Judkin-Fitzgerald baronets
The Baronetcy of Lisheen, County Tipperary, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 5 August 1801 for Col. Thomas Judkin-Fitzgerald (Uniacke), who had adopted the surname of Judkin in compliance with the will of his maternal uncle Judge John Lapp Judkin, of Cashel. The title was a reward for suppressing the United Irish Rebellion of 1798 in Co Tipperary as High Sheriff of Tipperary.[1]
On his death in 1810, in a "criminatory obituary" and in reference to his excessive use of the cat o' nine tails at this time, it was said that "The history of his life and loyalty is written in legible characters on the backs of his fellow countrymen."[2]
He was succeeded by his son John, the second Baronet.[3][4] John was Mayor of Cashel, and High Sheriff of Tipperary in 1819; the third Baronet Thomas was also a magistrate, and a Deputy Lieutenant for the County Tipperary.[5][6] With the death of the fourth Baronet in 1917, the baronetcy became apparently extinct or dormant.
