These notes on the South Cork Light Infantry Militia were taken from the regimental history: G.S. Ormerod, Regimental Records of the Third Battalion of the Royal Munster Fusiliers (Cork: Purcell, 1906). Available from the LDS film #0824226. In taking these notes I have limited myself to the time the regiment was in County Cork. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE REGIMENT This militia regiment was created under an act of Parliament: 33rd Geo.III., sub-sec. xv., c.22. under which it was the intention to have one county regiment and one city regiment. "Whereas, a respectable Military Force under the command of Officers possessing landed property within this Kingdom, is essential to the safety and protection of this realm and its constitution, and the Militia laws now in force in this Kingdom have been found incapable of effecting the purposes of their institution, be it therefore enacted by the King's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice of the Lord's Spiritual and Temporal and Commons in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that the Governors of the several counties shall have full power and authority and are hereby required to call together and array, arm, and cause to be trained and exercised, such persons and in such manner as hereinafter directed once a year, …..." "And be it further enacted, that the number of men to be raised by virtue of this Act shall be as follows, that is to say:- For the county of Cork, if with the city of Cork, if such city and county of the city of Cork shall be made part of the said county of Cork, for the purpose of this Act, 1,464 men. For the city and county of the city of Cork, 488 men. For the county in like case, 976 men." In the event two county regiments were established: The North Cork, north of the Blackwater; and the South Cork, south of the Blackwater. COMPOSITION OF THE REGIMENT The establishment of regiments at this period consisted of from 8 to 12 companies. The Grenadier Company consisted of 1 Captain, 2 Lieutenants, 3 Sergeants, 3 Corporals, 2 Drummers, 2 Fifers and 57 Privates; the Light Infantry Company consisted of 1 Captain, 2 Lieutenants, 3 Sergeants, 3 Corporals, 2 Drummers and 57 Privates; and each Battalion Company of 1 Captain, 1 Lieutenant, 1 Ensign, 3 Sergeants, 3 Corporals, 2 Drummers, and 57 Privates. The Regimental Staff consisted of the following:--- 1 Colonel, 1 Lieutenant-Colonel, 1 Major, Adjutant, Paymaster, Surgeon, Assistant-Surgeon (called Surgeon's Mate), Quarter-Master, Sergeant-Major, and Quarter-Master-Sergeant. PROPERTY QUALIFICATION OF OFFICERS The Militia Act of 1793 sets forth that----- "Every person who has been or shall hereafter be appointed an Officer of the Militia of any of the ranks following, shall be in possession of an estate for his own life or the life of another, or for some greater estate in land or heritage's in the United Kingdom of the yearly value hereinafter mentioned in connection with such respective rank, or be heir apparent of some person who shall be in possession of a life estate in property of the like yearly value." Colonel Commandant, £2,000 year, or heir to £3,000 a year Lieut.-Colonel, £1,200 year, or heir to £1,800 a year Major, £300 a year, or heir to £600 a year Captain, £200 a year, or heir to £400 a year Lieutenant, £50 a year, or heir to £500 personal property a year Ensign, £20 a year, or heir to £200 personal property a year The Colonel and Leiut.-Colonel to have one-half their property in the county. In 1855 an Act was passed in which no property qualification was required for officers in the militia below the rank of Captain, and the existing qualifications were considerably reduced. In 1869 an Act was passed abolishing all property qualifications. 1793-1815 For most of this period the regiment was embodied (except for a short time in 1800 and again in 1814) and was deployed to various parts of Ireland (except for 1813-14 in England). The only significant event inside County Cork was in 1796 when the French attempted an invasion of Bantry Bay "About the 24th of December 1796 the French Fleet reached Bantry Bay, where they were drawn up ready for action. At night the lights could be distinctly seen on board from the land, and so certain were the authorities that they intended landing that Mr (later Sir Richard) White sent a message to the inhabitants of the town that all who wished to leave should depart forthwith." The regiment attempted a forced march from Limerick but got only as far as Cork when the French were blown out to sea, the invasion never took place. They remained in County Cork at Mammoor Camp west of Bandon until 1798. 