Irish Pedigrees by John O'Hart, v. 1 lists several Plunkett lines. v.2lists both Talbots and Plunketts holding office, p. 611. The Plunkettdescent from Wm. the Conq. is listed on p. 27. P. 834 states that HenryII gave the Kingdom of Meath to De Lacy and his Barons and lists Talbotand Plunkett among them. P. 835 lists that both Talbots and Plunkettswere in Meath, Dublin with the Talbots in Malahide and the Plunkets inLouth. Both families received titles over several generations. A censusof Ireland, 1659 lists both Plunketts and Talbots."
