on the 4th inst. by
the Hillsborough Packet, the very Rev. the Dean of Tuam, and Mrs. Carter,
from England, on their way to Tandragee.
However the marriage failed and on 9 April 1822, after less than nine months
of marriage, they mutually agreed to live separately. Harriot's niece, Mary
Winfield Lambert, paid Thomas £10,000 to give up all claims to Harriot’s
wealth. Harriot’s will sets out how her estate was put into a trust before
her marriage and £300 income from her stocks was set aside for her to spend
on her own needs so that Thomas did not have to support her. She had
no access to the rest of her money and so her niece Mary came to the rescue.
It states in the will that the payment was to return land to Harriot that
was conveyed to Thomas on their marriage. Mary indemnified Thomas and took
responsibility for any debts that Harriot had. Mary also covenanted that
Harriot Carter "should not interrupt or disturb the said Thomas Carter and
should not proceed against him for alimony or any provision whatsoever". It
was agreed that Harriot "might thenceforth live apart from him and entirely
free from his control"and that Harriot would "receive and enjoy to my own
sole and separate use and benefit all or any real or personal estate or
estates sum and sums of money in as ample and beneficial a manner as by
virtue of any gift grant devise bequest descent or distribution I might have
been entitled to have taken received and enjoyed the same if I had remained
unmarried except the said sum of ten thousand pounds sterling so paid to
him".

It was also agreed that Thomas would not contest her will and she could

and was buried at Ballymore. His wife predeceased him on Jan. 8, 1815.

Thomas was also appointed as a magistrate in county Armagh, but was stripped
of this appointment when his fervent support of Orangemen, and specifically
his attendance at a hanging in effigy of a fellow magistrate who had ruled
against Orangemen, led to a lack of confidence in his impartiality.
The
history of Orangeism p173 (M. H. Gill, 1883)
On June 23rd,
1830, the eve of the Feast of SS. Peter and Paul—a day generally
regarded as a festival by the Catholic Irish—a number of boys and girls
assembled in a field, by leave of its owner, about a mile and a half
from Tandragee, in the County Armagh. There this merry group, heedless
of the impending danger, spent their evening in those rustic sports
peculiar to their time. But in Tandragee there was once upon a time,
and, for all I know, is still, an orange hall. Close by lived the Rev.
Dean Carter, the most violent Orange firebrand of his time, and one who
placed much less reliance upon the open Bible than the sword. In Dean
Carter's employment was a certain Deputy Grand Master named Wm. Murphy.
On this evening, whether by accident or design, the Tandragee lodge held
its meeting. And for the sake of our humanity, let us suppose that the
liquor distributed upon the occasion was worse, or more plentiful than
usual. The Orangemen, their meeting over, assembled at the lower end of
the town, under the lead of Murphy, and with fifes and drums and colours
flying, they marched to the tune of “Croppies lie down,” by a circuitous
route to the field in which the party was enjoying themselves. By a
manœuvre which suggests the presence of yoemanry, they surrounded the
field in all directions. The “Protestant Boys” was then struck up, and a
determined attack made upon the crowd of amazed villagers from every
side. The owner of the field remonstrating, was knocked down. One Samnel
Gault drew a dagger from his sleeve and mortally wounded a Catholic
named Peter M'Glade. Several others were stabbed and wounded. At the
inquest upon M'Glade a verdict of wilful murder was returned against
Gault, and also against his accomplices, Wm. Murphy (Dean Carter's man),
Wm. Ford, and James Hagan. They were all arrested. Gault and Hagan
“escaped,” while Murphy and Ford were tried for the murder at the Armagh
Assizes in the following spring, before Mr Justice Johnston. They were
acquitted of murder by a jury of Orangemen, and found guilty of riot and
assault, and sentenced each to 12 months imprisonment. Ford, on his
release, was taken into the police, on the recommendation of Dean
Carter. Murphy was at the same time admitted a member of Dr. Patten's
Orange yeomanry at Tandragee. What an impartial body of men the Armagh
police of those days must have been, since the murdering of a Catholic
was regarded as a proper preliminary examination! Dean Carter also
refused to receive informations sworn against other parties concerned in
this murder.