1815-54 On disembodiment, 16 Mar 1815, the staff were located in Rathcormac where Lord Riversdale had constructed a barrack at his own expense. The major problem at this time was what to do with 600 odd former militiamen many of whom were unemployable as civilians, the army had forbidden them to re-enlist but Riversdale agreed to turn a blind eye allowing a large number to join the regular army. The staff remained at Rathcormac for the next 40 years. There were several reductions in the size of the staff until 1829 by which time it consisted: 1 Adjutant 1 Sergeant Major 13 Sergeants 1 Drum-Major 6 Drummers The staff was allowed to decline further over the next 25 years by not replacing those who retired or left. 1854-6 After a long period of neglect most of the militia regiments throughout Britain and Ireland were embodied on the outbreak of the Crimean war, the intention was that they would perform garrison duty 'at home' freeing the regular army regiments for active service. To quote directly from the regimental history: "It was towards the end of this year that the so-called Staff of the 87th South Cork Light Infantry, which for nearly 40 years had been calmly resting in the quiet little village of Rathcormac, received orders to proceed to Bandon prior to the embodiment of the Regiment. What a staff it was after long years of neglect and indifference! Colonel the Hon. H.B. Bernard was fond of describing the appearance it presented, when, as commanding officer, he received this small remnant of what was once a crack corps, as it halted on the Barrack Square of Bandon. The whole lock, stock and barrel did not number more than 3 individuals...........from this very small beginning there spread the present South Cork Light Infantry--later still known as the 3rd Battalion Royal Munster Fusiliers." As in the case of previous embodiments the regiment volunteered for foreign service but this time the offer was not accepted, which may have been just as well considering that this was a very 'green' regiment even by the standards of the time. When embodiment was completed in March 1855 the regiment, consisting 10 companies, marched to Kinsale, but even as late as June recruiting parties were sent out to Mitchelstown, Cork, Kanturk, Skibbereen, Cloyne, and Bandon. It can be assumed from this that they were still not up to strength which reinforces the correctness of the decision not to commit them to active service. On October 29 they went by rail to Limerick but remained there only until December 8 when they went by rail to Dublin for garrison duty. They returned to Cork July 11, 1856. The old colours were retired to Ballymodan Church on July 1, and the regiment was disembodied on August 11 at Cork. 1856-81 On disembodiment the permanent staff of the regiment returned to Bandon. At this time it consisted of: 1 Adjutant 1 Quarter Master 1 Sergeant Major 1 Quarter Masters Clerk 20 Sergeants 10 Drummers Starting in 1858 the regiment began annual training, usually in the summer months. Because there was no rifle range at Bandon the training consisted mostly of drill, in fact it was not until 1874, when the venue was changed to Fermoy, that any shot was fired in training. In 1872 control of the militia was transferred from the Lord Lieutenant to the War Office. The following table sums up this period: 1858 The regiment assembled at Bandon on July 15 them marched to Kinsale for training. 1859-65 Annual training at Bandon commencing July 1. 1866-70 No training due to the 'disturbed condition of the country'. 1871 Training resumed at Bandon. 1872 No training. 1873 Training at Bandon. A Militia reserve was also formed this year. 1874 Training at Fermoy including musket practice for the first time. 1875 Training at Fermoy. 1876 The number of companies was reduced to eight. A trial mobilisation was carried out in July involving all available military forces including militia and regular army. The South Cork went to England and trained as part of the 3rd Brigade, 2nd Division, 2nd Army Corps near Horsham, Sussex (the North Cork and Galway militias were also part of this brigade). They returned to Cork on July 26. 1877 Training at Fermoy. 1878 Because of the Russian war scare the reserve were sent to Belfast to join the 104th but were soon disembodied and returned home. 1879-80 Training at Fermoy. 1881-99 In 1881 the army reforms saw the amalgamation of the line and militia regiments, the South Cork became the 3rd Battalion of the Royal Munster Fusiliers but retained its militia status. Regimental HQ was at Tralee in Co. Kerry but battalion HQ remained at Bandon. Training was discontinued for three years but resumed in 1884: 1884 Training at Fermoy and Curragh. 1885 Training at Kinsale. 1886 Training at Fermoy. 1887 Training at Charles Fort, near Kinsale. 1888 Training at Kinsale. New colours were presented in August by the Countess of Bandon and in September the old colours were retired to Warren's Court. 1889 Training at Fermoy 1890 The permanent staff moved from Bandon to Charles Fort near Kinsale. 1891-6 Training at Charles Fort. 1897 Training at Kilworth Camp as part of the Munster Militia Brigade. 1898 Training at Charles Fort. 1899-1902 In December 1900 the battalion was embodied for garrison duty at Dover for the duration of the Boer War but on arrival there volunteered for active service in South Africa. This offer was accepted and they arrived in Cape Town March 19, 1900 beginning their first overseas deployment. The duties in South Africa included escorting supply convoys, guarding prisoners, and general garrison duties. On arrival the battalion consisted of 24 officers and 426 men but during their time there the received a number of reinforcements: 30 April 1900: 104 men from the 4th battalion and 118 from the 5th. 13 July 1900: 134 men from the 1st battalion. 15 April 1901: 22 3rd battalion men. During their time in South Africa 3 were killed in action, 6 wounded, and 10 died from disease. They returned to Cork in March 1902 and were disembodied.

