A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Uver Goldsmith are to be relied upon, the Goldsmith family was of English origin, the I rish branch having migrated from this country to I reland somewhere about the sixteenth century. One of the earliest members traced by Prior was a certain John Goldsmyth, who, in 1541, held the office of searcher in the port of Galway, and was shortly afterwards promoted by Henry VIII. to be Clerk of the Council. A descendant of this John, according to traditic Mi, married one Juan Romeiro, a Spanish gentleman, who, having travelled in I reland, finally took up his abode there. His children, retaining the name and the Protestant faith of their mother, settled in Roscommon, Longford, and Westmeath, where of old many traces of them existed which have now disappeared. Some became clergymen, and, during the rebellion of 1641, did not escape the animosity attaching to their cloth. Nor was this their solitary distinction. The maiden name of James Wolfe smother was Goldsmith, and the Goldsmiths consequently claimed kinship with the conqueror of Quebec.
