Clare -- "MRS. ANN O'HARE, Grand View avenue, between South Dodge and West Dodge streets, Dubuque; was born in County Monahan, Ireland; she came to this country and arrived in Galena in October 1823. On the 6th of June, 1841, she married Edward O'Hare, a native of County Clare, Ireland; he came to America about 1825 and known to Galena and Dubuque among the earliest settlers; he was one of the pioneers of this county; he was engaged in mercantile business and farming during his life, and was successful; he died July 31, 1854, leaving a nice property; they had seven children, only three of whom are living- Timothy A., James Edward and Margaret, she married Alderman J.J.

He owns the block wherein is his store and dwelling; he is pecuniarily interested in the success of the new railroad to Cascade; he is an unassuming, law-abiding citizen, and quietly looks after his own business, which is in a thriving condidion. pg.918 " source: The History of Dubuque County, Iowa. published 1880, Western Historical Company in its entirety online at: http://members.tripod.com/~Doreen_3/DBIOLM.htm posted by Sharon Carberry (I cannot provide consent to reproduce these, as they are not my extractions.)

After I sent a message early on Monday the 4th to Origins.net about access difficulty subsequent to my signing up, the following message was sent on the 5th from Origins.net: "We had a glitch early on which was fixed, we then had a very high traffic level about the middle of the day and we stopped new free accesses for about two hours. Apart from that everything was seemed OK - we were monitoring things quite closely, but we do plan to improve our monitoring tools before we do this again. We will be looking more closely at exactly what issues arose before running another free session." So, Origins.net did have the difficulties reported by various of us who posted on the 4th. Since there have been two (at least) of these free-access days so far this year, there may be others in the future, hopefully after the issues have been resolved.

Donogh O' Callaghan of County Cork forfeited three quarters of his 12,000 acre estate. He was assigned 3,000 acres in East Clare in lieu of the proportion he was entitled to retain (he lost all his Cork land). One of the Clare landowners who was forced to make way for him was Donogh O' Malony of Kilgorey who forfeited 166 acres and was assigned in turn, 41 acres in Kilseily parish nearby." http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~monticue/Pendergrast_line.htm Of potential utility: O CALLAGHAN MS 261-276 Betham Sketch Pedigrees Series 1, III, p..105 of Montallon & Liscullane, Co.

Can anybody help me please with information about Edmond O'Callaghan of Kilgorey Esq and Francis Mac Namara of Moyriesk Esq in the late 18th century? ... I have no idea who Edmond O'Callaghan may have been but I suspect that Francis MacNamara may have been a connection of John MacNamara of Quin and Major "Fireball" MacNamara. Any information or suggestions as to possible sources of information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.
