P. for Belfast, was the representative of a very antient family, originally seated at Mayfield in Sussex; and afterwards at Mayfield, co. Waterford, Ireland.

The title devolves to his brother, now Sir Humphry May, bart. Vol. LXXXIII. Part I. p. 488. b. Mrs. Seymour, whose death, at the advanced age of 81, we recorded as above, was eminent as well for her virtues and unaffected Christian character, as for antient descent and nobl alliance. She was pious without fanaticism, devout without hypocrisy, and charitable without ostentation. Endeared to the circle of social and domestic life in no ordinary degree by suavity and equability of temper, by artlessness of manners, and the most anxious solicitude for her kindred in the several close connexions of daughter, mother, wife, and sister, a deep and indelible sorrow for such a loss will live in the recollection of her friends and acquaintance, when this tribute of respect from one who was rendered happy by the possession of her esteem shall long have ceased to be remembered. Mrs. Seymour was one of the daughters of Matthew Cassan, esq. of Sheffield Hall, Dear Maryboro', Queen's County, and in early life excelled in all those accomplishents which distinguish and adorn the minds of females in the higher ranks of Trinity college, Dublin; of Rockinghamhouse, Wicklow, rector of Ince, brother. in-law of Sir John-Thomas Foster, bart. and step-son of Mrs. Dickson, relict of Dr. Dickson, Dean of Downe, and mother of Wm.

Bishop of Cork and Cloyne 12th Eliz.] By Mr. Howse, who died 1801, she had among other issue, Alicia, married 1801 the Rev. Peter Browne, A. M. the present Dean of Ferns; and Stephen, a lieutenant in his Majesty's ship the Bedford.—Of the sons, 1. Matthew Cassan, of whom hereafter. 2. Stephen, born about 1757, entered in 1773 of Trinity college, Dublin; called to the Irish bar in Easter term 1781; and practised with the highest reputation at Calcutta, where he filled the office of High Sheriff, &c. He died at the early age of 36, in the year 1794, having mar. March 4, 1786, Sarah, the accomplished and lovely daughter of Chas. Mears, esq. formerly of Coleraine, many years captain of the Egmont East Indiaman, and only son of the Rev. John Mears †, A,M. of Trinity college, Dublin, a minister distinguished for exemplary piety, and profound erudi- ' tion in theology, &c. By his wife, who is still living, he left issue Stephen Hyde Cassan, born in Bengal, Oct. 27, 1789-90, now a gentleman-commoner of Magdalene Hall, Oxford; and entered in 1811 a stu dent of the Hon. Society of the Middle Temple.-Matthew, the eldest, who succeeded at Sheffield, born about 1754, was a gentleman commoner of Exeter college, Oxford; married Sarah, dau. of Col. Ford, and niece of the late Matthew Ford, esq. co. Down, M. P. whose son married Cathe rine, eldest dau. of the Right hon. W. Brownlow, sister of the Countess of Darnley, and the Viscountesses De Vesci and Powerscourt. He has been for many years major of the Queen's County militia, and has issue an only son and heir, Stephen Sheffield, born Oct. 1777, some time of Trinity college, Dublin, and student of the Hon. Society of Gray's Inn, London, called to the Irish bar in 1802; and married in 1804, Miss Eliza-Anne Lawrenson, the heiress of Capponellan, Durrow, co. Kilkenny; by whom he has issue. + Of the family of Mears, Roger de Mears, or Meres, was one of the Puisne Judges of the Common Pleas 45 Edward III. ; Beatson. And Sir Thomas Meres was, 30 Car. II. and following years, Lord High Admiral of England, an office now in commission; Ibid. The last male of this branch of the family was Charles-John Mears, captain of the 1st batt. 2d Bombay Europ. reg. in the Hon. East India Company's service. He received the public thanks of Gen. Sir Robert Abercromby, at the time his forces were expected to form a junction with those of Lord Cornwallis, and fell under the command of Lieut. Gen. James Stuart of the 72d reg. in the arms of victory before Seringapatam, 1799.
