In belated
response to some comments:
Sir Thomas Colclough’s daughter Martha, married John Pigott eldest son of Sir Robert Pigott of the
Dysert, Queens County, Knight she had issue.
So the Pigott
name remains close to Colcough in 1684 Sir Caesar Colclough of Tintern Abbey,
third and last Baronet of this family who died unmarried at Tintern September
22nd 1687 (no will proved or
administration, obtained in Ireland). He was succeeded in his estates by his
sister, in 1687 Margaret Colclough, who became heiress to his fortune. She
married, 1st marriage licence, Ferns 2nd October 1673, Robert Leigh of
Ballybrittas alias Rosegarland Co. Wexford Esq., and afterwards of Tintern in
right of his wife. He took the name of Colclough, and dying without issue, May
1695. Margaret Leigh Colclough married secondly 1696, as second wife to her
cousin Councillor John Pigott of Kilfenney, Co Limerick, who also assumed the
name of Colclough. He died 8th May 1717 and was buried in Saint Paul’s in
Dublin where a Tablet erected to his memory by his widow may yet be seen. His
will was proved 7th June 1717. Margaret
Pigott Colclough died without issue the 23rd April 1723. Her will was proved in
Dublin 2nd June 1723, and she was succeeded in the Manor of Tintern by her

Hall Co. Wexford, (Col Caesar)
All the above
