Mr. Deane-Freeman, who thus became the prossessor of the united estates of Deane and Freeman, early showed a predilection for the residence of his maternal ancestors. He was a person of distinguishde talent, fascinating manners, and estimable worth. His early education was superintended by the Very Rev. Deane Berkeley, and at Christ Church, Oxford, to which he was admitted a Gentleman Commoner in 1777. He gave promise of a splendid career in public life. Having, however, formed an early attachment to Miss Plummer, a lady of great beauty, he married her when he attained his full age in 1781, and relinquished the pursuits and objects of ambition, devoted himself to domestic life, to the enjoyment of literature and fulfilling the duties of a landlord, a magistrate, Grand Juror and resident gentleman. He was frequently solicited by the leading and influential freeholders of Cork to stand for the representation of that county in Parliament, but he steadily resisted the opportunities which his father's borough or his own popularity and fortune presented. In 1797, he filled the office of High Sheriff for Co. Cork, and was generally, when he attended, foreman of the Grand Jury. Mary Plummer, his wife, was dau. of Richard Plummer, Esq., of Mount Plummer, Co. Limerick, and Ellen, only dau. of Thomas Bruce Brudenell, Esq. (the Brudenell family came from England with Lord Courteney, and settled upon his estate in Co. Limerick.
