A selection of notes from Beauchamp, Bernie and me

More notes of interest, my ambition is to set up a complete database of all the names I have come acros connected to our family...
So this post is another random copy from some documents from my uncle Bernie and Beauchamp...
Note:
In Enniscorthy Church Vestry Minutes Book in 1834, Caesar Colclough who was owner
of portion of the Rectorial tithe, who evidently had a front seat in the Church (pew
number 8), was requested “to lower the seat which has been raised above the level in
the Chancel, as the clergy and congregation are greatly inconvenienced by its
elevation”. There are also in St Iberius’ Church in Wexford Town pews to Mr. and
Mrs. Colclough still to be seen also above the rest of the other pews, probably at the
request of Caesar's wife.
Henry, the founder of the branch of Beauchamp Colclough’s family who was a
younger brother of Colonel Caesar, settled himself in Kildavin next to Newtownbarry
(Bunclody) in the County Carlow early in the 18th century. His eldest son, Dudley,
died unmarried, leaving by his Will his place of Bohermore, County Carlow, to his
next brother, Beauchamp, who also was left by his mother an undivided portion of
the Townsland of Bennekerry, near Carlow, but owing to unfortunate disagreements
between Beauchamp's widow and his mother, the latter, by her Will, left all the
remainder of her share of the “Beauchamp” property, and which was considerable,
to the son of her first husband, Bartholomew Barnes, with the remark that, “that he
always treated her with dutiful love and consideration”.
Mrs. Beauchamp Colclough however was left a considerable fortune by her Aunt
Miss Sarah McCarty, with remainder in moieties for life to her two sons, Henry and
Beauchamp, and their issue for ever. Henry obtained a partition of the Townsland of
Bennekerry, and resided there calling the place Mount Sion. The place eventually
came to the hands of Henry’s eldest son, Beauchamp, whose widow having played
much the same game as Mrs. Caesar Colclough of Tintern, sold Mount Sion to Mr.
Clayton Browne, and it now forms a part of the latter’s demesne.
Patrick the third son of Henry of Kildavin, managed to get hold of that place after his
father’s death, thus ousting the sons of his elder brother, and as I have been told, by
unfair means. My grandfather, Beauchamp, lived at lower Kildavin, under his Uncle
Patrick for many years, but finally joined my father (his son) in Canada where the
latter had received a part of Government wild lands for his military services, and on
which he had settled on retiring from the Army in 1817. Kildavin, like so much more
of Colclough Property, has long passed into stranger’s hands.
A curious coincidence often related to Beauchamp,(when he was a child) by his
father, and in which he was an doctor, occurred in the course of the war of 1812,
between Great Britain and the United States. The morning after a battle fought in
the frontiers of Canada, his father had been sent out with a piguet, to collect the
wounded and stragglers of both Armies, and in the course of his patrol through the
woods he came across a party of friendly Indians, who were dancing the war dance
around a prisoner, whom they had stripped naked, preparatory to putting him to the
torture. On seeing the party of soldiers approaching, the prisoner nerved by despair,
jumped clear over the hands of captors, and rushing up to my father, begged for
God’s sake he would save his life. His father at once placed him in the centre of his
party, and eventually succeeded in bringing him safe into the camp. He proved to be
a Captain Harris of the American Army, who fallen had into the hands of the Indians
the night before, and as they had lost some of their warriors in the fight his doom
was certainly sealed, if it had not been for the accident of the piguet having come his
way. He was exchanged some months afterwards for a British Officer, and rejoined
his own Army;
And two years after, it fell to his turn to repay the kind act he had received at my
father’s hands, by saving the latter’s life. My father was lying on the ground, in the
grey of the morning, after the battle and blowing up of Fort Erie, bleeding from nine
wounds, any one of which one would suppose, would have been enough to have
killed him, when he saw an American officer riding by, who proved to be his former
friend, Captain Harris, and who on recognising the wounded man, at once obtained a
party of American soldiers, and had my father removed to a place of safety, where
he attended him like a brother, as indeed he was, for they were both Freemasons.
My father’s name was sent home among the list of killed, and my mother was
mourning for months, before the joyful news reached her, that her husband had
been spared to her, and was in a fair way of recovery.
Of all the Great Duffry Estate, there now remains with the family, only 4 or 5
Townslands, and the Tithes of some of the Rectories under the grant of 16th Charles
I, together with the houses and premises in Wexford and Taghmon, obtained at the
same time. It would be difficult to enumerate the names of the parties, who now
enjoy the remainder, but the principal of them are, Lord Monk, Lord Carew, Mr.
Bridges, Sir Clement Wolseley, Mr. Blacker, the Harvey Family, Mr. Richards of