| 279 | BIOGRAPHY: John de Vere, 7th Earl of Oxford; successfully claimed hereditary post of Master Chamberlain of England; campaigned against Scots and French, notably at victories of Crecy 1340 and Poitiers 1356; married by 27 March 1336 Maud, widow of Robert FitzPayn and daughter of Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Lord (Baron) Badlesmere, and died 23/24 Jan 1359/60 at Siege of Rheims. [Burke's Peerage] Acceded in 1331 BIOGRAPHY: The 7th Earl played an important part in the early stages of the Hundred Years War, being a joint commander of the 1st division at both Crecy (1346) and Poitiers (1356). At the latter it was his adroit management of the archers that helped secure victory. [Burke's Peerage, Earldom of Oxford, p. 2178] EO7 - John de Vere, 7th Earl of Oxford (1313 - 1360) John de Vere, 7th Earl of Oxford and 8th Great Chamberlain, born in 1313, became one of the most famous "Fighting Earls of Oxford," renowned for bravery, gallantry, and chivalry as one of Edward III's greatest generals, serving in Scotland, France, Flanders, Brittany and Gascony. John was the son and heir of Sir Alfonso de Vere (d. 1328) [younger brother of Robert de Vere, EO6] by his wife Jane, daughter of Sir Richard Foliot. John succeeded his uncle, who left no issue, in April 1331. John EO7 actively participated in the wars of King Edward III's, fighting in the Scottish campaigns of 1333 and 1335, in support of Edward Baliol. When war broke out with France in 1339, EO7 accompanied King Edward III to Flanders, and, in 1342 joined the first Breton campaign of William de Bohun, earl of Northampton. EO7 had, in his war party, 40 men-at-arms, one banneret, nine knights, 29 esquires, and 30 mounted archers, with an allowance of 56 sacks of wool as wages. On one occasion, when EO7 was returning from fighting on the continent, his ship was driven off course and wrecked on the shores of Connaught where some 'barbarous people' robbed the party of all of their possessions. [A similar encounter with pirates happened 200+ years later to the 17th Earl of Oxford upon his return from Italy and France in 1576). John de Vere, EO7, was a commander at the battles of Crecy, where he fought with a contingent of 160 men, including three bannerets and 27 knights. In October 1355, EO7 returned to France, joining the Black Prince in his famous raid into the Languedoc. EO7 shared the command of the first division at Poitiers with the Earl of Warwick, where he organized a crucial maneuver that saved the English archers from being downtrodden by the enemy's cavalry. "Yet all courage had been thrown away to no purpose, had it not been seconded by the extraordinary Gallantry of the English Archers, under the earl of Oxford, who behaved themselves that day with wonderful Constancy, Alacrity and Resolution " John de Vere, EO7, was killed during the siege of Rheims on January 24, 1360, during the British invasion of Burgundy. His corpse was brought back to England and interred in the family crypts at Colne Priory. John's will, dated November 1, 1359, contained bequests to Colne church and to the chapel (called the New Abbey) at Hedingham. EO7 also left instructions to his executors to pay out 400 marks sterling that had been accumulated by his ancestors in aid of the Holy Land. John EO7 had married, in 1336, Maud Badlesmere [b. 1310, widow of Robert Fitzpayne], second sister and coheir of Giles, lord Badlesmere (d. 1338) of Badlesmere in Kent. The couple had had four sons and one daughter, Margaret or Maud. The sons were Thomas (1337-1371), the 8th Earl of Oxford, Aubrey, who became 10th EO in 1393, and John and Robert, who predeceased their father. By EO7's marriage, the title of Lord Badlesmere was added to the honorific employed by all later Earls of Oxford. His son Thomas succeeded him.

