Arms and Crest of Pollock.

 

THE Arms of Pollock are “Azure, three fleurs-de-lis”. These are the arms set side by side with the arms of Hartigan in an armorial plate that belonged to Dr. Hartigan and entitled “The Ensigns of the Names of Hartigan and Pollock.”

These are also the arms borne by the famous family of the English Pollocks, who descend from David Pollock, the saddler to George III (vide Peerage and Baronetage).

Major A. W. A. Pollock, the senior representative of the Pollocks of Newry, however is of Opinion that these are the arms of Montgomery of Lainshaw. Major Pollock writes:

“The grandmother of John Pollock (“Lieut. of foote doing duty in Ireland”), from whom we believe ourselves to be descended, was Maud Montgomery of Lainshaw. We have a family tradition that the original emigrant brought with him a silver cup upon which these aims were engraved. The explanation, to case this tradition is true, is simple, the Arms on the cup, were mistaken for the family arms, that some trifle in the way of family plate should be given to a young man on leaving home for the purpose of colonization is very possible and natural. The tradition in question was repeated to the writer by Major Samuel Pollock, who died in 1865, aged 80 years.”

The crest of Pollock is “a Boar passant quarterly or and vert, pierced through sinister shoulder with an arrow proper.” With regard to the Pollock crest, Major Pollock writes

‘‘on a monument to John Pollock (who married Elizabeth Carlile) in Newry Church, the arrow and motto have been omitted, the Boar moreover is not quartered, but here I believe the monument is probably correct, for I imagine the quartering of the Boar is merely an innovation of recent years. I have failed to find a quartered Boar on either seals or plate of any reasonable age.”

The Family of Pollock of Newry.

Beneath repose the remains of Mary, relict of Isaac Cory, senior, Esq., of Newry, and eldest daughter of John Pollock, Esq., of the same place. On the 9th of May. 1831, she followed to the grave her lamented daughter, Anna Westenra. A monument to her revered memory has been erected in the Parish Church by her sorrowing children.’

The following is the monument alluded to :—

“Her children shall rise up and call her blessed”

“Sacred to the memory of Mary, relict of the late Isaac Corry, senior, Esq., of Newry, and eldest daughter of the late John Pollock, Esq., of the same place.

THE DESCENDANTS OF ELIZABETH ANNE POLLOCK.

Elizabeth Anne Pollock (2nd daughter of John Pollock and Elizabeth Carlile his wife) married August 8th, 1787, in Drogheda Parish Church, William Hartigan, of King’s Street, Stephen’s Green, Dublin. The first member of the family of Hartigan of Dublin was Edward Hartigan, junior He lived in Dame Street, Dublin, was a surgeon of some repute and was elected (Honoris Causâ) in 1749, a member of the Guild of Apothe­caries or St. Luke, and thus obtained the freedom of the City of Dublin. Edward Hartigan was married twice, by his first wife who died in Dame Street. Dublin, April 10th, 1747, he had a daughter Elizabeth, who married Richard Chambers, by his second wife Anne Heron of Leixlip, who died in Dame Street, May 4th, ?????????

I.                 ??????????????????????????

II.                Mary Hartigan, who married Reverend Brinsley Nixon of Kilmainham, near Dublin, and was great grand­mother of the present Earl of Dunraven. Surgeom Edward Hartigan died in Dame Street April, 1767. From the list of Masters and Wardens of City Guilds, in Wilson’s Dublin Directory we find in 1766, “Guild of St. Luke or Apothcaries Warden —Edward Hartigan, junior, of Dame Street.” From Saunders’ Newsletter we have under the headings “Deaths,” “April 10th, 1747, wife of Edward Hartigan, in Dame Street (in childbed),” and later “ May 4th, 1756, wife of Edward Hartigan in Dame Street,” “Greatly loved and respected for her many amiable qualities whilst living and her death as sincerely lamented by all her acquaintances.” And from the same paper we find under “Deaths” from April 6th to x0th, 1767, Edward Hartigan in Dame street. I give here the will of Surgeon. Edward Hartigan:

