Marr:
circa 1629
Children:
John (1641-1710)
Barbara Sedborough was the daughter of Peter SEDBOROUGH and Frances FETTIPLACE. Frances was the daughter of Sir
Edward Fettiplace of Colne St Aldwyn, Gloucestershire, England.
Barbara was the heiress of her grandfather, John Sedborough of Porlock in Somerset, England, from whom on his death in 1629,
she inherited his Mount Sedborough estate in the Barony of Clankelly, Ulster, Ireland, which had been officially granted to him in
1613/14 by Letters Patent dated 11 Jas. I = 1614. These 1000 acres, part of "Lattgirr", had been originally assigned to him on 18
May 1610 (Earl of Shrewsbury), and in August 1611 it was noted that John and his wife (Elinor) and one freeholder were resident
at Mount Sedborough and had felled some timber (Ref. Analecta Hibernica 8. 1938).
Notes on the 1610 Plantation of parts of Ireland with "Undertakers" from England, like John Sedborough, and from Scotland,
plus "Servitors" from the Army, and native Irishmen :In Co. Fermanagh the native Irish were all Catholic, peaceful, easy-going, traditional agriculturalists whose meagre wealth was in
their cattle. The flight of the Irish Earls in September 1607 had left Ulster leaderless. King James I and his Lord Deputy, Sir
Arthur Chichester, proposed the "Plantation" of Ulster with suitable nominees ("Undertakers") as a means of settling the northern
Ireland problem (which the British are still trying to do four centuries later!).
"It is clear that the wildness and desolation of the country must have prevented any but organised settlement. This became
possible only after the Irish War (in which the Irish and Spanish were defeated at Kinsale in 1601) and Chichester himself carried
out the Ulster survey of 1606-7 when he virtually laid out how the new communities would be."
"An indication of the backwardness of the local Irish comes from the Attorney General (Davis) who accompanied Chichester on
the survey and said of Co. Fermanagh: 'The building of a gaol and session house was likewise respited until my Lord Deputy had
resolved a fit place for a market and a corporate town, for the habitations of this people are so wild and transitory as there is not
one fixed village in all this country'."
Land was offered to the "Undertakers" in lots of 1000, 1500 or 2000 acres of arable land. The nature of the ground, with much bog
and hill, meant that the actual size of the estates were up to five times the arable acreage. In Co. Fermanagh only 3 "Undertakers"
had 2000 acres, 9 had 1500 and 21 had 1000. Those with 1000 and 1500 acres were required to build a strong house with bawn
(ditch) around it, while those with 2000 had to build a castle. They had to reside there themselves for the first five years, were
allowed to take on only English or Scottish tenants (who had to take the Oath of Supremacy), and had to keep a number of armed
men and review them twice a year. Few "Undertakers" abided by the terms of their lease. Irish continued to dominate in numbers
yet there was a hard core of British established in Enniskillen (the County town) and in and around the many newly established
villages, which continued to expand.
In 1609 and the years following, a majority of the 8000 new Ulster settlers were Lowland Scots many of whom went to Co. Derry.
In Fermanagh the Scots mainly went to the Baronies of Knockninny and Magheraboy, while the English were settled in Clankelly
and Lurg.
1629/30 & 1639. Claims to the ownership of Mount Sedborough.
(1) 20 Jan 1629/30 Chancery Inquisition held at Newton (alias Castle Coole?) and headed by Sir Stephen Butler investigated
claims by William Po to Mount Sedborough lands. Po claimed breaches of "alienisation" by John Sedborough in bequeathing
the estate to his granddaughter. His claim failed.
(2) 9 Sept 1639 Chancery Inquisition held at Enniskillen confirmed Barbara Mayne as the rightful heir of John Sedborough
(deceased 1629) and owner of Mount Sedborough. (Inqusitionum ...Ultonia, Fermanagh CAR. 1 40, 1630-39).
1631 Muster Rolls for Co. Fermanagh show that John Sedborough had 16 tenants at Mount Sedborough.
1641 DEPOSITION OF BARBARA MAYNE 1610-77 of Mount Sedborough.
Below is the statement made by Barbara Mayne, wife of John Mayne of Mount Sedborough (County Fermanagh, Ulster, Northern
Ireland), in Dublin in January 1641/2 following the stealing of her family possessions and the murder of her husband during the
Irish Rebellion of October 1641.

