I'd imagine that it is Darby Clowry based on the famous 1908 letter: http://www.clowryfamily.com/clowry-letter-1908-part-2/ Thanks, Trevor -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of michael purcell Sent: 08 March 2012 08:25 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [IRL-CARLOW] NOWLAN, CLOWNY (sic ?CLOWRY), WATTON, ROACH, DELYONS Great find Sue, that will be appreciated, I believe the name should be Darby Clowry. the nearest to Clowny surname that I have seen is a record for Langrish Clownie from Scotland selling land in Fenagh in 1650 to Samuel Watson.
