Naper (Littleton)
|
The Napers of Littleton, county Westmeath, were a branch of the Loughcrew family from county Meath. General William Naper of Littleton (died 1771) was the son of Robert Naper (died 1739) brother of James Naper of Loughcrew who married Anne Dutton. Due to prolonged law suits about the validity of the General’s marriage to Anne Fitzgerald in 1761 and the legitimacy of their son William, much of the Napers’ Westmeath estate was sold to their lawyer, John Hogan in 1805, who in turn sold it to Sir Thomas Chapman and William Daniel.
