This post follows on from earlier posts I've done on the Grattan family of Kildare and Offaly, and their links to Hon. Henry Grattan. I've taken genealogical notes taken from, amongst others, The Peerage online website, and also from family notices posted in newspapers over the centuries, which help to c larify the various families and relationships.
(I personally link vaguely to the family of Richard Grattan JP of Drummin, Kildare/Offaly, who was married to Elizabeth Biddulph, and whose daughter, Frances Grattan, married Rev. William Willis. I descend directly from William Willis's sister, Eliza Willis....)
According to 'University Magazine: A Literary and Philosophic Review, Vol. 42', in the reign of Queen Anne, six Grattan brothers settled in Dublin and neighbouring counties; these were friends with of Jonathan Swift, the Dean of St. Patricks. From these six men, the Irish Grattans descend. And there are a lot of them.....
The Grattans of Clonmeen, Carbery, Kildare:
A Symon/Simon Grattan of Rinaghan, Carbery, Kildare, died there in 1697. He also owned or leased property in James St, Dublin, but I can find no further reference to Simon Grattan. His son was possibly John Grattan of Clonmeen, Carbery. A John Grattan of Clonmeen died in 1741; a second John Grattan of Clonmeen died there in 1754.
John Grattan was married to Martha Mason; one of their daughters, Anne Grattan, who died on August 6th 1748, married the wealthy merchant, William Lunell of Dublin, while a second daughter, Mary Grattan, married William Whitmore and had a daughter, Olivia Whitmore, who married Arthur Guinness of Beaumont. John Grattan and Martha Mason of Clonmeen also had a son, Rev. William Grattan, who might be the Rev. William Grattan of Carbery who married Catherine, the daughter of Counsellor Sherlock, and who was recorded as dying at Sherlockstown, Kildare, in July 1761.
(However, a Rev. William Grattan, who died at Sherlockstown, was also noted as being of Drummin, which would mean he was of the family of James Grattan MD and Elizabeth Tyrell, discussed further in this post....perhaps Clonmeen and Drummin are basically the same family and the same place, but I really don't know...)
Deed 132-331-89496, dated February 1745, details an arrangement between John Grattan of Clonmeen, Kildare, and his son and heir, Rev. William Grattan, whereby it was agreed that, during his life, John Grattan should hold land known as Demesne - still called that today - and that he would pay £6 8s. 6d. per annum to the heirs and assigns of Robert Grattan. His son and heir, Rev. William Grattan was to get half of Clonmeen, somewhere indecipherable such as Derenany as well as a windmill in the same townland, Ballyshannon, Knockballyboy, Phillipstown and Killaderry. Most of these places are close to Carbery, Drummin/Drummond and Edenderry. Clonmeen was two miles north of Edenderry.
Historian Turtle Bunbury confirms that John Grattan, who married Martha Mason, and who lived at Clonmeen, Edenderry, Kildare, was indeed a cousin of Hon. Henry Grattan, although the term 'cousin' can refer simply to a family link and should not be taken literally.
Hon. Henry Grattan was the son of James Grattan, Recorder of Dublin, who was the son of Henry Grattan and Bridget Flemyng of Garrycross, Co. Cavan; the great-grandparents of Hon. Henry Grattan were Rev. Patrick Grattan and Grisel Brereton, who follow....
The descendants of Rev. Patrick Grattan and Grisel Brereton:
The Rev. Patrick Grattan was appointed to Cappagh Rectory, Co. Derry, on 27th November 1671. He died in 1703 having married Grisel Brereton in 1669, the daughter of his predecessor. His estate was in Belcamp, Santry, Co. Dublin. His family were on close personal terms with Jonathan Swift, Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin.
A son of Rev. Patrick Grattan of Belcamp, Santry, and of Grisel Brereton was Rev. William Grattan of Fermanagh (1672 - 1719), who married Sophia Gore, daughter of Sir William Gore, baronet. A daughter of Rev. William Grattan was Elizabeth Gore Grattan, born circa 1716 at Cappagh, Tipperary, who married Skeffington Bristow, and who died in 1792 in Antrim. Rev. William Grattan succeeded his father at Cappagh Parish, Co. Derry, on 24th August 1703.
Another son of Rev. Patrick Grattan was Henry Grattan of Garrycross, Co. Cavan, who married Bridget Flemyng. He was noted as High Sheriff of Cavan in 1710.
Henry Grattan and Bridget Flemyng's son was James Grattan, Recorder of Dublin who married Mary Marlay, daughter of Thomas Marlay, chief justice of Ireland. The Marlay estates were situated at Celbridge Abbey, Kildare; Celbridge Abbey passed therefore into the Grattan family.
