THE BAGOT LINEAGE IN IRELAND The Original Lineage Apparently

This section will have to be
studied very carefully to determine the line of decent. We begin the generation
with Ralph Bagot as number 1:1 (the first generation and first son), son
of the English ancestor John Bagot, Irish immigrant. The number left of
the colon shows the generation. The number right of the colon designates
the position of that child in that particular family, beginning with the
eldest. If you wish to find the parents of a person, trace it upwards to
the next lowest number. If you see a person labeled as 5:1(+), look for
the 4:1(+) above it. If you see a person with a number 4:3, it means that
he is the fourth generation from Ralph Bagot (who is 1:1) and the third
child in that particular family. Remember, if he or she is 4:3, as the
example, go back to the first 3 left of the colon above it. That will be
his or her father and mother.
The Irish lineage was apparently
recorded by E. C. Bagot, A.U.S. 416645, R.A.A.F., from his own records
and from records which were held at Blithfield in County Stafford in England–“all
of which,” he said, “were seen on 12 May 1643.”
His records indicate that the ancestors
of this family were amongst the Norman Barons who fought at the Battle
of Hastings in A.D. 1066, and are derived of the same lineage as the Noble
House of Bagot seated in Staffordshire since the days of William the Conqueror.
Their names are found inscribed in records of Norman chivalry. Small portions
of his record have been modified by this editor. It is believed that the
Irish families of Bagot/Baggot/Baggett are descended from the family at
Staffordshire, England, as shown below.
English Ancestor: John
Bagot of Bagot's Bromley, Staffordshire, Companion-In-Arms of Richard de
Clare (Strongbow) in 1172. His son and heir was: Son of Irish Immigrant::
1:1 Ralph Bagot, born 1160, had various suits with Sir Nicholas de Vernum
for the Rath at Drogheda and Dublin from 1227 to 1228. His heir and successor
was: 2:1 Lord Robert Bagod,
born ca. 1213, having obtained from Sir Nicholas de Hynteburg in 1280 the
Manor of the Rath near Dublin (known to this day as Bagot
Rath or Bagod Rath), with the water course of the Dodder and Common
of the woods of Maynooth, and also from Nicholas de Pierrepont the lands
of Banevilstone and Brownstone in the Barony of Aney, County
Limerick
(ever since called Bagotstown), built the castles thereon and afterwards
the scenes of many a fierce and sanguinary conflict, which were sacked
and dismantled by Cromwell during the civil war?and of which naught remains
now but the ruins and the long-enduring memorial of the Name. Lord Robert founded the
Carmelite Monastery on Whitefriar Street, Dublin in 1274, and the same
year was appointed by patent, Lord Chief Justiciary of Ireland by King
Edward I. He died in 1298; his son and heir succeeded him: 3:1 Sir Robert Bagot of
Bagotrath and Bagotstown Castles, born ca. 1240, was Chief Justice of King's
Bench from 1283 until 1327. He was directed by king's letters to prevent
a duel between William de Vesci and John de Burgh in 1294. Robert granted
6 February 1298, to the Prior and Monastery of All Saints, 40 acres of
the lands of Bagotrath, and by Royal license he conveyed to his eldest
son, William, the Manor of Dundrum, by the king to hold in Capite. He was
summoned by king's letter, 1302, as a Magnate of Ireland with Richard de
Burghe, Earl of Ulster, to aid King Edward I in his Scotch wars, and returned
to Ireland in 1303 to suppress hostilities between Richard le Clare and
Donat O'Brian, Prince of Thomond. Sir Robert was also appointed in 1318
to the Chrievalty of Limerick County on the death of Walter Mansel; died
in 1330, left by avicia his widow, a son and heir: 4:1 William Bagot of Bagotrath
and Bagotstown Castles, who was summoned by king's letter in 1335 as a Magnate of Ireland with James
Butler, Earl of Ormonde, to aid King Edward III in his Scotch wars. (From
him the Bagotrath estates passed away to the FitzWilliam family, from whom
they descended to the late Sidney Herbert, Lord of Lea, and now forms part
of the princely possessions of the Earl of Pembroke.) He died 1344, leaving
a son and heir: 5:1 William FitzWilliam
Bagot of Bagotstown Castle, who with Henry Bagot, was appointed by Royal
Commissioners for levying subsidies in the County of Louth to repel the
invasion of the O'Niell in 1399. He died ca. 1403 and was succeeded by: 6:1 Richard Bagot, who
in 1404 obtained license from King Henry IV to travel for three years to
complete his studies in England. His name appears on the Ancient Rolls
of Chancery as quote: “Nobillis” and “Judge” in 1417, and as “Royal Commissioner”
and “Guardian of the Peace” for Louth from 1420 to 1429. He died ca. 1475.
