My line of Joynts is said to be related or descended from the same line as the following Wm. Lane Joynt. Extensive record searches have shown no proven relationship. We have turned to DNA to hopefully prove or disprove this long standing family rumor and are looking for any male descendants of this line (or others who think they are of this line) to take the DNA test, please, please, please! This line consisted of prominent Protestants and my proven line consisted of Catholic farmers.

WM LANE JOYNT, D.L. We deeply regret to have to announce the death of Mr. William Lane Joynt, D.L. which took place at his residence, 43 Merrion Square, Dublin, on the 3rd instant. During his early career, Mr. Lane-Joynt was a prominent citizen of this, his native city. Born in 1824, he became apprenticed as a solicitor to the late Sir Matthew Barrington in Dublin, but returned on the completion of his indenture and worked at his porfession here. He soon distinguished himself by successfully setting up the salmon weirs on the Lower Shannon on the point which he raised, that the foreshore, to which the weirs are attached, belongs to, and is in the possession of the landlord. The celebrated case of O'Brien v. White, by which it is decided that crag farms, incapbable of being tilled, were excluded from the Land Acts, also owes its existence to his professional keeness and ability. Up to 1886 Mr. Lane-Joynt was a strong Liberal in politics. For several years he was chief electioneering agent of that party in this country, and conducted the elections of his Johh Gray in Monaghan, Colonel Luke White in the County Dublin and Col. Chas. White in Tipperary. In 1856 Colonel Henry White, afterwards Baron Annaly, appointed Mr. Lane-Joynt his agent, and as such he purchased and sold estate to the value of over half a millon of money for his principal in the counties Clare, Limerick, Tipperary and Meath. Baron Annaly on his death in 1873 showed his appreciation of Mr. Joynt's services and his regard for him by leaving him an annuity of £1,000 for his life. During his residence in this city, Mr. Lane-Joynt took a prominent part in public affairs. He was one of the founders of the Anthenaeum, and collected the principal amount of the money for its building and endowment. He filled the office of Clerk of the Crown for the city for some 12 years, previous to 1869, only resigning it on his appointment as Crown and Treasury Solicitor in Ireland. He also acted for many years as Law Agent to the Corporation, and was successively elected an Alderman of the Abbey Ward, a member of the Harbour Board and was Mayor in 1862. During his Mayoralty Lord Carlisle, the then Viceroy, visited the great Agricultural Show in this city and on that occasion Mr. Lane-Joynt was offered a knighthood, an honour which he, however, declined. Together with other provisional Mayors of this year he was appointed a trustee of the Daniel O'Connell Memorial, and was one of the few who had the satisfaction of seeing this National tribute completed in a manner worthy of our great countryman. In the following year, 1863, Mr. Lane-Joynt removed to Dublin, but throught his whole life he continued to take a deep interest in the affairs of his native city. Elected in 1864 Councillor and subsequently Alderman, for the Rotunda Ward, he became Lord Mayor in 1867, being one of the very few public men who have gained the double honour. As Lord Mayor he went as a special delegate from Ireland to the Great International Exhibition at Paris, where the Legion of Honour was offered to him by Napoleon III. For several years he was one of the Port and Docks Board, and also a member of the Board of Irish Lights. It was owing to his influence wity this Board that the lighthouse at the entrance to Kilronan Harbour in the Islands of Arran was erected. Through the friendship of Henry Baron Annaly, ans his son, Col. Charles Wm. White, he obtained in 1860, the appointment of Crown and Treasury Solicitor in Ireland, the highest position in this country to which a solicitor could attain, and filled that office until its abolition in 1887. As a land agent, Mr. Lane-Joynt was always on friendly terms with the tenants with whom he came in contact, and it was at his suggestion that the late Col. Charles White, with a noble generosity, provided his tenantry and the public on his Ballyvaughan estate, in the County of Clare, with a fresh water supply, at a cost of upwards of £2,500. Mr. Lane-Joynt always took a deep interest in literature. He was vice-president of the Association of Librarians, and it was mainly through his exertions that the public were lately presented with a complete edition of the works of our National poet, Denis Florence McCarthy. In our local Free Library, Mr. Joynt also took the keenest