New Book from Ulster Historical Foundation

11th October 2021 By Brendan Scott

Dr Henry Jones’ Account of the 1641 Rising: plantation and war in County Cavan

Edited by Brendan Scott

 

Dr Henry Jones’ Account of the 1641 Rising: Plantation and War in County Cavan

 

In 1641, Dr Henry Jones was dean of the Church of Ireland diocese of Kilmore. His life, and those of many other British settlers in the Ulster Plantation, fell into disarray when the rising began in October of that year. Jones managed to escape Cavan and established and chaired he deposition commission, responsible for taking around 8000 depositions, or witness statements, from British settlers.

Jones also wrote a number of pamphlets about the rising, including this new edition of his description of the events which took place in Cavan between October 1641 and June 1642 entitled A relation of the beginnings and proceedings of the rebellion in the county of Cavan.

This fully annotated edition of the pamphlet comes with an extensive introduction which describes County Cavan in the seventeenth century, Jones’ background and his account of the rising there, while also rescuing from obscurity an important companion piece to the 1641 depositions which affords the reader a unique insight into this chaotic period of Irish history.

Published by the Ulster Historical Foundation, the book can be ordered online:
