Biography

From The Ussher Memoirs:

In Molyneux's "Visitation of the City of Dublin," it is written that: "Nicholas, son of Henry Stanyhurst (which Henry is thought to be the firste of this name that came into Ireland), had issue 2 sons, James, and Richd., mrct. of Dub., m. by — Blake, had issue, Henry Stanyhurst (of whom in another place), and Thomas, a Capt. under the Archduke of Austria, now 1610.
James Stanyhurst, eldest son of Nicholas, was Recorder of Dublin, and had to wife, Anne, dr. and sole heire of Thos. FitzSymon of Courtduffe, (2ndly, m. to — Brereton, who had noe issue by her).
By James Stanyhurst shee had issue,

• Richd., now living with the Archduke of Austria;
• Walter (of whome in the next descente);
• Henry, dead in England in his youth.
• Margaret, wife to Arland Ussher, and ...
• a dr.

Walter Stanyhurst, 2nd sonne of James Stanyhurst, now of Courtduffe, 1610, who had to his first wife, Cicilie Nangle of No van, and to his second wife Elizabeth, dr. of Sir Frances Stafford, Knt., one of ye Privie Councel of Ireland; by the former he hath issue, Mary and Margaret, and by the 2nd, Christopher Stanyhurst, aged about 3 years now in 1610."

Dr. Smith quotes Edmund Campian, the Jesuit in Letter III., as saying that James Stanyhurst secretly received him when flying from Englandt whom he nourished in his own house, and commended in 1570, to a friend in the country where he might be safely hidden. Smith thinks that James Stanyhurst, though outwardly out of loyalty conforming to the Reformed faith, yet in his bosom privately nurtured the ancient teaching.
In 10G9 Stanihurst proposed, as Speaker in the Irish House of Common.*, that the Queen be asked to found an Academy in Dublin, so that the sons of magistrates need not go abroad to study, at great expense, and with a danger of learning disloyalty. This was the first movement made towards the establishing of an Irish University, of which his grandson was such a shining light .
James Stanihurst was born in 1522, and died in 1573. His will, formerly in the Prerogative Office, Dublin, has perished. He was the author of three works: 1. "Piae Orationes"; 2. "Ad Corsagiensem Decanum Epistolae"; 3. "3 English Speeches as Speaker of the House of Commons."
