Barb, In doing a search today at "worldvitalrecords.com" I just happened to hit upon a record of interest. It relates to a 1775 memorial for a James CORR, Ballytobin, Co. Kilkenny. The interesting part are the witnesses mentioned: Robert Lawler, Carlow, weaver Thomas Lawler, Carlow, weaver James Lawler, Leighlinbridge, land surveyor.
