Sir Francis Slingsby (1569–1651) was an English-born soldier who settled in Ireland following service as an officer during the Nine Years' War.
The ninth and youngest son of apparently recusant Yorkshire Catholic parents, Francis and Mary ( née Percy) Slingsby, the younger Francis married Elizabeth Cuffe shortly after arriving in Kilmallock, County Limerick. [1] She was a daughter of Hugh Cuffe, an early settler in the Munster Plantation who held estates in northern County Cork. [2] Slingsby acquired lands at Kilmore through his marriage, and his family were established as prominent figures in Munster.[ citation needed]
He sat as MP for Bandonbridge in the Parliament of Ireland from 1639 to 1645. [3]
