The first mention of Radley/Leader connection was about 1600. GEORGE CHINNERY, who came to Ireland from England, married ALICE, widow of JOHN LEADER. Their daughter MARVELLA CHINNERY married THOMAS RADLEY of KNOCKRAUR. The name Marvella was favored by the Radleys and handed down through generations. HENRY LEADER married MARGARET RADLEY, 1689. She was daughter of THOMAS RADLEY and MARVELLA CHINNERY. Their son RICHARD LEADER of OLDCASTLE married MARY RADLEY, daughter of RICHARD RADLEY, KNOCKRAUR. JOHN LEADER of KEALE married 1690 JANE RADLEY, daughter of THOMAS RADLEY. Their son JOHN married 1734 lst, cousin Marvella, daughter of HENRY LEADER of MT.LEADER. 2ndly in 1750 he married JANE, daughter of THOMAS RADLEY and MARGARET PURDON, daughter of John Purdon of Dysert, CORK In 1816 THOMAS RADLEY of "ROCKVILLE" married ALICIA LINDSEY, daughter of Henry Lindsey of Mishel/Peake. They had 4 children, Margaret, Alicia, RICHARD HENRY, and Catherine. JOHN LEADER of Keale MD. Married (second cousin) Margaret Radley in 1836. Nothing is known about 2 girls. RICHARD HENRY RADLEY married Elizabeth Jane ARMSTRONG in 1853 and settled in Ballan, Victoria, Australia. As money from his bankrupt estates dwindled, life became very hard for the family. In 1870 RICHARD HENRY died, along with 3 of their children in an epidemic of diphtheria. Elizabeth was about to give birth to 11th child. Elizabeth and 4 remaining children left Ballan for parts unknown. 30 years later her son JULIUS FRANCES appeared in Brisbane QLD. And married Maryanne O"REILLY (1900) the beginning of the present family. Most of Radleys and Leaders were Church of Ireland, but there were some catholics. One such, was JOHN HALL LEADER, born Millstreet, 1828 and emigrated to U.S.A. and lived in Galena, Illinois. until late1890s... Some of the large elegant houses in the Parish of Aghabullogue were AHAVRIN HOUSE of Captain T.E.CROOKE KILBEREHERT of R.B.CROOKE Esq………. and “ ROCKVILLE” OF THOMAS RADLEY Esq. PHILIP HAWES CROSS of SHANDY HALL See Connors Family History for more information. |
LINDSEY HENRY LINDSEY of PEAKE and MONALLIG married ALICE CROOKE daughter of WILLIAM CROOKE of DEREEN, and sister of Anne Crooke RONAYNE. They had quite a few children, one of whom was my Great great grandmother ALICIA CROOKE LINDSEY RADLEY, born 1796 approx. Henry Lindsey's father was THOMAS LINDSEY of MACROOM later of MONALLIG born 1726 married MARY BROWNE OF COOLCOWER CORK and had 5 other children besides Henry. Henry Lindsey married 2ndly Elizabeth Davies but there was no issue. The name LINDSEY is also a " RIDING FAMILY "or REIVER name, and it is likely they came from FERMANAGH, where most of the Scots Planters settled. |

