Hi Kevin, Could you please look up the surname HOLTON in your book? I can't seem to find much information on my family although I know that they were and still are there. Thank you so much.

No Knights or Salmons, but I am descended from a Mary E. or B. Knight (b. either 4/1835 or 2/15/1836, d. 2/23/1909) who married my g-grandfather Daniel Anthony in 1854. Her father owned the first boiler brick factory west of the Mississippi. They came from Pennsylvania, per the census. Don't know much else, but would be interested to know if you have anything along these lines.

Cool! I bought the book hoping to find my ggg-grandfather Daniel had been arrested for making pikes for the rebels (he was a blacksmith, and they rounded them all up in Athy for making pikes) but found no mention on him. Glad to help. By the way, a Marianne O'Connor was the beauty of my dorm in college-she regularly ate meals with at least 6 suitors surrounding her! She was a dead ringer for Pamela Anderson.

Thanks for your help on the Walshes in Kildare!

is there any edgeworths in the kildare rebellion? mark

A lot of Walshes mentioned: Captain Walsh-a maltster turned Cork mail coach robber, based in the Wicklow mountains-1798 James Walsh-a rebel leader from Athy John Ravell Walsh- a neighbor of Theobald Wolfe in Naas Patrick Walsh-"a respectable landowner from the Narraghmore area brought instructions for insurrection to the United Irishmen of the region on May 22, 1798" The battle description is pretty interesting and runs several pages. Reverend John Walsh-"vicar at Kilcock, the epicentre of Defenderism in Kildare [1795-1797 period], emerges from the Rebellion Papers as the most spirited resister of Defenderism in the north of the county" There are 6 pages mentioning him. I got my copy at Amazon.com. It was published in 1998-"Rebellion In Kildare 1790-1803. It lloks like you may have several here. Good luck!

The O'Connors: There are Arthur, Lawrence, and Patrick. Arthur and Lord Edward Fitzpatrick undertook a mission to France in May, 1796, stayed together in Belfast in November 1796, and upon returning were both active as leaders of the Rebellion of 1798. Lawrence O'Connor was a Defender leader executed in 1795 in Naas. (The Defenders pre-dated the United Irishmen) He was "one of the few men of education to be a Defender". He was arrested in Kilcock, but was from around Summerhill. There are about 7 pages of his exploits. Patrick O'Connor was a lawyer from Straffan There is no mention of Blakestown, but quite a lot about Leixslip (10 pages). You might want to get a copy for yourself. I got mine through Amazon.com.

Is there anything about "Ivers"? Thanks, Lucy

Bingo! Don't know about the locale, but here is what it says from page 38: "In late 1796 convicts on a prison ship at Cobh offered to give information on Defenderism in Kildare {that is, the United Defenders}. In October they contacted a Cork doctor through John Kenny a fellow convict. He wrote: They are two Defenders and their names is [sic] Patrick Connor and Edward Byrne. They say they can make information against thirty men in the county of Kildare for high treason and Defenderism and will from that the leading men come into the informant's houses and gave them powder balls and guns for the purpose of entering gentlemen's housesand say that when they refused to be concerned that they threatened their lives in case of their refusal and informed them that the high sheriff of the county of Kildare (Mr. Aylmer) and a Mr. Brown(e) were Defenders and if they were not that they should not live in that county" (this paragraph from a letter of Robert Harding , Cork, to Edward Cooke, Dec. 10, 1796 to be found in National Archives SOC 1015/28) There are several O'Connors, which I will follow with in another e-mail.
