Hi, The correct URL for Relative Genetics is www.relativegenetics.com. I left out the first dot. Colleen

Hi, Are there any references to Fitzpatricks in the Anglo-Celt transcriptions? I tuned in a little late, and do not know if there is a database that someone has to do look ups. If I could just have the reference, that would help, too. Colleen

Thank you for these Anglo Celt transcriptions! Hard to believe after so long, but I found reference to Peter Clerkin of Belturbet, finally my great-great-grandfather!! This family has been so elusive for so long, I now at least have a clue, although not much to go on, I will persevere! Thank you again for all you hard work and for sharing.

ANGLO-CELT MAY 11, 1854 CAVAN PETTY SESSIONS--Monday, May 8. Before John DOPPING, Esq., R.M., Wm. SMITH, Esq., and Theophilus THOMPSON, Esq. THE LAST CHARGE Peter REILLY a. Mathew BLAKELY A charge of keeping a furious dog, which bit complainant in the streets of Stradone on Saturday week. He demanded that the dog be destroyed. Constable BRENNAN proved the dangerous character of the dog, and that he actually comes into the barracks to make his charges. It was ordered that the police destroy the dog, but Mr. BLAKELY said he would save them the trouble by destroying him himself. THE END OF THE FRACAS. Edward FINLAY a. Michael MAGUIRE. A charge of assault on complainant, the porter of Cavan workhouse, on Tuesday last; the particulars were given in our last paper. The defendant expressed his regret for what had occurred, and said that he had in leaving the child in the poorhouse only done what the magistrates at Arva ordered him to do. Mr. DOPPING denied that such a course was prescribed to the defendant at Arva, but Mr. William HAMILTON, solicitor, who was appealed to be defendant, corroborated him in his assertion, stating that it was on an occasion when Mr. DOPPING was absent. The clerk stated, on behalf of Mr. P. CAFFREY, who had given a certificate that a certain decree pronounced by the case by the Assistant Barrister was final, so as to leave no future burden on MAGUIRE, that the certificate was not given to MAGUIRE as any defence for himself before the board of guardians, but simply as a record of the decree pronounced in the case. The bench were unanimous in finding defendant 2l. and Mr. THOMPSON remarked that but for the contrition expressed by defendant the fine should be five not two pounds. RECIPROCAL COURTESY JONES a. GYLLEN Complainant and defendant were two married women, living in Butlers- bridge, both of whom were most unanimous in villifying each other, calling names, &c., &c. Defendant was asked if she was let go would she again scold complainant? GYLLEN--No, your worship, she's worth passing. The complaint was then dismissed. QUITE ACCIDENTALLY The Guardians of the Cavan Union a. Ellen REILLY Defendant broke windows in the workhouse. She stated she had been in the lock-up, and getting out if she was in a passion, and taking the scouring-brush in her hand she got a trip, when the brush, falling against the window, broke four panes. This was all. Sentenced to ten days imprisonment. Defendant thanking their worship withdrew. A QUARTER'S WORK Isabella CAMPBELL a. Edward Lennox SLOANE Complainant stated that she took two pieces from defendant to sprig, for which, if they were done well, she was to get 7s. 4d., but on producing them was only offered 8d. Mr. SLOANE was asked where was the piece? Mr. SLOANE--In my office, your worship. Mr. SMITH--Go get them. Mr. SLOANE--Will you let me ask her a question? Mr. SMITH--No; go and bring the piece. He went accordingly, and having produced the piece. Complainant stated that Mr. SLOANE told her before he saw the work that she should not get much money. Cross-examined by Mr. SLOANE--Did work for him before; does not remember him saying that he could not give her work as she did it so badly; remembers being told to give back undone the work she had as yet unfinished. To the Bench--Witness had the two pieces in her hand when Mr. SLOANE said he would give her only 8d. Mary Anne CAMPBELL is plaintiff's sister; was present when the work was handed in, and remembers Mr. SLOANE saying he would give little money for it before he saw the work. Mr. SLOANE could only expect to get rough work, because witness had told him to give none but rough work to her to do. Mr. SLOANE stated that he offered her 8d. for one piece, the other was only spoiled, and worth nothing. He though the one piece was worth money. Mr. THOMPSON--Why then did you not give her the shilling you promised her? Mr. SLOANE--I said worth money, not worth THE money. Messrs. KENNEDY and STEENSON, sewing agents, were sworn and examined as to the piece declared to be spoiled by Mr. SLOANE. Mr. STEENSON swore that it was worth nothing, not even a penny. Mr. KENNEDY said he thought it worth 18d. and that there would be charged 1s. for the raw material. Mr. SLOANE--And 6d. Bench--It is wrong of you to prompt a witness. Mr. SLOANE--I ought to know what my employers will charge me. Mr. DOPPING--You ought to know how to conduct yourself in a public court, and if you don't we will teach you. Mr. KENNEDY asked if he would give 5s. 6d. for the two pieces for his wife's wear on its being brought to him, he said that he would not like to see his wife wearing anything so badly done. Their Worships then ordered Mr. SLOANE to pay according to Mr. KENNEDY's award, 1s. 6d. for one piece and 8d. for the other, with costs, giving to the complainant the option of keeping the pieces herself, and paying Mr. SLOANE the value of the fabric which she got to work upon. She preferred to take the money, which she pocketed accordingly. _____________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

