William Grattan Tyrone Power (1795 – 17 March 1841), known professionally as Tyrone Power, was an Irish stage actor, comedian, author and theatrical manager. ==Life and career== Born in Kilmacthomas, County Waterford, Ireland, to a landed family, the son of Maria Maxwell and Tyrone Power,〔(Famous Actor Families in America )〕 he took to the stage achieving prominence throughout the world as an actor and manager. He was well known for acting in such Irish-themed plays as Catherine Gore's ''King O'Neil'' (1835), his own ''St. Patrick's Eve'' (1837), Samuel Lover's ''Rory O'More'' (1837) and ''The White Horse of the Peppers'' (1838), Anna Marie Hall's ''The Groves of Blarney'' (1838), Eugene Macarthy's ''Charles O'Malley'' (1838), and Bayle Bernard's ''His Last Legs'' (1839) and ''The Irish Attorney'' (1840). In his discussion of these works, Richard Allen Cave has argued that Power, both in his acting as well as his choice of plays, sought to rehabilitate the Irishman from the derogatory associations with "stage Irishmen" ("Staging the Irishman" in ''Acts of Supremacy'' ()). He had a number of notable descendants by his wife Anne, daughter of John Gilbert Esq. of the Isle of Wight: Anne Power is buried in the churchyard of St Mary The Virgin Church in High Halden, Kent UK. *Sir William James Murray Tyrone Power〔Registers of St Andrew, Holborn.〕 1819–1911 Commissary General in Chief of the British Army and Agent-General for New Zealand. * *Norah Power m.
