Robert Echlin (British Army officer)
Lieutenant-General Robert Echlin (c.1657 – c.1723) was an Irish officer of the British Army, who for many years commanded the 6th (Iniskilling) Dragoons. He also sat in the Irish House of Commons and the House of Commons of Great Britain. In later life, embittered by chronic poverty, lack of professional advancement and a failing military career, he espoused the Jacobite cause, and died in exile in France. He was the first owner of the famous Echlin Sword.
==Family==
He was born at Ardquin, County Down, youngest son of Robert Echlin, and great-grandson of Robert Echlin, Bishop of Down and Connor from 1612 to 1635. His father died shortly after Robert's birth, and seems to have left his family in poverty.
Robert's elder brother Sir Henry Echlin repaired the family fortunes: after a successful career as a barrister and judge, ending with a term as second Baron of the Court of Exchequer (Ireland), he was created the first of the Echlin baronets in 1721, and became a substantial landowner, with his principal seat at Clonagh Castle in County Kildare.