interest and presented it with valuable books. Mr. Joynt's knowledge of our western coast, and the needs of its fishing population,especially qualified him to act upon the Mansion House Relief of Districts Committee of 1881, and it was through him and his fellow citizen, Alderman Hugh Tarpey, that the residue of that Fund was applied in the erection of place and landing slips at some of the most unprotected and dangerous fishing centres on our Atlantic coast where he will always be remembered as the fisherman's friend. More recently he turned his attention to the development of the Irish Tourist Traffic, and indeed it may well be said that during his long life there was hardly a movement of importance connected with the prosperity of this country, of which he was not a serious advocate. Mr. Lane Joynt served often on the Grand Jury of this county, and also of Clare, but of recent years he suffered severely from bronchitis, and had been obliged to winter abroad. On the 9th of December he met with an accident whilse unloading a small revolver, which, unknown to him, had got out of order, and which injured the little finger, and necessitated a small operation. He was attended by his physician, Dr. Lennor, and his old friend Surgeon Thomas Myles of Harcourt-street, another Limerick man. Satisfactory progress was made under their care, but in the last few days, owing to his enfeebled constitution and advanced years, complications set in, his lungs and heart became affected, and he gradually sank, passing peacefully away surrounded by his family on Thursday evening. Mr. Lane-Joynt will always be remembered as a brilliant speaker, humorous and good humored, having the happy knack of carrying his audience with him and saying the right thing at the right time. He will be regretted by a host of friends, many of whom will remember, and apply to him, the lines which he used at the unveiling of the statue of his old friend, the late Sir John Gray - "To live in hearts we leave behind Is not to die." Funeral wil leave Limerick Terminus at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, for St. John's Church. Limerick Leader, Jan 4, 1895 DEATH OF MR. WILLIAM LANE JOYNT, D.L. The Irish Times to-day has the following: - "We deeply regret to announce the death of Mr. Wm. Lane Joynt, D.L., which has taken place at his residence, Merrion-square, East. Mr. Joynt had been in failing health for some time, though very recently he attended a public meeting at the Mansion House, and spoke with sympathy and effect on the proposal for a testimonial to his friend, Sir Robert Stewart. Mr. Joynt, throughout his career in Limerick and in Dublin, was a useful citizen, ever ready to give his help to any patriotic and useful work. His high intelligence, large reading, literary gifts, and eloquence were often exhibited, and were admited by his countrymen. As a land agent and eminent solicitor, and as a public offender, he earned general respect, and was characterised by a comspicuous love of justice and a charitable disposition that was greatly appreciated. He served as Lord Mayor of Dublin in 1867, and filled the office with dignity to the public advantage. Mr. Joynt was a Deputy Lieutenant of the City of Dublin, and held the highest place in the esteem of its magistracy as of his fellow-citizens" Mr. Joynt, we may add, was a native of Limerick, and never forgot the fact. He served his apprenticeship as solicitor to Sir Matthew Barrington, and aftewards held a lucrative practice in Limerick. He was a thorough friend to the trades of Limerick, his connection with them lasting back to his boyhood, for when a mere lad he was found lecturing in the Mechanics' Institute and assisting the trades in every possible way he could to improve their social status. Although a Protestant he was assisted by the late Most Rev. Dr. Ryan when he sought to enter the Council. He effected good service in the Corporation and was subsequently made Mayor. He held several important agencies and was Clerk of the Crown and Peace, before he removed from Limerick to Dublin, and attended a Levee in the dual capacity of mayor and Clerk of the Crown. He led up to some time ago the position of Crown and Treasury Solicitor. The deceased, as we stated, was most anxious to promote the welfare of Limerick. He was one of the promoters of the Anthenaeum, and in every other way was ready to assist any good movement tending to benefit the city.

Hello Listers, On the 1911 Census for Dublin there appears a Mellows family; John Mellows, his Wife Margaret and three children; John George, William Francis and James Joseph. John's age is given as 27 - giving an approximate birth date of 1883. Can anyone tell me if Irish Censuses earlier than the 1911 are available and, if so, where?

