Noel, For discussion purposes here is what I make of the content of the 1850 letter. In October 1850, the Nolan widow was writing from Kilkenny to her son Patrick (Patt) in Providence, Rhode Island, and had one son remaining at home, namely Richard or “Dickey” (probably the youngest and hence more of a burden for someone elese to assume). Two older but still relatively young children, namely John and Joseph, were, for now, living with an uncle John (Nolan?) until such time as the mother could send for them when she made it to America. The previous June she had written to her other son James also in America. He had promised to bring over his two younger brothers John and Joseph living with uncle John (Nolan?). However, she had not heard from him since and was wondering if he was living with Patt in Providence. She was also pleading for help to move to America. Bye for now, Roger PS#1: Here is a tentative overview of the Nolan family in 1850: >> ???? Nolan (deceased) m. ???? ???? >>>> James in America >>>> Patrick in America >>>> John living with uncle John >>>> Joseph living with uncle John >>>> Richard living with the mother PS#2: Take a look at the following Nolan family for a possible connection: http://www.nolanfamilies.org/index.php?country_id=2&region_id=3#415 .

I hope God will reward you for it. The day it come, I was without one bite to eat. Dickey's 8 weeks in bed, without a stitch on him, and my petticoat and coat's all pawned. Dear Patt, we've no place to lay our heads. We were lodging under James Street arch, but were put out of it. Then a few nights up in the Sconce, still without a bite. We'd be dead long ago, only for two neighbors that often gives me a bite, for God's sake. Little ever I thought it'd come my turn to beg. No more would I beg, only for your father's death. But thanks bit of God, whatever me or his child here is suffering, your father died and was buried the way he lived: respectable and decent. Dear Patt, I've had not a penny. The blankets, bed and boots of my feet was pawned. You can't know how we're suffering unless you were in starvation and want, without friend or fellow to give you a shilling, then you'd know. But on my two bended knees, Patt, fresh and fasting, I pray to God that you nor none of yours may ever know, nor ever suffer, what we are suffering now. Uncle John said he'd keep little John and Joseph until I write from America for them. I wrote to James and he promised to take them out last June and never wrote us since. Send word if he's in Providence with you. If he be in Providence, tell him that poor little Dickey longs both night and morning to see you and James. The poor child says he'd not be hungry if he was near you. Oh Patt, hurry and take us out of this. It's the poorest prospect of a winter that ever I had, without house or homefire, friend nor fellow nor bit of food to eat. That's my prospects. For the love of God, dear Patt, bring me and little Dickey out of this, as quick as you can. I pray that God's Holy Spirit be with you all. You promised to take us out. Your loving mother until death. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Owen and Eugene were used almost interchangeably, like Darby and Jeremiah; Bridget and Delia or Bedelia. Owen/Eugene is a common name used in the Carlow Cummins families, from the same root Eoghan.

Hi All! A few comments on the Nolan tenants of the Lucas Estate in 18??! I note in particular the names and rents for: Anty Nolan, 4 Pounds.. (RN: large amount implying the leasing of 100s of acres) Thomas Nolan, 1 pound 4 shillings. (RN: likely a son of “Anty”) I believe that "Anty" was a nickname for “Anastasia” and that she was the widow of Garrett Nowlan who, in 1793, was married to Anastasia Hennessey and living on the Kilkey townland when they had their son Daniel baptized in the Ballon church. >From church records in Canada, we also know that Garrett and Anastasia had a son named Patrick Nolan who married Ellen Brophy in St. Mary's Catholic Church in Halifax in 1834. I believe that Anty was a nickname for "Anastasia" and, from the tombstone in the old Ballon cemetery, reading as follows: " ????? 1753? ??? May they rest in peace And also his son Garrett Nowlan who dep'd this life August? ?? ???? Also his wife Anne Nowlan alias ???? who departed this life May the 3rd? 1838? Aged ?? years " it seems that Anastasia Hennessey died in the 1830s, most likely in 1833, i.e. the year before her son Patrick married in Nova Scotia in 1834, her husband Garrett having preceded her. If I am correct in my assumptions so far then the date of the original transcribed document would be sometime before 1833. **** NOTA BENE ****** Reviewing the above-mentioned tombstone inscription I note a strange coincidence in the appearance of the year "1753" on the tombstone which, as we shall soon see, is very significant in terms of Ballykealey Nolan history. Less than 2 years ago, from one of the PPP transcriptions posted by Michael Purcell, it was established that a Peter Nowlan of Ballykealey had been arrested for treason in 1744. On my side, from a “snippet” view of a page 188 of ... ,previously found on the Internet, I knew that the last known Nolan chief residing at Ballykealey had been hung at Clonmel in 1745. Since then I have obtained the “full reference text” for page 188 taken from the following article: " The Early Cullen Family’, in Reportorium Novum, Volume: 1, Year: 1958, pages 185-198 (by Padraig MacSuibhne) Ir 27413 r3 " >From the full text we learn that 1753 was indeed a significant year for the Nolans of Ballykealey, it being the year in which, according to local tradition, moved to the Killane area. To link this finding about 1753 to our earlier discussion on Garrett Nowlan of Kilkey and the inscription on his tombstone in the old Ballon cemetyery, it helps to know that the Kilkey townland where Garrett and Anastasia lived is essentially across the river Burren from the Killane townland, the place to which, according to local tradition, the Ballykealey Nolans moved. In any case, without further ado, following is reproduced the relevant section from the Reportorion Novum reference given above: " The chief of the O Nolans lived at Ballykealey; the last of these chiefs was hanged at Clonmel in 1745 on a charge of high treason for his sympathy with the Jacobite cause: he was an officer in the Irish Brigade. The O Nolans left Ballykealey in 1753 and went to Killane, an adjoining townland in the Burrenside area; here in all probability Judith Cullen was married to Nolan, uncle of Bishop Nolan, for there are three families who trace their relationship both to Bishop Nolan and Cardinal Cullen, and their origin to Killane on the Burrenside. (Names of Persons given as references by Father MacSuibhne in 1978) Messrs. T.P. Hayden, Killeshin, Carlow, who has preserved these traditions, Terence Cummins, Kilnock, and Hugh Nolan, son of the late Paul Nolan, Muinebeag. " ************************************** To summarize, I believe that the Nolans of Ballyknockan in 183? identified in the transcription were descendants of the Ballykealey Nolans and that a death in the family in 1753 likely precipated the family's departure from Ballykealey. Does anyone know of any other major event in the Ballon area in 1753? Bye for now! Comments welcomed!