ANGLO-CELT MAY 11, 1854 BELTURBET PETTY SESSIONS--Saturday, May 6, 1864 Magistrates present -- Captain PHILLIPS, Captain CLIFFORD, John GUMLEY and John A. NESBITT, Esqrs. John SHEEHEY a. W. LITTLE and Kitty FARMER A charge of assault on complainant on 29th March, and obstruction in the execution of his duty. The clerk stated that it was only on last Thursday Mr. LITTLE came for summonses; he would not give them, it being unusual to do so at so late a period, but Mr. GUMLEY gave an order to him to furnish them, with which of course he complied. Mr. NESBITT thought it was extraordinary that when six weeks had elapsed from the time at which the offence alleged was committed then only a summons was issued for its perpetration. Mr. John ARMSTRONG said it was because Mr. LITTLE was too ill to attend that the matter was deferred so long. Mr. NESBITT said even this was no excuse; the course pursued was by him individually believed to be most objectionable. Had he not his legal adviser to get the summonses for him? Had he not the same means of getting them that he had of forwarding instructions and the doctors' certificates, that they might apply for a postponement of the trial for him? It was then ordered that the direct case be proceeded with. Mr. COCHRANE, on behalf of the police, then said--This is a most important case. A line of railway between Clones and Cavan being contemplated, an engineer came to Redhills to make surveys and sketches for the purpose. Mr. LITTLE, through pecuniary or other motives, perhaps from fear of the engine, or for some other equally grave reason, differs from the common sentiment on the subject, and has an objection to the making of the line. Therefore, to prevent the engineer doing his duty, he assembled a number of persons, marched down the streets at their heads, and when he came to where the engineer was, he scolded and threatened him if he proceeded to make any sketch of the police-barrack or yard which is held under lease by the constabulary from Mr. LITTLE. He was the landlord, but was he the less a trespasser, when he invaded the ground attached to the barracks, as he did invade them, with the very active help of Miss Kitty FARMER, who was most violent in her vowings, that she would demolish the engineer. A constable was called on, who attempted to remove these parties, but they were most vehement in resisting his efforts, and the end was, that the engineer was obliged to leave without doing anything. Another came later in the day, who was as badly received, and several times thrown into a dyke by MR. LITTLE, Miss Kitty assisting him. Was this the way to keep pace with progress? Mr. LITTLE might oppose the bid if he did not like it, or if it did not pass through his grounds he would get would get simple damages for any injury done him; but he took the law in his own hands, and must now abide the consequence. Robert YOUNG examined--Is stationed at Redhills; recollects the 29th March last. An engineer came that day to sketch the barrack for the railway; saw Mr. LITTLE and Miss FARMER that day; Mr. LITTLE had no one with him when coming from his house, but he went to his men and called on them to put away the engineer. Mr. LITTLE was winding a stick round his head; he said he would tear his puddings out if he did not leave, and used other expressions so offensive that he would not repeat them. His party consisted of ten men, at least. They gathered round the engineer, who was in front of the barrack; he asked leave to go into the barrack, but Mr. LITTLE and Miss FARMER stood in the door and would not let him pass. SHEAHY and others asked LITTLE to leave the door, and he said he would not let any one in on his property. He pushed and dragged SHEAHY and both he and Miss FARMER followed the engineer into the yard and would let him do nothing. The engineer had to be escorted out of the town. Cross-examined by Mr. John ARMSTRONG--They are constables at Redhills; SHEAHY is in command; the police there are not very anxious about the railway, does not know whether Rev. Mr. M'AULEY is; that gentleman resides some distance from the barracks; did not see Mr. M'AULEY that morning; saw no crowd in the street before Mr. LITTLE's men came there; hears that these men were paid to remain watching the line for the especial purpose of keeping engineers off it, when the whole party mustered there were thirty or forty there, most of whom gathered when they saw the way Mr. LITTLE was going on. The engineer said nothing, but that he wanted to have a sketch of the barracks; there was shouting and laughing; saw Mr. M'AULEY there, he heard no orders given to cheer and groan; hear Rev. Mr. M'AULEY say it was a shame for Mr. LITTLE to get on so; Mr. M'AULEY was not leading a mob, nor following a mob, when he saw him; never heard that Rev. Mr. M'AULEY was anxious that the line should pass through the barracks, that it might avoid his own house; does not think the laughing of the mob was calculated to induce Mr. LITTLE to a breach of the peace. It was not by direction of Mr. M'AULEY that the police were put under arms, but by the orders of the Sergeant, when he saw the engineer so maltreated and in danger. Witness went