Notes Due to distinct similarities between the arms of this bookplate and that of the arms of Carbery, this bookplate is likely connected to the the title of Carbery, which is a seat in the county of Cork in Ireland. According to the John Burke's entry on the family in his publication, 'A General and Heraldic Dictionary of the Peerage and Baronetage of the British Empire' (1832), the lineage of the Carbery title can be traced to the family of Evans, originally from Wales. John Evans, in 1741, married Grace, the daughter of Ralph Freke (bart. of Castle Freke), and John Evans assumed the Freke baronetcy in 1768, and became known as John Evans-Freke, Baron Carbery. The son of John Evans-Freke, also John Evans-Freke, rose to the baronetcy in 1777 at the death of his father, and rose to peerage in 1807 at the death of his cousin. ; Personal
