James Agar (1672–1733)

He was the son of Charles Agar, an Englishman who acquired lands in County Kilkenny, including Gowran Castle.

[1] He married firstly Susannah Alexander, and secondly Mary Wemyss, daughter of Sir Henry Wemyss of Danesfort.

By his second wife, he had at least four children, including Henry Agar, James Agar, and Ellis (Elizabeth) Bermingham, Countess of Brandon in her own right.

James fought a long and bitter battle to retain control of the borough of Callan, which eventually led to his death in a duel.
