The Galweys of Munster

By SIR HENRY BLACKALL

PART 2*
GENEALOGIES

As the claim of the Clanrickard family to descend from Charlemagne has been effectively disproved by Round, and the story of Sir John de Galwey and his de Burgh parentage cannot in my view be accepted, I do not propose to incorporate either in the following pedigrees. Both are to be found in the Genealogy of The Galweys of Lota published in this Journal in 1925. 98 In that article the 1763 pedigree is fully set out, with certain additions by the contributor. Some of these were not altogether happy, for he confused William Galwey, Catholic Dean of Waterford, with his kinsman William Galwey, Protestant Archdeacon of Cashel, and fathered the latter's progeny upon the worthy dean

When preparing the genealogies for this work I had to consider how far that part of the 1763 pedigree covering the 14th—16th centuries could be relied on. Family papers and tradition enabled its maker to trace the Lota branch to John ` Mor ' Galwey (temp. James I), but no further, and there is no indication that, apart from a perusal of the list of Cork mayors, any records of the Tudor period or earlier were consulted. This is not surprising, for there were no published calendars of state papers in the eighteenth century, and the original records were difficult of access. But how then did the compiler come to know the names of the wives of every Galwey without exception in the line of succession from Mayor Geoffrey to John Mor ' ? Did he obtain them from some family pedigree handed down for many generations, or can it be that he drew on his own lively imagination, as he did when relating the legend of Sir John. de Galwey- ? This clearly called for further investigation, so I decided to see how far the earlier descent could be verified. This entailed considerable research, but as I do not wish to burden the reader with over-much detail a few examples of the inaccuracies brought to light will suffice:

1. In the 1763 pedigree John ` Mor ' is shown as son of Patrick. But in the Civil Survey, 1654, the forfeiting proprietor of Lota is described as John Galwey fz Walter. 99

98 Vol. xxx, no. 132 (July-Dec. 1925) pp. 59-74.

The article is unsigned, but I have reason to believe it was contributed by Richard Galwey of Lisduff, Co. Tipp., one of the Lota family.

99 The description ' forfeiting owner, 1641,' though commonly used, is inaccurate, as the lands

of these owners did not change hands until after 1649 (see^ITCHAS vol i (Sent-. 1895) n 427).

21 The Galweys of Munster

2. In the pedigree, Patrick is shown as mayor of Cork, 1582, and son of Richard But the mayor of that year in the list of mayors is described as Patrick Galwey f z Edmond. 100

3. Going further back, the pedigree shows Mayor Geoffrey's wife as Elizabeth de Courcy. But in the inscription on his tomb and in a contemporary deed Margaret Bultingfort is named as his wife.101

4. The pedigree describes the wife of his son Edmond as Mary Levallen, but the arms of Edmond's wife displayed on his tomb are those of the Arthur family,

In view of this and other errors the safest course seemed to be to disregard the 1763 pedigree covering the period in question, and try to construct one from State Papers and other contemporary sources. A study of these enabled me to start the pedigree with Walter Galwey living in the reign of Edward III, and to trace his descendants (who include Geoffrey, Mayor of Cork 1430) for five generations to Patrick Galwey of Kinsale, who granted a messuage in that town to Andrew Roche in 1494. But here we came to a dead end. It is however on record that these early Galweys held lands which were still owned by Galweys in the seventeenth century. This is important, for ` in proving a genealogy it must be remembered that in the descent of an estate in land must be sought the best evidence for a pedigree. 102

My next step therefore was to discover how far back the ancestry of John ` Mar ' could be proved from authentic sources. This on the face of it was a formidable task, but it was lightened by the propensity of the Galweys to entail their estates by elaborate settlements which included among the remainders distant as well as close relatives of the settler. Transcripts of several such instruments dating from the sixteenth century have fortunately been preserved, and a study of these in conjunction with inquisitions, grants of wardship and other contemporary records enabled the Lota line to be deduced from Patrick Galwey temp. Henry VII. His identity with Patrick the grantor of 1494 cannot be conclusively proved, but the weight of evidence goes to show that if they were not the same person the two were closely related. While then the gap between the earlier and later parts of the pedigree has not been wholly closed, I may at least claim to have narrowed it, and this on a basis of fact, not fiction103

GALWEY OF CORK AND KINSALE — MEDIEVAL PERIOD

Walter Galwey who is referred to in a release of 20 June 1480 (infra) was probably the first of the family to settle in Kinsale. He may have migrated from Galway and derived his name therefrom, but there is no proof of this. He had issue :

