Barbara Hemphill (died 1858) was an Irish writer of novels.

Life

Hemphill was the youngest child of the absentee clergyman, Patrick Hare, who was nominally responsible for the settlement of Golden, County Tipperary.[1] Hemphill initially published her novels without identifying herself after being encouraged by the antiquary Thomas Crofton Croker.

She married John Hemphill in 1807 and they had five children. The youngest of their children was the first Baron Hemphill.[2] Her 1846 novel Lionel Deerhurst, was edited by the Countess Marguerite Blessington.[3] Hemphill is credited with three novels which she eventually published under her own name. Although it is suspected that there may be other unattributed works.[1]

Hemphill died on 5 May 1858 at 6 Lower Fitzwilliam Street in Dublin.[1]

gollark: The words are composed genderlessly within facilities but unfortunately gain gender through poorly understood gender field interactions after exit.