In 1923 BARRY COOPER (not the one in this will) wrote a letter to FRANCIS COOPER (also not the one in the will) His nephew and son of his brother JOHN S. COOPER, which he states “I sent you a copy of a will that your father (WE BELIEVE THIS IS JOHN COOPER, ANNE’S NEPHEW) was heir to a legacy. You know your father was a IRISH landlord and had 25 to 30 tenants but in 1844 the great Irish famine came and they would not pay any rent. It was nothing but fighting. He had to mortgage the estate to make a living for his big family of 9 children. Kept on for several years so finally they sold him out and we all scattered. Our Grandfather owned a whole township and out of these lands our Aunt Anne owned an interest and left part to your father. I was born 9 mths then when that will was made. I had this will allowed in 1862 when I was in Europe. I stayed with my uncle THOMAS STANLEY of BANDON, Ireland The estates were about 20 miles from theirs but I had no way to collect the legacy. It would amount to considerable now but those things are all held up in New Ireland. The lands were given to our family by the English government when they conquered Ireland. Our forefathers were officers in the invading army” HISTORY of DEEDS..”From Thomas Williams to JAMES BARRY 28 Feb1738 a free farm grant given him by James I was king and after him Q.Elizabeth. Lands called Withirrahberg and Witherramore who deeded the lands to EPENITUS FITZGIBBONS and JOHN BARRY and ***** RICHARD HENRY RADLEY****** . This BARRY was my father’s grand uncle and gave him his estate. FITZGIBBONS sold his place in 1848. My father was sold out for money he borrowed on place from Lawyer AHERN, 45,000 pounds. He died in 1844. The widow sold your grandfather out in 1847. All the older children got their Uncle Clarke who owned an interest in 2 lumber sailing schooners. One ship called the Mary Anne. I came in his schooner called “TRY AGAIN” with others of his family to America. Your father was between 15 and 16 yrs old and went to New York where he learned his trade as blacksmith. I was abt five yrs old when father was sold out. All the balance of the children went to Quebec where Uncle’s influence got them places. I went back to my Uncle Tom Stanley in Bandon where I learned my trade. This is how I got all my information abt family. I have an old document dated 1166. The Barry families history until he became Lord Barrymore. My mother’s sister md JOHN BARRY a lineal descendent of this family.

NOTES ON CHINNERY. Source Michael Leader F.I.G.R.S. The father of MARVELLA CHINNERY, GEORGE, is said to have married the widow of the father of the two LEADER brothers who married the two RADLEY sisters. According to Leader tradition, the mother of the two men came out to Ireland from England after they had settled down in County Cork. This is possible- from the dates- but I feel IMPROBABLE. In any case, an abstract from an Irish Chancery Court Lawsuit, sent to me by Mr Weiply, puts all the accepted Irish origins of the Leaders back into the melting pot. The two brothers JOHN and HENRY have always been taken to have been the first Leaders in County Cork. The suit in question shows that a John Leader held 66 acres of land near Kinsale by lease as from 1638, dying intestate in 1650 and his son, another John Leader dying, also intestate 1668, leaving a widow Joan who was still alive in 1693. LEADERs are on list of CROMWELLIAN ADVENTURERS who were granted land in County Cork. I think some people mix them up with Richard Leader, Iron Works Manager, U.S.A.

Woodley family in connection with LINDSAY, RADLEY, JERVOIS/HODDER Source Researcher Joan Platt - descendent. The HODDER family originated in Dorset, a few miles from Longbredy, Weymouth and Melcombe Regis was a big port long ago and merchants used it to travel the world. Some of the HODDERs were merchants. FRANCIS WOODLEY married ELIZABETH HODDER at CARRIGALINE in 1760. They had one son FRANCIS, baptised 1/1/1762, who inherited LEADES HOUSE. Elizabeth died 11th JULY 1766 and FRANCIS Senior remarried. His second wife was Elizabeth NORRIS, who had son ANTHONY, from whom Joan Platt is descended. The WOODLEYS came from Devon and were an army family. RALPH WOODLEY was LORD OF MANOR OF BUCKLAND on the Moor on DARTMOOR in DEVON in 16th century. His grandson, also RALPH, arrived in Ireland about 1818 and is mentioned in the LISMORE PAPERS as buying land in BANDON from Earl Cork. ANTHONY's son FRANCIS, married FRANCES JERVOIS, daughter of WILLIAM in1831. Frances had arrived in Wales and married ANNE ELIZ JENKINS in HAVERFORDWEST. Joan Platt is descended from this marriage. Frances father WILLIAM JERVOIS could have been one of SAMUEL JERVOIS of BRADE illegitimate sons. If so WILLIAM was my 3xtimes great grandmother's brother (ELIZABETH JERVOIS, dtr of SAMUEL JERVOIS married to JOHN MURPHY ESQ of NEWTOWN). RADLEY/LINDSAY/JERVOIS/MURPHY/HODDER are related. |
