JJ James (Jeremiah) Joseph Callanan, 1786 died Lisbon 1829, Cork Poet bridging Gaelic Irelad with Irish Literature in English, Aonghus Ó Dalaigh, poems.

The Trinity Alumini records record him as Pensioner admitted 6th July 1801, aged 15, Roman Catholic, son of Hogn Pyhsician educated Mr. Lee Vernon 1805 see Allibone.

Presumably a brother slightly different spelling ‘Callinan’ Thomas educated Mr. Barrington admitted 5th July 1802.

Walker’s magazine records a marriage in November 1779 between John Callanan MD and Miss Cooper, Barry’s Court, daughter of William. It is possible that Cooper is a version of Coppinger and might account for his schooling in Cobh.

http://www.corkpastandpresent.ie/history/batch2/bradyvol2/#/458/

He also mentions Fontaine a French Huguenot based in a Maritime enterprise in Berehaven he preached and most of the Protestants attended out of curiosity.   Among the Berehaven colony of about 13 families was the ancestor of Davy Crockett.

In the Bandon Genealogy site there is a reference to  Quaker families from Skibbereen with the Massey and Houlden families mentioned.
