2/4/1799 a gang of seven rebels were arraigned before a court martial assembled in Baltinglass Co Wicklow; they were Ned Fitzhenry, John Perkyns, pat Connor, Thomas Doyle, Ned Quinn, Thomas Coyle and John Condra. Charged with being rebels, possessing firearms and suspected of being with a gang of robbers who had infested Counties Wicklow and Kildare throughout the whole winter. Captain William Reeves ( also spelt Ryves) commanding officer of the Dunlavin Yeoman Cavalry and the local magistrate, was the sole witness at this trial. Reeves informed the court that he had received information from the government that several persons in the area had arms concealed. General Dundas had sent him a list of names and he had arrested all those on the list. None surrendered arms, but later their friends had brought their arms in to him, he said. ( One can only wonder at what powers of persuasion he used on their friends to arrange this *discovery ofWeapons*) William Reeves went on to state that he knew men to be of *notorious bad character*, especially Ned Fitzhenry and John Perkyns, who were rebel leaders he said They were sentenced to be transported for life.

9th March 1799 James Comyns was court martialled at Baltinglass also and his charge was rebellion and robbery of the arms, ammunition and accoutrements of Michael Fenton, a member of the Dunlavin yeomanry.( GFather of James Fenton of Tasmania Cara's Family oh well cant be held responsible for some of them ancestors) Michael Fenton sole witness at the trial stated to the court that he of the Dulavin Corps of Yeomen was billeted in Comyn's house in October 1798 Comyn's he said made off with his arms, ammunition, helmet, cartridge box, broad sword and regimental coat and waistcoat, he also stated that their was 15 rounds of ammunition in the box. Three weeks later he informed the court, Comyns had been arrested by the Glengarry Fencibles near Hacketstown close to the Wicklow Carlow border. Fenton had identified his property as he had scratched his name on the equipment and his name was upon the clothing also. Comyns in his defence said:-he had drunk to much whiskey and that he had committed the robbery in a fit of insobrietry. Verdict The court having duly and maturely considered the evidence for and against the prisoner James Comyns are unanimously of opinion that he is guilty of the crime laid to his charge and do therefore sentence him to death. Aproved by Cornwallis Source Ref:- NAI Dublin 620/3/16/5/

10th November 1798 Lord Cornwallis was sent a petition from Francis Lacy, a prisoner who was a native of Kilpool Co Wicklow. In this he states he farmed land at home on the estate of Earl Fitzwilliam, where he maintained his ageing mother and three sisters. Francis Lacy went on to state that on the 19th May before the rebellion had broken out he was taken into custody by the yeomen cavalry unit led by Lieutenant Revell and charged with being a United Irishman. Since the he had been confined aboard the HM Tender *Alexandra* in Dublin Bay. He enclosed some certificates concerning his good character, and among those is a letter from the Lieutenant Revell certifying that he had been a United Irishman but had taken no part in the rebellion. There is no note on the petition about the decision taken about his imprisonment. He and everyone else knew that United Irishmen, who had been in the rebellion, had been amnestied and allowed to go home. This did not apply to those who had been leaders or were guilty of some crime Source Ref:- NAI Dublin 620/7/80/4 and 620/7/29/47

Hugh Whollaghan was a member of the Newtownmountkennedy Corps of Yeomen and a native of Middleton -Co Wicklow. During a night patrol he and two other yeomen went into a cabin on 1st October 1798. There lived a man called Thomas Dogherty a former rebel, he lived with his mother. Whollaghan told Dogherty that he intended to kill him, and Dogherty begged him to arrest him, and allow him to face trial. But Dogherty's pleas and his mother's entreaties and tears all fell on death ears as Hugh Whollaghan encouraged by his comrades, Charles and James Fox killed the unfortunate man named Dogherty. Hugh Whollaghan stood trial before a permanent court martial in Dublin on 13th October 1798, whose president was Lord Enniskillen and whose members were a Major and three Captains of the 8th Dragoons, an officer of the Fermanagh Militia and one other from the 68th Regiment. They were told that Hugh Whollaghan was a very loyal subject and Dogherty had been a rebel under protection. The defendant pointed out he was merely carrying out the orders f his superior officer, Captain Armstrong- and he did indeed shoot and kill Dogherty "as a Rebel". The verdict was:- That although Hugh Whollaghan had killed Dogherty, who was a rebel, he did NOT do so "out of any malicious or wilful intention of murder". The two Fox Men were discharged also. They were thus acquitted and the court martial was used to cover up their misdeeds. The result of this was a reprimand delivered by Captain Taylor on behalf of Lord Cornwallis to Lieut-General Peter Craig of the Dublin district dated 18th October 1798. The members of the court martial were ordered to be dismissed and Whollaghan to be prohibited for life from serving in any corps of yeomen in "this kingdom". This letter was ordered to be read in an open court to the president and members of the court Martial.

