Shuckburgh, Warwickshire. There were no children of this marriage (Grace was much older than her husband), but she had seven surviving children by her first marriage, including Sir John Shuckburgh (1635–1661), first of the Shuckburgh Baronets, Elizabeth who married Sir Edward Waldo of Harrow, London, and Grace, who married firstly Sir John Bernard, 2nd Baronet, and secondly Thomas Mariet. Character and reputation Historians on the whole have dealt kindly with Keating both as a man and as a judge. The more critical among them, like Elrington Ball, have accused him of clinging to office in an undignified manner, and the Cavenagh case shows that he could be stern enough when he thought there was a danger of a felon escaping justice. Yet there is impressive evidence of his good qualities. Duhigg, in a celebrated passage, called him: "the great ornament of the Irish Bench ... a great magistrate who in a slippery or stormy period exercised official station with mild manners and untainted integrity. This great man was calm, patient and humane in the trial of prisoners; clear, laborious and consistent in the discussion of civil suits; faithful to his King and country in the indulgence of political principles; and attached to God in the exercise of Christianity."
