Sir Osborne Etchingham from Suffolk, fourth cousin of Queen Anne Boleyn was marshal of the English army in Ireland where he in 1545 successfully petitioned for a grant of Dunbrody Abbey.

 The Dunbrody lands were confirmed to John Etchingham in 1602. His grandson also called John died in 1650, most of the estate passed to his daughter, Jane who married Sir Arthur Chichester, Earl of Donegal. Since then ownership of the estate has passed in a direct line through twelve generations.