Grange, Colonel Phayre, Mr. Cookman, Mr.Cliffe and the representatives of Mr.
Rowe.
Of Duffry Hall, the former residence of the family, there only remains the
foundations, Mr. Rowe's tenant, after our family left, pulled the house down, and
carried off the materials to build a house elsewhere, and even the white stone on
which was inscribed the date etc. of the erection of the house, and which was
inserted in the front wall, over the Hall door, is no longer to be found.
The burial place of the Duffry Branch of the family, is a large enclosure, surrounded
with a high iron railing, with trees now growing in it, in the grave yard of the church
of Templeshambo, but there does not appear to have been any tombstones erected
there. (But in the old graveyard on the other side of the river there are the some graves stones still there thisyear (2002) from Bernie) And the old registry of the parish having been destroyed in the rebellion of1798, there is little there now to tell of the family who were the once proud owners
of all the surrounding country.(save the few Colclough families who possess some small farms in Ballygibbon, Killanne,andBallybawn area my family JC)
Sir Thomas Colclough was given a grant of the lands of Templeshambo
after a period of domination by the Mac Murrough- Kavanagh towards the
end of the 16th century. He settled the lands on his son Dudley Colclough
who resided at Monart. He was confirmed in those lands by Charles I in
1628. He owned in his own rights, land at Kiltealy, Mohurry, Ballybreen, and
Coolacarney, while holding other land jointly with Sir Morgan Kavanagh,
then resident at Clonmullan Castle near Bunclody. He also held Gurteen and
Cromoge jointly with Edmund Hyre while with William Byrne and a man
named Callaghan he held 750 acres in the vicinity of Clorogue and
Curraduff. In 1641, Dudley Colclough as before said, came into disfavour
and his lands were forfeit in the Cromwellian Confiscation. They were
divided amongst the new settlers and those from amongst the Old English
whose loyalty was not in doubt.
Of his land at Gurteen and Cromoge 85 acres were given to William and
James Swanton, 222 acres to Captain John Wackeman, 601 acres to Patrick
Colclough his son; 587 acres to Earl Anglesey. In Rossard, Ballylusk,
Booladurragh, 1265 acres were given to Oliver Wheeler, Henry Kenny and
Earl Anglesey. Wheeler also got 600 acres at Boolamore, Ballychrystal,
Carrignagree and Cloroguebeg. Patrick Colclough and John Cottrell were
given 750 acres at Curraduff, Cloroguemore, and Coolyvane and 458 acres
at “Ffarrandiggen and Ffarrangra (Near Ballindaggan ) were allotted to
Morris and Clayton. Dudley also lost 1400 at “Kiltealy, Mohurry,
Ballibreene, and Coolacarney” to John Cottrell, Matthew Stoddard and
Edward Carey. At Kilcullen, Boligbeg and Shroughmore, Dudley Colclough
and Hugh Brine, who were both described as Irish Papists lost a further 830
acres to Morris and Clayton, Patrick Colclough (Dudley's son) and Henry
Kenny. Much of this land was covered with mature timber and was a great
source of ready cash. Its export to England for the manufacture of staves
and as fuel for the smelters which were recently developed, was lucrative,
although it carried a heavy import duty on arrival.
After the restoration of Charles II most of the lands were restored to the
Colclough family, a notable exception, being that lands at Monart left in the
possession of Messrs. Clayton and Morris, who had set up a smelting works
there. These works were developed by one Colonel Robert Phayre and be
came known as Phayrefield, later changed to Fairfield, It wasn’t until 1818
that the distillery was set up there by Andrew Jameson.
Dudley Colclough died in 1663, and was succeeded by his son Patrick who
resided at Duffry Hall, which had been built about 1627. It was the
Colclough home certainly up to the 1798 rebellion. In 1683. Patrick
Colclough was granted a licence to hold two fairs annually, at Mohurry on
August 15th and October 27th, and a further fair at Wheelagower. As to the
records of Templeshambo some were destroyed in 1798.
Nearly two hundred years after the rebellion, the Church Warden of
St.Colmans, Church of Ireland in Templeshambo, Mr. Ken Hemmingway a
local historian and some others between 1983 and 1990 compiled a
historical record of Priests, Rectors and lay people, of both communities in
the adjoining cemeteries. One of the graveyards surrounds the Church of
Ireland, the other one is 500 yards to the south on the opposite side of the
Shanbo river. There is no religious distinction here,- Roman Catholics and
their Church of Ireland brethren are buried side by side.
In January 1990 a booklet (the fourth in a series) recording the Memorials
to the Dead , in the Diocese of Ferns, Co. Wexford, and some adjoining
parishes, has been compiled by FAS. This book was inspired by the series of
works by Brian Cantwell from his “Memorial of the Dead“. In St. Colmans
(1815) grave yard at the left hand side of the church, the Colclough vault
surrounded by railings are still to be seen (this year 2000). The family vault
is covered over by a mound. Inside the railed mound are buried the
following Colcloughs. This list is taken from the Burial Register (which have
survived ) published in the booklet “Memorials to the Dead of
Templeshanbo 1990.”

