Notes

[1] Echlin: For the Arms and pedigree of this family, see the Genealogical Memoirs of the Echlin Family, by Rev. John Robert Echlin, M.A., and J.P. for the co. Down, who (in 1886) kindly presented us with a copy of that very interesting work. As an instance of the vicissitudes of Irish families it may be here mentioned that the seventh Baronet of this family, Sir Thomas Echlin, is now (1886) a subaltern in the Royal Irish Constabulary.
