Edward Dominic O'Brien

Captain Edward Dominic O'Brien (1735 - 1 March 1801) was an Irish law enforcement official and British Army officer.

Life

Edward Dominic O'Brien was the son of Capt. James O'Brien, M.P. for Youghal, and Mary Jephson. He was born in 1735 at Drogheda, while his father was serving in Parliament. Coming from a military family, at a young age, O'Brien joined the British Army and advanced quickly to the rank of Captain. He married Mary Carrick, the daughter of a Dublin attorney.

In 1758, O'Brien relocated to the west of Ireland and resided with his family in Ennistymon House. He served that year as High Sheriff of Clare, and would hold that position again in 1783 and 1787. Captain O'Brien died on 1 March 1801 at his family's estate in Rostellan, County Cork.

Children of Edward Dominic O'Brien and Mary Carrick:

gollark: GTech™ produces several undecillion bees per second. However, that doesn't mean that everyone ever has whatever several undecillion bees divided by 7 billion is.
gollark: No, it's a distributional issue.
gollark: I am a VERY qualified economist. I passed a GCSE in it. This was definitely not worthless.
gollark: What happens if farming gets even more automated than now, and you can just trivially produce reasonable amounts of food from a small hydroponics thing? It won't be significantly valuable.
gollark: Food will have nonzero value as long as there are biological humans? Sure. SIGNIFICANT value? No.