Inside the Church at South Wall.
Sacred to the memory Lieut. Colonel. Thomas Colclough Watson,
who departed this life at Dacca East Indies on the
30th April 1834. aged 46 years & 10 months,
He was suddenly removed by Cholera whilst in the enjoyment
of health & the greatest domestic felicity, loved & honoured
By the Officers & Men under his command & esteemed and
Respected by a numerous circle of friends and acquaintances,
His virtues, his talents, his liberality & amiable disposition
endeared him to all classes, He was a brave soldier, an active
and zealous Officer, a warm and steady friend, a tender &
most indulgent Husband, a fond Father & a sincere Christian.
He rested all his hopes on the blood and merits of his
Saviour Jesus Christ & when death came it found built
upon this Rock & he was not confounded but submissively
resigned his spirit & his earthly joys to Him who gave them.
He departed in peace
His Officers as a token of their regret & esteem have erected a monument
over his beloved remains in the Christian burial ground at Dacca to which
he was borne by his native non-commissioned Officers and Seboys an
uncommon proof of their love and veneration, for one who the they justly
looked upon as a Father.
“Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.”
Also in memory of Mary Watson who departed
this life on the 25th August 1834 aged 14 years & 3 months
on board the ship Mount Steward Elphinstone
at sea Lat., 13 degrees 50’ North, Long,83 degrees 50’ East,
She was a lovely and most promising child, gifted with piety,
talents & wisdom far beyond her years, the last months
of her life were passed in Christian submission to her
afflictions & in her tenderest efforts to comfort & assist her
widowed sorrowing mother who erects this monument in
honour of her most tenderly beloved Husband & darling Child.
They were lovely and pleasant
in their lives and in their death
were not divided.
“The sea shall give up its dead.”
On the south side of St. Colmans across the river in the old graveyard, there
are two grave stones side by side, one a Ledger,
IHS.
Here lie the Bodies of
Maryan Colclough,Adam Colclough
Maryan Colclough all infants
being children of Adam Esq.,
he second Ledger has a ladder carved on it and reads,
IHS.
here Lieth the bodies of Marianne? Colclough
alias Wade who departed this life the
24 th of the 7th 1756 aged 26 years
Lord have mercy on her soul.
Near the the Duffry Hall area, in Killann and Rathnure, there are a number
of graveyards with memorial stones to Colclough families, of which there is
no doubt that they are the relatives of the Colcloughs of Duffry Hall, and
Tintern. Some go back to the mid 1700s. There are also Colclough families
still living and farming there to this very day, on the same lands handed
down from their ancestors, and also land which they reclaimed and cleared
on White Mountain(See above these are my family JC).
The principal memorials now to be found in the ruins of the Old Church at Tintern
are enumerated elsewhere. There does not appear to have been any erected to Sir
Thomas Colclough, or his son Sir Adam, though both were buried there, but some of
the inscriptions are quite obliterated by time, and possibly by violence also.
In the centre of the Old Church is a Tomb erected to the late Caesar Colclough by his
widow, and there is a Tablet to his memory in the new Church (near Saltmills) which
latter also contains a Tablet to the memory of the late Rossborough Colclough, who
also was interred in the Vault under the old Church (which had been repaired and
enlarged by himself).

Hope you enjoy more to follow JC...

Mary, are entitled to a share in distribution of said effects, but that the whole

whereas by Articles of Settlement upon the intermarriage of the said Caesar with
his present wife, daughter of the said Agmondisham Vesey, and mother of said
Vesey Colclough, and dated the 18th of July 1721, the sum of £3,000 was provided
for the younger children of said Caesar, to be raised out of the towns and lands of
Lucan in the County of Dublin, and other the lands late the estate of the said
Agmondisham: And whereas the said Caesar Colclough and Vesey Colclough his
eldest son did, by certain articles dated the 23rd April 1744, agree to settle the
estates of Mohurry and Tintern, and all their estate in the said Counties of
Wexford and Catherlogh, to raise money for discharge of debts due from the said

