John Gabbett, of Rathjordan, Co. Limerick, 'commissioner for collecting the revenue in co. Limerick, in 1695'; d. 29 Sept 1707, leaving (besides our Eleanor, wife of Ambrose Lane of Lanespark) a son and heir - Burke's LG 1850 vol 2, 'GABBETT of Caherline' (scan p.822). The Gabbett arms: Arg., a wild boar chained to an oak-tree ppr.; crest a boar's head couped sa. His Rathjordan lands appear in the Lanes' 1754 recovery-settlement (ROD 166/321/111715). The Gabbetts of Caherline are fully pedigreed in Burke's LG/LGI (incl. LGI 1912 p.254, where a later Gabbett - Charles Edward Dudley Gabbett, 1839-89 - is himself 'of Lanes Park').
