However, there had been Cusack-Wesley (Wesley, later Wellesley, was the Duke's family name) intermarriage further up the line from the Duke of Wellington. In the fifteenth century, William de Wesley married one Katherine Cusack, dying without issue. In the next century, William Wesley of Dangan and Mornington married Elizabeth, the daughter of James Cusack of Portraine and Rathaldron. Their son George in turn married <i>another</i> Cusack, Genet, who was the daughter of the famous Sir Thomas Cusack, Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Interestingly, Genet Cusack and George Wesley were actually second cousins. They had the same great-grandfather, Sir William de Wellesley of Dangan, whose sixth child (fourth daughter) Alison married John Cusack of Cussington, with whom she had a son, Sir Thomas himself.
