Notes

[1] Canning: It is believed that George Canning, father of the great George Canning, was of this family. Of him WEBB says in his Compendium of Irish Biography: Canning, George, an author, an Irishman, appears to have taken his degree of B.A. at the University of Dublin in 1754. His father, a gentleman of property in the north of Ireland, disinherited him for marrying, in 1768, Miss Costello, a dowerless beauty. George Canning was the author of some poems, and of a translation of Anti-Lucretius. He died in the Temple, London, 11th April, 1771, one year after the birth of his son, the great George Canning."
