RECTORS, CURATES AND OTHERS OF ST PAUL'S CHURCH, CORKTaken from Charles A. Webster's The Diocese of Cork, 1920 p. 156: |
|
On the formation of the parish of St. Paul the right of presentation remained with the Earl of Kildare and the Earl of Barrymore alternately,
as the patrons of St. Mary Shandon, but the right was sometimes sold by one of them for a turn, and we find presentation made by members of
the Buchanan and of the Longfield families. |
The Rectors of St. Paul's with biographical notes
Henry Maule, (1676 - 1758) T.C.D., B.A. (1696), LL.B & LL.D (1719) is not recognized as the first Rector of St. Paul's, however he was involved, perhaps in an oversight position during the construction of the church from about 1723 to September 1726. This bishop and educational reformer, was born in Arklow, Co. Wicklow, the son of William Maule, comptroller of the customs at Dublin, and Jane, daughter of Roger West. He was ordained in 1699 and in 1702 he was beneficed in the diocese of Cloyne. In 1706 he was appointed Rector of St. Mary, Shandon in Cork where he presided over the establishment of almshouses and a charity school. In 1720 he was appointed Dean of Cloyne. Just prior to the first Divine service being held at St. Paul's, Maule was promoted to the office of Bishop of Cloyne. He retained that position until 1732 when he was raised as the Bishop of Dromore; followed by his appointment as the Bishop of Meath from 1744-1758. He married Lady Anne Barry, a daughter of Richard Barry, 2nd Earl of Barrymore and Martha Lawrence, his second wife. Following the death of Anne, Maule married twice again, first Catherine Rooth, formerly Stawell, and second, in 1725, Dorothy Roffen (d. 1755), a widow of Rossmore. His portrait can be seen in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Maule died at the Episcopal residence at Ardbraccan, Co. Meath 13 April 1758. (Trinity College, Cat., 378; ODNB; Brady, I, 304; Montgomery-Massingerd 40 & 73; Cadogan, 198-9)1726, 19 September: The first Incumbent, Edward Sampson, A.M., was presented to the Rectory of St. Paul, in the city of Cork, [vacant by promotion of Dr. Henry Maule, the last incumbent (according to Brady)]. He was instituted 3 October 1726, and celebrated the first divine service at St. Paul's on the 9th of that month. Sampson, the son of Richard Sampson, for many years the Deputy Registrar of the Diocese of Cork and Ross was born in Cork and when seventeen years old entered T.C.D. as Pensioner on 21 June, 1702. He was a scholar, 1706, B.A. (1707) M.A. (1710). From 1726 to 1727, he was Rector of St. Paul's, Cork, and Vicar at Dunboyne and Kilbride, in Meath. He resigned both these livings, and in 1728 became Archdeacon of Aghadoe. He married Clotilda-Barbara Lisle and by her left issue, at his death in 1734, a son, Edward and three daughters, Barbara (who married Henry Pilkington, Esq., of Tore), Alice, and Anne. (Brady, I, 304; Trinity College, Cat., 502; Smith, 337; Notes and Queries, 1858, 511)
1727, July 27: George Sandford, entered T.C.D. as Pensioner, 9 July 1716, B.A. (1721) A.M. (1724). Sandford became Rector of St. Paul's, vacant by resignation of Sampson, and on presentation of the Earl of Kildare, dated 3 July 1727. The son of Henry Sandford, George was born in Dublin about 1711. Perhaps this is the same George Sandford who in 1749 was made Dean of Ardfert. (Brady, I, 304-5; Trinity College, Cat., 503)
1733, June 9: John Herbert, A.M., Rector St. Paul's, vacant by resignation of Sandford, and on presentation of the Earl of Barrymore, dated 22 May 1733. Herbert was also Priest Killanully.

Besides his term at St. Paul's, he was appointed Vicar at Ballyfeard (1751) & Rector Agabulloge, Cloyne (1761), all three of which he retained until his death in January 1769, at Bath.

From 1761 to 1768 he was Curate of St. Peter's, Cork. In 1769 Meade became Rector St. Paul's; in 1777 Sacrist of Clonfert and Archdeacon of Kilmacduagh; and in 1784 Rector at Kilnemartery, Cloyne, holding all these livings until his death in 1788. He married Abigail Cope, sister of Walter Cope, Bishop of Ferns. In the marriage licence, dated 29 April 1758, he is described as 'Rev. Samuel Meade, of Tuam.' By her he left a daughter, Arabella Sarah Abigail, wife of Nicholas Archdall, of Springfield, near Leaslip, who afterwards inherited the fortune of his wife's uncle, the Bishop, and took the arms of Cope. The Rev. Samuel Meade married, secondly, in 1769, Grace Townsend, of Clondrohid, but by her had no issue. In his will dated 1 October 1784 and proved at Cork in 1788, he desired to be buried near his first wife, in the family vault, near the chancel of Christchurch, Cork. He bequeathed to the poor of St. Barry's, of Christchurch and of St. Paul's, £3 each. Archdeacon Meade was buried on 17 May 1788, at Christchurch, Cork. (Brady, I, 305-6)

On 15 April 1790 he married Anne Allen at Christchurch, Cork and by her had issue. Buchanan died on 1 May 1794 at Lisbon in Portugal where he went for the benefit of his health.

He was licensed to the Curacy of Kilbrittain and Rathclaren on 24 March 1780. He was Vicar Inchigeelah from 1791 to 1838; and Rector St. Paul's from 1794 to 1838, though from the summer of 1822 through to at least February 1824, he resided in Bath, 'in consequence of indisposition' and 'confined for sometime in bed', but 'is to return to work as soon as he is convalescent'. In 1807 Dr. Sealy resided in Cork and held Inchigeelah by faculty. In 1833 he was non-resident due to 'old age and infirmity'; and in 1837 he was residing at Bath, being 'incapacitated due to age'. In 1787, the Corporation of Cork admitted the Rev. John Sealy of Bandon as a freeman at large. In 1791 Sealy married Alicia, daughter of Anthony Lane, Esq., but by her had no issue. In 1810 he was residing at South Mall, Cork. Some time prior to 1820 he took the additional surname of Baldwin on succeeding to the property of his maternal uncle, Winthrop Baldwin, Esq., of Bath. He was President of the Cork Library Society, in 1820, 1824 and possibly other years. George Sealy Baldwin died 29 May 1838 and was buried near his wife in the Abbey Church at Bath.

Hercules Langrishe St. George, the second son, died from an accidental gunshot at Little Island, Cork on 31 January 1856 at the age of 13. Mr. St. George and his son were out in a boat in Foaty Bay shooting waterfowl. On their return, the latter was taking a loaded gun from the boat, when something caught the trigger, and the entire charge passed through his body, causing instant death. A memorial tablet was placed at St. Paul's Church in his memory. Francis and Jemima St. George had two daughters - Marion Hannah married to Nicholas Wise of Kilbarry, and M. J. Annette married to Joseph Rawlins; both daughters had issue. The Rev. Francis de M. St. George died on 4 January 1882 in his 71st year, having served as Rector at St. Anne's, Shandon from 1865 onwards. It is noted that in 1845, St. George was residing at 4, Mount Verdon Terrace, Cork, and in 1860 at Blackrock by reason of ill health. Likely, this is the same person as Francis St. George, T.C.D., B.A. 1832. (Brady, I, 307; Cole, 108-9 & 135; Urban, 1839, 89; Urban, 1856, 323; Crockford, 1868, 772; Cork Archives Institute; Trinity College, Cat., 532)
