Nationalist, 15th Nov. 1919. De Valera and the American Indians. "Nay Nay Ong Abe"---meaning "Dressing Feather"---was the designation conferred on Mr. De Valera by the Chippewa Indian Tribe at Spooner, Wisconsin, on his adoption by them as one of their chieftains. The title was once held by a famous chief of the tribe who secured for them their rights under the treaty of 1854. Describing the adoption ceremony, with its interpolated series of Indian dances, an "Irish World" report says :--- Chief Billy Boy resplendent in a head dress of feathers reaching his ankles, greeted De Valera in Chippewa. Billy Boy was followed by Joe Kingfisher, the headsman of the tribe. Kingfisher, who presented the Irish leader with a handsome beaded tobacco pouch and moccasins, expressed a poetic sentiment as he tendered the gifts; I wish I were able to give you the prettiest blossom of the fairest flower on earth for you come to us as a representative of one oppressed nation to another. Chief Billy Boy then invested Mr. De Valera with his new name and informed him of his adoption by the Chippewa nation. Mr. De Valera accepted the head-dress and signifying he wished to speak, the music ceased and he talked in Gaelic. " I speak to you in Gaelic" he said reverting to English, "because I want to show you that , though I am white, I am not of the English race. We, like you, are a people who have suffered , and I feel for you a sympathy that comes only from one who can understand as we Irishmen can. You say you are not free. Neither are we free and I sympathise with you because we are making a similar fight. As a boy I read and understood of your slavery and longed to become one of you." Mr. De Valera then told the red men how Ireland had been oppressed by England for 750 years. "I call on you, the truest of all Americans to help us win our struggle for freedom." The Indians listened to his impassioned address with owl-like gravity, but when Ira Isham, the tribe interpreter, translated Mr. De Valera's words into Chippewa they cheered him wildly. The ceremony was preceded by a memorial Mass in the reservation church by Fr. Phillip Gordon, Chippewa priest, for the Indians who died in France during the Great War.

To the Editor of the Carlow Weekly News. 19th Feb. 1863. Sir---I shall feel much obliged if you will allow me, through the medium of your Paper, to express my acknowledgements and thanks , and those of Mr. Pack-Beresford, to the inhabitants of Carlow and its vicinity, for the very kind and flattering reception accorded to us on the marriage of my daughter. I assure you that it has made a deep impression on us all, and that the demonstrations of kindness and respect shown to us on that occasion, will never be effaced from our recollection ---I remain your obedient servant, Robert Clayton-Browne, Browne's Hill, Carlow. (same page). Insubordination in The Workhouse. Michael Walshe, Mary Helighan, Mary Costello and Ellen Esmonde , all inmates of the Workhouse were brought up charged with insubordination. Mr. Kerr , Master of the Workhouse, when sworn deposed. ---At about seven o'clock on Friday night I was informed that there were some of the inmates outside the Workhouse wall. On going out with the schoolmaster, I found Michael Walshe and Mary Helighan outside the gate. On enquiring how they got out , the gate-man told me that Walshe had forced his way out, and then the girl got out. They would not return, although he (the gate-man) desired them frequently. I thought it my duty to lock them up in seperate cells to punish them. At nine o'clock, I gave directions to send over a bed to Mary Helighan, and she would not take it. She threw out the bed clothes. On going over to the cells, these girls, Foster and Esmonde, put their heads out of the window of their dormitory, and commenced to curse in a most frightful manner. I desired them to go to their beds and cease. In a few minutes I was going around the house , when I heard Foster encouraging Heligan to sing, and told her to sing so loud , so she would be heard in Dublin Street. I desired her to stop, and she did, but when pressed by Walshe she commenced again, and finished the song. Several of the old women complained to me that they got no sleep. Several people were congregated about the gate in consequence of the noise. When Walshe heard the noise of the women he commenced battering the cell door with stones. There was no other person in the cell but himself. I attribute the whole blame to the girl Foster. She is out of jail only a week, and when she was coming in the Guardians gave her a great caution. Walshe---On the virture of your oath was it with a stone that I knocked the door ?. Mr. Kerr---There were stones in the cell the next morning. In justice to him , I must say, that he stopped when I asked him., but he made use of very impertinent expressions. Esmonde ---I have nothing to say only I made noise, and it was I who cursed. Judge---Mary Foster, it appears that you are an old offender, and a person who has raised great disturbance in the Workhouse. You may depend upon it, we will not allow this to go any further. We will put you into prison for a month, with hard labour. Walshe, you have been before the barrister, and this is not your first or second offence. We will give you a fortnight in prison with hard labour. Helighan and Esmonde, it is your first offence, and we will send you to prison for a week with hard labour. Drunkenness. John ? was summoned for being drunk on the 7th, 9th, 10th and 11th of the present month and was fined 5 shillings with costs of £1 four shillings, or 48 hours imprisonment.

Carlow Morning Post, Jan 1863. William Curran of Rutland, Carlow summoned John Murphy for stealing his turnips. Mr. Malcomson who appeared for Curran said that Murphy was in the employment of Curran as a daily labourer, and Curran missed turnips from time to time. He was obliged to watch and on this evening he caught this man taking turnips. Curran was obliged to take this case as there was a considerable quantity of turnips taken from him this time back. William Curran stated that this man was in my employment for the last four years, on the 30th December , I went home for my supper and shortly after going home he saw Murphy in his field pulling turnips, he had hold of three of them by the tops, I approached him , he said "Oh Lord, Oh Lord, for a few turnips". Defendant (Murphy) ---I am those eight years in your employment , back and forward, and from that day to this did you ever see me in any robbery ? Curran ---I know I did'nt, you are very lazy at your work. Defendant---I was taking the turnips for my wife and child to eat, and for no other intention. Curran---His wife made no demand on me for wages. I paid his wages whenever it became due. Judge --- You are fined 10 shillings or a fortnight's imprisonment with hard labour.

