Rev. Thomas Kelly of Kellyville Athy, seated in his study, holding a book, by Maria Spilsbury Taylor. Courtesy of Adams auction 16 Oct 2018. Born in 1769 Thomas Kelly was the only son of Judge Thomas Kelly of Kellyville. Having initially intended to follow his father into the law he changed his mind taking holy orders in 1792. Ordained into the Church of England he returned to Ireland where he proved a popular evangelical preacher but soon fell out with Archbishop Fowler of Dublin who forbade him to preach in any church in the Dublin archdiocese. Kelly, in turn, established the Kellyites a fringe Anglican group much like the Plymouth Brethern or the Walkerites. Already a man of independent means, Kelly made an advantageous marriage to Ms Tighe of Rosanna which enabled him to establish meeting houses in Dublin, Athy, Portarlington, Wexford and Waterford. It is presumably through his wife that Rev. Kelly would have encountered Maria Spilsbury Taylor. She executed numerous commissions for the Tighes including portraits of various family members both at their home, Rosanna, in Co. Wicklow and their townhouse overlooking St Stephens Green in Dublin.

John King (1638-1676) 1st Baron Kingston married Catherine Fenton who gave birth to their heir, the 2nd Baron Kingston (1657–1693), who died unmarried, so the title passed to John (d. 1727/8) 3rd Baron Kingston.

John (d. 1727/8) 3rd Baron Kingston married Margaret O’Cahan.

The surviving daughter Margaret, daughter of Elizabeth Meade (Clanwilliam), inherited the vast Mitchellstown Estate of the White Knights. She married Richard Fitzgerald of Mount Ophally, and their only daughter Caroline married, as arranged, the 2nd Earl of Kingston thus uniting the two branches of the King family. Life at Mitchellstown was recorded by two famous employees of the Kings, Arthur Young the agriculturalist and Mary Wollstonecraft who probably sketched out the basis of Vindication of the Rights of Women whilst governess to the King children. It was not without excitement, in 1799 Lord Kingston shot dead Colonel Fitzgerald, his wife’s illegitimate half-brother in the hotel in Mitchellstown for abducting his 17 year old daughter Mary Elizabeth and his eldest daughter Margaret having married the 2nd Earl of Mount Cashell left him to befriend Shelley in Italy and is The Lady in ‘The Sensitive Plant’.

Robert King (d. 1707) 1st Baronet King, of Boyle Abbey, Co. Roscommon married Frances Gore, granddaughter of Paul Gore, 1st Baronet Gore, of Magherabegg, Co. Donegal.

Mayo, and Frances (1726-1812) married Hans Widman Wood of Rossmead, County Westmeath. It’s funny looking at their portraits by Robert Hunter – he seems to have used the same picture for each sister except for Frances, with tiny adjustments to the dress and pose!

Robert King, created Baron Kingsborough, died 1755, painting by Robert Hunter, courtesy Adam’s auction 11th Oct 2016. The sales catalogue tells us what the museum does not: Robert King 1724-1755 M.P. for Boyle succeeding Richard Wingfield, succeeded as 4th baronet in 1740 and was made Baron Kingsborough at the age of 23 in 1747, having fought a notorious duel with Captain Johnston. He borrowed the large sum of £40,000, became Grand Master of the Freemasons, set the family up in Henrietta Street and lived with a mistress, Mrs. Jones. He died unmarried and his will was bitterly contested by his surviving brothers as far as the House of Lords in London, Edward claimed that Kingsborough was subjected to undue influence by Mrs. Jones, “a common prostitute,” and that the will was witnessed by a drunken porter and a Swiss servant, all such being scoundrels.