and also a maintenance for the said Vesey, and to levy fines and to suffer

said Caesar's debts, and to raise the sum of £6000, as a charge on the said Estates
of Mohurry and Tintern, for the said younger children of the said Caesar, to be
disposed of by the said Caesar and Vesey, in Lieu of the £3000 chargeable on the

did by their said articles further agree settlement be made in proper form of their
whole estate, with power to be settled such jointure on any wife that Vesey
should marry, as the [said] Caesar and Vesey should appoint, and with remainders
as usual in family settlements, and with a power to the said Caesar and Vesey,
jointly to charge the said estates, with any sum or sums they should agree to
appoint, and whensoever the suit depending for recovery of Dunmain, between
the said Caesar and Aaron Lambert, or the said Caesar’s suit concerning the lands
of Rylane should be at an end, that the said Caesar should have by the said
intended settlements, a further yearly sum of £50 out of the lands when

the 1st May 1744, and should continue to said Vesey's marriage, and that upon
the said Vesey getting £10,000 or £12,000 portion with a wife, or such other sum
as the said Caesar and Vesey should agree to, the said Caesar and Vesey were to
enjoy the said whole estate by moities, and the said portion was to be in
discharge of the incumbrances affecting the estate, and it was further agreed
between them, that if the said £3000 should not be sufficient to discharge the
said Caesar's debts, and the said Vesey should join in raising more for that
purpose that then the said £50 a year, the addition to the said maintenance,
should be enlarged to a £100 a year; And whereas fines and recoveries were
levied and suffered in pursuance of the said articles, and the said Vesey soon after
intermarried without the consent of the said Caesar. And whereas, after the
marriage of the said Vesey, certain articles were entered into between the said
Caesar and Vesey, dated 17th January 1744 in pursuance of which a family
settlement was made, by which it was agreed, that the said Caesar give the said
Vesey £400 a year, out of such part of his estate as they should agree upon before
the execution of such settlement, and that the said Vesey should have power to
raise thereout £2000, for his sole and proper use, the interest whereof was to be
paid or the interest of the money for the use of said Caesar, and that the said
Vesey should have £300 a year, of the said £400 settled on him and his heirs, and
at his own disposal after the said Caesar's death and should have power to charge
the estate after the said Caesar’s death, with £3,000 for the provision of his
younger children, and a jointure of £400 a year for any wife, and to charge by will
the said £400 to be settled, with £3,000 for younger children, if the said Vesey
should die in the lifetime of said Caesar; And it was further agreed that the said
Vesey should join in raising £7000 for provisions for the said Caesar's younger
children, and also consent that the said Caesar should have the said £3000
secured upon the Lucan Estate, and should join the said Caesar in raising of £2000
on their estate at large, besides the £1000 already raised to be at the said
Caesar’s disposal, and that the said £7000 to be raised for the provision of the
said Caesar’s younger children should be disposed of amongst them, in such
manner as the said Caesar and Henrietta his wife, or the survivors of them should
appoint, and it was further agreed that upon perfection of a proper deed,
pursuant to this agreement, all the articles, of agreement before entered should
be cancelled, and that the said Caesar should give possession of lands, for the
payment of the interest of such sums as he should borrow upon a mortgage of
those lands. And whereas soon after the perfection of the said last recited
articles, the said Vesey Colclough came to the city of Dublin, with an intent to
have the said settlement drawn and perfected, but in a few days fell ill, and after
a very short illness, and before a settlement could be prepared pursuant to the
said articles, that the said Vesey died intestate, leaving his wife encient, who hath
lately been delivered of a son, named Vesey, so that the said articles could not be
carried into execution as was intended, to the great prejudice of said Vesey's
Family, as well as the said Caesar. And whereas Mary Colclough, widow and relict
of the said Vesey hath been appointed guardian by the Court of Chancery, to the
said Vesey her son, which said Vesey is left in a very destitute condition, and
without any manner of provision for his support by the death of his said father,
before the said last recited articles could be effectually carried into execution,
whereupon the said Caesar his grandfather, and the said Mary have come to an
agreement to make provisions for immediate support and education of said
Vesey, in manner hereinafter mentioned, that is to say-£130 a year until he is 13
years old, and £200 a year after until he is 21 years, and after that £400 a year
during the joint lives of the said Caesar and his grandson Vesey, and the said
Caesar has agreed to set out lands of greater yearly value than the said several
payments. And whereas the said Caesar hath four younger sons and six daughters
Agmondisham, Adam, Thomas, and Richard, Frances, Mary, Margaret, Harriet,
Anne, and Lora, for whom a very small provision is made by the said Caesar's
marriage settlement, and the said Caesar's debts which will not affect the said
real estate after the said Caesar's death, are computed to amount to £5000. And
whereas the said Caesar hath laid out and expended large sums of money upon
the lands and premises so settled, equal to the debts now owed by him and
thereby greatly improved the inheritance thereof in their annual value. And
whereas, the prosecution of a suit in equity, upon the said articles perfected by
the said Caesar and Vesey, in the names of the said Caesar's creditors, against
him, his wife, and all his children, and trustees in the said settlement, and against
the said Agmondisham Vesey, or those entitled to the said Lucan estate, which is
subject to the said £3000, and against the said posthumous child, would on
account of the number of parties and the minority of some of them, be very
tedious, and the circumstances of the said Caesar and his said creditors and
younger children require a speedy remedy. Wherefore the said Caesar Colclough
on behalf of himself and of his said creditors and younger children and Mary
Colclough, mother and guardian of said Vesey, on behalf of her said son, pray it
may be enacted. And be it enacted by the King’s most excellent Majesty, by and
with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons in
the present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same that all the
said lands, tenements and hereditaments, hereinbefore expressed, with their
appurtenances, be from the 25th March 1746, vested in the actual sessions of

