Lady Anne FitzPatrick was the subject of a portrait painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds, c.1775 when she was aged about 8 years old. It now resides in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
DEATH OF LADY ANNE FITZPATRICK.
We have to record the demise of the above much-lamented lady, who died on Saturday last, at Farming Woods, Northamptonshire, after a short illness. Her ladyship was the eldest and only surviving daughter of the late Earl of Upper Ossory (title extinct), his lordship's other daughter, Lady Gertrude Fitzpatrick, having died in September last at the above seat, by Anne, the divorced Duchess of Grafton, daughter of Lord Ravensworth, whom his lordship married in 1769. Her ladyship was a lineal descendant of the ancient Irish family of Fitzpatrick, descended from Donald M'Donald M'Gill Patrick, prince of the territory of Upper Ossory, in the province of Leinster, who was slain in 1087. Barnaby Gill Patrick lived in the reigns of Henry VII. and Henry VIII., and was father of Barnaby Fitzpatrick, who was created Baron of Upper Ossory, by patent at Dublin, June 11, 1541. His eldest son, the second peer, was deservedly a great favourite of Edward VI., and Sir Henry Sidney, in 1575, makes very favourable mention of this talented nobleman in the following passage :—" Upper Osserie is so well governied and defended, by the valor and wisdome of the baron as nowe is as, savinge for suertie of good order here after in succession, it made no matter if the country was never shired, nor her Majesty's wlitt otherwise currant than it is; so humblye he keepeth all his people subject to obedience and good order; and yet united to some shire it shall be, and the baron himself very well agreeinge to yielde both syne, rent and service as other countries, lately brought to such frame doe and shall doe." The second son (John) of this Irish noble was ancestor of the late earl, father of the estimable subject of this brief notice. Barnaby, great grandson of John, the sixth earl, was engaged in the rebellion with the Irish of Ossory; but was, admitted to his seat in Parliament in 1661. His son, Bryan, the seventh peer, who, being an adherent of James II., was outlawed, and dying about 1696, the honour was claimed by his nephew, but was disallowed for outlawry, and subsequently the honour was again ineffectually claimed. The title was revived in the person of Richard Fitzpatrick, a distinguished naval commander, great grandson of John, before mentioned. In 1715, for his valour and conduct, he was created Baron Gowran, of Gowran ; and in 1718, married an English heiress, Anne daughter and co-heir of Sir John Robinson, of Farming Woods, Northamptonshire, and on his death in 1727, left his eldest son John, born in 1719, who was subsequently created Earl of Upper Ossory, being at that time master of Farming Wood Forest, part of the forest of Rockingham, and was many years member of the House of Commons for Bedfordshire. He was father of the late earl, who was created an English peer in 1774, and grandfather of the late Ladies Anne and Gertrude Fitzpatrick. The deceased lady's charities, on the family estates, were most liberal, and her death will be long regretted by the poor in the neighbourhood of Farming Woods, to whom her ladyship was a kind benefactress.
