Marcus Trevor, 1st Viscount Dungannon

Trevor was the son of Sir Edward Trevor of Rostrevor, County Down, and of Brynkinalt Hall, near Chirk in Denbighshire, by his marriage to Rose Ussher, a daughter of Henry Ussher (ca. 1550–1613), Archbishop of Armagh.

On 27 March 1686, two of his sons matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford, and on 31 December 1687 John, the elder, was accidentally shot by his younger brother, Marcus Trevor.

In November 1654 Oliver Cromwell described him to his son Henry Cromwell as a dangerous man who should be secured in a safe place.
