Edward Ledwich (1738-1823) was born in Dublin 1738. He entered Trinity College and graduated LL.B. 1763. He became a priest in the established church, was instituted vicar of Aghaboe, Queen's County, in 1772, and resided in the parish till 1797, living on very friendly terms with his three thousand parishioners, all of whom were farmers or labourers or artisans, and a majority Roman Catholics. He devoted his leisure to the study of Irish antiquities, and in 1781 published 'History and Antiquities of Irishtown and Kilkenny.' ... His 'Antiquities of Ireland,' published in 1790, with a second edition in 1804, attracted much attention, because it described many interesting places and roused indignation from the paradoxes it maintained about St. Patrick and other ecclesiastics.
