Biographical History
Irish political author, politician.
In 1778, Sir Richard was elected M.P. for the borough of Lismore. He was appointed receiver of the Customs in Dublin. In 1782 he married Deborah, daughter of Sir Henry Cavendish and soon after he was made a Baronet. He was appointed High Sheriff of Co. Waterford in 1786. In 1794 he published "A Letter on the Present Situation of Public Affairs" in London and in 1796 "Considerations on the Present State of England and France."
In 1797 and 1798, he published a series of criticisms against the government, and by mid July 1798 people were aware that Musgrave was gathering information for a history of the Rebellion. He was supported by several Church of Ireland Bishops, was given access to Court Martial reports and county-assize indictments. Sir Richard was the author of one of the most successful early works published on the 1798 Rebellion. He died in his home on Holles Street in Dublin on April 7, 1818.
