Cork, Olivia Charlotte, 2nd da. of William Henry Hare (Hedges White), 3rd Earl of Bantry [L], by Jane, da. of Charles John Herbert, of Muckross Abbey, co. Kerry. She was ^. 27 Aug. 1850. (") A Barony of Cromwell, supposed to have been cr. by writ, 28 Apr. 1539, was considered to have devolved on Elizabeth, only da. of the last Earl of Ardglass [I.], and this Lady appeared as " Baroness Cromwell " at the funeral of Queen Mary, and at the coronation of Queen Anne. It appears, however, that there was no sitting in Pari, under the writ of 1539, which, of itself, would be fatal to such writ having cr. a Barony in fee. In the same writ his father is mm., also as Lord Cromwell, though, being Vicar Gen., he is placed (as such ?) at the head of the list. However five months after the death of his father, the Earl of Essex, (who had been so cr. in Apr., but who was attainted, and beheaded July 1540) the said Gregory Cromwell was cr. by patent, 1 8 Dec. 1 540, Baron Cromwell " to him and the heirs male of his body. " The Barony thus cr. by the patent of 1 540, appears to have been the only Barony of Cromwell vested in the Earls of Ardglass [I.]. (*") So cr. in 1867, in recognition of his munificent restoration of the Cathedral of St. Patrick, Dublin, at his own sole expense. He was head of the well known firm of " Arthur Guinness and Co, " Dublin, Brewers.
