Radleys of Cork

There is a book available by PETER LAMBORN WILSON, "PIRATES UTOPIAS, MOORISH
CORSAIRS AND EUROPEAN RENEGADOES In which a chapter is devoted to my nine times great
grandfather, Sir Thomas Crooke.

One sentence sums it all up, "RUN BY RESPECTABLE CROOKS LIKE SIR THOMAS CROOKE,
WHO WERE SIMPLY PARASITES ON PIRACY"!!!!!!

SIR THOMAS CROOKE took part in the creation of a Plantation in Munster, Cork. He founded an
English colony in BALTIMORE and set up a fishing industry. In 1631 Barbary pirates plundered
the town and took captive the inhabitants.
See LORD of DEREEN and THE BALTIMORE RAID 1631

One of William's daughters was ALICE, who married HENRY LINDSEY of PEAKE. She was my
3rd great grandmother. Another daughter Catherine married Webb Gillman of Lakeside, and
3rd daughter ANNE, married Patrick RONAYNE. Anne and Patrick's grandson was
CONFEDERATE GENERAL PATRICK RONAYNE CLEBURNE, who fought in American Civil War.

SOURCE. .... Information supplied by Mike Crooke

ALICIA CROOKE LINDSEY, daughter of ALICE and Henry Lindsey married THOMAS RADLEY
ESQ."ROCKVILLE" AGHABULLOGUE.CORK in 1816. They had 4 children, Margaret, who
married 2nd cousin, JOHN LEADER MD, KEALE, MILLSTREET, Alicia and Catherine, unknown,
and my GREAT GRANDFATHER, RICHARD HENRY RADLEY, born 1820. Richard married 1853
ELIZABETH JANE ARMSTRONG and immigrated to Australia. General Cleburne was their 2nd
cousin.

The name CROOKE is derived from Norse name meaning CROW (a favorite bird of the Norse
god ODIN. The crow brought him messages from around the world) Robert Croc came over to
Scotland with Walter, the first High Steward. The place name CROOKSTOWN, south west of
Glasgow indicates a dwelling of Crook or Croc family (source…The surnames of Scotland Black
1946).

BY HOOK OR BY CROOKE…………….. In1605, an Englishman, Thomas Crooke purchased a lease
from Sir Fineen O'Driscoll at Baltimore. At his own expense, he brought out a whole town of
English settlers, and established a fishing industry, with the intention of trading with pirates.

In 1608 he was called before Privy Council in London and charged with dealing with pirates. He
was acquitted.

Baltimore was the port most frequented by buccaneers, and the colony flourished from illicit
trade. King James I occasionally sent out a man of war, but the pirates managed to elude them,
in swift Dutch built ships. At one time the Dutch asked permission from the Crown to search for
miscreants, but Thomas Crooke told them to be off.

Thomas Crooke became a Baronet in 1624. His wealth and prosperity were entirely due to his
enterprise and lack of scruples, but then, were not a lot of titles gained that way? His son, Sir
Samuel, married Sir George Shurley's daughter. This probably accounted for the demise in
free-booting as Sir George was the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland.

Sir Thomas Crooke died in 1624 and the lease on Baltimore fell into the hands of Sir Walter
Coppinger.

On14/4/1629 a deed of defeasance was signed by Sir Fineen and Sir Walter, so that English
settlers remained in possession of their leasehold property.

Sir Walter got possession of Fort Dun Na Sead (means fort of jewels)
Ref. Barnaby, 1969 and P.L.Wilson)

PATRICK RONAYNE CLEBURNE
CONFEDERATE ARMY
AMERICAN CIVIL WAR

Much has been written about his military prowess. He was trained by the British Army and after
4 years in the 41st regiment of Foot, he left and went to America in 1849. When Civil War broke
out he joined the Confederate army.

President of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davies, called Patrick, the "STONEWALL OF THE
WEST" .

He was born 17/3/1828 in CORK, Ireland and died at the battle of FRANKLIN, in TENNESSEE,
30/11/1864.

CORK, IRELAND…….. It was said that the Cleburne's could ride in safety, from one end of
Ireland to the other, and were not considered Cromwellian adventurers (even though they were
Anglo/Irish) by the native population.

MARYANNE RONAYNE, his mother, was cousin to the RADLEYS. ALICE CROOKE LINDSEY and
ANN CROOK RONAYNE were sisters, and were respectively, my 3x great grandmother and my
4x great aunt.

THOMAS RADLEY Esq. of Rockville's grandson LT.COL.JOHN LEADER of KEALE wrote an
interesting letter to a connected LEADER family in USA (1919).

(See link to CONNORS FAMILY HISTORY for full text). In it he mentions his cousin PATRICK
CLEBURNE.

Many tributes have been given to Patrick, one of the nicest is the following ………….

"My ggg uncle Major William Jere Crook was a commander of the 13th Ten Infantry, CSA, and
was in the Army of Tennessee with Gen.Cleburne. He was very well thought of, and one of
Major Crook's soldiers, who was married to his sister Elizabeth Crook (Philemon Barry Farrow)
named a son Cleburne Farrow, (Clay), and still has descendents. One of them is Clay (Cleburne)
Mollman, so they are still paying homage to him" ……. Clay Crook.

Today, PATRICK Cleburne's memory is evergreen in the Southern states of America, 2nd only
to ROBERT E LEE.

