251 A letter written to Martha Fuller in June 1832 by her son-in-law Samuel Daw, dau Martha and grandson Samuel Daw Jr soon after their arrival in New York USA appears in the Sussex Family Historian V4 #2 Dec 1979. Apparently the Daw family returned to UK by 1835, living in Heathfield, East Sussex. Lade, Martha (I4766)

[Cracroft's Peerage] McCarthy, Donough 4th and last Earl of Clancarty, Jacobite (I386)

257 A POSSIBLE clue on the Keating family - primarily due to the use of the name Nicholas:
Court Of Chancery Bill Books 1629:
Plaintiffs: Dame Ellin Devereux, James Keating, Nicholas Keating and Richard Keating
Defendant: Arthur Keating

There is a related Chancery case in 1633 as follows:
Plaintiffs: Nicholas Devereux and James Devereux
Defendants: Arthur Keating, James Keating, Richard Keating and Nicholas Keating

"Dame Ellin Devereux" appears to be Eleanor Keating, as follows:
When Sir Nicholas Devereux married Catherine le Poer in 1543, as a marriage settlement he received 'a sheep from every sheephouse and a cow from every cowhouse in the county' (Waterford). He was knighted for his services to the crown in subduing the Kavanaghs and Irish clans in Co. Wexford and protecting the settlers in his native county. NICHOLAS, son of Sir Nicholas Devereux of Balmagir and Eleanor Keatinge [HIS WIFE], had livery of his estate 21st May, 1540, succeeding his grandfather as his father died Vita Patris. He had been a ward of the Lord of Wexford, the Earl of Shrewsbury, who put him to school in England where he was a schoolfellow of Lord Burghley's. [http://butlerancestryireland.blogspot.com/2012/11/butlers-of-co-wexford-ch2-pierce-butler.html]

Nicholas appears to have been a name used by the Keatings of Kilcowan in Co. Wexford, a Nicholas Keating of Kilcowan being attainted by Henry VIII.
 
Keating, NN (I658)
 
258 A son John is recorded in an 1848 workhouse discharge entry. Rumsey, John (I5089)
 
259 A son or maybe a grandson??? of Henry Keating. Thomas mentions in his will an Uncle William Keating, but William the attorney (brother of Henry was long dead and so why would he be mentioned in the 1764 will of Thomas?) Keating, Thomas Coachmaker in Dublin, built houses in Merrion Square (I664)
 
260 A woman named Rose Donnelly, late of Campbell's Gully, expired rather suddenly, at the Hospital, on Tuesday last.

Among the railway routes mapped out by him were the track for the Highland Railway Company in Caithness, and the alternate proposals for the G.N.S.R. coast route. gave up land surveying for health reasons, and took road surveying its stead. From 1874 - 1883 he acted as road surveyor for the lower district of being recognised extremely capable and efficient official. In 1883 he secured the appointment of road surveyor for the county of Kirkcudbright, a position which he occupied for the long period of 23 years, retiring in 1906, and taking up residence in Kirkcudbright. Mr Grant is survived by a widow and grown-up family four — two sons and two daughters.

287 Aberdeenshire epitaphs and inscriptions : with historical, biographical, genealogical, and antiquarian notes, by John A. Henderson 1907:

THE CUMINES OF KININMONTH.

A tablestone bears:
To the memory of James Cumine of Kininmonth, who died May, 1803, aged 67. Also of May Ferguson, his spouse, who died November, 1770, aged 34 years, and of Elizabeth, Charles, and Sophia Cumine, their children, who all died young. As also of Charles Cumine of Kininmonth, father of the said decease James Cumine, who died anno 1764. aged 57. And of May Cumine, his daughter, and Alexander Cumine, his brother, both long since deceased, all interred in this place. This stone is erected by Alexander Russel of Moncoffer and Margaret Cumine, his spouse, daughter of the above-mentioned James Cumine. 1822.

The lands of Kininmonth were for a time in the hands of a branch of the Gordons, and thereafter of the Hays of Delgaty. In 1584. William Hay of Delgaty granted a charter to Elizabeth Keith, elder daughter of Robert Keith, Commendator of Deir, in life rent, and to Alexander Hay, his elder son and heir-apparent, of the said lands, including Mill of Perskow or Denend. (Reg. Mag. Sig. V., 1626.) William Hay of Delgaty and Kininmonth played an important part as agent and counsel for Bothwell when charged with the murder of Darnley. He espoused the cause of Montrose, and was present at the defeat at Invercharron. He was captured and beheaded 7th June, 1650. Shortly afterwards Kininmonth is found in the possession of the Cumines, a branch of the original Buchan family of that surname. Gavin Cumine — the first of the new sept — married Katherine, daughter of John Hay of Seafield — the dowry of the bride being one thousand pounds Scots. John Cumine, their son, succeeded. He married Mary Keith, of the Marischal family, and their son Charles became laird, and married Sophia, daughter of James, 15th Lord Forbes. He rebuilt the mansion house of Kininmonth, in 1740. Five years later he and his brother Alexander joined the rebels at Edinburgh, but through the intervention of powerful relatives were afterwards pardoned. Charles Cumine died in 1764, and was succeeded by his son James, who married May Ferguson of Kinmundy, who died in 1770 at the age of 34, as stated in the above inscription. In 1792, Margaret Cumine, elder daughter of this marriage, married Alexander Russell, son of Russell of Montcoffer, and thereby carried the property to the Russell family. The present proprietor is Major-General F. S. Russell, C.M.G., of Aden. Many of these particidars were contributed by Rev. Andrew Chalmers, Wakefield, who also generously allowed extracts to be taken from his very complete sketch, The Manor of Kininmonth.

294 According to Berry's Surrey Genealogies, Richard Glover purchased the farm of Norwoods in 1584. Glover, Richard Yeoman of Norwoods, Cudham, Kent (I5279)
 
295 According to descendant Christy Kelly, Thomas was farm foreman at Cappard to the Galbraiths of Cappard and built a house "Farnane" across the road from Cappard. Galbraith, Thomas (Tommy) Tenant farmer at Farnaun, Peterswell (I4)
 
296 According to her grandson Maurice O'Donoghue of Drumnacurra (son of her daughter Bridget), Bridget was a Dee of Cleandries townland, next door to Drumnacurra townland. With (i) Cleandries appearing in her marriage register entry, (ii) a Halloran witness at her marriage, and (iii) later family connections, this must be correct - Bridget's estimated birth year placing her nicely in a gap as the eldest child of William Dee and Elizabeth Halloran of Cleandries (no ascertainable baptismal register entry - as for brother John Dee born c 1830- but register in very poor condition). Dee, Bridget (Brighid) (I47)
 
297 According to Jack and Bridie's son Thomas Donohue in Jan 1980, his parents were not closely related. Family (F190)
 
298 According to Moray District Council Archives - libindx index [YET TO BE VERIFIED FROM A PRIMARY SOURCE] Dunbar, Patrick of Blervie (I2957)
 
299 according to the forms of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland. Family (F57)
 
300 According to Uncle Doug Grant, Ernie disappeared from NZ and was never heard from again. Doug thought he went to South Africa or somewhere. I traced him to Tasmania. As he was later a racehorse trainer, with a father who was a Primitive Methodist, there may have been some intolerance from his father. Lynn, Ernest James (Ernie) Racehorse trainer in Hobart, Tasmania (I787)
