!Notes: 1st Viscount Guillamore. Standish O'Grady, 1st Viscount Guillamore
!1766-1840, was the eldest son of Darby O'Grady of Mount Prospect, Limerick, and of Mary, daughter of James Smyth of the same county. He was born on 20 Jan. 1766, and, entering Trinity College, Dublin, graduated B.A. in 1784. He was called to the bar, and went the Munster circuit. He was remarkable for wit as well as learning, and attained considerable practice. On 28 May 1803, after the murder of Lord Kilwarden, he became attorney-general, and was one of the prosecuting counsel at the trial of Robert Emmet. In 1805 he was made lord chief baron, in succession to Yelverton, lord Avonmore. He was a sound judge, and Chief Baron Pigot, of the Irish exchequer, expressed the opinion: ‘O'Grady was the ablest man whose mind I ever saw at work.’ His witticisms on and off the bench were long remembered [D. O. Madden, Ireland and its Rulers, i. 126]. O'Grady was one of the first to suspect the duplicity of Leonard McNally. On his retirement from the bench in 1831, he was created Viscount Guillamore of Cahir Guillamore and Baron O'Grady of Rockbarton, co. Limerick, in the peerage of Ireland. He was a handsome man , of a fine presence, and over six feet in stature. He died in Dublin on 20 April 1840. In 1790 he married Katharine [d. 1853], second daughter of John Thomas Waller of Castletown, co. Limerick, by whom he had several children , the 7th son being Thomas O'Grady
VISCOUNT GUILLAMORE [STANDISH O'GRADY] of Cahir Guillamore, co. Limerick, and Baron O'Grady, of Rockbarton
LINEAGE The family of O'Grady claims a common descent with that of O'Brien, from the ancient monarchs of Ireland. In the interval between 1276 and 1310, the chieftainship of the clan was vested in DONALD O'GRADY, who fell in battle 1309, leaving issue HUGH O'GRADY, who acquired by marriage with the dau. and heir of O'Kerwick, Chief of Anlan Cliah, the lands of Kilballyowen 1309, which have since remained the principle residence of his descendants.

Tom's Note: I'm not sure about this following lineage- Hugh A. O'Grady's book about his father, "Standish James O'Grady, The Man and The Writer", is contradictory. He says that Standish James's grandfather was James but also said that Standish's father, Thomas was "brother of the General [Standish] and the Admiral [Hayes]". But according to Burkes, this Thomas was married to Helen Dring. Clive [Tom] O'Grady and Linden O'Grady believe they way I've presented this is correct. * Thomas , rector of Casletown Berehaven , m.
