This page is still being researched. It has NOT yet been launched formally into the Database but is shown here TEMPORARILY (albeit for an uncertain length of time pending further research), partly to record connections that we fear we might otherwise lose sight of and partly in the hope that one or more visitors to the site will contribute information that will enable us to develop our information on the families covered in this page to a standard that would support release of a dedicated page in the Database.

We have so far found little about this family. We start with notice that Jane was sister of Sir Henry. We note that we have references to both a William of Castle Jordan and a Sir Henry of Castle Jordan and that both Willliam and Sir Henry's daughters lived around roughly the same time. We note also that a reference has been seen to Sir Henry's son-in-law Richard Gifford as being of Castle Jordan. We therefore provisionally suspect that Richard's husband Mary was heiress of (a place in) Castle Jordan which suggests that her father (Sir Henry) was the last male heir which in turn suggests that Sir Henry may have been a younger brother of William. All this is very circumstantial and open to suggestions.
?? Duke
1. William Duke of Castle Jordan, co. Meath
  A. Thomasine Duke (bur 11.01.1600)
  m. Robert Cowley (d 03.07.1573)
2. Sir Henry Duke of Castle Jordan (d 12.02.1595)
  Kimber's 'Peerage of Ireland' (vol 1, 1768, 'Moore, Earl of Drogheda', p42) identifies Anne Moore as Sir Henry's first wife. Lodge (vol 1, 1754, 'Brabazon, Earl of Meath', p182) reports Sir Henry 's marriage to Elizabeth Brabazon, not mentioning Anne Moore, and reports that he "left only daughters", naming Anne & Mary and their husbands. A web site on the Giffords identifies the parents of Mary as Sir Henry & Anne Moore. Provisionally we show Sir Henry's family as follows.
  m1. Anne Moore (dau of John Moore by Margaret Brent)
  A. Anne Duke (d 06.07.1601) possibly of this marriage
  m. Sir Edward Loftus (d 10.05.1601, son of Adam, Archbishop of Dublin)
  B. Mary Duke possibly of this marriage
  m1. Richard Gifford of Ballymagarett (and Castle Jordan)
  m2. Sir Francis Ruish (d 1623)
  m3. Sir John Jephson of Froyle, later of Mallow Castle (d 16.05.1638)
  m2. Elizabeth Brabazon (dau of Sir William Brabazon, Lord Justice in Ireland, widow of John Giffard)
3. Jane Duke "sister of Sir Henry"
  m. John Crofton of Ballymurray (a 1584)
