The Guinness family is an extensive Irish family known for its accomplishments in brewing, banking, politics, and religious ministry. The brewing branch is particularly well known among the general public for producing the
dry stout
Guinness Beer .
[2] The founder of the dynasty,
Arthur Guinness , is confirmed to have had
McCartan origins.
[3] Beginning in the late 18th century, they became a prominent part of what is known in Ireland as the
Protestant Ascendancy .

Four members of the family in succession held the
UK Parliament constituency of
Southend , which became popularly known as "Guinness-on-Sea".
The "banking line" Guinnesses all descend from Arthur's brother Samuel (1727–1795) who set up as a
goldbeater in Dublin in 1750; his son Richard (1755–1830), a Dublin barrister; and Richard's son
Robert Rundell Guinness who founded
Guinness Mahon in 1836.