AN IRISH MURDER
Lieut. Edward Mayne, late of the 93rd Regiment, and the Oakboys of Ulster.
It was with no little surprise that I discovered that in 1764 an ancestor of mine had stood trial for murder in
Ireland. Although the records of the Assize where he was tried have not survived, the verdict and details of
the events surrounding this Irish tragedy of 250 years ago are known.
My 3xgreat grandfather, Edward Mayne, had until 1763 been serving his Majesty King George III (who
later freed the American colonies) as a Lieutenant in the 93rd Regiment of Foot in Ireland. In that year
Edward was 38 and retired from the Army to his family home at Cootehill in County Monaghan, there to
marry and raise children in the tranquillity of the Irish countryside. It was then there occurred one of those
many short but violent episodes in the history of Ulster. Edward had been involved as a soldier in several of
the earlier 'troubles' and his family still remembered Tuesdays as a day of ill omen; it was on that day
(Tuesday 26 October) in the Irish rebellion of 1641 that his great grandfather had been murdered in front of
his wife and children at their home at Mount Seborough (picture) . The Mayne family still remembered.
This time Edward was called upon as a private citizen to help and advise the local Magistrate, Charles Coote
with a handful of mounted troops, in protecting lives and homesteads in the County against a growing
protest movement that had suddenly become a serious threat to peace and order. It was thanks to the
strategy and the speed with which these two acted that within a few weeks the danger was averted. Not
every County in Ulster was so fortunate.
The "Oakboy" movement had originated in north Armagh in June 1763, primarily as a protest against local
taxation. It quickly spread to County Monaghan where large gatherings of protesters, called "Oakboys"
because they wore sprigs of oak in their hats, were intimidating Grand Jury members, Protestant clergy and
others with influence in the community. The size, organisation and belligerence of the Oakboy 'army' is
shown in a contemporary description of them, "all marching in order and many of them arm'd. They fill'd at
least two miles of the road and were formed into companies with each a standard or colours displayed."
Some gatherings of Oakboys, increased by many who had been intimidated to join them, were described as
"numbering 10,000" - probably an exaggeration for several thousand at most. They were well organised,
9
mainly peaceful but using the sheer strength of their numbers and the threat of force to gain their ends. In
some cases the mere sight of redcoats was sufficient to disperse them, but a few serious clashes occurred
before order was restored and the movement ended. It was from one of these incidents that the charge of
murder arose.
It was on another Tuesday, 19 July 1763, that Edward Mayne and his Cootehill neighbour Charles Coote set
out to cover the fifteen miles to Castleblayney to confront the Oakboys there. With them they had about
fourteen of the Magistrate's tenants and a troop of light horse. It was raining heavily when they arrived at
the castle at two o'clock yet the streets of the town were crowded with Oakboys. The Magistrate's party then
repaired to an inn to await the arrival of Colonel Roberts, the commander of the Army contingent at the
castle (pictures) . After dining and toasting the King's good health, Mayne and Coote went out from the inn
alone to meet the Colonel. The two "had no arms but their swords, with their greatcoats around them as it
rained heavily. In the middle of the street Mr Coote was accosted by about twenty of the Hearts of Oak who
separated themselves from the other crowds." They had one Alexander McDonald at their head, a large but
agile man, "a most insolent fellow" who had been active elsewhere as one of the leaders of the Oakboys.
"This McDonald advanced two or three steps from his party towards Mr Coote and, upon being told that he
was a Magistrate for the County and that he should approach him with more respect and his hat off,
McDonald lept at him like a tiger and seized him behind by his arms to prevent him making use of his
sword."
"Mayne immediately drew [his sword] and extricated Coote out of their hands but was himself instantly
seized behind the back by two more. Happily Coote was then at liberty and in turn was able to extricate
him. Mr Coote and Lieut. Mayne being clear, they were then directly attacked in another manner - by [the]
firing of several guns at them out of the doors and windows of adjacent houses. These guns were loaded
with ball, which shows the Oaks were prepared, and the stones of the street flew as thick as hail; several of
them hit Mr Coote."
"The shots fir'd alarmed Mr Coote's party in the inn; they immediately came to their relief, and returned the
fire from the doors and windows very briskly. Oakboys were observed levelling their pieces at both Mayne
and Coote and snapping at them from a door. Notwithstanding they still advanced and the mob retreated
and shut the doors".
"By this time the Squadron's guard at the castle was alarmed and came up briskly. They pursued the rebels,
broke into their houses, from thence into the gardens and the fields" where fourteen prisoners were taken.
McDonald died of his wounds and three other Oakboys were severely wounded.
Despite their injuries, Charles Coote and Edward Mayne, joined from Cootehill by the latter's cousin Charles
Mayne (who later built "Freame Mount"), continued to direct operations by the Army against the Oakboys in
other parts of Counties Monaghan and Cavan. On 27 July they took part in a skirmish against a large group
of Oakboys at Wattle Bridge in which two troopers were wounded and seven Oakboys killed. On 3 August
a general pardon was offered to those who returned peacefully to their homes, and all resistance by the
rebels in the two counties was at an end.
The following year 1764, notwithstanding their prodigious effort in re-establishing the King's peace in
Monaghan, Charles Coote and Edward Mayne stood trial jointly at the Monaghan Lent Assize for the
murder of the unfortunate McDonald. However I doubt the two were seriously concerned as to the outcome.
At that time in the Protestant Ascendancy in Ireland there was little danger of a Monaghan court passing a
guilty verdict against such members of the gentry who were trying to maintain it. Indeed they were both
duly acquitted, Charles Coote was knighted for his enthusiasm in putting down the revolt and each lived into
old age and begat many children.