1. Patrick, his heir.

John ' citizen of Waterford,' who had a pardon for services rendered ' in 1375. 104 He is mentioned in an order from the King to the mayor and bailiffs of

Cork.107 He m. Cecilia — and had issue,

John, described as ‘John son and heir of John Galvy’ in a grant of his wardship and marriage to James Cornewalsh on 8 Feb. 1424. The grant recites that he held lands in Rathfernane and elsewhere in Ireland which belonged to the deceased, who held them in capite by knight's service. 108 He had issue a daughter and heiress,

Elicia, who on 20 June 1480 released all her possessions in Cork, Waterford, Killkenny, Kildare, Dublin and Kerry to her cousin. William Galwey (infra).

The eldest son,

Geoffrey Galwey, who is variously described as citizen a of Cork, of Limerick and of Waterford.

William Galwey of Cork, to whom Elicia Galwey released all her possessions in 1480 as above mentioned. That his succession to her estate was contested appears from a deposition by Jordan, Bishop of Cork ` touching the marriage of John ,fz Geoffrey Galway and Katherine his wife, and the legitimacy of William, their son and heir.120 There is also on record a message from the Mayor of Cork and the Provost of Kinsale with their Councils to the Mayor and Bailiffs of Waterford, testifying that ' William was heir of John Galway, son and heir of Geoffrey and the heir of John fz Walter Galway forrnerly of the city of Waterford.'121 William Galwey is shown as Mayor of Cork in 1453, 1456, 1472, 1477, 1481.122 By his will made on Christmas Day, 1484, he left legacies to several churches and monasteries (including a pipe of wine to the Friars Preachers without the walls) and 20 pounds each to his married daughters (unnamed). Besides them he had issue,

Dundanion Castle and mar. a dau. of Lord Kinsale, but the mutilated state of the

genealogical portion of the Galwey roll precludes any degree of certainty on the point,

The eldest son,

Edward Galwey, had a release from John Galwey fz Geoffrey of all his possessions in Cork and Kinsale in 1542,125 and a lease of the monastery of the Friars Preachers from Henry VIII.126 He was Bailiff of Cork, 1536, and Mayor 1560. He had issue :

John Mor Galwey of Dundanion and or Ballyphegane was Sheriff of Cork 1644. During his year of office he was forced by Inchiquin to proclaim the expulsion of the Irish and Catholic inhabitants. He is shown in the Civil Survey 1654 as proprietor of Lotamore in 1641, but as these lands remained in the family it would seem that they were not forfeited. John Galwey is also shown as the owner of considerable property in Cork city, marked as ‘restored.' This suggests that, like his father, he was brought up as a Protestant, for the Cromwellian confiscations were avowedly on a religion:. basis. He m. Catherine, dau. of William Meade, Mayor of Cork 1600, by whom he had issue,

1. Edward, his heir.

2. Geoffrey, ancestor of the Galweys of Carrick, Malaga and Dungarvan (infra).

The eldest son,

Edward Galwey of Lota was included in a list of 'ancient natives and inhabitants of the citty of Cork’ submitted by James Coppinger to the Commonwealth government in 1652.160 He is shown as Titulado in the 'North Liberties of Cork in the Census of 1659, and was decreed Innocent at the Restoration Settlement. He purchased the lands of Lotabeg (which he had previouslv held on lease) on 11 Feb. 1673, and built thereon a mansion-house which he made the family- seat.161 He was a joint owner of the fisheries formerly held by the, Friars Preachers (Dominicans).162 On 29 May 1675 he was joined with the overseers of the parish church of Rathconey to ‘indifferently applot levy and collect . . . . not exceeding £36' for repairing the church.163 He d. 10 July 1680 and was bur. in the family vault in Rathconey.

The eldest son and heir,

John Galwey of Lota `bred to the law and very eminent in his profession' was admitted to Gray's Inn 16 May 1668 and subsequently called to the Bar in Ireland.166 He was M.P. for Cork City in the Parliament of 1689 and a J.P. for the county and city, and was appointed a Commissioner for applotting tax for Co. Cork under King James II's commission 10 April 1690. For his adherence to the Jacobite cause he was outlawed in 1690 and his estates forfeited. I have already related how his outlawry came to be reversed (17 June 1693), how he received a Royal Pardon (1 Aug. 1695), and how he got in and out of trouble with the Irish House of Commons in 1707 for taking young James Cotter to England. He brought three claims before the Chichester House Commissioners in 1700, of which two were successful.167 His will, dated 7 Feb. 1711, was proved 17 Feb. 1712/13.
