Earl of Dartrey

Earl of Dartrey

Earl of Dartrey, of Dartrey in the County of Monaghan, was a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1866 for Richard Dawson, 3rd Baron Cremorne. The Dawson family descended from Richard Dawson, a Dublin banker who also represented County Monaghan in the Irish House of Commons. His second son Thomas Dawson sat as Member of the Irish Parliament for County Monaghan from 1749 to 1768. In 1770 he was raised to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Dartrey, of Dawson's Grove in the County of Monaghan, and in 1785 he was made Viscount Cremorne, also in the Peerage of Ireland. Both titles were created with normal remainder to the heirs male of his body. In 1797 (after his three sons had all predeceased him) he was created Baron Cremorne, of Castle Dawson in the County of Monaghan, in the Peerage of Ireland, with remainder to his nephew Richard Dawson, Member of the British Parliament for County Monaghan from 1801 to 1807. On Lord Cremorne's death in 1813 the barony of Dartrey and the viscountcy became extinct.

However, he was succeeded in the barony of Cremorne according to the special remainder by his great-nephew Richard Thomas Dawson, the second Baron. He was the son of the aforementioned Richard Dawson. Lord Cremorne represented County Monaghan in the British House of Commons between 1812 and 1813. He was succeeded by his eldest son, the third Baron. In 1847 he was created Baron Dartrey, of Dartrey in the County of Monaghan, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, which entitled him to an automatic seat in the House of Lords. He served as a government whip in the Liberal administrations of Lord Palmerston and Lord Russell. In 1866 he was further honoured when he was made Earl of Dartrey, of Dartrey in the County of Monaghan, also in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. He was succeeded by his eldest son, the second Earl. He sat as Member of Parliament for County Monaghan from 1865 to 1868. He died without surviving male issue and was succeeded by his youngest brother, the third Earl. He married Mary, 25th Baroness de Ros. Their eldest daughter Una succeeded her mother in the barony of de Ros (see the Baron de Ros for further history of this title). Lord Dartrey had two other daughters but no sons and on his death in 1933 all his titles became extinct.

Several other members of the Dawson family also gained distinction. Lucius Henry Dawson (d. 1795), nephew of the first Viscount and uncle of the second Baron, was a Captain in the Royal Navy. The Very Reverend Thomas Vesey Dawson, also a nephew of the first Viscount and uncle of the second Baron, was Dean of Clonmacnoise. The Hon. Thomas Vesey Dawson (1819-1854), second son of the second Baron, was a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Coldstream Guards and fought in the Crimean War, where he was killed in action at the Battle of Inkerman in 1854. His eldest son Vesey John Dawson was a Major-General in the Army while his second son Sir Douglas Frederick Rawdon Dawson was a Brigadier-General in the Army as well as Comptroller of the Lord Chamberlain's Department. The Hon. Edward Stanley Dawson (1843-1919), second son of the first Earl, was a Captain in the Royal Navy.
