Roscommon, Ireland. The arms were granted in 1690 to Sir Thomas MacDERMOTT, a merchant and the last Roman Catholic Lord Mayor of Dublin. He was a Jacobite and supporter of James II who was exiled to France, where he died in 1699, despite many attempts to negotiate a return to Dublin.

They were both earls and barons in the Irish nobility, as well as being considerable land owners and members of the gentry. Much of their estate can be found in Kildare and in particular at Cangort Park in Kings Co. They were linked to the Dutch nobility and the name Le POER appears with the family name TRENCH from the late 18th century.

All branches of the family in Ireland used the crest in the engraving but the absence of a simple coronet for an earl or a baron, or a coronet relating to their courtesy titles, would suggests that the crest was being used by a cadet line of the noble family and probably this explains the lack of further documentation.
