Notes

[1] Ryan: According to O'Donovan's "Antiquities," deposited in the Royal Irish Academy, Dublin, the O'Ryans of Idrone, county Wexford, are a distinct family from the O'Ryans of the counties of Tipperary and Waterford. Others, however, say that all these families are of the same stock.

Richard Ryan was born in 1796; his father was a London bookseller. He wrote a Dictionary of the Worthies of Ireland (Two Vols., 1821); Ballads on the Fictions of the Ancient Irish (1822); and Poetry and Poets (Three Vols., 1826). He died in 1849.
