Henry Hene

Henry Hene or Henn (died 1708) was an English-born judge who had a distinguished career in Ireland, and held the office of Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer.

He was the eldest son of Hugh Henn, who was a page of the bedchamber to James I and Charles I[1] and was appointed joint Keeper, with his brother, of the Queen's Garden, Greenwich in 1639.

[5] When John Bysse died in 1680 the Lord Lieutenant suggested that Sir Richard Reynell, 1st Baronet should be the new Chief Baron.

However, the anti-Catholic hysteria engendered by Popish Plot was at its height and Reynell was suspected of Roman Catholic leanings.

Elrington Ball, normally an authoritative source, states that his marriage was childless, and that his English property passed to his sister's son Edward Nelthorpe.
