Who is John Barnewall, 3rd Baron Trimlestown?
John Barnewall, 3rd Baron Trimleston, was an Irish landowner, judge and politician. He was the eldest son of Christopher Barnewall, 2nd Baron Trimlestown and Elizabeth Plunket, daughter of Sir Thomas Fitz-Christopher Plunket of Rathmore, Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench in Ireland. He succeeded his father as 3rd Baron about 1513.
His ancestors came over originally with Henry II and received large grants of land in County Cork. On the first favourable opportunity the old proprietors, the O'Sullivans, rose and murdered the whole family save one young man, who was absent studying law in England. He ultimately returned and settled at Drimnagh, near Dublin.
