A descendant Dr. Brian Donovan: Dr. John wasn’t a big fan of my great x3 grandfather as he was very much a loyalist. But he wasn’t an Orangeman, but instead was a Mason. The distinction was lost on Dr. John, can’t say I blame him!  I wrote a piece on John Donovan, the United Irishman, (an uncle of the man Dr. John met) which puts this in context. It was published for the gathering in 2000.

One of the family a subscriber to Dr. Daniel Donovan’s Sketches in Carbery.

John Glascott, Dublin Castle, (2 copies), mother Wexford Donovan, a Protestant sept of the O’Donovans originating in Carbery described by Dr. John O’Donovan as ‘rabid Orangemen”. He may have later changed his name to O’Donovan.
