# John Murphy (Saint Patrick's Battalion)

John Murphy, Irish soldier, fl. 1846-48.
Murphy was a native of County Mayo, Ireland who later served with the Saint Patrick's Battalion. He had deserted the U.S. army 8th Infantry on 17 May 1846, and joined the Mexican army. Because the United States had not yet declared war on Mexico at the time of Murphy's desertion, he could not be hung for his actions. Murphy, along with several other members of the battalion received fifty lashes and were branded with the letter D for "deserter" on the cheeks of their faces. He was held captive by the US army until the war concluded. Upon his release from prison, he received his pay from the Mexican government in May 1848, and settled in Mexico. He is ancestor to the Murphy-Martinez family of Guadalajara, and one of the few documented members of the battalion to have verified descendants in present-day Mexico.
# Shronell

Shronell, Shrone Hill, or Shronel (Irish: Srónaill) is a civil parish and townland near the villages of Lattin and Emly in County Tipperary, Ireland. It is situated 3 miles southwest of Tipperary town on the R515 regional road.

## Name

The English word "Shronell" derives from the Irish language placename "Srónaill". Srónaill, meaning the end or nose (from the Irish srón) of a hill or ridge, may refer to a steep hill north of the cemetery. The electoral division of Shronell includes the townlands of Shronell, Shronell Beg (from the Irish beag, meaning small) and Shronell More (from mór meaning big).

## Geography

The area contains pasture land that is used primarily for dairy farming. The Galtee Mountains are visible from most of the area. The townland is in the ecclesiastical parish of Lattin/Cullen and the school's Gaelic Athletic Association and religious affiliations are concentrated in Lattin.

## History

Joseph Damer (1630–1720), an officer in Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army, was granted lands in Shronell in 1662. There were concerted efforts made by the Damer family to introduce Protestant workers from the northern counties, and by 1766 there were eighty-two Protestant families in Shronell. In 1837, the parish, (sometimes spelled Shronehill) in the barony of Clanwilliam, contained a total of 1006 inhabitants and encompassed the townlands of Ballinglanna, Ballycohy, Ballyconry, Barronstown (Ormond), Shronell Beg and Shronell More. It consisted of 2,747 statute acres (1,113 hectares), some of which was cultivated but mostly in pasture. 'Ballinard' was the residence of W. Chadwick. Other notable residents in the 1830s included Clement Sadler of 'Damerville', Austin Cooper of 'Chadwickand' and Rev. M. Clarkethe of the glebe house. The Church of Ireland (Protestant) parish was in the diocese of Cashel.

## Notable buildings

The local Church of Ireland (Anglican) church was built about 1808, and the tower added in 1818. There was a school-house, though not in use, partly built by Caroline Damer, who also endowed it with an acre of land. Damerville Court was built in the mid 18th century by John Damer, and is marked as a "ruin" in maps since at least the 19th century. These ruins lie behind the present Shronell National School.

## Folklore

A number of folktales from the area relate to the Damer family. In one of these tales, it is said that a local Irish language bard, Liam Dall Ó hIfearnáin (1720-1803), wrote that the Damer family would not survive in the Shronel district but that the Irish Heffernan (Ó hIfearnáin) clan would.
Damer's Court in Shronel was never fully finished. It is said locally that it was destroyed by those angry at Damer's misery at being surrounded by the poor of West Tipperary. What remained of the family fortune passed to Lady Caroline Damer, his daughter and sole heir, and later to the Earl of Portarlington. The large mansion was demolished in 1776, and by the mid 19th century, little remained but the offices, which were by then in a "state of dilapidation".

# Verdicenan Kadın

Verdicenan Kadın (Ottoman Turkish: ورد جنان قادين; "Heart's decision" or "Heart's jury"; born Saliha Achba; c. 1825 – 9 December 1889) was a consort of Sultan Abdulmejid I of the Ottoman Empire.

## Early life

Verdicenan Kadın was born in 1825 in Sukhum. Her original name was Saliha Achba. She was a member of the Abkhazian princely family Achba. Her father was Prince Kaytuk Giorgi Bey Achba (1793–1848), and her mother was Princess Yelizaveta Hanım (1795–1843). She had four elder siblings, two brothers, Prince Ahmet Bey Achba, and Prince Islam Musa Bey Achba, and two sisters, Princess Peremrüz Hanım Achba and Princess Embruvaz Hanım Achba, and a younger brother, Prince Mehmed Bey Achba.
Kadın was brought to Istanbul as a young child, where her father entrusted her and her sisters to the care of Bezmiâlem Sultan, the mother of Sultan Abdulmejid I. Here her name was changed to Verdicenan in accordance with the custom of the Ottoman court.

## Marriage

Verdicenan married Abdulmejid in 1844. She was given the title of "Sixth Kadın". On 9 December 1844, she gave birth to her first child, a daughter, Münire Sultan in the Topkapı Palace. In 1845, she was elevated to "Fifth Kadın". On 16 July 1848, she gave birth to Şehzade Ahmed Kemaleddin, in the Old Çırağan Palace. In 1851, she was elevated to "Fourth Kadın", and in 1852, to "Third Kadın". Verdicenan was known for her luxurious lifestyle and sense of style. She wore only clothes imported from Europe and luxurious jewelry; she never went out unless she was accompanied by at least ten ladies-in-waiting. Among these, there was her niece Princess Leyla Achba, also known as Gülefşan Hanım, who became a well-known poet and writer, and Ayşe Zatimelek Hanım, who would become the fifth consort of one of Abdülmecid I's sons, Şehzade Selim Süleyman.

## Widowhood

After Abdulmejid's death in 1861, she moved to the Feriye Palace. Having lost her only daughter, Münire Sultan, in 1862, she was entrusted with Mediha Sultan, after her own mother Gülistü Kadın died in 1861. The relationship between the two of them was like mother and daughter. She kept Mediha under close surveillance, and always helped her whenever she had problems. In 1879, she played a major role in Mediha's marriage to Samipashazade Necip Bey, interceding with the Sultan to allow Mediha to marry the man she loved rather than one chosen for her.

## Death

Verdicenan Kadın died on 9 December 1889 in the Feriye Palace at the age of sixty-four, and was buried in the mausoleum of the imperial ladies at the Yeni Mosque, Istanbul.
