O'Donnell baronets

The O'Donnell Baronetcy, of Newport House in the County of Mayo, was a title in the Baronetage of Ireland.

Initially a Catholic, he renounced this faith and became a Protestant before being created a baronet.

Hugh O'Donnell, eldest son of the first Baronet, sat as a member of the Irish House of Commons for Donegal Borough, and James Moore O'Donnell, second son of the first Baronet, was member for Ratoath.

Both were opposed to the Act of Union and predeceased their father.

Neale was the great-great-great grandson of Niall Garve O'Donnell, a Gaelic Irish nobleman who assisted royal forces during the Nine Years' War.
