ADDITIONS.

P. 191.b. Sir Edw. May, bart. M. P. for Belfast, was the representative of a very antient family, originally seated at Mayfield in Sussex; and afterwards at Mayfield, co. Waterford, Ireland. Sir Edward was the 2d Baronet, which title devolved to him on the death of his father, Sir James May, bart. some time knight of the shire for Waterford; married the dau. of Mr.

Lumley, by whom he had issue (prior to the marriage) Anna, Marchioness of Donegall, and other issue. 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
society. The following is a correct state-
ment relative to the issue of her highly
respected father by both his marriages.
Among the sons, were Stephen, Joseph,
and John; among the daughters were, 1.
Mrs. Cooke, born about 1727, relict of
J. Cooke, esq. (cousin-german to the late
Viscountess Kenmare)who died Feb. 1,1812,
aged 85.-2. Mrs. Seymour, the subject
of this article, born 1731, died Jan. 25,
1812, aged 81, having had issue by her
husband (a junior branch of the noble
house of Hertford) Matthew Seymour, esq.
the present possessor of Seymour Lodge,
Drogheda, Queen's County; Aaron-Cros-
bie, in the Hon. East India Company's
civil service, Registrar to the Secretary of
the Revenue and Judicial departments at
Bengal; Stephen, captain of the Pegasus
frigate, R. N. who signalized himself on the
1st June, 1794, under Lord Howe, and was
lost at sea a few years after, aged about
30.-3. Mrs. Moore, relict of →→ Moore,
esq. descended from the Earls of Drog
heda, deceased, leaving Hugh Moore, esq.
formerly in the Hon. East India Company's
service, now of Carlingford, &c.-4. Mrs.
Price, of Castleton, Mountrath, Queen's
County.-Of the sons of Matthew Cassan,
viz. Stephen, Joseph, and John, above-
named; Stephen succeeded to the here-
ditary estate of Sheffield, brought into the
family of Cassan in the beginning of the
reign of William III. by an heiress of the
noble family of Sheffield Earls of Mul-
grave and Dukes of Buckingham, now ex-
tinct in the male line. Joseph, A. M. of
Trinity college, Dublin; in Holy Orders,
chaplain to the Earl of Roden, &c. John,
a captain in the 56th reg.; died Aug. 15,
1804, having had issue by his wife one
surviving daughter, unmarried, and four
Sons, viz. 1. Matthew, some time an ensign
in the Queen's County militia; and, sub-
sequently, a lieutenant in the 85th reg. ;
died 1804. 2. Thomas, a captain in the
56th reg. 3. Edward, some time an en-
sign in the 54th. 4. Arthur.-We now
return to Stephen Cassan, who carried on
the line: he married Miss Alicia Mercer,
descended from an antient and nobly-allied
family in Scotland, cousin of the late Vis-
countess Carleton, and co-heiress with
her sister, Mrs. Fitz-Gerald, of St. James's
square, Bath, [widow of the Right hon.
Col. R. Fitz-Gerald, who was father of
Caroline, Countess Dowager of Kingston,
and grandfather of the present Earl; also
of Lord Viscount Lorton (originally en-
nobled as Baron Erris), and of the Countess
of Mount Cashel.] By this Lady he had
a numerous progeny, and died in 1773;
Mrs. Cassan foilowing him in 1788, leav-
ing a daughter, Alicia, and two suas, Mat-
thew and Stephen. Alicia married the
Rev. George Howse, A. M. bramy of

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. Lord Cornwallis, and the two distinguished generals above named, have respectively extolled, both publicly and in private, Captain Mears's uniform gallant conduct as an officer, and his accomplished manners as a gentleman.—Asiat.
