“ Frederic Trench, Esq. of Moate, county Galway (son of Very Rev. John Trench, Dean of Raphoe, by Anne, daughter of Richard Warburton, Esq.) , succeeded his father as head of his branch of the Huguenot refugee family in 1725, and died in 1758. He was succeeded by his son, Frederic of Moate and Woodlawn, born in 1720. This gentleman showed his zeal for religion by munificently supporting the Dublin Society for promoting English Protestant Working Schools in Ireland. ”

“ Lord Ashtown died, without issue, on 1st May 1840, aged eighty-three, and the representation of his noble house devolved upon the family of his brother, Francis, who had died in 1829. The eldest son of the latter, namely, Frederic Mason Trench (born in 1804) , thus became the second Lord Ashtown. ”

“ The society accepted these proposals. This society had subscribers in England, for instance, Peter Du Cane, Esq., 1771-2, £5, 5s.; Mr Abraham Ogier, do., £1, 1s.; Sir Timothy Waldo, knight, do., £5, 5s. Among the members in Ireland, in 1773, William Despard, Esq., is named. Mr. Trench married Catherine, daughter of Francis Sadleir, Esq. ”