| 280 | BIOGRAPHY: John Hunt was born in 1778 in Curraun, Mohill, County Leitrim, Ireland . He married Latetia Gillan in 1804. (Disc #36 of LDS Pedigree Resource File Collection Pin#37945) BIOGRAPHY: From Birthrights By William Harold Hunt BIOGRAPHY: Before leaving Ireland, John Hunt it is said held land by long term lease, the time limit on his holding being "as long as water flows and grass grows." That these lands were disposed of when John came to Canada, is vouched for by Mr. Henry John Hunt of Calgary, Alberta who remembers of hearing his father say that when John died he still had some of the old sovereigns, which he had received in payment for his former holdings in Ireland. BIOGRAPHY: The census returns of 1821 indicate that the Curraun Hunts were living on parcels of land varying in area from 5 to 40 acres, and that they, made their living, partly at least from the linen industry. Minnie Gillan of Glenmaple, Ontario states that she remembers hearing her mother say that her grandfather John Hunt before coming to Canada , had a number of looms for weaving linen. Although unable to weave himself, he employed weavers and did custom work. The same lady, who is blessed with a wonderful memory states that Mrs. Joshua Burr of Galetta, Ontario remembered as a child often visiting her Uncle Jack’s orchard in Ireland. The orchard was a very large one. Mrs. Burr, maiden name was Body, and she was John Hunt's niece. BIOGRAPHY: In 1932 John Hunt prompted by, a desire to establish a home in Canada . He disposed of his property, and with his wife Latetia and their large family left Ireland in a sailing vessel for Canada . The passage lasted six weeks, during which period very rough weather was encountered in which some of the family baggage was lost overboard. They finally reached their destination in July, The journey from Montreal where they, left their ship was made in batteaux, up the Saint Lawrence and Ottawa River . John purchased a property from a widow, Rachel Horton, who had obtained it from the Crown in 1831. This property, Lot 16 in the 5th Concession of Fitzroy is still (1940) in the possession of his grandson. Shortly after arriving at Fitzroy one of his sons, John born 1814, died ( July 4 1832 ) from a fever contracted on the ship. His body was buried on the banks of a creek near the Mississippi River , This burial plot, in which several of the Hunts and Burrs are buried including John and Latetia Hunt is now known as the Hunt Cemetery. BIOGRAPHY: The name of the sailing vessel which brought John and his family to Canada is not known but the information shown in the footnote “A” would suggest that it might have been either the “Lord Melville,” “Evenline,” “ The England” or “The Carrick” Note "A"; - In 1832 three ships. Lord Melville, Eveline, and the England sailed from Portsmouth, with 760 immigrants to Upper Canada. (Brices History of Canada) BIOGRAPHY: On 8th of June 1832 news reached Quebec City that a ship "The Carrick" had reached cross isle, (the quarantine station below Quebec ) on which 59 of its 133 passengers had died with asiatic cholera. Next day as if borne on the wind came the infections, several cases being reported in Quebec City . On the 10th of June the plague, reached Montreal , and so on through the towns and villages of Upper Canada. In Quebec City alone 3000 people died, and a proportionate number in Montreal . In 1834 a second outbreak occurred, of equal violence to that of 1832. During these two terrible visitations persons of all ages. in all positions in social life fell victims to the plague. (Brices History of Canada ) BIOGRAPHY: Although John Hunt and his family experienced many hardships and difficulties, they were more comfortably situated in Canada than they would have been later on had they remained in Ireland for the Irish census, of 1851 (which was taken on the heels of the famine of 1847) indicates that the inhabitants ofCurraun, Mohill were at that time far from prosperous. Information relative to John Hunt’s life in the Ottawa Valley from the time of his arrival in 1832 until his death on 25th December 1864 is