Hi All! Anyone with Nolan ancestry in the Ballon-Myshall area will cetainly be interested in this early Nolan will (1832) for a Thomas Nolan of Ballon, a seemingly wealthy man with a house and property in Ballon and leaseholds on various lands in the Ballon-Myshall area. I believe that I may be realted to this family of Nolans and I would appreciate hearing from anyone who can identify with any of the Nolans mentioned here or the townland names mentioned. Bye for now, Roger Nowlan (http://nolanfamilies.org ) ****** SUMMARY OF CONTENTS OF WILL ************ In the will dated April 20, 1827, Thomas Nolan of Ballon names Rev. Peter Nowlan of Carlow as executor and, after his death on June 12, 1832, according to his will, his worldly possessions were distributed to 5 sons, Richard, Thomas, Patrick, Michael and John, as follows: 1)Richard received: * his leasehold on lands of Ballinadrum owned by James Leckey *bulloc cows & two horses *the shell of a house to be built on the named lands out of testor's [monies?] 2)Thomas received: *his leasehold on lands in Myshall owned by Mr?/Wm? Baggott *300 Irish pounds being held by Mr?/Wm? Baggott, but which need not be released for another 3 years 3)Patrick received: *his leasehold on lands in "Kiletheen" (?) owned by James Leckey *10 cows, 2 horses *100 Irish pounds now on loan to another son, Michael, (who has up to 4 years to repay the loan) 4)Michael received: *his lands (not a leasehold!), dwelling house aand out offices in Ballon *his stock and merchandise in said house & offices NOTE:Receipt of the above was subject to an annuity of 10 Irish pounds to be paid for life to his wife 5)John received: *his leasehold on lands and premises manged by "the Representatives of the late Rev. James Couran" (sic Rev. James Curran) *his leasehold on lands of "Garryonouge" (?) owned by James O'Brien *his leasehold on lands of "Coneberry" (sic Cunaberry) owned by the late Robert Marshall *14 cows, 2 horses *100 Irish pounds to be paid in 4 years by his son Michael If anyone can shed light on any of the Nolans identified in the will, pleae let me know. NOTE 1: There is no mention in the will of who was younger or older but the order given above is as it appeared in the will. NOTE 2: I believe that the Rev. Peter Nowlan mentioned above as executor was the son of Michael Nowlan and Ann Brennan of Killane born in 1793. His baptismal record of February 14, 1793, gives his parents as a Michael and Judith Nowlan of Killane and his godparents as a james Brennan and an Anne Nowlan. based upon an ind-depth analysis of all baptismal and marriage entries for 1785-1795 it is beleive that the first names of the mother and godmother were switched when entering the information in the parish register. In earlier research I also determined with a high degree of certainty that the assumed father of the rev. Peter Nowlan mentioned above, namely Michael Nowlan married to Ann Brennan, was a brother to my ancestor James Nowlan who married Mary Clowry (née Shortall) in Shortall in 1793. Interestingly enough, supporting the fact that James and Michael were brothers is the fact that the "James Brennan", the assumed godfather of Rev. Peter Nowlan, was also one of the witnesses at my ancestor James' marriage in 1793.

Frances (Heidel), I am picked up on your Email query because I too am wondering about the Curran family. In my research yesterday I came across the name of a "Rev. James Couran" in a will for a Thomas Nolan of Ballon who died in 1832. The Reverend seems to have been the owner of lands for which Thomas held a lease. In any case I did a bit of Internet searching and at http://www.gutenberg.org/files/12111/12111-h/12111-h.htm I found the following: "Henry Grattan (1746-1820), the hero of Grattan's parliament, was born in Dublin and studied at Trinity College. His history belongs to that of his country. Suffice it here to say that not only did he by great eloquence and real statesmanship secure a free parliament for Ireland In 1782, but also that he fought energetically, if unavailingly, against the abolition of that parliament in 1800, and that thenceforward he devoted his abilities to promoting the cause of Catholic emancipation. Dying in London, he was honored by being buried in Westminster Abbey. In an age of great orators he stands out among the very foremost. His speeches have become classics, and are constantly quoted. Another brilliant Irish orator, as well as an eminent wit, of this period, was John Philpot Curran (1750-1817), who, born at Newmarket, Co. Cork, and educated at Trinity College, Dublin, achieved a wonderful success at the Irish bar. He defended with rare insight, eloquence, and patriotism those who were accused of complicity in the rebellion of 1798. As a member of Grattan's parliament, he voiced the most liberal principles, and, though a Protestant himself, he worked hard in the Catholic cause. He held the great office of Master of the Rolls in Ireland from 1806 to 1814. The memory of few Irish orators, wits, or patriots is greener today than that of Curran. His daughter Sarah, whose fate is so inextricably blended with that of the ill-starred Robert Emmet, has been rendered immortal by Moore in his beautiful song, "She is far from the land where her young hero sleeps". Perhaps others can comment.
