Hi all, I got a couple of tidbits of info from the Anglican Library in Dublin today. My ancestor - Thomas Dulaney b. abt 1662 in Queen's County had a nephew Patrick Delaney who became Dean of Down. Thomas and his sons came to America and founded a large branch of Dulaneys here. It seemed that his nephew having achieved some prominence might be a conduit to learning who the father of Thomas was. What I learned today was that the father of Patrick was named Denis Delaney. (Dennis is a name that permeates the American branch.) Patrick was born at Rathkrea. Next to the words Denis D. is in quotes "Colonus" [farmer]. Does anyone know what Colonus means??? Is it a place or title. There was another brother Daniel. I don't know if I am any closer but I know Rathkrea now. Regards, Christina North Carolina, USA

I did find it. Colonus means farmer. I discovered the Alumni Dublineses uses Latin terms for the father's occupation. It looked like Alumni Dublineses was the source for the bio I got from the Anglican Library.
