This branch of the ancient family of TICHBORNE, of CHBORNE, of which the senior line exists, in the erson of SIR HENRY-JOSEPH TICHBORNE, bart. of ichborne Park, Hants, (see BURKE's Peerage and aronetage), was founded by

SIR HENRY TICHBORNE, knt. fourth son of Sir Benmin Tichborne, first baronet, of Tichborne, an emient soldier, distinguished in Ireland temp. JAMES 1. ad his ill fated son, CHARLES. Sir Henry was orn in 1581, and acquired his military education in e Low countries. King JAMES gave him the comand of an independent company of foot, in Ireland, i constituted him governor of the Castle of Lifford,

after which the same king conferred upon him the honour of knighthood, at his late father's seat, at Tichborne, 29th August, 1623. He was colonel of a regiment of foot, at the breaking out of the rebellion in Ireland of 1641, and being then esteemed the best officer in that kingdom, was appointed with his own regiment of 1000 men, Sir Thomas Lucas's troops of horse, to secure the town of Drogheda, and to be governor thereof. Sir Henry arrived at Drogheda on the 4th November, 1611, and subsequently defended the place with great bravery and success. He afterwards obtained several advantages over the rebels, and, on the 12th May, 1642, was appointed one of the lords justices of Ireland, in the room of Sir William Parsons. Of his appointment to this high office, Lord Clarendon says, " Sir Harry Tichborne, being a man of so excellent a fame, that though the parliament was heartily angry at the removal of the other, and knew this would never be brought to serve their turn, yet they had nothing to object against him." Sir Henry continued one of the lords justices, until the Marquiss of Ormonde was sworn lord lieutenant, and was afterwards appointed by the king, field marshal of the forces in Ireland; which honourable post he held til his death, A. D. 1667, when he was buried at Drogheda, with his wife, Jane, daughter of Sir Robert Newcomen, bart. who lived with him many years, and died about 1664. They had five sons and three daughters, viz.

PHEN, to the charter, sans date, of John de St. John. made to Eve, the first Abbess of Godstow, in the county of Oxford, is the first of the family I meet with; yet without doubt, it has flourished from the time of the Conquest; and in Doomsday-book, Toel mag (as the name was then spelt) is said to possess lauds."
