Denis Florence Maccarthy (1817‑1882) was an Irish poet, born at Dublin, and educated at Maynooth with a view to the priesthood, devoted himself, however, to literature, and contributed verses to The Nation. Among his other writings are Ballads, Poems, and Lyrics (1850), The Bell Founder (1857), and Under-Glimpses. He also edited a collection of Irish lyrics, translated Calderon, and wrote Shelley's Early Life (1872).
Florence caused suspicion, however, by secretly marrying his kinswoman the Lady Ellen, the daughter and sole heiress of Donal MacCarthy Mór, at a midnight ceremony in Muckross Abbey.
Justin MacCarthy (died 1694) was the third son of Donal MacCarthy, 1st Earl of Clancarthy, and Lady Eleanor Butler, a sister of James, Duke of Ormond.
