Kildare ; but the name of Wesley was assumed, 15 Nov. 1728, by his Lordship's grandfather, llichard Colley of Dublin (afterwards [1746] cr. Baron Moknington [l.]),iu compliance with the will of that gentleman's cousin, Garret Wesley, then " late of Dangan and Mornington, co. Meath, Esq." ^vho d. 23 Sep. 1728), whoBe estates he inherited upon that condition. Testator's mother was Elizabeth Colley, aunt to Richard Colley, the devisee, who thus, though inheriting the Wellesley estates, iu no way represented that family. He had, indeed, a desceut in the Sth deyree (not one involving any representation) from Sir Win. Wellesley, of Dangan (who d. about 1495), through Sir William's daughter Alison, who m. John Cusack and was grandmother of Katherine Cusack, who m. Sir Henry Colley, mid d. 1597. In virtue of this descent, he would be 1th cousin to the testator, a relationship of which not improbably they were unaware.
