Fantastic article. Again, thanks for these wonderful articles. I am getting through a backlog of emails since late March, so apologies if I am responding late. I have never seen a George Clowry mentioned to date and will try and find more about him. I hope to try and link up all of the Clowry PPP documents soon and will give a file to Michael Brennan to put onto the website.

Trevor, I believe that George Clowry of Pollerton may have been a brother of Jeremiah "Darby" Clowry (shot by “Rebels” in 1800) who lived in the Kilkey/Ballybrommell arheea in 1798. The "James Nowlan of Ballon, farmer" [RN: of Kilkey/Killane are] also mentioned in the transcript may have been my ancestor who married the widow of "James Clowry", Mary Shortall, in 1793 in the Ballon church and lived in the Kilkey/Killane area in the 1790s. The way I see it my James, being married to a Clowry widow, may have assumed the custodianship of the deceased James Clowry’s farm, and may have had Clowry stepsons, possibly one also named Darby. In the circumstances described, my ancestor James Nowlan would therefore have been a candidate to approach for a surety for a "step"-nephew of Pollerton. The John Clowry of Kylemaglush also mentioned in the sureties may have been yet another brother of Darby Clowry. In any case, if anything else, the transcript serves to make a link between Pollerton (where George Clowry and sons lived) and the Kilkey/Killane area where Darby Clowry lived, providing supporting evidence that George and Darby Clowry were related, most likely as brothers. A more remote possibility for James Nowlan of Ballon, farmer, would be James Nowlan of Tinnaclash who is known to have been leasing farm land in the Bendinstown area, just north of the Kilknock townland, in 1785. Bye for now, Roger http://nolanfamilies.org P.S. A another potential connection with the Kilkey/Ballybrommell area (near Killane and Raheenkillane which are townlands on the other side of the river Burren) is the profession of George Clowry of Pollerton, namely “Tanner and Dealer in Leather”. Recall that, in March 1800, when Farmer Clowry was shot the family and their dairy barn burnt the family had a large herd of cows. Could the cowhides used by George Clowry have come from Darby Clowry’s farm? Already before the fire? After the fire? A conjecture, hard if not impossible to prove, would be that, as a result of the barn fire in Ballybrommell in March 1800 the dairy herd had to be culled providing ample material (cowhides) for George Clowry to be a “Tanner and Dealer in Leather” in Pollerton in 1801. -----Original Message----- From: Trevor Clowry Sent: Monday, May 07, 2012 7:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [IRL-CARLOW] 1801, Clowry+Nowlan+Ryan.
