Francis Marsh (23 October 1626 – 16 November 1693) was Archbishop of Dublin from 1682 to 1693.[1]
He had previously been Dean of Connor (1660–1661), Dean of Armagh (1661–1667), Bishop of Limerick, Ardfert and Aghadoe and Kilmore and Ardagh. He married Mary, the daughter of Bishop Jeremy Taylor.[2] Their son, Dr. Jeremy Marsh (1667 – 3 June 1734) was the Dean of Kilmore.[citation needed]
From his father-in-law, Jeremy Taylor, he inherited a silver watch, said to have been a gift from Charles I. This watch remained in the family of his great-grandson, Francis Marsh, barrister-at-law.[3]
