Spinner, and had issue two sons viz. 1. Thomas Vesey, of Frankfort, Kings County
who died without issue 1844; 2. William, died in India s.p. 1842.
I have been at considerable trouble in trying to make out the origin of this
family, the present representatives at one time claimed to be descended from the
Rev. Thomas Colclough, son of Colonel Caesar Colclough, then from Thomas son of
Dudley Colclough of Duffry Hall, and lastly I believe from Thomas one of the younger
sons of Adam of Boley, but it is needless to say that there is no legitimate grounds
for any of these suppositions,
I am strongly of the belief, that they are a branch of the Westmeath and
Meath family before given, partly from the similarity of Christian names and the
names of families that both seem to be connected with, and partly from the fact set
forth by Timothy Colclough himself in an E.E Bill that he was born on Lord
Lansdown’s Estate in the Kings Co, that Estate extending into Co. Westmeath to the
immediate neighbourhood of Clondaleeby, possibly the Thomas Colclough from
whom they do descend may have been a son of the Michael Colclough, the head of
the other family whose tombstone is still to be seen in Clondaleemore.

Thomas Colclough and Elizabeth Doyle M.L (Marriage licence JC). 10th March 1757, (Ferns Registry).
****************************************
A family of Colcloughs whose origins I (Beauchamp, JC) can not trace have been located in the Co.
Kilkenny for many generations. The following entries referring to members of it, are
taken from a registry book of Ferns, Ossory, and Loughlin in 1879 in the Probate

The foregoing Samuel Colclough had a daughter Jane Colclough as appears by an E.E.
Bill in which he was Plaintiff dated 14th November 1811, he states that he was bred
up to the Carpenter and Builders Trade, and in comfortable circumstances. There is
also an assignment registered in the Deeds Office in 1813, and from the above
Samuel Colclough to John Colclough.
Robert Colclough, a private in the Kilkenny Legion (militia) 1804, vide Kilkenny Arch.
Journal, 1855 Page 273.
A William Colclough was one of the Judges at a Cockfight at Kilkenny in 1816 vide
Kilkenny Arch. Journal. 1853 page 326.
... Colclough (probably of Clonmonto) had two sons, one whose Christian name is not
known married, and had issue with other children two sons, viz. 1. John. 2 George,
who were living in 1877 at Clomanto Mills near Johnstown, Co. Kilkenny.
The other son, William of Goresgrove Nr Freshford Co. Kilkenny married Ellen,

named, two sons viz.

Queens Co. and had issue, with five other children not named, three sons and
three daughters viz.

they were joined by John and Richard in 1855, Mary Anne married Richard

English woman name not known and had issue one son William of Sans Souci,
Forrest Hill, Kent, who married at Byculla, India, 1st January 1862 Frances
daughter of Thomas Benton, of London, and had issue a large family. This man
appears to have made a large fortune in India, part of which as I am informed
by his friend Mr Payne of D.W. and W. Railway, he has now invested in a
business (Distillery) in the west of Ireland.

Maybe of interest for research

Here are some members of the wider family listed by Beauchamp in the late 1800's ...
I hope some names reverberate, maybe of help if you're looking for connections.
