Robert Saunders (Irish Lawyer)
Robert Saunders (c.1650–1708) was an Irish landowner, barrister and politician. He sat in the Irish House of Commons as MP for Cavan, and was the Irish Prime Serjeant-at-law. Unusually, his youngest son, Morley Saunders, also held the office of Prime Serjeant. Robert was one of the founders of the village of Swanlinbar, County Cavan, which is partially named after him, according to Jonathan Swift, who states that "an" represents the "aund" in "Saunders". He was probably born in County Wexford. He was the second son of Colonel Robert Saunders and his wife Sarah Fitzherbert. His father had come to Ireland about the time of Robert's birth with Oliver Cromwell, with whom he is later said to have quarrelled. The elder Saunders became Governor of Kinsale, and received a grant of 3700 acres of land in Wexford. Despite his Cromwellian past, he supported the Restoration of Charles II (as did most Cromwellian settlers in Ireland) and was allowed to keep his lands under the new regime. ...