Bellamont Forest, Cootehill, a Palladian villa built by the Cootes in 1730. Joshua Reynold's portrait of Charles Coote, 1st
Earl of Bellamont, (above right) in the robes of a Knight of the Bath, makes him look absurd.
In his youth Charles Coote, who later became the 1st Earl of Bellamont following his work in helping to put down the Oakboy
revolt, was a Captain in the 10th of Foot. For all his "gallantry and high spirits" and "dazzling polish", he was also described as
"that madman!" He fought a duel with Marquess Townshend in which Charles received a serious bullet wound in the groin. This
gave rise to much hilarity in view of his reputation with the ladies!
The Cootes as a family were nothing if not unconventional. Some of the Cootehill branch might better be described as eccentric even by the standards of the Irish Ascendancy of those times! Maurice Craig in "Dublin 1660-1860" sees them as "a great and
eminently successful stock, military adventurers from Tyrone's wars onwards and premier baronets of England". In his later years,
Burke was more blunt and described Charles Coote as "a somewhat absurd figure, ultra sophisticated and ardently Francophile,
he insisted on making his maiden speech in the Irish House of Lords in French! Pompous and an inveterate womaniser". Charles
Will indicates that he had between 15 and 18 children of whom only five were by his wife, the rest being by four other women.
Joshua Reynold's in his portrait of him (above), painted in his robes of a Knight of the Bath, makes him look rather absurd (the
portrait hangs in the Irish National Gallery, Dublin).

-----------------------------Sir William Young, Bart (1773-1848), a friend of Captain John Mayne and almost the same age, figures in his story. Both
William and his elder brother Thomas, who were the sons of Rev. John Young of Eden, Co. Armagh, had distinguished careers
with the East India Company. Thomas died in 1808 and William became a Director of the Company and was made a Baronet in
1821. He lived at Baillieborough Castle in Co. Cavan, not far from John Mayne's family around Cootehill in neighbouring
Monaghan.
It seems probable that it was Sir William's influence which caused the Captain's three sons all to go out to India. Certainly it was
he that recommended each of them in turn 1840-43.

The list of the places where his Regiment was quartered during the time of the rebellion shows that the headquarters was then at
Carlow and that it deployed 9 Troops. There are accounts of the Regiment's part in the rebellion in Cannon's official record of
1841 and Reynard's 1904 history of the Regiment (which follows it closely). These have been compared with Irish rebel accounts
published in Ireland for the anniversary in 1998. From this comparison the list below has been produced of the occasions on
which the 9th were in action against the rebels and the casualties the Regiment suffered. We are unsure of how complete or
accurate this list is, but the two regimental references do show the name of any officer who was killed or wounded in each action
with one main exception. This is the operations that occurred at Castle Comer on 18th and at Kilcomney Hill on 19th June against
which is only the comment that "on these two occasions the Regiment lost many men and horses". No other accounts exist of the
Regiment's involvement in the Rebellion although Irish accounts mention actions by cavalry (unspecified) near Ferns in Wexford
on 27 May and at Arklow in Wicklow on 9 June. We have therefore concluded that Lieut. Mayne was almost certainly wounded
in the actions on 18 and 19 June since he is not named elsewhere.

COMMENT:There was a 'world-wide celebration' of the 1798 rebellion in Eire in 1998 (following the potato famine anniversary). Some
Mayne friends from New Zealand attended it and said that the organisers presented an entirely Republican view of the events of
that year in Ireland. Perhaps this is hardly surprising as Irish history has much of it grown out of an oral tradition in which the
English have invariably been cast as the villains. This is confirmed by some of the material that was put out about the events of
that year, and especially a book "Rebellion! Ireland in 1798" by Daniel J Gahan, "the foremost historian on the events of 1798",
which was published by the National 1798 Visitors Centre at Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford. Once again they have succeeded in
turning history on its head; it's as if Napoleon has been made out to have been the victor at Waterloo!

The following Irish anecdote is from "The History of the Latton O'Rahilly's Club & Parish", edited by Seamus O'Draoda (late 20th
century undated). Latton is a village 5 miles due east of Cootehill in Co. Monaghan and was once part of Aughnamullen Parish.
IRISH ROUGH JUSTICE
In this and the following anecdote the subject is almost certainly Captain John Mayne. However it is just possible the Captain
Mayne referred to could be one of his sons by his first wife, Captain Edward or Captain William Mayne, but this is unlikely as
both Edward and William emigrated to Australia in about 1839; Edward returned to Ireland later under a cloud!
"The village of Ballytrean [near Latton] was once a thriving industrial town. In the 18th century the population was over 3000
people. There were many industries there such as Flax-Mills, Corn Mills, a Distillery, Tan Yard, Weaving, Spinning and Lace
Making, all of which gave employment. The town had twelve public houses, which kept some people happy and others unhappy,
and it held eight fairs each year.
After the decline of the Linen industry, emigration set in and the other industries declined. The village was decimated during the
1847-48 potato famine. Also part of the town is said to have been submerged in the waters of the local lake. Today only a few
houses remain and about two dozen local residents.
Over a century ago, a local magistrate named Captain Mayne had an effective way of dealing with offenders of the law. With
14
twelve pubs in the town, drunkenness was a common offence. Any tipplers brought before the magistrate would be made to walk
across a plank over a mill race. If he succeeded in 'walking the plank' he was released. If not, his ducking in the cold water was
sufficient for justice to be done. Anyone who refused to cross the plank would have to walk to Monaghan jail [about 17 miles
away] to serve his sentence. This system would be an ideal solution for avoiding overcrowded jails in present times!"

