Biography
Henry Cadogan (1642–1713/14) of Liscarton, County Meath, was the son of Major William Cadogan and Elizabeth Roberts. His father was born at Dunster, Somerset to an old Pembrokeshire family. He served with Oliver Cromwell in Ireland, and was rewarded for his services with the estate of Liscarton, where Henry grew up. Henry also acquired lands in County Limerick.
Educated at Trinity College, Dublin, he was a barrister and also High Sheriff of Meath in 1700. Unlike his eldest son William he did not play a leading part in public life.
