Notes
Charles OConor: Ward and Ward., eds., Letters of Charles OConor (1988), p.72; OConor, a neighbour at Belanagare, Co. Roscommon, calls him
undoubtedly a man of the first abilities in this nation, though
fatally jealous of the principles of many who injure the public by their
inability to serve it [... &c.], presumably meaning Catholics
excluded from office by their religion.
