Hi Gerald,
The name of my husband's great-grandfather who was coachman to Rev. Henry Lucas St. George was William Marshall. As far as I know, he was from Dromore. We think he was married to Elizabeth Mosgrove. I wish we had more information about him.
Thanks so much for sending the picture. The Reverend looks like a very distinguished man.
I have a story about the Rev. Jack Davis. My husband's father, also named William Marshall, was about age 13 when he drove the Rev. Davis around, first in horse-drawn carriage, while making his house calls. Davis used to get a shot of whiskey at each stop and became more merry at each stop. He used to sing to the clip clop of the horses, “The Orange Tree”: When William came to England, the King of it to be, he brought a branch along with him of the old Orange Tree. When William came to Ireland, the Protestants to join, he brought the branch along with him and set it at the Boyne.
Regards,
Susan
