Thomas, son of Richard Lord Bishop of Cloyne, and Susanna his wife, departed this life the 28 of March, 1812, aged 40 years. He married in 1801, Frances daughter of Sampson Jervois, Esq., of Bandon, by whom he left five children ; wherever he was known, he was esteemed, beloved, revered. For purity of principle, for benignity of spirit, for sanctity of mind and heart, his judgment was exact, without severity, his benevolence diffusive, without ostentation, his piety ardent, without mixture of enthusiasm, he endured with invincible equanimity languishing decline, and when nature was exhausted, he walked through the valley of the shadow of death and feared no evil.