to pass in through the door, when LITTLE and Miss FARMER pushed him back; they were then gently removed, and when Sergeant SHEEHY went up to caution LITTLE, he was called a d--d scoundrel, and pushed and assaulted. John SHEEHY examined--Is in command of the party at Redhills; on 29th March saw Mr. LITTLE come up towards the barracks; a number of men were standing at Miss FARMER's door; Mr. RIORDAN, the engineer, was sketching the barracks, when Mr. LITTLE called the men to com on; they did so, and so did Miss FARMER, when one and the others of the two made a snap at Mr. ROIRDAN. The engineer requested leave to go into the barrack, which he got, when Mr. LITTLE and Miss FARMER opposed his entrance. MR. LITTLE was being removed from the door, when he attacked witness and nudged him; he then asked where was the engineer; witness replied in the barracks; this made him more furious, when he assaulted witness violently. He was afraid there was danger to the engineer because of previous conduct of LITTLE in the matter. Mr. ARMSTRONG objected to any evidence of what occurred from or to the day charged in the summons. Mr. COCHRANE maintained its perfect lawfulness, as there was a riot in the case, and in he case of the Queen a. O'CONNELL such evidence was gone into. Captain PHILLIPS--I think it unnecessary for you to say a word about it. Examination continued--Saw Rev. Mr. M'AULEY, and heard him advise the people to leave the place; he came with the engineer, and a great many others did the same to see what kind of an animal he was. Cross-examined by Mr. KNIPE. Has no spate to Mr. LITTLE; goes sometimes to Mr. M'AULEY's house; never heard him say that the line threatened to go through his house. When Mr. M'AULEY came down, he wanted the mob to go off; did not hear him say 'one cheer more boys.' MR. LITTLE did not go through the barracks, though he strove to do so, to impede the engineer. When the engineer passed into the barracks, witness thought it was to have protection there from the violence of Mr. LITTLE and Miss FARMER, and not to pass through it to Mr. LITTLE's fields. Mr. KNIPE here made certain insinuations with regard to Mr. M'AULEY's interference in the matter, and exclaimed rather vehemently, when asked what they had to do with the matter, that Mr. M'AULEY was accused of riot and leading a mob that day, and in the present state of society, it was not new to see a priest exciting a mob, and that mob unfortunately obeying him. Patrick M'LERNAN proved the assault on the sergeant by MR. LITTLE; heard Mr. M'AULEY desire the men to leave the place, and when some of them were going away Mr. LITTLE and Miss FARMER pulled them back again. Constable MOORE also proved the circumstances, and corroborated the fact of Mr. LITTLE and Miss FARMER standing in the door of the police barracks, and the latter dancing about and exclaiming, "This is Mr. LITTLE"s property, this is Mr. LITTLE's property." Thinks that only for Mr. M'AULEY there would be a great riot there that day. John DAVIS examined--Remembers the transaction..Mr. LITTLE was very much excited...Miss FARMER was also in the door...heard Mr. M'AULEY say nothing. Captain PHILLIPS--Oh, Mr. KNIPE, you may let Mr. M'AULEY alone. Mr. KNIPE--Your worship we have not taken a feather out of him yet, but we will take his wing off. Rev. Mr. M'AULEY examined--Recollects the 29th March; saw the engineer come to his house in the morning; went towards the barracks with him; saw Mr. LITTLE and Miss FARMER there and a number of workmen with them going to the barracks. Witness had not one with him going down but the engineer. MR. KNIPE--Oh, Mr. M'AULEY, you are not bound to criminate yourself. Examination continued--I ordered off the mob, and Miss FARMER, or Kitty FARMER, or whatever you call her, brought them back; the conduct of the police was not riotous, but always correct. Cross-examined by Mr. ARMSTRONG--Is anxious about the railway as every man ought to be; did not go with a mob upon the occasion. Mr. NESBITT--Surely, Mr. ARMSTRONG, you are not wanting still to involve Mr. M'AULEY in the riot. Mr. ARMSTRONG--Surely yes, your worship. MR. COCHRANE will do his bet to get him out of it, you need not shield him. Cross-examination continued--Did not put his stick on Mr. LITTLE's shoulder or head, or hear the mob groaning or cheering Mr. LITTLE that day; does not know whether he groaned him; to the best of his belief he did not; did not order the mob to cheer, nor say down with the Unicorn, meaning the barracks, it is too long standing; did not summon a mob for the occasion. James HOWE examined--Is Mr. LITTLE's nephew; proved his uncle's standing in the door of the barracks and refusing to leave it at the order of the police. B. H. PINCHIN, Esq., proved that the police had orders not to let any one into the barrack except on business to them. The complainant's case closed here. Mr. ARMSTRONG rose to reply--It was his duty to state the case of his client, and to lay his grievances, his oppressions and hardships before the bench and the public, to show that he was foully treated by a band of men who were enrolled for the purpose of preserving the peace. Mr. PINCHIN was here to support them, but had he been at Redhills they would never have acted as they did. They must repent for having acted so, for we live in a country where the rights of property are respected, and even the police will be punished when they do wrong. Mr. LITTLE has passed his term--three score