p189
Misfortunes came not now in single file. Dean Carter had by this time
also got into disgrace. The acquittal of the brethren arrested in Lurgan
at the instance of Mr. Hancock and Mr. Brownlow was too inviting an
incident not to demand special commemoration. In the following week Lord
Mandeville provided tar-barrels and timber to the Orangemen surrounding
his demesne to burn in honour of the acquittal of their brethren. Beer
was supplied by his lordship in large quantities, the impartial
distribution of which his “moral agent,” Mr. Porter superintended. We
find from the description given of the rejoicings by Lord Gosford that
the Orangemen dressed up a figure as an effigy of “Papist Hancock,” the
magistrate who had incurred their displeasure by proceeding, under the
Anti-Procession Act, to commit the Orangemen who had marched contrary to
law. This effigy had a rope tied around its neck, and was hoisted up on
a pole, or gallows; the tar barrels were set fire to, and the effigy was
consumed amid the shoutings and hurraings of the people assembled about
it. This compliment to a brother magistrate was got up by Lord
Mandeville's agent. During the gaities of the evening this agent, Mr.
Porter, was chaired around the bonfire by the mob. But the hero of the
day was Dean Carter, a reverend magistrate, who having dined with Lord
Mandeville came forth from his lordship's gates, attended by Lady
Mandeville, her ladyship's children, and some ladies of their suite.
They took their stand upon an elevated postion opposite the bon-fire,
and joined in the proceedings with evident zest. Cheers were given for
the Dean and the lady, as well as groans for “Papist Hancock,” and the
worthy and reverned justice joined in the unseemly demonstration. Mr.
Crampton, the Solicitor-General, in his report, rightly expressed
surprise at “a magistrate countenancing, accrediting by his presence and
by his approbation the indecent exhibition of an Orange triumph over an
Act of the Legislature, coupled with the infliction of on infamous
punishment upon the effigy of a brother magistrate.” Dean Carter was
dismissed from the Bench also, and that gentleman, whom in describing
the occurrence, a writer in the Edinburgh
Review, calls the Marcellus of the party, Colonel Verner
himself, the Deputy-Master of Armargh, threw up his commission as a
magistrate in indignation at this invasion of Orange rights and
privileges.
Report
from the select committee appointed to inquire into the nature,
character, extent, and tendency of Orange Lodges, Associations, or
Societies in Ireland p234 (1835)
The Earl of Gosford
22 June 1835
3311. Your Lordship is acquainted with Tandragee, in the county of
Armagh?—Yes.
3312. Does your Lordship recollect any riot taking place in
Tandragee; has there been any communication to you in your official
situation?—I recollect a representation made to me.
3313 The burning of Mr Hancock in effigy?—Yes the circumstances
went before Government, and I was ordered to investigate that.
3314 That was in 1833?—I believe it was.
3315 Does your Lordship recollect the result of that investigation?—The result of
that investigation was, that there was no change made thereby in the Lord
Chancellor's dismissal of Dean Carter.
3316 Dean Carter was the Dean of Tuam?—Yes
3317 Does your Lordship recollect the particulars of the
transaction?—The
particulars of that transaction, as well as I can recollect, not having
referred to notes, were these: that there were some Orangemen that were
liberated at the Armagh assizes; they were committed to gaol by Mr.
Hancock, a magistrate of the county, residing at Lurgan. Upon their being
liberated, there was as I understand, an enormous concourse of the Orange
population in the county to cheer them and congratulate them on their
liberation, and to escort them to their homes, which were near Lurgan.
Shortly after this, there was a meeting of a number assembled in the town
of Tandragee, and at the top of the hill (that town is on a steep hill)
they erected a thing with a pole and a cross beam to it, something like a
gallows, and tar barrels were got, and they dressed up a figure, which was
stated to be an effigy of Mr. Hancock, the magistrate, who had incurred
their displeasure from proceeding, under the Procession Act, to commit the
Orangemen who had marched in the procession contrary to law. This figure
or effigy had a rope tied round its neck, and was hoisted up on this pole
or gallows, the tar barrels were then set fire to, and this effigy was
consumed by the fire lighted under it, with the shoutings and hurraings of
the people assembled about it. It was also stated in the report made to
Government that Dean Carter, the magistrate, was standing with those
parties so surrounding the effigy; and upon some affidavits, I think, that
were handed to the Lord Chancellor Plunkett from some people in the town
of Tandragee, of what had taken place, Lord Chancellor Plunkett sent these
affidavits to Dean Carter, calling upon him for an explanation; the
explanation not proving satisfactory to the Lord Chancellor, he superseded
him in the commission of the peace; this was done without any
communication with me. I was on my way to Ireland at the time. This was
communicated to me when I got home.
3318 When did this happen?—The
24th of July 1833.