overproduced wool and meat and under-produced grain. Furthermore, a problem arose in 1843 over money paid by the
government into his bank to buy police horses. The money was seized by the Sheriff and Edward was dismissed as a
Commissioner. His expensive cows, bought for 20 to 80 borrowed dollars at the top of the boom, were now worth only a dollar a
head and he was broke. Edward fought his dismissal and appealed to Lord Stanley for an investigation but was never given one. It
was rough justice, and poor Edward was hounded out, even being declared unfit to hold a pastoral licence in 1846 so that he lost
his house with no compensation. He returned to Ireland a broken man and died there in 1850. (Ref. "A Million Wild Acres" by

After making many exhaustive queries as to the address of their landlord, they arrived at his residence on the north side, totally
fatigued, but not drained of hope. Dogs barked as they walked weakly up the long drive towards the ivy-clad Georgian residence.
Luckily for them Colburn Mayne was at home. He listened intently to Patrick's tale of woe. He said nothing until they had
partaken of a hearty and well-deserved meal on which they inflicted full justice.
As it was now dark and late into the night, the landlord ordered his servants to find them shelter until next day. They slept
uneasily as they were still unaware of the landlord's decision. They only had to wait and hope.
Next morning they were overjoyed and grateful when he announced that he had decided to cancel the eviction order. He
moreover gave them sufficient cash to take them home in comfort. The McCabes are living happily in Munea and in better times
today. The humanity and friendliness of a landlord triumphed in those far off days."

He then engaged in orcharding, dairying and grazing and eventually bought his own property Greenlake, Rossmoya,
Rockhampton, where the family lived for ten years. They left Greenlake on purchasing Wealwandangie, Springsure, in
Queensland where he lived for 24 years before retiring to Brisbane. Wealwandangie he sold to his son John and his wife Dell.
Catherine died in 1955 and in 1966 he married Minnie Wearne, the granddaughter of a pioneering family in south-west
Queensland. In 1969 they moved to Banora Point, New South Wales.
In 1974, JC Mayne wrote that "the pioneering spirit and love of the land is firmly entrenched in the present generations of this
branch of the Mayne family. My four sons are all actively engaged in pastoral pursuits in Central Queensland as are my seven
grandsons Jack, Max, Kim, Peter, Philip, Raymond and Bruce2.
JC Mayne died at his home 180 Rowbotham Street, Toowoomba, shortly after his 105th birthday. He formerly lived at
Wealwandangie, Springsure, and in 1974, when he compiled the family descent from his great grandfather Captain William
Colburn Mayne, he was living at Banora Point in New South Wales.

Dorothea Colburn Mayne was born in NSW and married Henry Scott Harden, a grazier, in England in 1866 when she was 20 and
he 32. He had been born in Ghent, Belgium, the youngest of seven children of a family which is thought to descend from the
Hardens of Ireland. It is said that Dorothea met Henry in Paris and that they eloped when her family disapproved of him.
In 1871 Henry Harden met a distant cousin, William Henry Walker, at Toowoomba in Queensland. William, who had been
educated in Scotland, had been working with his brother Thomas on a station at Gracemere, Rockhampton, where he had sold
some sheep and was looking to purchase a property of his own. He and Henry Harden together then bought the Glenlyon station at
Pikes Creek on the Severn River near the town of Stanthorpe in the Darling Downs, southern Queensland, financed by a relation
of William's, JT Walker who was a bank manager at Toowoomba. Glenlyon, at that time, extended to about 110,000 acres and had
permanent water. Henry, who was the senior partner, reported that they "improved the sheep considerably and repeatedly got the
highest average price for the clip obtained by any Queensland station".

Henry died of tuberculosis in 1879 at Petrie's Bight, Queensland, after which Dora, with the help of her brother Edward (his
executor) sold off Henrys share of Glenlyon to his partner William H Walker and moved to a small property at Armidale, NSW,
to provide for the education of her younger children. Later she moved to Sydney where she suffered a stroke caused when she
heard the news of her son Williams death in 1916 while serving with the 1 st AIF during the First World War. She remained an
invalid for the next six years, dying in 1922.

Henry & Dorothea's children were:- Marion (who married Rev. William Kemmis), Dora, Eva, Henry, William (who has five great
grandchildren: Michele, Christopher, Anthony, Craig & Jennifer Mayne Harden), Ethel, Alan & Kathleen Harden (who married
REC Scott in 1908 and had two sons, Alan & Robert Scott).
Of the three Harden sons, William was killed in the First World War 1916, Henry died in Queensland in 1921, and Alan, the
youngest, who served in the Boer War, went from South Africa to the USA where he died in 1932.