years and ten--and during his life he has been a loyal subject of the Queen.........Mr.. ARMSTRONG then stated that Mr. LITTLE only prevented the engineer from going into his field; that he did not stand in the door of the barracks at all; and that where the police seized upon him and maltreated him was in the public street, after which he proceed to call his witnesses. Patrick BROWN proved to Mr. LITTLE's ordering the engineer off the premises and standing in his way when the police pushed and dragged him, and nearly prostrated him when he was received into the protecting arms of Miss FARMER. Witness did not hear Mr. M'AULEY say anything to the mob except to advise them to go home, which some them were doing when Miss FARMER collected them and brought them back. Cross-examined by Mr. COCHRANE--Was called on by Mr. LITTLE to prevent the engineer going anywhere he proposed to go. Heard Mr. M'AULEY calling Mr. LITTLE an old rascal, and Mr. LITTLE returning the compliment. Saw the sergeant speaking with Mr. LITTLE before he commenced pushing him; he was not in the door at the time. Peter CLERKIN, a most jolly-looking chap, in whom there appeared every indication that he was one who looked on a fight as the best of all sprees, examined--Saw Mr. M'AULEY coming down the street with people before and after him; heard that gentlemen telling Mr. HOWE and Miss FARMER to bring away Mr. LITTLE; did not hear him groaning or cheering, or ordering any one to groan or cheer....... William MOORE examined--Saw the dragging of LITTLE, but know not who gave the first assault.... Stephen M'DONALD also proved the dragging of Mr. LITTLE, but said he was called up from his work to keep the engineer off. Mr. LITTLE and Miss FARMER were both in the barrack door, and some of the police at the door pushed him out before the sergeant assaulted him. Mr. Armstrong here applied to have the cross cause entered into, but Mr. COCHRANE said it was sufficiently heard. Mr. LITTLE himself could not be listened to in consequence of the late hour at which he had issued his summons. If he were upheld in coming forward at so late an hour, then no man could be prevented from being a witness for himself. Captain PHILLIPS thought it would be a most dangerous precedent to set, if Mr. LITTLE would now be allowed to proceed with his summons. Captain CLIFFORD to Mr. ARMSTRONG--Was it because Mr. LITTLE could not then get his summonses that the case was postponed? Mr. ARMSTRONG--No, Sir. Mr. KNIPE said it would be treating Mr. GUMLEY discourteously by not hearing the summonses which he allowed to issue. Mr. NESBITT--Magistrates are not infallible, besides there was only an ex parte statement. Mr. KNIPE then alleged Dr. COYNE's certificate that he could not attend. Captain PHILLIPS--He was in the hands of two most skillful lawyers. Mr. KNIPE--No, your worship, he was in worse hand in those of Dr. COYNE. The magistrates then refused to entertain the cross case, and, after some consultation, pronounced their decision, that Mr. LITTLE do pay one pound of a fine, and one pound costs; and, as Miss FARMER did not seem to use her hands, though she acted so very prominently, they would dismiss the case in her regard. ______________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

ANGLO-CELT MAY 11, 1854 THE COAL MINE AT KILNALECK We subjoin a list of those who have up to this subscribed to have the work carried on. A large quantity of the mineral has been brought to town, and it appears an excellent, bituminous article; smiths and others who have used it for heating iron pronounce it admirable:-- The Lord Bishop of Kilmore, 10l.; Lord Farnham, 3l.; R. ERSKINE, Esq. 5l.; A. C. PALLAS, Esq., 1l.; Rev. W. P. MOORE, 3l.; Mr. William MOORE, 2l.; Mr. James FAY, 1l.; Mr. William HAGUE, 3l.; Mr. P. FAY, 1l. Mr. James O'BRIEN, 1l.; Wm. THOMPSON, Esq., 1l.; Mr. Edward KENNEDY, 2l.; Mr. Edward M'GAURAN, 1l.; Mr. Pat SMITH, Surveyor, 10s.; Mr. Robert BUCHANAN, 10s.; Captain GARATIN, 10s.; Mr. James REILLY, 1l. ____________________________________________________________ ILLICIT DISTILLATION (From our own Correspondent) On the night of the 1st inst., the 50th Party, Revenue Police, stationed at Belturbet, accompanied by its excellent Commander, Lieutenant MURPHY, proceeded in the Revenue Boat down the dark and deep waters of Lough Erne, county Fermanagh. The night was dark and gloomy, the sky lowering with every appearance indicative of approaching storm, yet undaunted by these ominous appearances and a smart gale blowing ahead, those hardy and intrepid men plied their boat with unabated and manly vigour along the perilous and foaming waters of the lake. It was now dawn. The reflection of t he sun's rays from the eastern horizon threw a faint light around, and the party, which was now seventeen miles from its station, glided silently, steadily, yet rapidly from island to island, in the execution of its duty. After a long, diligent, and almost fruitless search through many of the island with which this beautiful lake is diversified, the party at last succeeded in discovering on the uncultivated, uninhabited island of Creighnewollop, a private distillery of enormous extent, most ingeniously concealed, and surrounded by brushwood which grows plentifully on the island. In its interior were deposited thirteen vessels containing 1,200 gallons of Potiale, also two stills, and an indefinite number of other vessels and implements employed in illicit Distillation. The destruction of the distillery and its contents was immediately and effectually completed by the party, and the loss to the owner, who is unknown, is incalculable. The exertions of the 50th Party Revenue Police, in the suppression of Illicit Distillation, cannot be too highly appreciated by the Board of Inland Revenue, and it is a pity that the faithful, energetic men of which the Revenue Police Force is composed are not better encouraged. The excellent Constabulary Officer of Belturbet, B. H. PINCHIN, Esq., accompanied the Revenue Force on the expedition referred to above. _____________________________________________________________ EMIGRATION DEPOT AT CORK.