Martin of Galway

Submitted by edpope on

Martin of Galway 13.1.1802 at Wycombe's with Curran. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1802 / 10.7.1810 Martin calls

Pretty clearly Richard Martin Hist of Parl 1754-1834, though no reason to think he was the caller of 1810 (see also Martin). On my way to identifying him I came across Nicholas Martin of Ross, Galway died 1811 (Burke's Irish Families) who may have been the Nicholas Martin Esq who stood in the pillory opposite the Royal Exchange Dublin, pursuant to his sentence (Morning Post 20.10.1803) which must have been in connection with the 1803 rebellion, but I could reach no Dublin papers of that date to enquire further. It may have been a case of relative leniency being shown to landed rebels
