"A number of Kildare men joined in the Dublin Lodge No. 176 (Orange Order, not United Irishmen) at an early date in 1798. John Montgomery, who acted as Kildare Grand Master and his neighbor Revd John Keating both lived near Naas. The Orange Order was a bunch of loyalists. Good reason to disappear in the night... There is also considerable information on Maurice Keatinge (22 pages!), and a little on Revd Dean Keatinge. I suggest you get the book if interested in Maurice.

Keating who went missing in the middle of the night, estimating around the time of 1798. Both families immigrated from Ballymore Eustace around the mid 1800's. Cheers!

Thanks Kevin for both these and the Hyland information! Interesting... Would a (presumably) protestant Revd have been trained by the Jesuits? Family lore says the same man was a teacher, trained by the S.J.'s (Society of Jesus?). Doubly interesting, as his grandson was a devout Catholic. "'Curiouser and curiouser!' cried Alice"... Cheers!