--Captain DE COURCY, R.N., accompanied by Captain FREND, the Government agent at the port of Cork, made on Tuesday a minute inspection of the building now occupied, as a blind Asylum in Cork, with a view of ascertaining its fitness, for the purpose of an emigration depot. It is understood that Captain DE COURCY considers the Asylum perfectly well suited for the object; and a local paper (the Reporter) says that the experience of London merchant satisfied them that Cork was the best and cheapest port for the despatch of ships to Australia. MR. BENISON, we have heard, was not a home upon the occasion when we stated that bail was offered to and refused by him in the case of an outrage committed on a man named M'KENNA, residing at Carrigaleese, in the county Fermanagh. _____________________________________________________________ DIED On Friday, the 5th inst., in the 54th year of her age, Bridget, the beloved wife of Mr. John BRADY of this town. The deceased, who had been considerably more than a quarter of a century resident in Cavan, was held in the very highest esteem by all who knew her. Her equals ever found her kind and obliging, ready to sympathise with them in their joys, and to condole with them in their sorrows, while the poor looked upon her as an unceasing benefactress, and now bewail her as one whose loss to them cannot easily be repaired. Sunday, the day of her interment in the family burial ground in Castletara, was a fitful severe day, but neither rain nor storm could prevent as large a concourse as we ever saw collected on a similar occasion, from accompanying her remains to the place of her last earthly repose, and this we believe to be the highest testimony to her worth, for she cannot any more be obliging or benevolent, and there- fore nothing but a memory of her embalmed in their hearts could have caused so many from so different localities to put themselves to inconvenience that they might pay her the last honours. ___________________________________________________________ A young lad named BODELL, aged 14 years, was killed by lightning at Larne, in the county of Antrim, on Tuesday week. He had a pick in his hand which attracted the electric fluid. SACRILEGE IN LOUGHREA--On the 28th ult. an entry was effected into Loughrea chapel, by removing some glass from one of the windows apparently with a diamond; and three chalices, one of which was beyond two hundred, and one beyond 150 years old, were carried off. The cross and ciborium were broken, and the sacred contents of the latter quite made away with. No clue has yet been obtained as to the perpetrators of the outrage. A verdict of wilful murder has been returned against a single woman, named Janet GILLIE, in Berwick, for cutting the throat of her new born infant. ______________________________________________________________ BIRTH May the 4th, at Eglinton, Cabra Road, the wife of George CARMICHEL, Esq., of a son and heir. ______________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

Hi Roberta, Thanks for the email about the DNA study. My understanding is that the BYU Molecular Genealogy study is a study of general population flows, and does not focus on particular individuals. I was also a volunteer and gave blood to them. Their interest is to see how people from different parts of the world migrated elsewhere. For example, they did a study of the Indians along the coast of Costa Rica. These Indians had no real history until BYU found that they were genetically related to the Indians in the mountain regions. Apparently, the Spanish had captured some of the Indians in the mountains and transported them as slaves to the coastal regions. You can check their web site for updates on their studies - the Moelcular Genealogy Program is now called the Sorenson Moelcular Genealogy Foundation and can be researched at http://smgf.org:8081/pubgen/site17.jsp. All DNA analysis done on volunteers is held strictly confidential. To obtain specific info on a particular individual or group of individuals, you have to sign up for DNA testing with Relative Genetics, the company that was spun off from the BYU program. There is a cost, depending on the type of testing you do. For more info, check out wwwrelativegenetics.com. You can also chekc out Family Tree DNA's web site at www.ftdna.com. They do similar types of testing. If I can answer any questions for you, let me know. Colleen

A numerous body of the Clergy of the diocese, with the Venerable Archdeacon BRADY (a relative of the deceased) attended at the funeral and sang with grand effect the solemn requiem, "Te diem Irae", the most sublime and impressive composition in the service of the Catholic Church. _____________________________________________________________ MARRIED April 27, in St. James's Church, by the Rev.

