Thomas Smyth (Archdeacon of Lismore)

Thomas Smith, LL.D. was an Irish Anglican priest.[1]

The grandson of Thomas Smyth, Bishop of Limerick,[2] and son of George Smyth, Baron of the Court of Exchequer (Ireland), he was educated at Trinity College, Dublin.[3] He was appointed Archdeacon of Lismore in 1788, serving until 1810 when he exchanged it for the Prebendary of Kilrossanty in Lismore Cathedral.[4] He was also 3rd prebendary at Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin from 1803 to 1826.[5]

He had one daughter, Catherine. She married in 1807 Joshua Kemmis of Knightstown, County Laois, High Sheriff of Queen's County in 1795, and had three children. Joshua died in 1818; Catherine, who was much younger, outlived him by forty years.