SNIPPETS: The famous Ardagh Chalice, four brooches and a bronze cup were discovered in 1868 in an ancient ring fort at Ardagh, a small village seven miles west of Rathkeale, Co. Limerick. The chalice, dating from the 8th or 9th century, is a perfectly proportioned two-handled cup seven inches high, wrought of gold, silver and bronze, with rich settings of enamel, amber, glass and crystal. This outstanding example of Irish ecclesiastical metal-work is preserved in the National Museum, Dublin. Cahermoyle House is 1-1/2 miles north of Ardagh, a novitiate of the Oblate Fathers. The present building, dating from 1871, incorporates much of the previous house, which was the residence of Wm. Smith O'BRIEN (1803-64), "Young Ireland" leader. His daughter, Charlotte Grace O'BRIEN, (1845-1900), a noted writer and social worker, was born at Cahermoyle. Miss O'BRIEN did much to improve the awful conditions to which Irish emigrants were subjected aboard the emigrants ships and at the ports of departure and arrival. She also took an active part in the Irish language revival. Adare (The Ford of the Oak Tree) is a pretty village - an old-world place of quaint thatched cottages and lichened medieval churches set in wooded surroundings on the west bank of the Maigue, where the main Limerick-Killarney road crosses that river. Little is known of the early history of the ancient town of Adare which stood near a castle on the east bank of the river. The Anglo-Normans occupied it during the reign of HENRY II and in the following (13th) century it became the property of the FITZGERALDs, EARLS of KILDARE. The town was incorporated in the 14th century, when a grant was made for the erection of walls. It was frequently a storm centre in later times, down to the 17th century. Five miles west of Adare, was the birthplace and home of Aubrey DE VERE (1814-1902) poet and author: "Human Life: Sad is our youth, for it is ever going/Crumbling away beneath our very feet/Sad is our life, for onward it is flowing/In current unperceived because so fleet/Sad are our hopes, for they were sweet in sowing/But tares, self-sown, have overtopped the wheat/Sad are our joys, for they were sweet in blowing/And still, O still, their dying breath is sweet/And sweet is youth, although it hath bereft us/ Of that which made our childhood sweeter still/And sweet our life's decline, for it hath left us/A nearer Good to cure and older Ill/And sweet are all things, when we learn to prize them/Not for their sake, but His who grants them or denies them." The demesne is one of the finest in Ireland. The house, erected early in the 18th century but substantially altered in 1833, was accidentally destroyed by fire in 1941, when many valuable art works, antiques and objects of historic interest were also lost. The district around Adare and Rathkeale was long known a the Palatine because early in the 18th century it was settled with a colony of German refugees who had been driven from the Palatinate by the French. Brought to Ireland at public expense, they were given leases on generous terms, and up to late in the 19th century had successfully preserved many of their national customs. Rathkeale, is a market town on the River Deel, in the dairy-farming district of west Limerick. The town and district formed part of the possession of the EARLS of DESMOND, who erected castles here to guard the passage of the river. In 1580 English troops, marching to meet the Spanish force then entrenched at Smerwick Harbour (Co. Kerry), were assembled at Rathkeale, the defence of which was committed to Capt. (later Sir) Walter RALEIGH. The town was disfranchised by CROMWELL in the 17th century for refusing to provision his army during its Munster campaign. In the town are the ruins of St. Mary's Priory, a 13th century Augustinian foundation. The 150-foot tower of the Catholic church, a fine Gothic style building in Thomas Street, is a noted landmark. The ruins of Ballyallinan Castle, an old stronghold of the O'HALLINANs, is four miles south of the town. The most common surnames in Rathkeale in 1851-2 were CASEY, BROWNE, FITZGERALD, KELLY, McDONNELL, DELMEGE, KEATING, WALSH, HAYES and McCARTHY. ------------------------------

YOU BRAVE IRISH HEROES You brave Irish heroes wherever you be, I pray stand a moment and listen to me, Your sons and fair daughters are now going away, And thousands are sailing to Americay. So good luck to those people and safe may they land, They are leaving their country for a far distant strand, They are leaving old Ireland, no longer can stay, And thousands are sailing to Americay. The night before leaving they are bidding goodbye, And it's early next morning their heart gives a sigh, They do kiss their mothers and then they will say 'Farewell, dear old father, we must now go away.' Their friends and relations and neighbours also, When the trunks are all packed up, all ready to go, O the tears from their eyes they fall down like the rain, And the horses are prancing, going off for the train.