Hi Allen Wonder if I could add my name to the gowing list of names for you to "keep an eye out for ' in the 1821. The names I am interested in are BIGGS, LOVETT(LOVAT)(LOVETTE)(LOVELL), McCAWLEY(McAULEY)(McCULLOUGH), IRWIN (ERWIN). BIGGS, LOVETT and MCCAWLEY are not that common in Cavan so far as I can make out, (especially Biggs) so I am hoping that that is not asking too much. I know irwin is more common and unfortunatley have no leads on them at the moment other than the surname. I have Knight from NTH and Bracey from (?) Devon in my lines if it's of any use in the future.

Joe Coyle, On a gravestone in the St. Bernard's Cemetery in New Haven Connecticut it reads "Natives of the Parish of Ballintemple Co. Cavan Ireland - Rest in eternal peace - Their Loving Children". This is the stone from my great great grandparents, Bernard Conlan and Margaret Coyle. Some unconfirmed data has been found, but of course not much. It suggests that they left Ireland separately at two different times, somewhere from the late 1830's to early 1840's. We have questionable ships records for both. Real evidence starts in New Haven with their marriage in 1843 and a slew of descendants. I'm looking through some of your material on your site. Nothing yet. Thought I'd send this to you for the heck of it. Thanks, Joe Conlan

Hi Al, I am still looking for CANOE, CORNEW, ETC. Could you check the 1821 census for Larrah, please. Thanks much. Bette

Hi Listers, For the last four years I have been conducting a DNA test of the Fitzpatricks. One of our more remarkable stories is connected with Co. Cavan. One of the participants in our study, Mike Patrick of St. Louis, MO, is a descendent of Edward Fitzpatrick, b. in Ireland Feb 16, 1760. His family was evidently well off, living in Ireland part of the year and Scotland the other part of the year. Family legend has it that Edward and his brother were kidnapped from a beach in Ireland or Scotland when they were boys and brought to the US and sold as slaves or servants. They were separated and never saw each other again. Edward tried his whole life to find his family in Ireland, with no success. He eventually dropped the Fitz from his last name and was later known as Edward F. Patrick. Of course any efforts on Mike and his wife Sandy's part to trace their family to Ireland has met with no success at all. In the DNA study, however, Mike matched Bill Fitzpatrick in Palm Desert, CA exactly. This means they have a fairly recent common ancestor. Bill traces his family to Belturbet, Co. Cavan. His ancestor was Patrick J. Fitzpatrick, born in the 1850s - 1860s. (He had a son Patrick Joseph in 1881.) We are looking for a Fitzpatrick from Co. Cavan to take the DNA test to try to link these stories together. A Fitzpatrick from Belturbet would be the best of all. We are working through Relative Genetics in Salt Lake City. To participate you have to be male Fitzpatrick. There is a cost, too, which I can describe to you offlist. If you are interested, please contact me off list. If you want more info just to konw about DNA testing, please contact with with those questions as well. Also, if you have heard this story and recognize Edward Fitzpatrick, let me know for sure. I only joined temporarily to post the Charity Hosptial Admission Records last night, and plan to unsubscribe shortly. Colleen

ANGLO-CELT APRIL 27, 1854 CAVAN PETTY SESSIONS--Monday, April 24 Before Theophius THOMPSON, William SMITH, and Robert ERSKINE, Esqrs. Eliza CRAWFORD a. George MANNING, George MANNING a. Eliza CRAWFORD. This was cause and cross cause, CRAWFORD alleged an assault, and MANNING alleged abusive language used by CRAWFORD. Eliza MANNING (sic) sworn--Went to MANNING's house last Monday to get support for three children she had by him, though she was a married woman. She thus lost her character, and had to plough the ocean deep. MANNING, having paid her passage to American, had husband, who became cognizant of her infidelity, would not support her. Cross-examined by Mr. John ARMSTRONG--Went to American 12 months ago; reports were through the country of her intimacy with MANNING; never told her husband that she would swear she had connection at any time with MANNING; MANNING came and took his oath of her innocence, but no one could say what book he took his oath upon; he got married a few days before witness went to America, and would not have left that country only that her husband wrote to her that her children, whom MANNING undertook to care, were in the poorhouse. Mr. ARMSTRONG here suggested that the woman had no right to go to MANNING's house even if he were father of her children, which MANNING would prove was untrue. Mr. HAMILTON--He will prove no such thing. He will not be witness for himself. Mr. ARMSTRONG--That is for the bench to decide; we have a summons. Mr. HAMILTON--Yes, a got up one, for you did not serve it until this day. To MR. SMYTH--Had two legitimate children, one of whom was in the poorhouse, while witness was in America. CRAWFORD, husband of witness, examined by Mr. HAMILTON--Got three pounds from Mr. MANNING, and a cow to give milk to the children, but soon after his wife went to American, MANNING took away the cow and brought the children on his own cart to the poorhouse; MANNING offered to clear the character of his wife, but he did not believe him, for he had actual knowledge of their incontinence. The case was dismissed, as the woman was an intruder when going into MANNING's