Thomas Millis , (Butler and Caretaker) brought up his large family at Burley for nearly 20 years.<br />Any information would be greatly appreciated.

One has to bear in mind that 'cousinage' was a fairly elastic term in the 18th and 19th centuries, and would certainly embrace connections by marriage as well as those of blood.Nick Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03588322361791532910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704095971276575721.post-46456440204864112862021-12-12T22:06:44.133+00:002021-12-12T22:06:44.133+00:00The political ambitions of Samuel William Barton a...The political ambitions of Samuel William Barton are discussed by Charles Brinsley Sheridan in a letter to Thomas Le Fanu on 2 March 1838. He says that he was 'sorry to see Sam Barton up for Tipperary, knowing that he has not the slightest chance of success' and expresses his hope that he has not yet had sufficient time to spend any money his campaign (Le Fanu Papers, Archive Centre, King's College, Cambridge). He also says that Samuel Barton's wife Emma is his 'cousin'. Presumably this refers to the family of his father, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, the celebrated playwright, but I cannot find any reference to the Bartons in Sheridan's ancestry, although it is pretty well documented. I would be grateful for any potential solutions to this genealogical puzzle. rwnelson1@yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.com