Hello I am looking for information about the family of Arthur Burns (perhaps Byrne(s)) who married Elizabeth Kehoe - probably in Glendalough, county Wicklow. They had at least one son, Edward, who was born July 15, 1821 in Glendalough, county Wicklow and died in Brockville, Ontario Canada on 19 April 1912. The family emigrated to North America in 1847. Edward Burns/Byrne(s) married Elizabeth McCullough, daughter of James McCullough and Elizabeth Rogers, who was born in September 1835 in Glendalough. The McCullough family also emigrated in 1847. They married in Brockville in 1852. We have no information about either family's voyage to either Canada or the US. Some of our ancestors settled in Brockville and others lived in Morristown, New York which is not far away. We have relatives who spell their surname as I do and others who spell it Byrne. On the marriage register at St. Francis Xavier Church in Brockville, Edward's name is spelled Burns. However I have not been able to trace anyone to Glendalough with the surname Burns. There seem to have been a lot of Byrnes. I can only assume the difference in spelling was a result of the emigration/immigration documents. Any information you might find would be very helpful. Ann Burns Ottawa Ontario Canada. -- ---------------------------------------- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users. It has removed 1140 spam emails to date.

Hi, I'm looking for a Joseph BYRNE, husbandman, who had a son Thomas c1815, who left Ireland and went to Liverpool before 1837. Thomas was a Butcher by trade. I have no idea which part of Ireland they were from....I'm just clutching at straws! Are they familiar to anyone on this list? Sandra (ever hopeful)

Hi Cara, Thanks for your reply. Their religion now is C of E, which I believe is probably what the Shepherd ancestors where, although the early settlers in Canada were Presbyterian, and they were active in the Orange Lodge around North Gower, Ontario.

I am looking for information about Matthew Savage Todd, a schoolteacher, who married Eleanor Moorehead while living in Wexford in 1839. Their first son, John Henry Savage Todd, was born in Wexford in 1840. By 1842, they had moved to Carnew in Wicklow where the following children were born: James Garroway, Frederick William, George, Annette Maria, Eleanor, Sophia, Matthew Savage, Joseph, Robert, William, Sarah Eleanor. They were still living in Carnew in 1864 when their last child was born, but it is possible that they moved later to Cullenbrone in County Tyrone. Regards Andrew Patterson Buckinghamshire, England

I guess that this could be the right Emily. I think, though, that she was born earlier, about 1860. Just shows that some name combinations are not unusual. I just know that these three Irelands, Frederick, Emily and Elizabeth Susan immigrated and Fred and Emily were on the 1891 census in Ontario living with cousins. Fred and Emily went to the States for the 1900 census and he became a doctor and she a nurse. I just found Elizabeth in Emily's will, and Elizabeth was a retired teacher living in Connecticut. The cousins they lived with were Antonio Josephs m. Julia Keeley. He was a Portugese sailor and she was an Irish immigrant to the Boston area. This was before 1860. It has to be the Irish Keeley/Kealy connection making the "cousin" relationship. I just can't find the John Roe m. Mary Ann Keeley (Julia's sister), any Keeley connection, and how they relate to the Irelands in Ireland. Family lore is the Roe/Keeley family were from Wicklow, although one son stated he was born in Wexford on his marriage reg. These families stayed intact and seemed to remain connected in Ontario. Thanks! and I have no clue how to even find anything out in Ireland.