It was one of the most complete, spacious and nicest houses and grounds you could wish to have. It was fully furnished and my
father used to pay 300 a year for it. He took it for a month but liked it so much that he remained 13 years in it. Before leaving
he gave the landlord a month's notice. The landlord demanded six month's notice and they went to law. It was decided against
my father saying that after he had taken it for one month he then became a yearly tenant and the landlord was entitled to six
month's notice or half a year's rent. My father paid the 150. In the meantime we had gone to a house in Booterstown because the

Mary Emily Mayne ne Caldwell was born in South India, probably at "Roslyn", Kodaikanal, a hill station in the Palani Hills of
Madras State (now Tamil Nadu), which was her father's house, and where she died. She was the youngest daughter of Robert
Caldwell, missionary bishop of South India, and Eliza ne Mault. An article about them entitled: FAITH AND FAMILY IN
SOUTH INDIA is at: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=2_ZstVBZSfIC&lpg=PP1&pg=PA148#v=onepage&q&f=true . And a
biography of Bishop Robert Caldwell is at: http://www.britishempire.co.uk/biography/robertcaldwell.htm .
Mary died of cancer at Kodaikanal after a long illness during which she was nursed by Roman Catholic nuns. As a result she
became a Catholic before she died. She was buried at her home at Kodaikanal and not alongside her parents who lie in the church
the Bishop built at Edeyengudi, near Cape Cormorin, the southernmost tip of South India.

Mary Mayne's younger daughter, Dorothea, remembers her as a very strong character, totally unafraid of approaching strangers.
Mary was the seventh child of a seventh child and was well known for her psychic powers! Because of the effect on her, her
husband used to forbid her taking part in sances. Each time she went to London something exciting seemed to happen to her. On
losing her purse in Harrods one day she went up to see one of the directors and borrowed five pounds from him!
She was a strong supporter of the suffragette movement and took part in a march when some of the women were arrested. In
contrast her husband Bobby was a rather dour man but with a dry sense of humour.
Mary Mayne's home in England when the children were nearby at school was at Manningford, Bolebrooke Road, Bexhill, Sussex.
Her home in India where she died was at Roslyn, Kodaikanal, Palani Hills, South India.

"Goodrest" was John Dawson & Annie Maynes home from about 1877.
In England Judge John Dawson Mayne and his second wife lived at Shinfield near Reading, Berkshire, in a converted 17th
century ornamental Gothic mansion (built in 1630 by Sir Francis Englefield) called "Goodrest" which JD acquired around 187780. The house was so named because, during the Civil War, it was where in 1643 an exhausted Cromwell stayed after the battle of
Newbury. JD and Annie Katherine were there at the 1881 Census together with a cook, parlour maid and housemaid.
The estate is also known by its original name, Shinfield Park, and in the map of 1882 the size of the gardens and orchards to the
south of the house is said to have required about 20 gardeners. Since JD's time the north-west half of the grounds were sold off for
housing which necessitated the filling in of a lake. The remainder of the estate is now a school (Crosfields School, part of the
Leighton Park Trust).
JD and his wife died at "Goodrest" in 1917 within six weeks of each other and are buried in Shinfield cemetery, 200 yards from St
Mary's church.
Postscript
On a visit made in 1984 to Shinfield and Crosfield School, we spoke to an elderly resident Jack Spink who told of an even older
local woman who had just died and had worked at "Goodrest" in JD's time. Jack remembered the deceased saying that the old
couple (JD and his wife) were fairly reclusive and the Judge's wife always wore a veil (the Port wine mark?) and that they were
very security conscious. They used to insist that the doors were unlocked and then locked again as visitors went through the house
(an Indian view of the threat of theft perhaps?).

Annie was the daughter of Charles Craigie Halkett-Inclis of Cramond, Midlothian and Harthill (in or near Edinburgh, Scotland).
Annie was reputed to be very beautiful despite her face being marred by what in Victorian times was called 'a Port wine mark' i.e.
a birth mark.
In India Annie and JD ran off together and each later divorced their first spouses in order to marry in May 1873. The name of
Annie's first husband is not known.