Hi Listers -- My sister and I had the time of our lives for a month in Ireland - her treat! (Our first time there). We initially took a marvelous two-week guided Globus coach (bus) tour and then spent a week based in Limerick and a week in Dublin independently. We opted not to drive in Ireland, got around with taxis or on foot. Several e-mail friends generously offered to come and pick us up where we were staying to take us out for a day and show us the sights. Those days were extra special for us, as you can imagine! We found the Irish people to be exceptionally friendly and fun-loving. Everyone we encountered was trim. People on the street dressed very casually, had on "sensible" shoes, saved "dressing up" for the evenings out. My sister and I were exhausted by 9 p.m., so we saw very little in the way of pubs. We did get our fill of Irish music from Jury's Hotel Ballsbridge (Dublin) terrific Cabaret show and an excellent "Riverdance" matinee, etc. We especially enjoyed visiting with the elderly. In Northern Ireland, Peter HUTTON was enjoying the unseasonably warm weather with his dog Tyson. He seemed delighted to have someone to talk to, claimed to be in his 90s and said he lived on Abercorn Rd, Derry City. Another darling gentleman was Terrence BOYLAN, who we found seated on a rock wall near where the poet William Butler YEATS is buried at Drumcliff, Co. Sligo, his loyal dog "Rover" at his feet. I believe Mr. BOYLAN was in his 80s. I asked him if he knew where Drumshanbo, Co. Leitrim was, where my redheaded Catholic Irish FORD/FORDE's came from. He said it was nearby. We took their names and addresses and have sent along their promised photographs. We did not have any trouble understanding the Irish speaking English in our travels unless they spoke rapidly. One darling elderly lady whose surname was MURPHY (who we spoke to in a tea room) had to repeat her surname three times before we caught it. She had just a little different way of pronouncing it. Can't remember what little village we were in, at that time. She graciously allowed us to take her picture, too. I discovered I was mispronouncing many places I had read about, such as the Cliffs of Moher (pron. "more.") and Fermanagh (pron. "fermagh"). Donegal is prounced Don-e-GALL, with the final syllable said louder and on a higher note. We visited wonderful museums and great houses. Enjoyed so much the thatched cottages, although found the burning peat a bit strong. Ireland's scenery is breathtaking, and because the culture is so ancient there is something interesting to see around every corner! That, together with the Irish peoples genuine friendliness, made our whole Ireland experience the trip of a lifetime! We caught a "Riverdance" matinee at the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin, which was excellent! Interestingly, the last half of the show included dancers and singers from other cultures, such as Spain, etc., and there was a wonderful tap dancing "duel" between the Irish step dancers and two marvelous African-American tap dancers! We also enjoyed an all-Gaelic production about the Blasket islands on our tour. The programme gave us all we needed to know about the story line, and the acting and music was superb! We didn't attempt to visit any islands except for a very short and calm trip to Garinish Island with its lovely tropical plants. In fact, we saw many palm trees growing in moderate-climate Ireland! We nearly were run over twice in Dublin. Pedestrians need to watch what they are doing. Some of the streets had very helpful directions painted on or near the curb for pedestrians advising them which direction (right or left) to look first before crossing. My sis and I also locked arms and watched where we walked all the time in Ireland, as there seemed to a step where you would least expect it inside buildings and outside where one could turn an ankle. In Dublin we walked down to see the very moving famine statues near the Custom House. We also visited factories such as Beleek's pottery in Co. Fermanagh where I purchased a darling bunny for a daughter's collection. I also bought some lovely gemstone earrings as gifts at the Connemara Marble Industries in Moycullen, Co. Galway. My sis and I also chose matching necklaces at Waterford Crystal Co., darling little old-fashioned "pocketbooks" made with shiny crystals. The skill and precision of the craftsmen in Ireland is mind-boggling. They must all have excellent eyesight, you rarely found any older worker wearing eye glasses. As part of the tour we went to a sheep-shearing farm and also to a cookery school where the lovely young Irish chef invited two fellows on the tour to make scones with her. Must have been the "luck of the Irish" in the air that day, as they turned out delicious! Her home and her grounds were beautiful. She epitomized Ireland's beautiful, feminine, soft-spoken and gracious women. Oddly enough, I spotted Everett, WA-based Rick Steves in a bar on the Dingle Peninsula; I recognized the back of his head from watching all his Ireland travel documentaries on television! He was kind enough to pose for a picture. I told him that his guide book at been our "bible." We took an independent local one-day bus tour to the Rock of Cashel in Co. Tipperary from Limerick city where St. Patrick actually had christianized a King of Ireland - a site not to be missed! While in Limerick, we went on the "Frank McCourt tour," where a guide took us around to the places mentioned in the author's lovely memoir, "Angela's Ashes." Visited beautiful Muckross House in Killarney National Park and the beautiful gardens. Queen Victoria slept there on a visit to Ireland. Enjoyed a jaunting car ride in the rain through Killarney National Park on the only day it rained the whole month we were there. We couldn't have cared less, just popped open our umbrellas; the rain made the experience even more "Irish." Ireland was so green and the air so fresh! Speaking of gardens, Powerscourt in Co. Wicklow is one of the most world-famous formal gardens and rightly so! Not to be missed! An e-mail friend took us to the Rathmines Writers (poetry) workshop where they were surprised that I was familiar with some of their names and their poetry. It was a very special evening. Earlier, she had invited us to have lunch in her flat and, because I happened to mention that my mother used to cook up rhubarb for us when we were growing up, she surprised us with a wonderful homemade rhubarb and custard dessert. That is just one example of the Irish going out of their way to make certain we enjoyed our trip. She had also amassed literature and photographs of Co. Leitrim, where our respective kin had grown up likely knowing each other! On the last day of the guided bus tour I managed to faint briefly and scare my sister at the Knappogue medieval dinner. Must have been the combination of the mead, wine, and fatigue from keeping on the go! No repercussions. Doctor in audience did check me for any signs of a transient ischemic attack, though, given my age. Overall, we experienced 99% of the places I had longed to see in a month of glorious activity!

