BLENNERHASSET, HARMAN.
Lawyer and Politician.
About 1764—1831.
Admitted 17 May, 1784.
Only son of Conway Blennerhasset of Conway Castle, co. Kerry, and of the Middle Temple. In 1796, having imbibed Republican opinions, he emigrated to America, and settled in Ohio, where he devoted himself to literature and science. He then became involved in the treasonable schemes of Aaron Burr, and in 1807 was arrested. This led to the loss of his fortune, and he settled in Montreal and commenced practice as a lawyer. Failing in this, he returned to Ireland. He died in Guernsey in 1831.