MORE INFORMATION ON THOMAS CROOKE from ATHENAE CANTABRIGIENSES…………….

THOMAS CROOKE, matriculated as a sizar of Trinity College in May 1560, was elected a
scholar of that house in 1562, proceeded B.A 1562/3 and was subsequently elected a fellow.

He commenced M.A in 1566, proceeded B.D 1573 and was rector of Great Waldingfield in
Suffolk and preacher at GRAYS INN In 1578 he was created D.D being the a member of
Pembroke Hall.

In 1582 he was named a person fit to confer with papists and in or about 1583 he subscribed
the Latin letter to THOMAS CARTWRIGHT, soliciting the publication of his confutation of the
Rhemist's translation of the New Testament.

He was father of Samuel, hereafter to be noticed, who was born at Great Waldingfield
17/1/1574 or 5.

Dr THOMAS CROOKE is an author of ….1. a latin letter to JOHN FOX, dated Waldingfield

REVEREND SAMUEL CROOKE of WRINGTON, SOMERSET.

Sir THOMAS CROOKE of Baltimore Ireland had a brother, SAMUEL, Rector of WRINGTON.

SAMUEL CROOKE's surviving sermons and books are mainly about Christian morality. He dealt
only with fundamental questions and is the only Somerset Clergyman to use the Doctrine of
Covenant. He considered the Last Supper as solely a memorial.

He was a daily orator and clearness and conciseness of its content, were matched by his
popularity amongst Puritans. Crooke was not a separatist, but was mistrustful of the Book of
Common Prayer.

The following information was given by EILEEN RONAYNE McCARTHY to her Brother in law
BRIAN McCARTHY, who forwarded it on to me.

It covers the lineage of RONAYNEs and CLEBURNEs.

EILEEN HANNAH RONAYNE, born March 30 1923, married Ed Winston McCARTHY approx 1940s.

Her Great Great Great Grandfather was PATRICK RONAYNE (ANNBROOK) who married 1st Mary
Byrne in 1786, and 2nd ANNE CROOKE in 1788. ANN CROOKE was my 3 x great grandmother's
(Alice Crooke Lindsey) sister. Making Anne, my 3 x great aunt(?) and Patrick, my 3 x gt uncle.

Their daughter MARY ANNE RONAYNE married JOSEPH CLEBURNE. One of their children was
GENERAL PATRICK RONAYNE CLEBURNE, Confederate Army, during the American Civil War,
1860/65. He was second cousin to RADLEYs.

EXTRACT FROM "HARMANS OF CORK" by Rosemary FFOLLIOTT and S.T.S HARMAN……

JOSHUA HARMAN, an "eminent clothier" had a son, JOSHUA, who married MARY HERON,
daughter of Robert Heron, Wine Cooper 1771.

In 1808 SAMUEL HARMAN married Mary, eldest daughter of JULIUS BESNARD.and Jane Heron (a
relative of Mary Heron?)

JULIUS BESNARD's and JANE HERON's great grandson was WILLIAM CROOKE RONAYNE
HARMAN born 1869. Julius was my 4 x great grandfather.

We also share another Great grandfather WILLIAM CROOKE of DEREEN.

FITZGERALD GENEALOGY

KILKEA CASTLE, located 5 km. n/w of Castledermot, was the stronghold of FITZGERALDS. Built
c.1180. The castle is closely associated with GERALD, 11th Earl, known as “WIZARD EARL”
because he studied alchemy. He was half brother to “Silken Thomas” 10th Earl, who was
executed at Tyburn in 1537.

GERALD died in 1585 and tradition has it that he returns every seventh year, mounted on a
white, silver shod horse and rides around the castle.

A monkey is the crest of the Fitzgerald family. John Fitzthomas Fitzgerald, 1st earl who,
because, as a child in 1200s, was saved from fire by the family’s pet monkey.

CROOKE GENEALOGY SOURCE “HISTORY OF SOMERSET”

At Wrington, the rector, SAMUEL CROOKE, was a very strong Puritan and his preaching resulted in
a very pious neighbourhood. Crooke and Conant of Limington were chosen as representatives of
Somerset by the Assembly of Divines regarding the reformed Church.. The victorious Royalist
party in 1643 put an end to Puritan party in Somerset. In 1643 Crooke of Wrington was tyrannized
by soldiers and thugs,in his own house for not complying with their policies. Crooke was obliged
to subscribe to a declaration of 8 articles asserting resistance to King was unlawful and that he
was opposed to defacing churches and images and condemning the Book of Common Prayer and
he pledged to preach a sermon both at Wells and Wrington upholding these views. 1647 Petition
(Bath and Wrington) 1649 Dec 25 Crooke of Wrington died.

General Robert.E.Lee suggested that Blacks should be put in uniform to fight in the depleted
ranks of the Confederate Army. This was not greeted with much approval by the Plantation
owners, who had some leverage in the Confederate Congress.

Patrick Ronayne Cleburne was Irish born, but lived in Arkansas. He advocated the use of Negro
soldiers. .

At Franklin, Tennessee , two horses were shot from under him. He charged on foot and received
a fatal shot 50 yards from eneny lines Unfortunately, Patrick did not understand the Southern
institution of Slavery, never having owned slaves, nor the Plantation owners opposition to Negro
forces. The proposal was dropped.
