Looking for information on O’Donnell ancestors
I am looking for information on John (Sean) O’Donnell. I did have someone send me a message indicating that they had found baptism records for a John O’Donnell in July 1797 in your parish. I have found information that his birthdate could be 1797 or 1799. i am having trouble finding out much about him back in Ireland. He married Margaret Carroll in Ireland & I believe two of their children, Thomas & Mary were both born in Ireland before emigrating to Canada. Hope someone can help.

Mr Irwln—In consequence of what was said to you did you go to the house of Mr J Flavin?—I did, sir; he was In his shop, and I asked him what charge had he against me—did I do him any harm, or how did I deserve it; Mr Flavin then said to me to come to the League room to clear myself, I said I would; there was no more ; I left Flavin’s house then. (Witness continuing) said I remembered the 23rd April when he got a letter written to Flavin by his daughter; he remembered the following day Sunday the 24th; he attended at Listowel on that day and went to the Federation room; he saw Mr Flavin there ; he asked him If he had received his letter and Mr Flavin said he had. Mr Flavin then read the letter for the meeting, and his case was brought before it; John Dillane was there; Mr Flavin did not take the chair on that occasion, nor did he see anyone else in it; James Cotter was present-with others; Dillane did not bring any charge against him for having taken the land; he said he (witness) was an emergency man, and witness said that if he was an emergency man Dillane was another ; Cotter did not say anything but, ” Dooling it is better to settle and be good friends.”
