Lineage. This is a branch of the house of BERNARD, of Castle Bernard, Earls of Bandon, and derives, according to Thomas Hawley, King at Arms temp. HENRY VIII. from "Sir Theophilus, a valiant knyghte of German descent, who in 1066, accompanied WILLIAM the Conqueror to England." Subsequently we find the Bernards flourishing in the counties of Westmoreland, York and Northampton. SIR THEOPHILUS, who was son of Sir Egerett, was succeeded by SIR DORBARD, the first surnamed BERNARD, or Fitz Bernard. His descendants settled at Acornbank, in Westmoreland, (according to the authority already quoted) and appear to have continued in that county for many succeeding generations. We learn also, from written annals, that when HENRY II. landed in Ireland, in 1172, he was accompanied by William Fitz Adelm, Humfrey de Bohun, Hugh de Lacy, and ROBERT FITZ BERNARD, and on the departure of HENRY from Ireland, Wexford and Waterford were entrusted to Fitz Bernard's custody. SIR FRANCIS BERNARD, knight, of Acornbank, in Westmoreland, the lineal descendant of Sir Dorbard, married Hannah, daughter of Sir John Pilkington, and was grandfather of SIR HENRY BERNARD, knight, who married Anne, daughter of Sir John Dawson, of Westmoreland, and had four sons, ROBERT, William, FRANCIS, and Charles.

His eldest son, ROGER BERNARD, esq. of Palace Anne, married a daughter of Harpur, and left at his decease an only child, ROGER BERNARD, esq. of Palace Anne, high sheriff of the county of Cork, in 1767, at whose decease unmarried, the estates passed to his uncle, Arthur BernARD, esq. of Palace Anne, b. in 1716, who m. his cousin, Mary Adderley, great granddaughter of Sir Matthew Hale, and had issue, 1.