(The name of his son is unknown.) His grandson succeeded: 8:1 Patrick Bagot of Bagotstown
Castle, born 1495, married Maria, daughter of Edmond [O'Dwyer], Esq. of
Kilamonagh Castle, County of Limerick, and died ca. 1575, leaving his heir
and two other sons: 9:1 Edmond Bagot of Bagotstown
Castle, born ca. 1540 (his heir), who succeeded to the estates ante 1595,
as stated in the patent of George Sherlock by Queen Elizabeth I. 9:2 John Bagot (second
son of Patrick); 9:3 Maurice Bagot, administrator of his brother's will,
apparently Edmond 9:1. To Edmond 9;1 Bagotstown
Castle and estates, with all lands in the Parish of Athlecaugh and Dromyncleryn,
Co. Limerick, were confirmed by patent by King James I, and resettled in
May of 1625. Edmond (son of Patrick) married Honora, daughter of William
[Bourke], second son of John Brittas (fourth son of Lord Castle Connell,
a lineal descendant of Bernard de Burgh, the Red Earl of Ulster), by whom
he had three sons; Edmond 9:1 died in March, 1630, and was buried in the
Tomb of the Ancestors at Knockney, Co. Limerick, and the estates descended
to his grandson (Edmond 11:1). 10:1 Edmond Bagot, 9:1's
heir, died 1627, left six sons, all of whom died unmarried before 1662,
as stated in the decree of 1666. 11:1 Edmond Bagot (son
of Edmond 10:1) of Bagotstown, died without issue October, 1630, was succeeded
by his next brother: 11:2 Maurice Bagot of
Bagotstown Castle, Sheriff of Limerick County in 1643, suffered severity
for his allegiance to the Stuart dynasty. He was especially exempted from
pardon and mercy by Ireton at the Siege of Limerick in 1651 and deprived
of his castle and estates by Oliver Cromwell in 1654. He and his brother
died without issue ante 1665. There were four other sons who died without
heirs. Their uncle succeeded: 10:2 John Bagot (son of
the [first Edmond]) (who represented Charleville at the Assembly of the
Confederate Catholics held in Kilkenny, 1647, signed the Treaty of Limerick,
1651, and the National Remonstrance to the King, 1661), was restored to
Bagotstown by decree of King Charles II, 29 July 1663. He married a daughter
of Sir Edward [Fitton] of Cheshire, and then was Lord President of Connacht,
and died in 1672. His sons were William 11:1; son John 11:2, who had a
son John 12:1; son James 11:3 of Rathjordon, who had a son John 12:1, who
had two sons, John 13:1 and Ignatuis 13:2. John 10:2 was succeeded by his
second son: 11:2 John Bagot of Bagotstown
Castle, who with his nephew, John 12:1, eldest son of James Bagot of Rathjordan,
Co. Limerick, represented Charleville and Doneraile in the Irish Parliament,
1689. They and other members of the family were conspicuous for their loyalty
and devotion to the House of Stuart, and fought and fell “pro aris et focis.”
Bagotstown
Castle (where descendants of Lord Robert Bagot has resided for more
than 400 years), with the estates of nine other Bagots, were confiscated
by Inquisitions at Carlow and Limerick in 1690-93. Two Bagot Colonels fell
with Saint Ruth at Aughrim. Mark (then First Sergeant-at-Arms, D.L. and
Member of Parliament for Carlow) was executed in Dublin and John was executed
in Limerick. A portion of the family accompanied King James II to France
and remained in exile. John and Ignatius became distinguished general officers
in the French and Spanish armies respectively, but died without issue;
John at Paris, 1773 & Ignatius at Madrid, 1778. John 11:2 having o.b.d.
