1656 Robert MOULSWORTH, Dublin, merchant (Extracted from Index to Prerogative Wills of Ireland by Combs Researcher Vince Griffin)
Christopher LOVETT (s/o Sir Robert and Anne SAUNDERS Lovett) was apprenticed as a Draper to Robert MOWLSOWRTH on 08 Jul 1646 for eight years, freed on 15 Mar 1653 (OS?) by virtue of his service to both Robert MOWLSWORTH and a second master, Roger LAMBERT, and may have been the same who was granted land for military service in 1651. By 1657, and probably much earlier, Christopher was in Dublin (but may have been here in 1649 - see below).
"Robert MOLESWORTH, Esq., was also a military officer during the civil wars in Ireland, and after that kingdom was delivered up by the Marquess of Ormonde to the Parliament of England, he became an adventurer for continuing hostilities, in order to reduce it to obedience, by making three several subscriptions, two of £600 each, and one of £300, for which he obtained two thousand five hundred acres of land in the baronies of Moghergallin and Lune, co. Meath. He was subsequently an eminent merchant in Dublin. He m. Judith, eldest daughter and co-heir of John BYSSE, Esq., who was afterwards lord chief baron of the Exchequer in Ireland; and dying 3rd September, 1656, was s. by his only child, Robert MOLESWORTH, who having been ambassador at the Court of Denmark for several years, was advanced to the peerage of Ireland, 16th July,1716, as Baron of Philipstown and Viscount MOLESWORTH. His lordship m. Letitia, third daughter of Richard COOTE, Lord Colooney, by whom he had, I. John, second viscount, ambassador at the court of Tuscany and Sardinia in 1710 and 1720. His lordship m. Mary, daughter and co-heir of Thomas MIDDLETON, Esq. of Stansted Montfichet, Essex, by whom he left a posthumous daughter, Mary, m. in 1751, Frederick GORE, Esq., M.P. The viscount d. 18th February, 1726, when the honours devolved upon his brother, Richard." (Extracted from Burke's Colonial Gentry, Sir Berard Burke, Genealogical Publishing Co.,1970, "Molesworth of Edlington, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia" by Combs Researcher Vince Griffin)
See Also Lovett-Molesworth of the Drapers Company Archdale-Molesworth-Palmer Connections with additional data available from Combs Research List Archives; List: Combs; Message ID: 354A74C8.C96C0A9A) SW: CODY. Also note that Ancestral Files give a marriage date of 10 Oct 1654 for Sir Robert MOLEWSORTH and Judith BYSSE, and 7 Sep 1656 as the birth date of his son, Robert, which, if so, means he was born posthumously. See also lands granted to a Christopher LOVETT (the same?) in County Kilkenny some time after 1651.
1656 Oxfordshire and London. Elizabeth LOVETT Combe of Oxfordshire, widow of John COMBE of Sparsholt, Berkshire (whom she had m in 1630 in Soulbury, Bucks), apprenticed her son, Archdale COMBE, b 1641, Soulbury, to her brother, Christopher LOVETT, Draper.
Elizabeth's husband, John COMBE, was the eldest son of John & Margaret ARCHDALE Combe who m 1587 in St. Antholins Budge Row, London, Margaret having been the first cousin of the above John ARCHDALE.

7 May 1657 St. John the Evangelist, Dublin, Ireland. Married: Christopher LOVETT and Frances MOORE. (1)
1662 Dublin, Ireland. Christopher LOVETT paid quarterage (Drapers)
According to Burke's Lineages, "Christopher, who, at the time of the Restoration [May 1660], was settled in Turkey as a merchant, buty removed, in 1660, to Dublin, of which city he became sheriff and lord mayor. He m. Frances O'MORE..." Although Burke makes no note of the fact, clearly Christopher was in Dublin as early as May 1657, and St. John the Evangelist christening records (below) show a son, Christopher, was christened on 18 Apr 1658, and then a daughter, Elizabeth, christened 27 Nov 1663. If he was the Christopher of Turkey, he was not there long.
20 Jan 1671/2 - 28 Sep 1696 Abraham FOXHALL died s.p., his will dated 20 Jan 1671/2, proved in Dublin, Ireland, 28 Sep 1696 by Ambrose FOXHALL, and also in Lichfield (Genealogies of Virginia Families, "Foxhall - Vaulx - Elliot Families," Vol. 1, p. 102)
Abraham FOXHALL was the s/o Ambrose & Mary FOXHALL of Aston-by-Birmingham, Warwickshire. His brother, John FOXHALL, Sr. removed to Old Rappa Co VA where he is found in the records of that county with Archdale Combs of that county. John FOXHALL, Sr.'s daughter, Mary, m (among others) one Alexander GORGES (relationship to the Archdale-Gorges Families unknown). John FOXHALL, Jr. named one Susannah CAMMOCK in his 1696 Westmoreland Co VA will, her relationship to the Cammock-Rich Families still a mystery. (See Also Foxhall Families)
1672-1677 Parish of Chapelizod (including the townland of Chapelizod, and a portion of the Phoenix Park).
"At some point between 1672 and 1677 (during the tenure of the Earl of Essex as Viceroy), Col. Richard LAWRENCE "surrendered the linen factory at Chapelizod," as it was leased by the latter date to "Alderman Christopher LOVETT." The factory was controlled by the Duke of Ormonde, father of Lord Arran until the accession of James II in 1685 (when the Earl of Clarendon replaced them in the government. As late as the end of the century "The linen factory was still carried on there by the LOVETT family although they had been displaced for a time under James II. in favour of a Quaker called BROMFIELD, and twenty looms for linen were still working, besides others used in making tapestry." (A History of the County of Dublin, The Parish of Chapelizod, by Francis Elrington Ball, 1902-20)

05 Aug 1699 Christened: James COMBE, s/o Samuel & Bridget COMBE
Notes: No marriage record has been located for a William COMBE to a Wilmot. Probably irrelevant is the fact that Mason COMBS, Sr. of Stafford County, Virginia, s/o John, nephew of William & gs/o Archdale COMBS of Old Rappa County, Virginia, named a daughter Wilmot in 1751. Possibly not irrelevant is the appearance of Andrew, John and Samuel COMBS in these records given the later Andrew, Samuel and John COMBS of Loudoun Co, Virginia. See also Samuel COMBE of Cork in 1697.
