Life
On the death of Lord Charleville in 1822, the Presidentship of the Academy was conferred on the distinguished astronomer John Brinkley, afterwards Bishop of Cloyne’ (John Gilbert, History of Dublin, p. 239); see also Lady Olivia Clarke, Parodies on Popular Songs, ded. to Countess of Charleville [PI] - Lady Olivia [née Owenson], being a sister of Lady Morgan.
See Wikipedia listing of the eight holders of the Charleville title, whether one of the three Moores or five Burys -either as Barons (from 1715) or Earls (from 1758) - between John Moore (d.1725) and Alfred Bury (1829-1875). The title was created twice as the family name implies. Charles Moore ((1712-1835) was the first and last Earl of Charleville in the Moore lineage. There followed five Burys from 1806 onwards. By date, the above Lord Charleville must be a Moore but none of the holders of either family name have the obit. date of 1822. Charles Moore, the 2nd Baron and 1st Earl, was born in 1712 and died in 1764 after which the title was extinct until the second creation in 1806, with Charles William Bury (1764-1835) as the first holder of the second creation.

This page formerly noted that Henry Boyd [q.v.] was at sometime his chaplain - but in fact Boyd was chaplain to James Caulfeild, Lord Charlemont (1728-1799), first president of the Royal Irish Academy and Commander-in-Chief of the Irish Volunteers. Arising from these descrepancies there appears to be a confusion between Charleville and Charlemont in the RICORSO records. Note that Charleville is in Co. Cork and Charlemont is in Co. Fermanagh. Charleville was founded by Lord Broghill, Earl of Cork and Orrery as a plantation town; it is the resting place of Seán Clárach Mac Domhnaill and the birthplace of John Anster, and Daniel Binchy [all q.v.]