house, her proper course being to bring a civil action for the support of her children. Andrew MOORE a. Phillip BROWNE The defendant was summoned for having an illegal stone weight in his house in Stradone. It was about two ounces light. Fined ten shilling and costs. Same a. Phillip FARRELLY Same offence, with this difference, that this weights or at least some of them, were too heavy. Fined one pound and costs. Same a. James REILLY Same offence. The weights were stamped by a late inspector, and they were very little light. Fined ten shillings and costs. Same a. James SMYTH Two light weights were got with him, but he was in not business wherein it would be necessary to weigh anything. Mr. THOMPSON thought that his possessing them was enough to involve them. The other magistrates thought differently, but as he was using them some three months ago, he was fined ten shillings. Same a. Patrick FITZPATRICK, Lavey Like offence and fine. Same a. Laurence CONNELL, Lisnaglea Fined one pound and costs. Same a. Patrick CUSACK, Corrawellan. One pound and costs. Same a. Patrick REILLY, Stradone Fined ten shillings. Same a. Henry TALBOT, Rathbourne. Fine one pound. Same a. John PRONTY All his weights and measures, with the exception of one or two, were most regular. Fined ten shillings. Same a. George ARMSTRONG Fined two shillings and sixpence. Same a. Thomas M'KEON Fined twenty shillings and costs. Same a. Laurence KENNEDY MR. KENNEDY appealed as if he were getting his weights adjusted, and they were all heavy. He buys in nothing, and that the loss was all to himself. An Irish quart, which he presented himself, as a curiosity, being found not equal to the British, it was adjudged that he came within the law, and was therefore fined ten shillings. Same a. George NESBITT Mr. NESBITT said that it was impossible to have one's weights all right. There was no person in the country having a standard weight by which to regulate them. Nor was there notice given that the inspection had passed into the hands of the police. What were people to do? Fined ten shillings. Same a. James ROBERTS of Lisnashanna All his weights were light except one, and that was too heavy. Fined one shilling. Same. a. Patrick DONOHOE, Crosskeys. Fined ten shillings and costs. Same a. Edward GAFFNEY, Crosskeys Fined ten shillings. Same a. James M'CABE Fined one pound. Same a. Bernard GAFFNEY. Fined one pound and costs. Same a. Robert BURROWES, Esq. Fined one pound. ___________________________________________________________ Cavan County Newspaper Transcription Project

ANGLO-CELT APRIL 27, 1854 BELTURBET PETTY SESSIONS--Saturday, April 22 Magistrates present--Captain PHILLIPS, Thomas KNIPE, James H. STOREY, and John GUMLEY, Esqrs. WHAT IT IS TO APPEAR BY ATTORNEY Wm. WINSLOW a. Thomas MOORE This was a complaint of trespass by defendants cattle on complainants clover on three different occasions. Mr. John ARMSTRONG appeared for the complainant. Captain PHILLIPS--It must be a bad case when you are obliged to appear. Mr. ARMSTRONG--Oh no your worship, but there are troublesome people to be dealt with here. MOORE--Oh, Mr. ARMSTRONG you're always engaged when the case is bad. WINSLOW's servant boy proved the trespass and he himself proved that his fences were in good order, and that no fences could keep in defendants cattle for they were starved. MOORE's son asserted that the fences were bad, and that complainant was a bad character. Complainant--The more like yourself that way. MOORE--Sure if you had not a bad case you would not bring Mr. ARMSTRONG here. John LITTLE appraiser was called to prove the fences bad. WINSLOW--Oh don't listen to him, gentlemen, he's at variance with me. Witness--Begone you scandalous fellow, I'd be respected anywhere, not all as one as you. Witness--I divided the fences between the parties. To Mr. ARMSTRONG--I was not called on by LITTLE to make the fences, but I'll give you a bit of an act. No trespass can be sustained according to the act where the fences are not made up. If WINSLOW was a good character he'd settle the case at home like a neighbour. Oh, boys dear think of him bringing an attorney here in such a case. Now, Mr. ARMSTRONG, I'll make a fair offer--Will you leave it to Father WIilliam, pointing to the Rev. Mr. M'AULEY, to settle between two good Protestants, tho' troth I think they're both unsanctified christians. The case was dismissed. The Police a. Kitty FARMER, and Wm. LITTLE, and reciprocally When this case, or rather pair of cases, had been called upon, Mr. John ARMSTRONG who appeared for Miss FARMER and Mr. LITTLE, called for an adjournment, as Mr. LITTLE was unwell and the other party, whose interest was identified in the matter, could not, it may be presumed, appear without an escort. To this end he produced a certificate from Dr. COYNE, stating that Mr. LITTLE was unable to attend, and another from Surgeon ROE (illegible) it appeared that he was 'subject to irritation.' Mr. COCHRANE, who appeared for the police, opposed the application as putting his clients and himself to considerable inconvenience. Dr. COYNE's certification was most (illegible) for it did not state what in particular was the matter with him that Mr. LITTLE 'could not attend'. Surgeon ROE's was even more extraordinary, for if every man who was 'subject to irritation' was, therefore, free to absent himself from the court before which he was summoned to appear, therefore every man whose better half was excitable or his