BALLINA CHRONICLE Ballina, Co. Mayo Wednesday, October 16, 1850 WORKHOUSE ACCOMMODATION The consideration of the propriety of closing the Auxiliary Workhouse in this Union was postponed until the Guardians have the benefit of the advice of Captain Hamilton, the Union Inspector, in this matter. The Poor Law Commissioners have suggested, in a letter to the Board of Guardians, which appears in our report of their proceedings on Saturday, "whether it may not be judicious to retain all or some of the auxiliary workhouses as they may be again required during the ensuing winter when largely increased rents might be demanded for them." We wonder were the Commissioners aware of the piece of information on this subject which we laid out before our readers last week when they wrote, or rather directed the writing of the foregoing suggestive sentence? Were they aware that there then were only 493 inmates in the Union Workhouse, which can conveniently accommodate 1800 in case of a temporary pressure, and that in two auxiliaries there were 775, making a total of a third less than the main house could easily contain? Were they aware that of this number 163 belong to other unions, and will soon be removed? And were they aware of the weekly decrease in the number which has been, and is still going on, when they suggested the judiciousness of retaining those expensive and now useless houses? On last Saturday the numbers stood thus: - Union House, .......................490, White's Auxiliary...................656, Joynt's.................................. 89, Total...................1235 When we deduct this 139 belonging to the West and Killala Unions we have a number at least 600 less than that which the Union house is capable of accommodating. Then if we allow a further decrease of 200, which is not unreasonable, before the severity of winter sets in, we will have room for 800 when the apprehended pressure comes; and if any one of the guardians can conscientiously say, with the present population of the union, decimated as it has been by famine, sickness, and emigration, that an auxiliary house still be necessary, we at once will submit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sir William Somerville, accompanied by Dr. Toher, arrived in this town on Thursday, on his way from Belmullet, and put up at the Royal Mall Hotel. Sir William visited the Workhouse, and expressed himself highly gratified with the neat and orderly appearance of the entire establishment. He left here for Sligo on Friday. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FARMS TO BE LET TO BE LET, ON THE LANDS OF GLENEASKE, in the Parish of Kilmatigue, Barony of Lyney, and County of Sligo, several FARMS of from TEN to TWENTY ACRES, each, at very reduced rents, each Farm having a good Dwelling House on it, for which no extra rent will be charged. Application to be made to Mr. JAMES DONOHOE, Steward, at the Lodge, Gleneaske. GLENEASKE, Sept. 30, 1850 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROYAL MAIL HOTEL KNOX'S STREET, BALLINA TO, TRAVELLERS, TOURISTS, &c., &c. I BEG respectfully to acquaint the numerous friends and patrons of my Establishment, that the period of NICHOLAS FLYNN'S engagement with me, as my waiter, has expired, and that I have dispensed with his services. My principal reason for bringing this subject under notice is to prevent mistakes being made, as I understand it is his intention to open a Hotel convenient to mine. I take leave also to assure any old and well-tried supporters that no exertion which I can bring to bear in the furtherance of their comfort shall be wanting, and that all my energies will be exerted in securing that degree of public confidence which I gratefully acknowledge at all times to have received. I have secured the services of an experienced and attentive waiter, whose constant care and study it will be to be attentive and obliging to those who may patronise me. THOMAS ANDERSON Royal Mall Hotel, Ballina, October 1st, 1850. Cathy Joynt Labath Ireland Old News http://www.IrelandOldNews.com/

LOVE OF THE HORSE With narrowed eyes they judged the field He informed, the Grey's sire, was a great mover. She remarked, The Chestnut's dam had a sweet mouth. Red, yellow, blue, racing silks of every hue, rippled in the sunlight across the flickering screen. Around the room lay tarnished trophies. Walls, a mosaic of photographs of mares and foals. Room corners holding drifts of magazines and books, listing bloodlines. Stating what sires were standing where, and for how much. The crumbling mansion, revealing that for long years past, every spare hundred was spent on Chestnuts, Greys, Roans, Bays, and they regretted not one penny. -- Barbara Diamond, "The Leitrim Guardian"
