John Stokes (archdeacon of Armagh) (original) (raw)
John Whitley Stokes (6 January 1801, Dublin – 27 November 1883, Armagh) was Archdeacon of Armagh from 1842 until his death. He was born in Skreen, County Sligo, the second born and eldest son of the eight children of the Reverend Gabriel Stokes (died 1834), rector of the parish, and his wife Elizabeth Haughton, daughter of the Reverend John Haughton. His father's profound Evangelical views had a strong influence on all four of his sons, three of whom became clergymen. The youngest of the four brothers was the noted physicist Sir George Stokes, 1st Baronet. John and George remained close, and George, who was much younger, lived in John's house while he was at school in Dublin. Their mother was remembered in the family as "beautiful, but very stern".
