Taken from The Martin Family of Dublin and Virginia, by Turtle Bunbury, 2006:

"The Colonel’s second daughter Lucy was born circa 1732 and married twice. Her first husband was the Hon. Henry Boyle Walsingham, second son of Henry, 1st Earl of Shannon and his wife Harriet, youngest dau of Charles, 3rd Earl of Cork. This would presumably mean the Martin family and by extension the Campbells and Bunburys had some form of allegiance to the powerful Shannon political dynasty. Walsingham died in Bath on 27 Mar 1756 (having had issue one son, see EARL of SHANNON – Burke’s Peerage) and Lucy was married secondly on 20 Mar 1760 to James Agar of Gowran Castle, Co. Kilkenny, later Viscount Clifden, with whom she had a further three sons and a daughter. ^[1]"
