[2] He was appointed Chaplain to the Irish House of Commons in 1731[3] and Dean of Ferns in 1734.
[4] He was appointed to the episcopate at Bishop of Killaloe in 1740[5] and translated to Kilmore in 1742.
[7] An unnamed Bishop of Kilmore appears in the latter portion of the short story "The Ash-tree" by M.R.
Whether this is a Roman Catholic or Church of Ireland bishop is not explicitly stated, but in context the latter is more probable; if so, this character would be Joseph Story, who held the see at that time.
In the story, the bishop is a guest at the country house of Sir Richard Fell and participates in the investigation of his death.
