The Carlos Family

[Joan Earnshaw]

I'm looking for information about William Carlos who was born in late 1800s in Roscommon County and Catherine Crane who was born about the same time in Roscommon County. They both immigrated to the states and lived in Brownsville, IN. They were probably Catholic and knew each other in Ireland before getting married in Indiana (so the story goes). <br>I would appreciate knowing if any of the Carlos family is still about? Where to look for information on birth records, etc.?<br>Thanks in advance.<br>

These countries were sub-divided into townlands (in some parts of Ireland known by the denomination, i.e. name, of ploughlands) which are called Ballys, as in Doohie Hanly, Bally na nagulluh Gyllstown, Bally Gilleclinne, the town of the chlinnes Ballyf eeny, &c.<br>These townlands are all in the parish of Kilglass, but Keogh has spelled them in a very slobbering manner; they should be spelled thus: Bally-na-nghullub, BAILE NA NGIOLLA, now Gillstown; Bally gille clinne, BAILE MHIC CIOLLA CHLAOIN, now called Ballykilcline, but most correct in the Inquisitions, Bally Gillechleone; Ballyfeeny, BAILE UI FIDHNIGH, now Ballyfeeny. The three families after whom these townlands were named exist in the country still, and now Anglicise themselves: Gill, Cline, or Kilcline (Cloyn) (not Clinne, short) and Feeny.

The ring of the fort was nearly levelled about fifteen years ago, when the present wall enclosing the churchyard was erected. Until then the Lis, which was planted with white thorns, was the only enclosure, and prevented the pigs from disturbing the bones of the O'Duffys, which the present wall does not (because the gate is left open). Besides this church, there were two others in the parish; one called Teampull Riabhach, which stood within 8 perches to the S.E. of the present church, and another in the upper (i.e., south) part of the townland of Ballinafad, on the summit of the hill, and about three-quarter mile south from the present church of Lissonuffy. We learn from the Annals of the Four Masters, at the year 1471, that the true name of this place is Lios Ua n-Dubhthaigh, that is the fort of the O'Duffys, and that it was in Mac Branan's country, "A.D. 1741, Donnell (son of Cormac, son of Manus, Mac Branain, was treacherously slain at Lios Ua n-Dubhthaigh (arx Duffiorum), in violation of the guarantee of the lords and chieftains of the Sil-Murray, by Con, the son of Teige Mae Branain, who had submitted to him some time before." &c.<br>The marble monument, to which Dr. O'Conor makes the following reference, is still to be seen in this churchyard.<br>"The O'Conors Roe and O'Conors Sligo who branched from this family in later times are extinct.
