Notes

[1] Francis: This worthy clergyman, the Rev. Francis O’Neill, whom as a Priest we have known for some thirty years, is the present learned and esteemed Catholic curate of Donabate, in the county and diocese of Dublin. To him we here beg to return our best thanks for the great assistance which he has kindly rendered to us in disentombing from the dead past the genealogy of his family; which can now, in the catena before us, justly connect their lineage with the once illustrious House of O’Neill, Princes of Tyrone. This, in itself, is a glorious inheritance. May we live to see the Rev. Father Francis O’Neill, after such a long and faithful service in the Ministry, soon elevated to a more exalted position in the Church than that which he now so honourably holds!