3319 Has Mr. Carter been since restored to the commission of the
peexace for the county of Armagh?—No.
3320 Not even by the Tory Government?—No, unless it has been done without my
knowledge; Dean Carter then made some representation through me, which I
felt it my duty to lay before the Government, and upon which an
investigation was ordered, at which I presided, assisted by the then
Solicitor-General Crampton.
3321. That investigation took place at Tandragee on the 17th of
October 1833?—Yes,
I believe that was the time.
Observations
on gout and rheumatism pp 448-50 (Charles Wilson, 1823)
Copy of a
Letter from the very Rev Thomas Carter, Dean
of Tuam.
Bath, Feb. 26, 1818.
SIR,
Every sufferer from the gout must read your work with
peculiar interest and gratification. I feel encouraged by your openness to
communication, to detail my case, and to guide, by your prudent caution,
my wishes in the use of the Tincture. In 1800, I left this country to
reside in Ireland. From 1812 to 1817, in the spring and autumn, I was
subjected to faintings, preceded for some days by an interruption of
digestion, flying pains in the right and left great toe, a fulness of the
stomach, which seemed to affect the actions of the heart. Æther and
tincture of rhubarb were had recourse to, and generally soon relieved me,
but left a feeling of debility. In May, 1817, the pains in my great toes
returned with more violence, and early in June fixed all their force on
the inside of my left foot, in a line with the ancle, attended with a
sensation of throbbing, intermittent heats, gnawing pains and eructations,
and an attack in the stomach, succeeded by a clammy perspiration The foot
swelled, was red, and for some weeks the pain continued, and was succeeded
by an itching, while the skin of the foot peeled off, and took with it two
troublesome corns.
During the paroxysm, my medical attendant directed an extraordinary
use of flannel on the affected limb, heavy bed cloths, a heated room, and
a plentiful use of ardent spirits and madeira. All these, I am now
satisfied, were protractors of the paroxysm.
Finding my strength not returning, and evident signs of a
disordered stomach, I deemed it prudent to take other advice, and arrived
in London in November. A course of laxative medicine was directed to
restore the fæces to a healthy character, to cleanse a furred and dry
tongue, and remove the high colour, pink sediment, and an occasional
rotten-egg appearance of the urine. These points being nearly effected, I
was directed to try the Bath waters; but, from an evident disagreement,
after three days’ use, I gave them up, and applied again for advice. Again
I am put under a laxative course, and the fæces are progressively assuming
a healthy appearance. Every day a return of the pains takes place, either
in the right or left great toe, and prickings down the right thigh, with
an occasional fulness in the region of the stomach. My appetite is
generally very good; my diet is confined to plain roast and boiled meat,
potatoes, bread pudding, and a little weak brandy and water, drank half an
hour after dinner. My own feelings indicate a want of more active medicine
to produce the effects of your Tincture; how far my opinion may be right,
your experienced judgment must direct.
My abstemious mode of life, aided by the laxative medicines, I
think have warded off another paroxysm, or rather kept it vibrating in my
habit. The happy relief which your Tincture has already afforded to many
severely afflicted, and a desire to participate must be my apology for
trespassing on your patience by so long a detail from a perfect stranger.
I am, Sir,
Your faithful and obedient servant,
THOMAS CARTER.
P.S. The “operative effects” of the Tincture gave more successful
relief in the fatal and malignant Typhus fever which for several months
prevailed in Ireland, than any other mode of treatment.
T.C.
Thomas lived at the Glebe House, in Drumnaleg Townland, near
Tandragee, Armagh, which was "finely situated on a bold eminence, and
commands a delightful prospect" set in 20 acres of thriving plantation.
Thomas also owned "about half the townland", leasing it to tenants.
A Government report on
Townlands in 1830 contains this on Drumnaleg Townland, describing the
extensive property holdings of Thomas Carter:
Druminaleg, pronounced Drumenalig (stresses) from
Drumnaleg "ridge of the great stone". It is bounded on the south by
Tullymacann and Mullaghglass, west by Lisnakee and Mullintur, north by
Derrycan and east by Lisbane. Churchland, possessed by the resident
incumbent Dean Carter, rector of the parish. He owns about half the
townland in his own hands, in which is the Glebe House and about 20 acres
of thriving plantation, and the remainder is let to tenants at will from
25s to 27s 6d. Occupations chiefly farming. It contains (blank) acres and
a school. 1 mile distant from Tanderagee (market).
