Richard Warren Waller [12]
|
Richard Warren Waller [12] (pictured at right [6])moved
to Ireland during or soon after the Civil War of 1642-1646. He was a puritan,
probably a Quaker, and served as an officer in the
army of Cromwell, probably during the conquest of Ireland in 1649. He
acquired Castle Cully, originally owned by the Ryan (originally O'Mulrian)
family, which was on the western slopes of Keeper Hill in the vicinity
of Newport in southwestern Tipperary County, near Limerick. He
also acquired a substantial amount of land near the Castle and elsewhere,
totalling 1195 acres. Richard Waller was a petitioner
to the Council of Agents of the Army in 1655 on behalf of the regiments
regarding the conditions of the lands that they received in grant from
the government in recompense for service. This was transcribed in the
notes of Dr. William Petty in his notes from the Down Survey of 1655-6.
These petitions clearly show that Lieutenant Richard Warren Waller was
acting on behalf of the English government in Ireland, and that his land
was at least in part granted for his past and present duties [5].
Cully was in ruins as a result of the war and Richard
never lived in the castle; he purchased a house in South Ward near the
present St. John's Square in Limerick City, using funds from his inheritance.
Cully was later rebuilt, using stones from the original castle and renamed
Castle Waller (see Castle Waller). According
to the 1860 Ordinance Survey letters of Co. Tipperary, its original walls
were 38 by 32 and a half feet, six feet four inches thick, and fifty feet
in length [1].
There has been controversy surrounding the identity of
Richard Warren Waller's wife Dorothy. At one time, she was asserted to
be a daughter of Sir William Waller, the major general who was commander-in-chief
of the forces of Parliament in the English Civil War.of 1642. According
to this explanation, Richard Warren (supposedly of the family of Warrens
of the Earls of Surrey), changed his name from Warren to Waller when he
married the illustrious general's daugter. This appeared in a genealogy
published by Burke in the 1858 edition of Landed Gentry. Hardress
De Warrenne Waller [2] disputes this claim. Firstly,
Sir William Waller was prominent hitorical figure whose three marriages
and their offspring are well documented but there is no record of a daughter
Dorothy. Also, a Warren to Waller name change would seem odd inasmuch
as there was no title or inheritance to go with it, unlike the baronetcy
that passed to Jonathan Wathen from Sir William Waller throuh his son
Thomas (Jonathan changed his name to Jonathan Wathen-Waller, see Origins
of Our Family). Furthermore, the name "Warren alias Waller"
appellation dates to the first half of the sixteenth century (see Origins).
In the 1863 (4th.) edition of Burke's Landed Gentry,
Dorothy was described as related to Lord Carlingford and who by her marriage
passed the Tipperary property to Richard Warren Waller. and owner of Lord
Carlingford's Tipperary property. According to Cokayne's Complete Peerage,
Barnham Swift was created Viscount Carlingford in 1627/8 but died without
a male heir, the peerage becoming extinct. His daughter Mary married Robert
Feilding who then "squandered all her property" [3].
The Earldom of Carlingford was later created (in 1661) for the royalist
Theobald Taaffe, Viscount Taaffe of Corren, who commanded the rebel Roman
Catholic Irish army in Connaught and Munster, and would have been unlikely
to marry a daughter to a Protestant Cromwellian officer. In fact, the
identity of Richard Warren Waller's wife Dorothy remains a mystey and
the above theories proposed for her parentage remain unfounded speculations.
Similarly, Elizabeth Redmond, wife of Richard Waller (1a) is of unknown
parentage even though her surname is known. This is another area for further
research but so far we have found no records.