James Grattan and Mary Marlay were the parents of the Hon. Henry Grattan of Grattan's Parliament. As well as Rt. Hon. Henry Grattan, James Grattan and Mary Marlay had a daughter, Catherine Grattan.
Another son of Rev. Patrick Grattan was Rev. Robert/Robin Grattan of St. Audeon's Church, Dublin (1678 - 1741), executor of Jonathan Swift's will, as was his brother, Rev. John/Jack Grattan of St. Audeon's, Clonmenthan, and St. Nicholas Within (1680 -1754).
Another son of Rev. Patrick Grattan was Charles/Charlie Grattan, (1688 - 1747), master of Portora School, Enniskillen. He married Mary Copeland. Their son was Rev. William Grattan of Sylvan Park, , and of Swanlinbar, Cavan, who was married to Elizabeth Foster. The son of Rev. William Grattan of Sylvan Park was Rev. William Copeland Grattan (1784 - 1844) who married Anna Selina Nixon and had two sons, Copeland Grattan of Lower Fitzwilliam Street, Dublin, who died there in 1850, and also Humphrey Grattan who emigrated to Australia and married Sophia Beggs of Dublin.
A daughter of Rev. William Grattan and Elizabeth Foster of Sylvan Park, Meath, was Emily Eleanor Grattan, who married in Crossakiel Church, Co. Meath, on 12th July 1853, Edward Hudson of Loughbrickland, Co. Down, and of Gardiner's Place, Dublin. In 1853, the estate of Edward Hudson was being sold in Cavan - he was named as trustee of the estate of the late Rev. William Grattan.
Rev. Patrick Grattan and Grisel Brereton also had Sir Richard Grattan, alderman and Sheriff of Dublin, who died in 1736.
But to return to James Grattan MD, son of Rev. Patrick Grattan and Grisel Brereton....
1) James Grattan, MD (1673 - 1747), son of Rev. Patrick Grattan: he trained in medicine in Holland and who was three times the President of the Royal College of Physicians. James Grattan MD married Elizabeth Tyrrell, most likely a member of the Tyrrell family of Castle Grange, Kildare, whose family intermarried with the Grattans of Edenderry
A son of Dr. James Grattan and Elizabeth Tyrell was Rev. William Grattan of Edenderry. The Hibernian Journal of 3rd October 1781, notes that the widow of Rev. William Grattan of Drummin, Kildare, died at this time.
A Rev. William Grattan married Catherine, daughter of Counsellor Sherlock of Sherlockstown, and Rev. William Grattan of Drummin is noted as having died at Sherlockstown in 1761; later, Richard Sherlock of Dublin made his will in the 1790s in which he left his property to his wife, Ann, and also to his two nephews, Richard Grattan and Rev. William Grattan...
Given that Rev. William Grattan was linked to Drummin, I would hasard a guess that Richard Grattan JP who married Elizabeth Biddulph in 1788, and who lived at Drummin, descends from this man. Rev. William Grattan, the father of Richard Grattan, took out a lease on approximately 580 acres of land at Drummond, Kildare, in 1746. This lease was renewed by his grandson, Richard Grattan MD, in 1840 for the lives of himself and his two sons, Richard and William Grattan. Also mentioned in the lease was the name Nicholas Biddulph.

http://alison-stewart.blogspot.ie/2013/09/notes-on-family-of-frances-grattan-of.html
A son of Dr. James Grattan and Elizabeth Tyrrell was Thomas Grattan of Rathvilla. The Hibernian Journal of 22nd March 1776 noted that Thomas Grattan of Rathvilla, King's County, married Miss Field of Rathangan, Co. Kildare. A Thomas Grattan was paying tithes on a property in Rathvilla in the 1830s, although given the date, this must have been a grandson of the original Thomas Grattan. Thomas Grattan of Rathvilla married Isabella Field, who, following his death in 1854, emigrated to Australia with her children. A notice in 'The Argus' of Melbourne noted on 16th February 1881, that Isabella, widow of Thomas Grattan, late of Rathvilla, King's County, died aged 63 at Glasgow cottage,Chapel-street, South Yarra.
A son of Dr. James Grattan and Elizabeth Tyrrell was Francis Grattan (1759-1801) who married Rosanna Odlum, the daughter of Henry Odlum and Elizabeth Paine in 1791.
A son of Dr. James Grattan and Elizabeth Tyrell was Joseph Grattan who died young, and Richard Grattan, who was born and died in 1754.
John Grattan MD (1713 - 1787) and Hannah Colley:
This brings us to the son of James Grattan and Elizabeth Tyrell who was John Grattan MD (1713 - 1787) of Edenderry, Offaly/Kildare.
