Cavan / Re: Babingtons in Cavan County
« on: Sunday 31 May 20 23:35 BST (UK) »
Thank you to you both! I have found a few William Babingtons that fit that time period, but they seem to have settled north of Cavan. I found this entry on "The Peerage" website:
"William Babington was born in 1694.1 He was the son of Captain William Babington of Urney and Rebecca Wray.1 He married Catherine Johnston, daughter of Reverend John Johnston.2 He died circa 3 February 1735.1
He held the office of High Sheriff of County Donegal in 1722.1 He held the office of High Sheriff of County Tyrone in 1725.1 He lived at Greenfort, County Tyrone, Ireland.2 He lived at Urney, County Tyrone, Ireland.2"
This William Babington had no known children, from what I can find. There are so many scenarios that I can imagine where the William Babington who I'm looking for (d. 1769 in Cavan) was in fact this William's child, but of course it's all in my imagination at this point!
Thank you again for your replies!!