meager. The buildings which he and his sons erected are still standing on Lot 16 of the Fifth Concession of Fitzroy. The dwelling house which was built of squared timbers, has been bricked in and the land for the most part has been under cultivation for many years. BIOGRAPHY: As previously stated John Junior son of John Hunt and Latia Gillton, (as her name appears on her tombstone), was suffering the effects of his sea voyage when his family made the journey in batteaux up the Ottawa River from Montreal to Fitzroy died shortly after the family arrived at their new home on 4 July 1832. BIOGRAPHY: A heart rendering story is told of his mother still unsettled by the breaking up of their home in Ireland, the rough sea voyage and the tiresome journey up the Ottawa River going out across their newly acquired land to find a suitable spot in which to bury her son. She choose a triangular shaped area on the banks of a brook flowing in to the Mississippi River nearby and there her son was buried under the shade of an elm tree a, few hundred yards from the rough log shanty which was the family home. Twenty years later the mother aged 70 was laid beside her son. On Christmas day, 1864 her life’s partner John Hunt senior aged 85, died and was buried in the same plot. | Hunt, John (I1288)

| 281 | BIOGRAPHY: John Hunt, Great Grand Son of 15th Earl of Oxford, (John de Vere). John was great mates with his cousin, Henry de Vere, (Lord Bolingboke, 18th Earl of Oxford). Henry's mother, (Lady Elizabeth Trentham of Rowcester), disapproved of their friendship in a letter quoting, "John Hunt was taking Henry to Houses of ill repute, with drinking, lewd talk and loose women". Henry was killed in Holland in June 1625. John was a Captain in the Army of Charles I, took service in Ireland and was one of the 49 officers in the Cromwellian Army along with his son, Vere. His commission dated was the 24th April 1650. John was known as Colonel. According to "Hunt Family Records" by J. Montgomery Seaver. John Captain in the Army, temp. Charles I; one of" The 49 Officers" was granted land in the borony of Talbots Town (Tullughfargus and Russellstown), County Wicklow, in part satisfaction for his services in Ireland, 1667.

He was summoned to Edward I's last Parliament at Carlisle in 1306, but was excused by the King. He was summoned to the Coronation of Edward II, 25 February 1307/8. In the following year he was one of the five Earls who, owing to their hostility to Gavaston, refused to attend the secret Parliament at York.

Robert additionally battled alongside Kings Edward II and Edward III in both Scotland and France in skirmishes of the Hundred Years War. He officiated at the Coronation of Queen Isabella, wife of Edward II, in 1308 and was known as: "The Good earl of Oxford, his government, both in peace and war being so prudent, his hospitality and works of Charity so wisely abundant, and his temperance, with religious zeal, so admirably conjoined, that the common people esteemed him as a Saint " He married Margaret Mortimer, daughter of Roger Mortimer, Earl of March. Robert's only son Thomas pre-deceased him, and thus he died without an heir in 1331 and his honors and titles devolved upon his nephew, John, EO7. Robert, EO6, is buried in the family chapel at Bures, 20 miles from Hedingham, where many of the Earls of Oxford are interred. By Robert Brazil | De Vere, Robert 6th Earl of Oxford (I3750)

| 299 | BIOGRAPHY: Scanty available evidence, indicates that William is the William Hunt who married Mary Waters, and removed to Mohill County , Leitrum with his family prior to 1797 and who was buried at Mohill, 22 Jan. 1825 . That the Limerick and Leitrum Hunt families are related, is borne out by the fact that Venerable Fitzmaurice Hunt (I3475) Archdeacon of Ardagh and Vicar General of Mohill prior to his death at Mohill on 21 April 1891, at age of 60 was a great great grandson of Rev. Vere Hunt (I1407). The Protestant Church at Mohill is named "The Hunt Memorial Church" in his memory. Local tradition at Mohill supports the belief that the Currawn Mohill Hunts came originally from Limerick .
