(*>) There seems to be some confusion as to the parentage of Baroness Donough- more. In the " Lords' Entries " (Ulster's Office) she is described as da. of ( — ) Nickson, of Munny, co. Wicklow, and niece and heir of Richard Hutchinson, of Knocklofty. Richard Hutchinson, in his will, dat. 4 Aug. 1757 (not proved), calls her his " beloved niece Christian Hely-Hutchinson," but she seems in fact to have been his grand-niece. V.G. C) Lorenzo Hodson, of Coolkenna, co. Wicklow (will dat. 26 Aug. 1742, pr. ID Apr. 1744), m. Elizabeth (will dat. 3 Nov. 1759, pr. 23 July 1760), da. of Edward, and sister of Richard, Hutchinson, of Knocklofty. The issue of this marriage was four daughters, of whom the eldest, Mary Hodson, m. Abraham Nickson, of Munny (will dat. 18 Dec. 1758, pr. 19 Oct. 1759). He names 3 sons and 9 daughters in his will, but does not mention Christian, but Elizabeth Hodson (above) mentions her granddaughter Christian Hely Hutchinson. (G. D. Burtchaell). V.G. ("*) The pedigree of Hutchinson, deduced from Edward H., of Alford, co. Lincoln, whose 2nd son, Richard, purchased Knocklofty and other estates in Ireland (being father of Edward Hutchinson, and grandfather of Mrs. Nickson, mother of Baroness Donoughmore), is given in The diary and letters of Governor Hutchinson, by Peter Orlando Hutchinson, vol. ii, pp. 447-57.
