Francis Slingsby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Francis Slingsby (1569–1651) was an English-born soldier who settled in Ireland following service as an officer during the Nine Years' War. Slingsby married the daughter of Hugh Cuffe, an early settler in the Munster Plantation who held estates in northern County Cork.[1] Slingsby acquired lands at Kilmore through his marriage, and his family were established as prominent figures in Munster.

He sat as MP for Bandonbridge in the Parliament of Ireland from 1639 to 1645. [2]
