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.

by his friend Mr Payne of D.W. and W. Railway, he has now invested in a
business (Distillery) in the west of Ireland.