Edward Gibson was a Dublin Barrister who became the first Lord Ashbourne in 1885 following his appointment as Lord
Chancellor of Ireland with a seat in the Conservative Cabinet.
Despite childish ill health from the age of 11 or 12, resulting in long absence from school, he had a "highly successful" time at
University (Trinity College, Dublin - a 'First' in History. Political Science & English Lit). It was probably due to his father, a very
wealthy Dublin solicitor with connections in the Inland Revenue that Edward chose initially to follow a career in the law. But his
legal links were greatly strengthened when in 1868 he married Frances Maria Adelaide Colles, both of whose parents came from
large families (Colles and Mayne) full of lawyers, many of them still practising in Dublin. His grandmother was Elizabeth Mary
Mayne, whose brothers, father John Mayne and grandfather Judge Edward Mayne had all been barristers.
Apart from his cleverness, Gibson's other main talent, shared by many an Irishman, was his ability to move an audience with his
oratory. With this powerful combination and a private income (from his father), he had the freedom to please himself. His start on
a legal career was unremarkable. He was called to the Irish Bar in 1860 and became a QC (Queen's Counsel) in 1872. However,
during this period while travelling on the Leinster circuit he had been a Conservative political organiser and in 1874 he fought his
first election for Waterford City - and lost. The following year he contested the by-election at Trinity College, Dublin, and was
returned. Thus he found himself sitting in the Westminster parliament in London where Disraeli's Conservative government
formed in 1874 had other interests apart from Ireland. Gibson was a strong supporter of Disraeli who used him and his oratory
with success in maintaining an Irish policy of inactivity - even after the situation there deteriorated after 1877. That year he was
made Attorney General for Ireland and for the next three years used that minor legal office to increase his influence in Irish
affairs. He remained fully committed to politics despite being offered a Judgeship in the Irish Court of Appeal in 1878. It was said
that he turned down a similar offer in 1880.
Disraeli lost the 1880 general election to Gladstone's Liberals. From that time Ireland became once more a contentious political
issue with Disraeli trying to find Irish policies on which to divide and destroy the 120 seat Liberal majority. Gibson had the role of
making vigorous partisan speeches on the Irish question in the House of Commons on Disraeli's behalf. He particularly enjoyed
his intimacy with the great man until Disraeli's death in April 1881, and Gibson left verbatim accounts of their meetings.
There followed a struggle for power in the Conservative party between Lord Salisbury, Randolph Churchill and Sir Stafford
Northcote. Gibson supported Northcote. When Salisbury finally won out in 1884, he needed Northcote's supporters to protect him
against Churchill - whose intrigues continued for two years! Gibson was especially valuable as he was the only prominent
Conservative able to eclipse Churchill in debate.
When the Conservatives were returned to office in 1885, Salisbury offered Gibson the post of Home Secretary. Surprisingly he
refused this, one of the three highest political appointments in the land. It seems he preferred the financial security of a pension for
life awarded to the Irish Chancellor, which he became in 1885. For a patently ambitious and already wealthy politician with no
apparent aspirations in the law, this was an odd decision. It appears that there were family reasons. He and his wife, Frances, had
eight children, the youngest of whom, Constance (his favourite) wrote later that he had accepted to become Chancellor to "be
better able to provide for his children", although he would much more have enjoyed remaining in the Commons.
So, in 1885, Gibson found himself in the House of Lords as Lord Ashbourne, Chancellor of Ireland, with a seat in the Cabinet. In
July he drafted his famous Irish Land Purchase Act almost single-handed, and earned great acclaim for it. But there then followed
a sea-change in his political fortunes. By January 1886 "he was by a long way the most unpopular man in the party" due to his
allegiance to Irish Home Rule (probably untrue) at a time when his party were driving for Unionism and pressing for strong
measures. Despite efforts to restate his support for Unionism, he failed to provide the evidence of Irish lawlessness that was
needed to suppress the National League, and failed dismally to restore his own prestige. Within months (Jan. 1886), the
government had to resign to a chorus of complaints about Ashbourne's incompetence. Thereafter, although his seat in the Cabinet
survived, mainly due to political forces outside his control, he never again carried any political weight and drifted into
comparative obscurity.
In hindsight it seems that just as this able man, aged only 48, was within reach of the pinnacles of political power, he was
overcome by a sense of family obligation. He was always devoted to his wife and children, and even at the height of his fame in
the early 1880s he was seldom seen in Conservative society and his colleagues hardly knew him in private life. But now, as
Chancellor, he began spending even more time with the family, sometimes to the detriment of his political duties. He had acquired
the "Chateau de la Cocherie" at Boulogne on long lease and there the family began to meet with increasing regularity. This second
half of his political career could hardly have been more dissimilar to the first. His colleagues had difficulty in remembering that
the brilliant Mr Gibson, the authority on Irish affairs, and the stolid Lord Ashbourne were one and the same person.
53
In his last years he stood out as a venerable relic from the past, linking the world of Disraeli to the very different one of Bonar
Law. For 20 years he was one of the most dispensable of ministers in the Tory government, valued chiefly for his comments on
the small print of legislation, and for occasional speeches in the Lords. He never retired and died in 1913 aged 76.

PS. Despite his apparent concern for his family, one of his daughters, Violet Gibson, became famous as The Woman who Shot
Mussolini in 1926!

