Tliis branch (who were Baronets from 1628 to 1826) coutinued in the male line till 1826. (®) It seems probable that the name is merely snolher B|)elling of Ze Vief, to distinguish the elder from the younger man of the mme sumnine. (0 See Bound's article on " The Barony of Dattbeneg " in " The Oenealogiti," N.S., ▼ol. ir, pp. 42 — 46. (S) Conrthope adds that *' his representttton oontinued to exist in unbroken male descent till about the reign of King Henry VI., when it passed into the family of Msthew, by the marriage of Alice, da. and h. of Robert Veel, with David Mathew ; which DaTid died, leaving four daughters and coheirs, vis. (1) Katharine, wife of Sir Henry Wogan, (2) Elizal^th, wife of lUchard Hoord of oo.

[I.] for Dingle, 1692-05, nnd for Tralee, 1695-96, by Jane, da. and coheir of John Kveleigh, Deuu of Uo»s. In right of this match, the 4th Lord rentry, their descendant in the 6th [I] generation took, some 200 [ I] years later, (i.e. in 1874), the surname of Eveleigh in addition to his (then embellished) patronymic of de Moleyns.
