From the DNB (1885) Vol XIX page 355 FOLEY, SAMUEL (1655-1695), bishop of Down and Connor, was eldest son of Samuel Foley of Clonmel and Dublin (d. 1695), younger brother of Thomas Foley (q. v,), founder of the Old Swinford hospital. His mother, Elizabeth, was sister of Colonel Solomon Richards of Solsboro, Wexford. He was born at Clonmel 25 Nov. 1655, was admitted fellow-commoner of Trinity College, Dublin, 8 June 1672, was elected fellow 11 June 1697, and was ordained in the church of Ireland in 1678. On 14 Feb. 1688-9 he was installed chancellor of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, and was attainted by James II's parliament in the same year. On 4 April 1691 he became dean of Achonry and precentor of Killala. He proceeded D.D. of Trinity College in the same year. On 4 Oct. 1694 he was enthroned bishop of Down and Connor in succession to Thomas Hacket, who had been deprived for gross neglect of duty. He died of fever at Lisburn 22 May 1695, and was buried there. The bishop was married, and left issue. Ho wrote: 1. Two sermons, one preached 19 Feb. 1681-2, and the other 24 April 1682. 2. "An Account of the Giant's Causeway", published in the "Philosophical Transactions for 1694. 3. An Exhortation to the Inhabitants of Down and Counor concerning the Religious Education of their Children", Dublin, 1695.

As Samuel Foley's uncle was called Moore I take it that his mother';s maiden name was also Moore