Richard Mayne was born in Dublin, the fourth son of an Irish Judge. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and Trinity
College Cambridge, Lincoln's Inn and was called to the Bar in 1822.
After seven years as a Barrister on the English Northern Circuit he was selected as one of two joint Commissioners of the
(London) Metropolitan Police on its first formation in 1829. He and his co-founder, Colonel Charles Rowan, had to introduce a
new concept of policing and to recruit, organise and train the force against considerable opposition.
Mayne was commended for his policing of the Chartist riots of 1848, the Great Exhibition of 1851 when he was made KCB, and
the Hyde Perk Riots of 1867. He became sole Commissioner in 1850 and remained so until his death in 1868. Mayne had served
as founding Commissioner of the Met for almost 40 years. He lived at 80 Chester Square, London. Read a short biography A
Policemans Lot in which he is compared with two modern holders of this important post.

William and Frances lived at Freame Mount for a period but also lived at Templeogue House, Co. Dublin. They had nine children,
one of whom was born every year between 1821and 1829. All but one of their five daughters was given their mother's name Annesley. (It is possible that Frances Mayne and her father William Annesley are related to the family of William Annesley, the
first Viscount who died in 1770, but this remains unconfirmed).

Reply to a letter in the 'Clogher Record' about the Great Famine:"LANDLORD LIBERALITY" DURING THE GREAT FAMINE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Landlords and their agents have had a bad press for their lack of sympathy for tenants in the dark days of the Great Famine, as
Neil McAtamney reminds us in his interesting article "The Great Famine in County Fermanagh" (Clogher Record 1994). He takes
a balanced view between on the one hand, reports in contemporary newspapers which were favourable to landowners and possibly
biased in that their readership was virtually confined to "well-to-do farmers, professionals and the landlord class" and, on the other
hand, oral history of landlord malevolence much of which is elaboration or just plain myth that has developed over the years.
Mr McAtamney quotes a journalist from The Impartial Reporter who wrote in 1975 that "Fermanagh landlords on the whole were
more compassionate and helped with efforts to alleviate distress". Whatever the truth of this assertion I would suggest, firstly, that
it would be very difficult for a landlord (unless he was an absentee with no interest in his possessions) and especially for his local
agent to stand aside from the desperate situation in which so many tenants found themselves during the famine. The capacity and
willingness to help may have varied, but it is difficult to believe in the indifference that is historically ascribed to local agents who
perforce were in the midst of the tenants and their suffering. Secondly, circumstantial evidence does exist to substantiate some of
the contemporary newspaper reports of humanitarian actions by landlords (not only in County Fermanagh).
I cite the example of Richard Mayne of Glynch House, Newbliss, Co. Monaghan who was agent for the Beehive property
(consisting of the large townlands of Carrickmacroman and Knockataggart, Laragh, Co. Cavan) owned by Dawson Richard Coote.
The Anglo-Celt of 23 February 1849 reported that:
"The property was divided into small farms of from one to ten acres each, and the
holders, through the famine distress, were unable to pay their rents. Richard
Mayne graciously forgave them every penny of arrears, clothed them, paid their
passage to America. And fed them during the voyage."
The report then went on to detail the names of each of the twenty tenants, the number in each family (77 souls in all) and the exact
size of each holding. The list of these names is given below. They may be of value to the genealogist but, more significantly,
such background detail supports the accuracy of this and similar contemporary accounts from Fermanagh and neighbouring
counties. No doubt the actions of Richard Mayne and agents like him can be misinterpreted but, in fairness, not all evidence of
"landlord liberality" towards their tenants should be discounted as journalistic bias, even though it contradicts the Irish oral
tradition which historians find so persuasive.
The names of the families who were assisted by Richard Mayne to emigrate to America were:

An English computer engineer and publisher, Bryan Mills, bought a very run down Bellamont from the O'Gowans. He completely
refurbished the house, but stayed only long enough to complete the major task of turning it into a comfortable residence by
modern standards. Then in 1987 there arrived a wealthy Australian interior designer, John Coote, a descendant of the family that
left Cootehill a century before, to purchase "his old family home". Although he kept Mills' modern systems, he spent more than
two years returned the house interior back to the original white formality of the 18th century, complete with period furniture. The
magnificent old house now stands in all its former glory - but sadly empty and unloved. Both Mills and now Coote were too busy
to live here and enjoy what they had created, so Bellamont is on the market once again. It is looking to come alive again as a
family home, as it once was when the gallant and high spirited Charles Coote, and later his granddaughter Louisa, lived here amid
the unchanging beauty of the forests and lakes of this beautiful part of old Ireland.

