_Colonel Thomas Walcot_ (Vol. vii., p. 382.) married Jane, the second
daughter of James Purcel of Craugh, co. Limerick, and had by her six sons
and two daughters: John, the eldest, who married Sarah Wright of Holt, in
Denbighshire; Thomas, Ludlow, and Joseph, which last three died unmarried;
Edward (who died an infant); William (of whom I have no present trace);
Catherine and Bridget. The latter married, first, Mr. Cox of Waterford, and
second, Robert Allen of Garranmore, co. Tipperary. John, the eldest son,
administered to his father, and possessed himself of his estates and
effects. I think his son was a John Minchin Walcot, who represented
Askeaton in Parliament in 1751, died in London in 1753, and was buried in
St. Margaret's churchyard. Two years after his death his eldest daughter
married William Cecil Pery, of the line of Viscount Pery, and had by him
Edmund Henry Pery, member of parliament for Limerick in 1786. A William
Walcot was on the Irish establishment appointed a major in the 5th Regiment
of Foot in 1769, but I cannot just now say whether, or how, he was related
to Colonel Thomas Walcot.
