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!
