George Synge (c1649-1692)

Mary Hewytt was born on an unknown date probably in Co Cork, the daughter of Thomas Hewytt of Clancoole and an unknown woman. As she was married in 1681 and had children in 1682 and 1684, she was probably born in the 1650s or early 1660s and may have been the sister of the Thomas Hewytt who married Jane Hungerford in 1686 in Cork.

George Synge was born about 1649, Co Cork, the youngest son of George Synge, Bishop of Cloyne, and his second wife Elizabeth Stevens.
He was tutored by Mr Scroggs and entered Trinity College Dublin as a pensioner on 27 February (1665) 1666 aged 16 years (Alumni Dublinenses 1924 p 798). He received the MA about 1673 and the LLD about 1683.
