The improbably named Captain William Bunbury McClintock Bunbury was undoubtedly one of the most important members of the family to sit upon the throne of Lisnavagh. It was, after all, he who commissioned the building of the present house at Lisnavagh in the 1840s. Born in 1800, he lost his mother to a horse-fall in Bath the following year. His widowed father, John McClintock, MP for Louth, was married again to a sister of the Earl of Clancarty, one of the most powerful men in Europe during the Congress of Vienna that followed the fall of Napoleon. Educated at Gosport in Hampshire, William entered the Royal Navy aged 13 in July 1813 as a first class volunteer on the Ajax. As a 16 year old Midshipman on HMS Severn, William took part in the Bombardment in Algeria, marking the start of a naval career focused on the liberation of slaves. In the 1820s and 1830s, he sailed the little known seas of the Southern Hemisphere as an officer on board HMS Samarang, again chasing slave ships and protecting British interests. Also on board the Samarang was his first cousin, later Admiral Sir Leopold McClintock, and the artist-adventurer William Smyth. In Brazil and Peru, the Samarang encountered the Beagle, upon which Robert FitzRoy and Charles Darwin were travelling. On the death of his maternal uncle Thomas Bunbury, MP, in 1847 he succeeded to the Bunbury family estates at Lisnavagh. As a legal prerequisite for this inheritance, he had to comply with his uncle's will, combining the surname "Bunbury" with his own family name of "McClintock". Hence, the current name of "McClintock Bunbury". It is said that the McClintocks had the cash and the Bunburys had the name. William also succeeded to his late uncle's seat in the British House of Commons and served as Member of Parliament for County Carlow alongside Colonel Henry Bruen during the unhappy era of the Irish Famine. In 1847 he recruited the services of the eccentric Scottish architect Daniel Robertson to build a New House at Lisnavagh. Robertson was also commissioned to landscape and design the gardens and grounds that surrounded the new house. He represented County Carlow in the British Parliament for the Conservative party from 1846 to 1852, and again from Feb 1853 until ill-health obliged him to retire in 1862. In 1842, William married Pauline Stronge, second daughter of the influential Orangeman, Sir James Stronge, of Tynan Abbey, County Armagh. She provided him with two sons, Tom and Jack, and two daughters, Bella and Helen, before his somewhat premature death at the age of 66 at Lisnavagh on 2nd June 1866.
NB: The Captain was a methodical man who, after he left the Navy in 1834, chronicled much of his life in a series of small pocket journals'. I plan to transcribe these over coming years. His diary page can be found here:

Captain William McClintock Bunbury was born in Dublin on Monday 8th September 1800, the second son of John and Jane McClintock of Drumcar House, Co. Louth. Early the following year, he was christened "William Bunbury McClintock" in memory of his mothers' father, William Bunbury, a promising politician who had been killed in a horse accident near Leighlinbridge, Co. Carlow, some twenty four years earlier. His death left his young widow Katherine with two small boys, Thomas and Kane, and a daughter, Jane, born posthumously some months after William's death. Katherine was a wealthy heiress, being the sole surviving child of Redmond Kane, a razor-sharp land speculator from Co. Monagahn who specialized in acquiring bishops' leases (since these were usually let at under-value), particularly under the Archbishop of Dublin and the Bishop of Clogher. By this manner, Redmond had secured considerable estates along the Ulster border during the 1770s and 1780s. Katherine's only brother had also been killed when his robes were caught in the spokes of a stagecoach, dragging him under its wheels. After the death of her husband, Katherine Bunbury seems to have raised her three children between the Bunbury family home at Lisnavagh in County Carlow - their uncles Benjamin and George Bunbury lived nearby - and, in time, the City of Bath in Somerset. Nor would they have been strangers to the Kane family seat of Mantua at Swords to the north of Dublin City. (1) All three children settled in Ireland, with Thomas taking on Lisnavagh House and being returned to Westminster as the Member of Parliament for County Carlow. Kane Bunbury was old enough to serve during for the Crown during the Rebellion of 1798 although he did not see any action. The previous year, 19-year-old Jane Bunbury was married to an up and coming politician from Co. Louth by name of John McClintock.
Less than 20 years after the first brick was laid at Lisnavagh, Captain William Bunbury McClintock Bunbury passed away at Lisnavagh on the 2nd June in his 66th year. He was buried in the family vault at St. Mary?s in Rathvilly where he was all to soon to be joined by his wife and daughters. In his will, he instructed his brothers, George Augustus Jocelyn McClintock, Robert Le Poer McClintock, Henry Stanley McClintock and John McClintock (later 1st Baron Rathdonnell) that all life tenants and tenants in tail "shall take and from thenceforth use the surname of Bunbury only and no other name in addition to his or her or their Christian names and shall bear the arms of Bunbury quartered with his, her or their own family arms". He bequeathed to his widow and sole executor of his will, £3000 and "the use of my mansion house and demesne at Lisnevagh together with the use of all my pictures, plates, china, linen, glass, furniture, horses, carriages, harness, saddles, bridles, farming stock and implements of husbandry" until each of his children was 21 after which they would also be entitled to such usage. He also provided £14,000 for his two younger children, Jack and Isabella, and a further £300 pa up until their 21st birthday "for or towards their advancement in the world". John Calvert Stronge and Thomas Vessey Nugent were his trustees.
