Near to the Cork monument is the vault of the Loftus family . . . The following persons are entombed in this vault. . . . 1728 -- July 8, Mrs. Gorge, widow, "buried with the Loftus family, on the south side of the steps of the altar." Regist. She was the sister of Adam, Viscount Lisburne, and married Rob. Gorges, of Kilbrew, L. L. D. Archdall, Peerage, Vol. II. pag. 300. The history and antiquities of the collegiate and cathedral church of St. Patrick near Dublin, from it foundation in 1190, to the year 1819: comprising a topographical account of the lands and parishes ... and biographical memoirs of its deans. Collected, chiefly, from sources of original record, by William Monck Mason, esq.
. . . . . . . . . .
The last person recorded as being buried in the family vault shared her name with the first, 133 years after she had been laid to rest. Jane Loftus died at the stately age of 84, the widow of Robert Gorges. She was the youngest daughter of Colonel Sir Arthur Loftus, whom she was to join in the vault half a century later. It is unknown whether she had any issue and like so many women is lost to posterity but for her place of burial. Much of what we know about the life of Dr. Dudley Loftus comes from Jane's husband Robert, who was given the task of writing the great man's biography, as he clearly had no time himself.