General
Directory of Newry, Armagh pp 95-97 (Thomas Bradshaw, 1820)
HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF THE TOWN OF TANDRAGEE.
TANDRAGEE, a market town in the county of Armagh, is situated eleven miles
north of Newry, nine west from Armagh, seven and a half south-west from
Lurgan, four south from Portadown, and about twenty-four south-west from
Belfast.—It consists principally of one long and wide street, upon the
south-eastern side of a hill, with a spacious market-place near the upper
end. It is very beautifully situated, in a fine, populous and improved
country—sheltered from the prevailing winds by fine trees, and almost
surrounded by the picturesque and highly ornamented demense of Miss
Sparrow, and that of the Rev. Dean Carter. On the top of the hill, there
is a long and very handsome public walk, overshadowed by a row of the
finest lime-trees in the kingdom. There is a very handsome church,
surrounded by trees, finely situated on high ground, which deserves to be
visited by travellers.
It was built within these few years, on the site of an old church, which
had become ruinous and too small for the congregation. The funds
appropriated for its erection, having been unequal to its completion, it
has very lately been finished at the sole expense of Miss Sparrow, the
munificent proprietor of the town and large adjoining estate. It is a
Gothic building, of great simplicity and elegance, with a high tower and
pinnacles, which forms a beautiful object to the surrounding country. The
interior is fitted up with singular taste; and on the whole, it is one of
the handsomest and most convenient parish churches in the kingdom. In the
centre of the town, there is also a neat and convenient Methodist chapel.
The mansion house, usually called the castle, is situate
close to the town and church, upon the top of a steep bank, which commands
a beautiful view of the romantic and finely wooded demesne. It was built
some time ago, on the site of an old castle, formerly the residence of the
chief of the sept of the O'Hanlons, and afterwards of the St. Johns, to
the ancestor of whom, Lord Grandison, lord-deputy of Ireland, it was
granted by Queen Elizabeth, and has, with the estates, descended to the
present proprietor, Miss Sparrow—the only remaining representative of that
ancient and illustrious family.—The river Cusier passes near the lower end
of the town. It is a fine stream, and runs through beautiful wooded banks,
from the Fews mountains, where it rises, until it falls into the river
Bann, near Portadown; giving motion to a great number of mills and bleach
works, and sending off, near the town, the principal supply to the Newry
canal.
There has been, in addition to the fine ancient woods near the
town, a very great number of new plantations made, which already are
making a beautiful appearance. Miss Sparrow has lately built a very
handsome school-house, for the eduction of thirty boys and thirty girls,
to be supported entirely at her own expense—This building forms a fine
object from many points of view. Near the town stands the glebe-house, at
present occupied by the Rev. Thomas Carter, Dean of Tuam, and rector of
the parish. It is finely situated on a bold eminence, and commands a
delightful prospect. The country around Tandragee has been long celebrated
for the manufacture of the best description of middle-priced yard wide
linens in the kingdom, which are sold in the market, to a very large
amount, every Wednesday. The market is one of the largest in the county,
and the weekly sales fall very little short of £7,000.
The principal articles of trade are linens, yarn, butter, flax, flour and
all sorts of provisions, with some cattle and pigs, and, in the season, a
very great quantity of pork, which is mostly bought up for the Belfast and
Newry markets.
Spacious as the street and market place is, it is thronged
every Wednesday with such busy crowds as are astonishing to strangers; and
the dealers frequenting it, are particularly commendable for their
correctness and punctuality. There are four fairs in the year—on the 5th
day of July and 5th of November, and on the first Wednesday in February
and May, at which great number of horses and black cattle, &c. are
disposed of. The Newry navigation passes within a mile of the town, and
affords an easy conveyance, for weighty goods to and from Newry, and the
country around Lough Neagh.
The post arrives daily at half-past eight o'clock in the
morning, and is despatched at five in the afternoon.
The population of Tandragee amounts to about 1,200, of whom
about two-thirds are Protestants. The town contains a great number of
well-supplied shops, and has been, for some years, increasing in business
and respectability. The flax which is sold in this market, nearly to the
amount of 2000 stones weekly, is reckoned the best in Ireland.

Wilhelmina Frederica was a
goddaughter of William Frederick, Duke of Gloucester (for whom she was
named). A family note from James Savage claims further that she "was
playmate with Queen Victoria", which I suppose is feasible to some extent -
William Frederick's father was brother to the King, and his wife was an
aunt, reputed to be favourite, of Victoria.
