WINDHAM-HENRY WYNDHAM-QUIN, EARL of DUNRAVEN, Viscount Mountearl, Viscount and Baron Adare, co. Limerick, and a Baronet of Great Britain; born 24 Sept. 1782; succeeded his father, Valentine-Richard, 1st earl, 24 Aug. 1824; took the name of Wyndham, in addition to, and before that of Quin, by royal sign manual, 7 April 1815; married, 27 Dec. 1810, Caroline, da. and sole heiress of Thomas Wyndham, of Dunraven Castle, có. Glamorgan, and of Clearwell Court, co. Gloucester, esq., and has issue, 1. EDWIN-RICHARDWYNDHAM, viscount Mountearl, b. 19 May 1812; -2. ANNA-MARIA-CHARLOTTE-WYNDHAM, b. Nov. 1814.

The family of Quin, according to the ancient Irish genealogists, derive their surname from Con Cead Caha, or Con of the hundred battles, monarch of Ireland, in the 2d century; his grandson, Cormac, was the 1st who bore the name of Quin, i. e. the descendant of Con; he is said to have been monarch of Ireland in 254. At the first arrival of the English, temp. Henry II., the family of Quin certainly possessed large territories, over which they governed as hereditary chieftains; many places still retain their name, as Inchiquin, Tyquin, &c., though now conveyed to other proprietors. Camden mentions O'Quin, of Dunderlus, among the Ulster chieftains, temp. queen Elizabeth; he m. the sister of the famous O'Neil.

The immediate descent of the earl is from the ancient branch of Inchiquin, co. Clare, where his ancestors possessed Corofin, Inchiquin, and Glanquin, with the castles of Inchiquin, Stonehouse, and Ballaportrey, and appear to have had great feudal power for many centuries. The family documents detail a number of marriages with considerable families during this period, and describe their feuds and final expulsion from Clare by the more powerful sept of the O'Briens, and bring the pedigree down to

JOHN QUIN, bishop of Limerick, 1521, which see he resigned

1551, in consequence of his infirmities; his brother, JAMES QUIN, of Kilmallock, co. Limerick, (in which county their ancestor settled, on being deprived of his ancient patrimony in Clare,) was father of DONOUGH QUIN, who m. Judith, da. and sole h. of O'Riordan, an Irish chieftain, d. 1671, and was interred in the abbey of Adare; he left issue,

THADY QUIN, of Adare, co. Limerick, b. 1645, who purchased a considerable estate, co. Limerick, and had a grant from Charles II., 13 March 1684, confirming to him the estate of Adare; his descent from the ancient princes of Ireland is recognized by Sir Richard Carney, knt., Ulster king at arms, in a record entered in Ulster's office, in 1688; he m., 1st, Bridget, da. and sole h. of Andrew Rice, of Dingle, co. Kerry, esq. (eldest brother of sir Stephen Rice, knt., lord chief baron of the exchequer, 1687); 2dly, Frances, da. of major Boyle Hull, son of sir William Hull, of Leamcon, co.
