Katherine Plunket : ウィキペディア英語版 | Katherine Plunket The Honourable Katherine Plunket (22 November 1820 – 14 October 1932) (born as Catherine Plunket) was an Irish aristocrat from Ballymascanlan, County Louth, a prolific botanical illustrator〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Art Collections In The National Herbarium )〕 and the oldest born native person from Ireland (oldest person in Irish history), at 111 years and 327 days.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography of Centenarian Katherine Plunket )〕 == Family == Plunket was born at Kilsaran, near Castlebellingham in County Louth. The eldest of six children, one of whom died in infancy, she was a granddaughter of William Plunket, 1st Baron Plunket, Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Her father Thomas Plunket, 2nd Baron Plunket (1792–1866), was a junior Church of Ireland clergyman when she was born and later became the Bishop of Tuam, Killala and Achonry. Her mother Louise Jane Foster (married in 1819) was the daughter of John William Foster of Fanevalley, County Louth, Member of Parliament for Dunleer,〔Burke's Peerage 1970, Plunket also Massereene and Ferrard〕 and was related to the Earl of Clermont. Her first and second cousins included three titled members of the Irish aristocracy. She was baptised Anglican in Kilsaran Church on 13 December 1820 as Catherine Plunket, though she spelled her name with a K for her entire life. She inherited from her mother one of the family's ancestral homes, Ballymascanlon House near Dundalk,〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Best Western Ballymascanlon House Hotel )〕 and oversaw the upkeep of the home and gardens until she contracted bronchitis at the age of 102 (her only serious health problem).〔 The house is now a hotel.〔 Plunket was the oldest person ever born in Ireland, and the second oldest person from Ireland, as fellow Irish woman supercentenarian Kathleen Snavely was born in the United States.
