GEORGES

Of the family planted by the Georges of Hastings, branches spread over the counties of Hertford, Dorset, Somerset, and Wilts. In the last named shires it was seated at Longford, and possessed so influential a position, that Sir Edward Georges, of Longford, obtained a baronetcy in 1612, and was afterwards raised to the peerage of Ireland, as Baron Georges, of Dundalk. That title is now extinct; but a male heir of the old family of Gorges still exists in the person of the present HAMILTON GORGES, Esq., of Kilbrew, co. Meath.