Dr. John Grattan of Edenderry was married to Hannah Colley whose family estate was at Castle Carbery, Kildare.
Their son was Captain William Grattan (1744 - 1798) of Edenderry who had studied medicine in Dublin inder Mr. Cleghorn before being appointed to the post of assistant surgeon with the 64th Regiment in the US and in the Napoleonic wars. Following 18 years of military service, he returned home to Edenderry, to his elderly parents, 3 brothers and 2 sisters, and married, in 1792, Jane Gifford, the daughter of Sir Duke Gifford of Meath. He subsequently settled in Rathangan, Co. Kildare, and died suddenly in Wexford at the height of the 1798 rebellion, having joined up again with the military.
A daughter of John Grattan MD and Hannah Colley was Elizabeth Grattan (1746 - 1808).
A son of John Grattan MD and Hannah Colley was Thomas Grattan MD (1749 - 1801) who had two wives - Ann Sullivan and then Frances Muloch. A son of Thomas Grattan and Ann Sullivan was John Grattan MD of Edenderry (1788 - 15th January 1836) who married Margaret Alicia Shawe, the daughter of Edmund Shawe of Coolair, Kildare, who were themselves the parents of Thomas Grattan, apothecary of Belfast (1810 - 1879). Another son of John Grattan MD of Edenderry and Margaret Alicia Shawe was the dentist William Grattan who died in December 1847. On 12th February 1850 in Belfast, Richard Evans son of William Evans, married Eliza Shawe Grattan, second daughter of the late Dr Grattan, ie, the daughter of John Grattan of Edenderry and of Margaret Alicia Shawe.
(The Public Record Office in Belfast holds the surgeons' and apothecaries' certificates of members of the Grattan family of Edenderry, King's County, 1799-1840, along with rent receipts for Thomas Grattan's premises as a surgeon dentist in College Square, Belfast, 1869-1877, and an emigrant letter from A. Tyrell in Weston, Ontario, 1850, who was related to the Tyrrell family of Elizabeth Tyrrell of Kildare, wife of Dr. James Grattan MD of Edenderry. William Tyrrell emigrated to Weston, Ontario, and was the father of engineers, Henry Grattan Tyrrell and James Williams Tyrrell.)
Another son of Dr. John Grattan and Hannah Colley of Edenderry was the attorney and solicitor Colley Grattan (1754 - 1815) of Clayton Lodge, Castle Carbery, (which was burned out in 1798) married to Elizabeth Warren, and these two were the parents of the writer, Thomas Colley Grattan (1791 - 1864) , the cousin of Dr. Richard Grattan of Drummin, Co. Kildare. Thomas Colley Grattan had a daughter who was married to the Belgian Secretary of Legation in Turin, and two sons, Edmund Grattan, H.M. Consul in Anterp, and Colonel Grattan of the Royal Corps of Engineers.
Another son of the solicitor Colley Grattan and Elizabeth Warren was William Grattan of the Connaught Rangers who married Jane Menzies and who died in 1858. The daughter of William Grattan and Janes Menzies was Harriet Grattan who married Neptune Blood Gallwey, the son of Major Gallwey of the 16th regiment, on 10th November 1857 in St. Peter's. You just know Neptune Blood Gallwey had a walrus moustache.
A Colley Grattan (1817 - 1847), surgeon, died aged 30 in Dublin in 1847 and must have been another member of this strain of the family.
Other Grattans of Edenderry:
The descendants of James Grattan MD and Elizabeth Tyrrell settled at Edenderry which straddles the border of Kildare and King's County/Offaly. The following Grattans were associated with Edenderry, but I can't decipher which strain of Grattan they link correctly to.
The widow of a Rev. William Grattan of Edenderry, Elizabeth Grattan (1765-1837), died aged 72 in Dublin in 1837. It's as yet unclear which Rev. William Grattan this was. There are a lot of them.
On 3rd February 1864 in Edenderry, Dr. Mathew Henry Grattan of Chipping Ongar, Essex, son of the late Dr. William Grattan of Edenderry, married Lizzie, daughter of John J. Hipwell of Edenderry. Dr. Mathew Henry Grattan of Edenderry graduated from the College of Physicians in Ireland in 1863.
On 16th February 1848 in Edenderry, William Watson of Ballinrath, King's County, married Marianne Grattan, second daughter of William Grattan Esq. of Edenderry.
(I personally link vaguely to the family of Richard Grattan JP of Drummin, Kildare/Offaly, who was married to Elizabeth Biddulph, and whose daughter, Frances Grattan, married Rev. William Willis. I descend directly from William Willis's sister, Eliza Willis....)