 

WILL OF EDWARD HARTIGAN

“I leave and bequeath to my daughter, Elizabeth Chambers, one silver button coat, one silver sugar dish, and three silver table spoons, and I bequeath all the rest and residue of my estate and effects of what nature so ever the same be unto my son William and my daughter Mary, to be equally divided between them, share and share alike and in case of the death of either before marriage or the age of x8, I leave the share of him or her, so dying to the survivor of them. I hereby revoke all other wills and do nominate, constitute and appoint Robert Owen and Luke Heron of the City of Dublin, gentlemen; executors of my will and guardians of my said son and daughter William and Mary. In witness whereof, I have hereunt& set my hand and seal the 28th day of December, 1766.

EDWARD HARTIGAN.

X his mark, signed, sealed, and published by the executors in the presence of us, the testator not being able to use his right hand.

 

The only son of Surgeon Edw. Hartigan was WILLIAM HARTIGAN, M.D.

Surgeon William Hartigan, M.D., was born in 1750. He, in right of his father, took out the freedom of the city of Dublin, as a member of the Guild of St. Luke or Apothcaries in 1777, of which Guild he was warden in 1781. Dr. Hartigan was president of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, and his bust is now in the College. He was professor of Anatomy in T.C.D., and had the degree of M.D. conferred on him (Honoris Causâ) in 1802. Dr. Hartigan lived in 1780 at 15 Grafton Street, from 1780-1787 in King’s Street, Stephen’s Green, in 1781 at 61 Dame Street, and later on at 3 Kildare Street.

The following is from the History of the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland, by Sir Charles Cameron, Vice-President of the College in 1884.

???????????????????????????????

William Hartigan, President, 1797."

According to Hardiman, the historian of Galway, the O’Hartigans are an ancient Irish family at one time possessed of a considerable territory in the county of Galway. They belonged to the ??? L)alcassian Race. William Hartigan’s father, Edward, was a member of the Guild of Barber-Surgeons (a) and was made a freeman of the City in 1749.

As he is said to have possessed a Scotch medical qualification also, it is probable that he studied at Edinburgh. He resided for some years in Dame Street and married a Miss Heron. They had a son, William, born about 1756, who was educated as a surgeon, and commenced practice in Dublin about 1778.

On the 17th August, 1780, he was elected a member of the Dublin Society of Surgeons, and on the Incorporation of the Surgeons, he was at their first meeting elected a member.

In 1789 he was appointed a professor of Anatomy in the College School and held that position until 1798, when he succeeded Dease in the chair of Surgery. His connection with the College School ceased in 1799, as he probably about this time assisted the professor of Anatomy in Trinity College.

In the Dublin University Calendar it is stated that he was appointed professor of Anatomy and Chirurgery in 1803 and in the Dublin Directory for 1804 his name appears as professor of Anatomy in Trinity College.

I have however lecture tickets in my possession of November 1804 stating that the Anatomical instruction of the School of Physic will be given by James Cleghorn, professor of Anatomy and Chirurgery, and William Hartigan. Lecturer of Anatomy.

In 1802 he was appointed Lecturer of Anatomy in the School of Physic and subsequently succeeded Cleghorn as professor. In 1802 he received from the University the degree of M.D., Honoris Causâ.

The author of the Metropolis, “chary of his praise, gives the following tribute to Hartigan’s merit as a Lecturer — “The words of Hartigan convey his meaning, Precise and obvious without mist or straining”

He enjoyed a large practice. He appears to have held towards the end of the century some kind of medical appointment in the Lord Lieutenant’s Household, and was one of the surgeons who examined Lord Edward Fitzgerald’s wounds in 17g8. ???????

Having a good presence and agreeable manner he secured a con­siderable amount of popularity in his circle. With his pupils he was a favourite and on two occasions those at the College of Surgeons presented him with complimentary addresses(b).

Hartigan was twice married, 1st to Miss Barton, of Straffan, County Kildare (c). Secondly to Anne Elizabeth, daughter of John Pollock, of Newry, Esquire. One of Hartigan’s daughters became wife of Sir Matthew Barring­ton of Glenstal, Limerick.

