Descendancy:
1 Henry BLAYNEY b.1602(5) d.5Jun1646 (Benburb, co Tyrone)
Bur.CastleBlayney
+ Jane MOORE (Rt Honourable) b~1598 (Mellefont Abbey, co Louth);
[dau of Sir Garrett (Gerald) MOORE, 1st Viscount Drogheda
(1564-1627), and Mary COLLEY (~1570-1654) and sister
to Sir James MOORE who married Henry's sister Jane BLAYNEY. [434]];
m.Jan1623 d.22Oct1686 [330] [see above]
Jane subsequently married Sir Charles WILMOT [434], Lord President
of Connaught.
2 Edward BLAYNEY b.1624(5) d.1669
= 3rd Lord Blayney [see Edward.html]
2 Charles BLAYNEY (d. young)
2 Richard BLAYNEY b.1629(30) d.3Nov1670
= 4th Lord Blayney [see Richard.html]
2 Arthur BLAYNEY (d. young)
2 Garrett (Gerald) BLAYNEY (died at the Hague, unmarried)
2 John Blayney (died in the West Indies, unmarried)
2 Lawrence BLAYNEY (died young)
2 Robert BLAYNEY
Kevin McKenzie [145] suggests that he didn't die young, but was the
Robert Blayney aka "Mr Blaney", who accompanied Samuel Pepys to Whitehall
as Lord Ashley's Secretary. Lord Ashley, who turns out to be distantly related:
[Lord Ashley later became Charles II's minister the 1st Earl of Shaftesbury
who's 3rd wife (Margaret Spencer) was sister to the Alice Spencer who married
Henry Moore, whose father (Charles) was brother to both Sir James Moore (who
married Robert's Aunt Jane) and to Jane Moore, Robert's mother.]
Kevin also believes that Robert married and left a "widow Blayney from Master
Locke's" but no proven children (or potential heirs to the Blayney title).
However, his evidence for Secretary Blayney being the son of Henry Blayney is
circumstantial and based on moderately close family and political relationships.
Alternatively, I have suggested that the Secretary to 1st Earl of Shaftesbury
may have been a Kinsham Blayney, most likely Robert Playney,
son of Francis BLAYNEY Esq. of Kinsham.
2 Thomasine (Thomasina) BLAYNEY b.7Mar1627
+(1)Sir Henry (?George) PIERCE, Bart, b.24Apr1624

viz.: Edward, Joseph, Robert, Charles and Jane [707]
+(2)(Hon) Frances LANE b.4Dec1674; m.1691; d.Dec1713 ?1724)
(dau. of Sir George LANE of Tulske, Roscommon, 1st Viscount
Lanesborough, Principal Secretary of State for Ireland, d.Aug1684
and Dorcas Brabazon) [261] [229]
4  George FOX, Lord of Bingley b.1697; d.22Feb1773(2)
MP (Tory) for Hindon 1734-41, MP for City of York 1742-1761.
Inherited estates of Lord Lanesborough and assumed by Act of
Parliament 1750 (and in accordance with the testator's
injunction), the additional surname and arms of LANE,
[229] (legally becoming LANE-FOX aka FOX-LANE)
Created 1st Baron Bingley, co. York 13May1762 on the
extinction of his father-in-law's peerage. [229]
First to hunt foxes on Bramham Moor [795]
Possibly the biological father of John BURGOYNE
(below) [306] [307]
BUT this "honour" (if true) is probably better laid at
the feet of George's Father-in-law, the first Lord Bingley,
Robert Bingley who became John's Godfather and left Anna Maria
a considerable inheritance [789]
Horace Walpole claimed it was Robert Bingley, but it is interesting
to see that John's first son (illegitimate) was named John Fox!

+(2)Lady Bridget HENLEY m.1761; d.1796; dau of
Robert HENLEY Earl of Northington, Lord Chancellor of England
+??Anna Maria BURGOYNE (mistress), wife of Captain John Burgoyne).
Her son the General was claimed by Horace Walpole and others to
have been fathered by "Baron Bingley" and as George was not
created Baron until 1768, it is more likely that Anna was
mistress of Robert BENSON [789]; [790]
"The beautiful young wife of a dissipated army captain in
debt to a libertine of high rank, might easily enough have
become the prey of such a creditor of such a husband" [789]
A High Court case was heard between the Burgoynes and Lord
Bingley's heirs in 1738 see [792]
Another illegitimate child of Robert Benson, Mary Goodricke (née
Johnson), has been described as the sister of General Burgoyne. [791]
