    “1684 Nov. 18 The Lady Jane, Countess of Mountrath:8 [in the Abbey].”

    8Dau. of Sir Robert Hannay, Kt. and Bart. of Scotland. She married, first, and was second wife of, Sir Charles Coote, second Bart., who was created Earl of Mountrath, in the peerage of Ireland, 6 Sep. 1661, and died 18 Dec. following, having had issue by her two sons and three daughters. She married, secondly, Sir Robert Reading, of Dublin, who was created a Baronet of Ireland, 27 Aug. 1675, and who was buried at Newark, co. Notts, 25 Mch. 1689, by whom she had an only child, Elizabeth, who married James Hamilton, sixth Earl of Abercorn. Lodge, in his Peerage of Ireland, says that the Countess of Mountrath ‘died 18 November 1684, and was buried at St. Michan's Church the 22nd;’ but she was undoubtedly buried in the Abbey on the very day he states that she died. The unofficial register repeats the entry, and gives the place of her burial as ‘neare Henry ye 3ds monument,’ and there is no record of the removal of her remains, which, indeed, at that period, could hardly have been accomplished in four days.”