His eldest son, Edward, born in 1790, was apprenticed to his father, but abandoned surgery and took Holy Orders.

Edward’s son is William Hartigan, barrister of Killiney. Hartigan was noted for his fondness for cats. He frequently in his rounds of visits brought a pair of kittens with him, ensconsed in the deep coat pockets worn early in the century. He died 15th December 1812, from what was then called ossification of the heart, and was interred in St. Anne’s Church, Dublin.

The following verses were written by Christopher Butson, Bishop of Clonfert, on her marriage:

“ON CHARLOTTE HARTIGAN.”

 

When the swain of the law,

Pretty Charlotte first saw,

The ingenious and musical Hartigan.

On her charms with surprise

So fixed were his eyes,

You’d think from their sockets they’d start again.

 

Away went his quill,

No brief would he fill,

No conveying could think of save Hartigan,

While he languished in town

lu the North(a) he wrote down

That his love would soon break his poor heart again.

For his vows and his sueing

For such desperate wooing,

The kind nymph, his swift glance deigned to dart again.

Uncle John(b) was content, So Mamma gave consent, Smack together they went,

And we hope until death, they won’t part again.

III.              George Augustus Chichester May joined the bar in 1844 after having graduated at Cambridge University. In 1863 he obtained silk, having then attained to distinction at the Chancery Bar.

In 1873 he was elected a Bencher of King’s Inn, Dublin, and in the year following, in Lord Beaconsfield’s Administration, was promoted to the. office of Law Adviser to the Crown. He became soon Solicitor-General and in 1875 Attorney­ General for Ireland.

He held this position for two years, and in 1877, on the death of the famous Chief Justice Whiteside (who had been counsel for the Liberator, Daniel O’Connell) became Lord Chief Justice of the Queen’s Bench, Ireland, Chief Justice May was to have presided at the State Trial of Parnell and the other Irish Members of Parliament, in 1880. He withdrew however from the Bench, on the first day of the trial. This step was taken in consequence of some remarks that had been previously made by him regarding the trials, and he considered that justice was best served by another judge presiding, lest he should have been accused of partiality to the crown, if a conviction took place.

Pages 17 & 18. The brothers George and Carlile Pollock, married two sisters, drs. of Richard Yates, the brother of Admiral Yates, R.N. The descendants of only one of the children of George Pollock are given in this book. As regards the other descendants of George Pollock, Dr. Carlile Terry in a letter to Mrs. C. S. Hartigan in 1886, wrote “ As for the New Orleans Pollocks, I can tell you but little, some are still Pollocks, but the girls married into German and French families of wealth, live in French quarters, and use principally the French language.”

Dr. Terry’s daughter, Mrs. Pollard, wrote to me in September 1899, that two descendants of George Pollock were Mr. Henry Chapella and Mrs. Reed, both of New Orleans. Dr. Terry in the letter of 1886 alluded to above, also wrote, “ When I was North on my summer vacation, I had the pleasure of seeing again the beautiful picture by Stewart, of Aunt Hartigan, of Dublin, which was one of the ornaments of my mother’s house and considered one: of his masterpieces.

P. 33. William Henry Hartigan of Belmont, Monkstown,. County Dublin, senior representative of Dr. Hartigan by his marriage with Elizabeth Ann Pollock, states that he never lived at Killiney. He believes that Dr. Hartigan was married to a Miss Barton of Straffan previous to the marriage with Miss Stewart. I am unable to obtain any record of such a marriage.

ARMS AND CREST OF POLLOCK.

 

The Reverend W. P. Pollock-Hill informs me that “the Brothers Pollock,” under whom he worked in Birmingham, told him that the Crest was granted to a Pollock who was serving in his Scottish Bodyguard, by Louis XI. of France. They also said that Sir Walter Scott had used this incident, the record of which was known to him, in his novel of Quentin Durward, when he makes Quentin Durward save Louis XI. from an infuriated Boar, which had dismounted the King. This gives a good reason