LATIN INSCRIPTION
The translation of the Latin inscription, which appears to have been engraved on two occasions, first in 1773 and then in 1825,
reads as written below. It is almost certain that the initiator in 1773 was the effective head of the family then in residence, Charles
Mayne 1727-77 (he had just built his house, Freame Mount the previous year). The addition in 1825 of three sentences about
William Mayne of Freame Mount 1758-1817 and his first wife Isabella and their children can only have been cut by their eldest
and surviving son, William Mayne 1789-1847.
"Here lies the mortal remains of ANNE MAYNE, and also of MARGARET PEARCE one of the daughters of RICHARD
DAWSON, Esq of this County, and also of REBECCA, the only daughter of the same MARGARET, who was married to
ROBERT MAYNE of distinguished birth at Creslow, Bucks, England. He was outstanding in carrying out his Christian duty
both as a parent and a husband, and they gave to their last County six sons and one daughter. 1773".
"Here also are buried the mortal remains of WILLIAM MAYNE and his wife ISABELLA. She died in 1795 and he in 1817. They
had nine children of whom one son is surviving today in 1825".
COMMENT
There are many different Mayne Arms. The one found at Dartrey has the same 'shield' as the Arms of the Maynes of Creslow
(granted 1604) and of Dinton (granted before 1628) in Buckinghamshire. However the 'crest' of both Creslow and Dinton (dexter
hand between two wings) is quite different from Dartrey, and nor is the Dartrey motto found elsewhere.
The Arms were engraved in 1773 by Charles Mayne, and this was some twenty years after the death of Robert Mayne, whose
origin he gave as Buckinghamshire in the inscription. The shield, but not the crest, is consistent with some Buckinghamshire
connection for Robert but none has been found there. Surely Robert as a younger son of John and Anne Mayne of Mount
Sedborough, came from there and was not "of distinguished birth at Creslow." Is this English link fact or manufacture?

View of part of the Dartrey estate and Inner Lough seen from
30 foot up on the roof of the temple erected on Black Island
in the 1770s by Thomas Dawson, then owner of the estate.
Rebecca Mayne was brought up at Dawson's Grove, the estate of Richard Dawson, one of the great 17th century landowners of
the Cootehill area. From her home at Dromore, Rebecca overlooked the rolling fields, woods and lakes of Dawson's Grove. The
Dawson family retained their land and in the 19th century they were one of four families who still owned great estates in the area,
several of them using members of the Mayne family as agents to oversee their tenants and property. The four landowners were :The Clones Estate owned by Sir Thomas Barrett-Lennard, Bart.
The Coote Estate owned by Mr. Coote of Raconnell, Esq.
The Rock Corry Estate owned by the Corry family
The Dawson Estate owned by the Earl of Dartrey
In 1770 Thomas Dawson, a Whig MP for Co. Monaghan, was ennobled as Viscount Cremorne and in due course the Dawsons
were able to sit in the Lords of both Irish and English parliaments. Reflecting the family's increase in power and status, Richard
Dawson, the 3rd Lord Cremorne, replaced their existing brick house built in 1780, by a much grander building in 1846 ("an
Elizabethan-Revival mansion) which became known as Dartrey Castle.
Sad to say that eventually the fortunes of the Dawsons waned, the male line died out and in 1937 the contents of Dartrey Castle
were sold. In about 1950 the Castle was demolished and this beautiful once thriving estate on the shores of Lough Dromore was
given over to forestry. See DARTREY: a great Irish estate Paradise Lost?
Dartrey Castle, built in 1780 by the 3rd Lord Cremorne, was demolished in 1950

The Sedborough Mayne Arms carved in 1773 on the memorial stone at the family vault in Dartrey churchyard
at Cootehill. The motto reads Manus Justa Decus. Information is also carved on the stone about those of the
family who were buried there. Additional carved names were added in 1825.

There have been many unsuccessful attempts to discover links between the different family groups of
MAYNE in this one-name study. Some examples :-
Ireland & Bucks. There is evidence in Ireland in the form of a 1773 memorial stone inscription at the
Mayne vault at Dartrey that Robert Mayne (1679-1753) of the Sedborough family was born at Creslow, near
Hoggeston in Buckinghamshire, thus linking the Bucks and Irish branches. Although there are details of the
large Mayne family who were established at Hoggeston and from 1596 at Creslow, no record of this
Roberts English origin has been found there.
Ireland & Scotland. Similarities have been identified between the Echlin and Erskine Mayne families. Both
emigrated from Scotland to the same part of Ireland in the 18th century, but no common link has been
discovered.
Devon. In the 16th century, both the Marwood and Shirwell families were living in villages just three miles
apart in rural north Devon, yet no connection between them has been established (the Shirwill family
includes the Catholic priest, Saint Cuthbert Mayne).
Kent & Devon. There have been several persistent but vain attempts over the years to claim descent from
the wealthy Kent Mayne(y)s of the Middle Ages who, it appears, died out as a result of their overreaching
support of the King during the English Civil War. One 19th century claim came from a lawyer, John Thomas
Mayne, of the Exeter family who went to the lengths of manufacturing a spurious pedigree, published by
Burke, and accumulating portraits of other Mayne families to support it.
Ireland, Bucks, Kent & Normandy. A large pedigree, produced about 1900 by another lawyer, John
Dawson Mayne (1828-1917), was widely circulated in UK. It linked his Sedborough Irish family Mayne and
the Buckinghamshire Maynes with the Mayne(y) family of Kent, and through them to the Mayennes of
Normandy (France), back to the year 848 AD. Although much of his data on individuals proves accurate, no
evidence could be found to confirm most of the links he had added between the different family groups in
the course of the 29 generations of his pedigree. It remains unvalidated as a bit of interesting wishful
thinking!
