If you look up Debretts Peerage, and Burkes Landed Gentry & Burke's Commoners, you
will find that all the Carys under Falkland, Hunsdon, Rochfort, Monmouth, Cockington,
Torre Abbey & Follaton are all descended from Sir William of Cockington through either
one of his 2 wives. The Viscounts of Falkland are descended from the 2nd wife, Agnes or
Alice Fulford. The Carys of Torre Abbey are descended through the first wife, Elizabeth
Paulet/Powlett, and were the ones with Irish connections, various members being 1.
Peter, a captain in Cromwell's forces who died in Ire 1670, had a son born in co. Cork
2.Sir George 1541-1616 of Cockington, Lord Treasurer of Ire, Lord Deputy of Ire who dies
without issue. 3.George d.1640 of Redcastle co. Donegal, Ire Recorder of Londonderry
who married Jane BERESFORD (dau of Sir Tristram from whom also descended Marquis of
Waterford). This family settled in Ire with descendants at WhiteCastle and Dungiven
Castle, but I think the male line d!
ied out.
