Oliver Grace
Oliver Grace, of Shanganagh, (now Gracefield) was chosen in 1689 as the representative in Parliament of the borough of Ballynakill, in the Queen's County, Ireland.〔Mason, William Shaw (1819). ''A Statistical Account, or Parochial Survey of Ireland, Volume 3''. Dublin: Faulkner Press, p. 661〕
==Political career==
Oliver Grace was Chief Remembrancer of the Irish Exchequer and a member of the Privy Council of King James II.〔Brewer, James Norris (1826). ''The Beauties of Ireland: Being Original Delineations, Topographical, Historical, and Biographical, of Each County, Volume 2''. London: Sherwood, Gilbert and Piper, p. 120〕
Although a supporter of Catholic King James II during the Williamite War in Ireland, Oliver Grace was trusted and respected by the Protestant Landed Gentry of Queen's County. When the Jacobites held the upper hand in Ireland, several large Protestant estates were assigned over to him in trust whose proprietors relied solely on his honor for their restoration.〔Grace, Sheffield (1823). ''Memoirs of the Family of Grace''. London: Weed and Rider, p. 53〕 When the forces of William of Orange ultimately triumphed, Irish Protestants prevailed on King William III to grant Oliver Grace a pardon for his adherence to James II, which he received on May 21, 1696.〔Brewer, ''The Beauties of Ireland: Being Original Delineations, Topographical, Historical, and Biographical, of Each County, Volume 2'', p. 120〕