County of Wexford, Esq., and their heirs, to the use, intents and purposes, herein
after mentioned, that is to say as to the towns and lands of Grange of Kilmore,
Ballyroan, and Kinnegh, of the clear yearly value £137-12-6 to the use of the said
Vesey Colclough during the joint lives of the said Caesar and Vesey, and to the
lands of Garrycullan and St. Keirans of the clear yearly value of £95-16-6 to the
use of the said Caesar for 13 years, from the 25th March 1746, and after expiration
of that term to the use of the said Vesey during the joint lives of the said Caesar
and his said grandson. And as to the towns and lands of St. Leonards, Ballyhackby,
Coolroe, Ballytarsney, Castletown and Ballybought otherwise Roestown, of the
clear yearly value of £175, to the use of the said Caesar for 21 years, from the 29th
September, 1745, and after the expiration of that term, to the use of said Vesey,
during the joint lives of the said Caesar and his grandson. And it is hereby
declared, that the rents issues, and profits of the said lands, shall and may be paid
to the said Mary Colclough while she shall continue guardian and to any other
guardian who may be hereafter appointed for the education and maintenance of
the said Vesey Colclough. And as to all and singular, the said other towns, lands,
tenements, and hereditaments, with their appurtenances, to the intent and
purpose that the said John Lyons and William Bridges and their heirs shall and
may by sale and sales and mortgage or mortgages of the same and, or competent
part thereof, levy and raise, (as soon as conveniently may be) in the first place
such sums of money as will be sufficient to defray the expense of passing this Act,
and also as much money as will pay the debts of the said Vesey, eldest son of the
said Caesar, so as the said Mary, widow of said Vesey, be entirely discharged
therefore, and not to exceed the sum of £400. And in the next place, to raise the
sum of £2000, to be paid by them unto John Jervaise White, of Ballyellis, County
Wexford Esq., his executors, and administrators upon trust, to apply the same in
discharge of such of the said Caesar's debts (which will not affect his real estate
after his death) as he the said Caesar shall by any deed or writing, or by his last
will, direct and may by sale etc., or mortgage of the residence of the said lands,
and or a competent part thereof, raise and levy the sum of £7000 for the younger
children, and when the said sums are raised, then the said trustees shall and may
by sale etc., or mortgage of the residue of the said lands etc., or competent part
thereof, raise and levy the sum of £7,000 for the said younger children, to be paid
and distributed amongst them, as the said Caesar and the said Henrietta, or the
survivor shall appoint. And after the payment of the said sums of £2000 and
£7000, and the expenses and debts aforesaid, and the payment of the aforesaid
rents, payable to the said Vesey, to the intent and purposes that the said trustees
etc., shall stand seized of such part of the said before mentioned lands etc., as
shall remain unsold, and the equity redemption of such part thereof as shall be
mortgaged, to the use of the said Caesar, for and during the term of his natural
life, and from and after his decease, to the use of such person or persons, for such
estates, trusts, and intents, as he or they are now entitled unto, freed and
discharged from any provision heretofore made or intended to be made for the
younger children of the said Caesar by the said settlement Articles or either of
them, or any other deed whatsoever, provided always, and be it enacted by the
authority aforesaid, that the said Caesar Colclough, shall pay and discharge all quit
rent and crown rents, and all debts, charges and encumbrances payable out of or
any way effecting the said lands and premises, or any part thereof, settled on the
said Vesey, or otherwise indemnify and save him harmless therefrom, so that he
the said Vesey may receive the full maintenance settled upon him as aforesaid,
provided also that the said Caesar shall and may settle such jointure or any other
