Descent William Burgh , or de Burgh , was born in 1741 to Thomas Burgh of Bert ( 1696-1754 ) , Member of Parliament for Lanesborough and landowner in County Kildare , Ireland , and his wife Anne Downes ( 1709-1801 ) , whom he married in 1731 . Anne was the daughter of Dive Downes ( 1653-1709 ) , Bishop of Cork and Ross , and Catherine Fitzgerald , daughter of Robert FitzGerald and granddaughter of George FitzGerald , 16th Earl of Kildare . William 's grandfather , William de Burgh of Bert MP ( died 1744 ) was Comptroller and Accountant-General for Ireland , and a brother of the prominent architect , Colonel Thomas de Burgh of Oldtown , MP ( who built Trinity College Library , Dublin ) . The family were descendants of William de Burgh ( c.1160-1206 ) , founder of the House of Burgh , who first settled in Ireland in 1185 . Education De Burgh was educated at Trinity College , Dublin . Career De Burgh began his political career by representing the borough of Athy , Kildare , in the Irish parliament of 1769-76 . A keen supporter of liberty of political expression , he was to become a leading figure in the York association for parliamentary reform . From the outset , however , he displayed his opposition to the ideas of the French Revolution , and although this gained him favour with his friend Edmund Burke , it brought him little initial popularity . He was vindicated when the later bloodshed of the revolution brought public opinion around . Like his brother-in-law , Walter Hussey Burgh , he was opposed to the war in America . A close friend of William Wilberforce , the leading light of the movement for the abolition of slavery , de Burgh enthusiastically supported the campaign . As a theologian , de Burgh is best known for his defence of the doctrine of the Trinity against Socinianism . A series of intellectual battles with the Rev. Theophilus Lindsey resulted in the publication of A scriptural confutation of the arguments against the one Godhead of the Father , Son , and Holy Ghost produced by the Rev. Mr Lindsay in 1774 , and An inquiry into the belief of the Christians of the first three centuries representing the one Godhead of Father , Son , and Holy Ghost , published in York in 1778 . Much criticised by anti-trinitarians , his writings received the approval and support of many distinguished laymen , including his friend Edmund Burke , and leading churchmen of the day who included Thomas Newton , Bishop of Bristol . His orthodox theological studies led to the award of a DCL by the University of Oxford in 1788 . Family Burgh was married to Mary ( died 1819 ) , daughter of George Warburton on 25 June 1768 , another Irish landowning family . She survived him by 11 years . Although William de Burgh owned considerable estates in Ireland , he lived most of his life in York and was buried in York Minster . In accordance with his will , 328 volumes were bequeathed to the Library at York Minster . Wiliam 's brother , Thomas de Burgh ( 1741-1810 ) was also a Member of Parliament and went on to become Accountant-General for Ireland . Thomas ' son was General Ulysses de Burgh , 2nd Baron Downes , GCB ( 1788-1863 ) , a well-known officer in the Peninsular War and aide-de-camp to the Duke of Wellington . William 's two sisters both married prominent politicians . Margaret Amelia ( died 1824 ) married John Foster , Lord Oriel , speaker of the Irish House of Commons , and was created Viscountess Ferrard in 1797 . Anne ( died 1782 ) married Rt Hon Walter Hussey Burgh MP PC ( 1742-1783 ) , Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer and campaigner for Irish Independence . |
