Greetings to All! It has been some time since my last posting. Just came back from a trip to New Brunswick. Looking through my files I recognize who were the Charles and Patrick Nowlan mentioned in the transcription below (re: ejectment of Charles Nowlan, etc.). Because of the signature first name Charles, they appear to have been descendants of the Ballykealey Nolans of the 1600s. Charles never married but his brother Patrick, the one with the pitchfork, lived on the nearby townland of Clonegath. (see http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Clonegah,+Carlow,+Ireland&hl=en&ll=52.719554,-6.863537&spn=0.027866,0.053387&sll=45.250157,-75.800257&sspn=0.518216,0.455933&oq=Clonegah,+carlow,+ireland&hnear=Clonegah,+County+Carlow,+Ireland&t=m&z=14 for map of the area discussed in the transcription and in what I present below; this is essentially an area west of the Fenagh crossroad).
