Bushe, Wandesford, Osborne, Leveson, Lowther and Bowes

The Bushe connection to the Coghills

This brief history begins with a focus on Charles Kendal Bushe – ‘the Incorruptible Irishman’, but continues to contemplate the Wandesford, Lowther, Osborne, Leveson and Bowes ancestors.

Charles Kendal Bushe (‘CKB‘) (211 112 1) was born 13th January 1767, the only son of the Rev. Thomas Bushe of Kilmurry, County Kilkenny, Ireland.

CKB’s entry in the Dictionary of National Biography, below, is a picture of the distinguished gentleman’s life.  This life was also captured in her book “The Incorruptible Irishman” by Edith Anna Œnone Somerville (a relative of the Coghills), and reviewed in the Spectator magazine in 1932.

CKB married Nancy Crampton in 1793 and one of their daughters, Anna Maria Bushe, married (as his second wife) Admiral Sir Josiah Coghill Bt.

The Bushe Ancestry

This ancestry takes us through some illustrious family lines (such as the Wandesfords, Lowthers, Bowes and others) into the circles of William Shakespeare and back to Lord Mayors of London.

1. Charles Kendal BUSHE (211 112 1) was born on 13th January 1767 at Kilmurry, Co. Kilkenny.  He married, in 1793, Anne (Nancy) CRAMPTON (211 112 2). Charles died on 10th July 1843 at Furry Park near Dublin (his son’s home).

Charles was the son of Rev. Thomas BUSHE (211 112 11) (born in 1727 at Kilmurry, died September 1795) and Katherine DOYLE (211 112 12), the daughter of Charles DOYLE (211 112 121).

2. Rev. Thomas Bushe (211 112 11) was the son of Arthur BUSHE (211 112 111) (born in 1691 at Kilmurry) and Mary MARTIN (211 112 112).

3. Arthur Bushe (211 112 111) was the son of Amyas BUSHE (211 112 111 1) and Eleanor WANDESFORD (211 112 111 2) (who was born on 15th October 1656 at Kirklington, Yorkshire, and who died in 1706)

4. Amyas Bushe (211 112 111 1) was the son of John BUSHE (211 112 111 11) and Mary GREY (211 112 111 12), the daughter of John GREY (211 112 111 121).

There is some debate as to whether Amyas or his father John was a colonel in Cromwell’s army and was granted the lands of Kilfane and Kilmurry near Thomastown in County Kilkenny in 1670.

[5. John Bushe (according to uncorroborated internet sources) was born in 1594 to John BUSHE and Agnes KITLEY, who married in 1577.

6. John Bushe was the son of William BUSHE and Johane PACKER

7. William Bushe was the son of John BUSHE and Elizabeth FERNEFOLDE.]

NOTE: the square brackets signify doubt, and this doubt is reinforced by the book of the County Families of The United Kingdom which suggests that Col. John Bushe’s grandfather was Paul Bushe, the first Protestant Bishop of Bristol.

Further research may take the Bushe line further back (with the evidence to corroborate it). The interesting lineage here is that of Eleanor WANDESFORD (211 112 111 2), the daughter of Sir Christopher WANDESFORD, Bt (1627-1686) (211 112 111 21) and Eleanor LOWTHER (died circa 1714) (211 112 111 22) of another interesting family.

Eleanor WANDESFORD’s paternal grandmother was Alice OSBORNE (1593-1659), the daughter of Sir Hewet OSBORNE, Kt (1564-1599) and Joyce FLEETWOOD (1559-1619)

The Wandesford line

Eleanor WANDESFORD (211 112 111 2) (born 15th October 1656 at Kirklington, Yorkshire, and died in 1706) eloped with Amyas Bushe (211 112 111 1) and married without her father’s consent (witness the will of Christopher Wandesford): “my daughter Eleanor has without my privity or consent intermarried with one Mr Amyas BUSHE who has not yet made any settlement or provision  for her maintenance”

Eleanor Wandesford (211 112 111 2) was the daughter of Sir Christopher WANDESFORD
(211 112 111 21), 1st Baronet (born 1627 at Kirklington in Yorkshire and died on 23rd February 1686/7 in London), and his wife (married 30th September 1651 in Lowther, Westmoreland) Eleanor LOWTHER (211 112 111 22), (died about December 1714), the daughter of John LOWTHER (211 112 111 221) (1605-1675) and his wife, Mary FLETCHER (211 112 111 222).

The Wandesfords came by the manor of Kirklington through the marriage of Elizabeth de MUSTERS, daughter and heiress of Sir Henry de MUSTERS (who died before 1367) with John de WANDESFORD of Westwick.