cook none of the (illegible), or his washerwoman oblivious as to the necessity of his having buttons in his shirt, would "ipso facto" be exempt from any consequences of his own misdemeanour, for all these things were quite calculated to irritate. The Bench agreed to the application of Mr. ARMSTRONG, stating at the same time that if another postponement were proposed, the medical adviser of Mr. LITTLE should attend in person to prove the incapability of attending. (We understand that the case is rather an important one, involving an alleged opposition by Mr. LITTLE and Miss FARMER, to an Engineer of the Belfast and West of Ireland Railway Company, Mr. ROIRDAN, when he came on the business of the company to Mr. LITTLE's property through which the line is intended to pass. The police came to the assistance of the engineer, and they say that they were obstructed in the prosecution of their duty upon the occassion, by the active energy of Mr. LITTLE, and more particularly of Kitty FARMER. They, on the other hand, charge the police with assaulting him. After Saturday work we shall be able to tell more of the case.) ___________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

The audience was select, consisting of the gentry and respectable inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, who came by special invitation. The place for the performance was tastefully ornamented, as on former occasions; and if the actors were anxious to obtain "crowded house," (as we consider they were,) they must have felt highly flattered by the attendance... The band in attendance played at intervals some enlivening strain good style. The scenery was appropriate and well made; and taking everything into account, the whole far exceeded our expectations. The play chosen for the first night was the tragedy of "The Grecian Daughter,", the subject of which is the invasion of Sicily by the tyrant Dionysius, the imprisonment of the King Evander...and the death of the usurper, effected by the heroine Euphrasia. As the old King Evander, Mr. M'ENROE displayed great talent and judgment... MR. J. O'REILLY, in the character of Dioysius, ably attained his part... Mr. TRAYNOR personated Melanthon... Master John BRADY personated Euphrasia; and although it was his first appearance on the stage he has earned a name which might be envied... In the farce, "The Irishman's Fortune," Mr. SHERIDAN appeared as Pandeen O'RAFFERTY, and roars of laughter greeted him through every stage of the performance.... The celebrated drama of "Hofer, the Tell of the Tyrol" commenced the second night's performance. The hero of the play was ably represented by Mr. J. O'REILLY, who in this character as indeed throughout the varied performance, displayed a degree of talent... The part of "Donay" was well enacted by MR. M'ENROE... "Strichback, the tailor," was very ably personated by Mr. NEWMAN. Mr. WHELAN was quite at home as "Jobe Spokewhoppen", and was well seconded by Mr. FITZPATRICK, as his wife Maulette. Mr. P. O'REILLY, as "Elrick" (Hofer's son) did his part very well; and in the character of "Marie," (the wife of Hofer) Master BRADY fully sustained his previous character. We heartily congratulate our young friends on their progress...They deserve every encouragement in this affording a source of innocent amusement to their audience, and also in acquiring for themselves a facility of speaking in public. _____________________________________________________________ TO THE EDITOR OF THE ANGLO-CELT Dear Sir--I have read in your paper of last Thursday a report of the pro- ceedings of the Arvagh Petty Sessions, in connection with the death of the young man DRUM, and the opposition given to the coroner, in his efforts to hold an inquest. I think it tends to create, in the mind of the public, an opinion unfavourable to the mother and friends of the deceased, for it publishes, on mere hearsay, 'that his death was caused by unfair means,' and goes on to say 'that he had only got a short distance from the house when his mother was observed to follow him, and shortly after that he was seen to fall from his horse in a state of insensibility, and that his father, when dying, bequeathed to him his farm and stock.' Some people may think that these arrangements had the effect of creating a feeling between him and the rest of the family, and con- sequently a wish to get rid of him. No such arrangement, however, took place, for his father did not bequeath to him any part of his property whatever. I visited the old man last August, two days before his death, and I wrote out his last will, in which he bequeathed the whole of his property to his wife, the mother of the deceased boy, to be managed by her for the benefit of herself and her eight children. I was up there on the day of the funeral, and saw no disposition on the part of the friends to offer any opposition to the coroner. Had there been any I would have observed it, and had he been able to attend there on that day he could have held his inquest with all ease. I wish further to add, that the DRUM family have been always a peaceable, industrious people, and have, by their religious and upright conduct, earned for themselves the esteem and friendship of their parish during the last thirty years. I feel confident you will, in justice to this family, give insertion to these few lines in your next publication, and I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, Killeshandra John O'REILLY, P.P.
