Sir James Cuffe (died 1678) was an Irish politician.
The son of Thomas Cuffe of Somerset, he moved to Ireland with his father and brother in 1641.
He served as Member of Parliament for County Mayo in 1661, as Master-General of the Ordnance in Ireland, and was appointed to the Privy Council of Ireland in August 1676.
He married Alice, daughter of Ambrose Aungier and his wife Griselda (Grizzell) Bulkeley, granddaughter of Francis Aungier, 1st Baron Aungier and Lancelot Bulkeley, Archbishop of Dublin, and sister of the first and second Earls of Longford. Their children included Francis Cuffe, ancestor of the Pakenham Earls of Longford; Gerald Cuffe, ancestor of Lord Tyrawley; Jane Cuffe, who married Sir Henry Bingham, 3rd Baronet; Alice Cuffe, who married James Macartney, and Lettice Cuffe, who married Francis Folliott.
Cuffe Street, Dublin, is named in his honour. [1] [2]
Earl of Longford is a title that has been created twice in the Peerage of Ireland.
Earl of Roscommon was a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created on 5 August 1622 for James Dillon, 1st Baron Dillon. He had already been created Baron Dillon on 24 January 1619, also in the Peerage of Ireland. The fourth Earl was a courtier, poet and critic. The fifth Earl was a professional soldier, politician and courtier: he was friendly with Samuel Pepys, who refers to him several times as "Colonel Dillon" in his famous Diary. After the death of the tenth Earl, there were two prolonged investigations by the Irish House of Lords during the 1790s to ascertain the legitimacy of his son Patrick, against the rival claim by Robert Dillon, a descendant of the seventh son of the first Earl and the next male heir in line. These eventually found in Patrick's favour. The titles became dormant on the death of the eleventh Earl in 1816. However, in 1828 the United Kingdom House of Lords decided that the rightful heir to the peerages was Michael Dillon, another descendant of the seventh son of the first Earl, who became the twelfth Earl. The House of Lords decided against Francis Stephen Dillon, an inmate of a debtors' prison who dubiously claimed descent from the third son of the first Earl. The titles became extinct on the death of the twelfth Earl on 15 May 1850.
