 I am attaching a letter from my gg grandfather’s brother, Edward Conner to this email.  I think you may find it interesting as it mentions some practices of the times as well as a lot of people from Ballineen, including Dr. Jagoe, who came to check on my 3 great grandmother when she was sick.  It mentions my ancestor’s brother, William Stephens Conner, who had joined the north from the state of Iowa, as a private.  Wm had obtained free 80 acres of land, first in Illinois, then again in Iowa.  He wanted to fight to preserve the country where he could own land.  What Edward did not know, is that my ancestor, Dr John McNamara-Swan Conner (O’Connor), had gone with William to serve as an unpaid doctor for Wm’s unit.  The mention of Tom, is Thomas Conner Jr, my gg grandfather’s eldest brother, who stayed in St john, New Brunswick as a teacher, never married, and passed away there.  There was also a sister who married a Jagoe from West Cork, however, so far as I know, they had no children.

John Kenney,  Vicar of Durrus, Kilcrohane, and Kilmacomoge (Bantry), stating, that in these three vicarages, contiguous and episcopally united, and in length about 24 miles, there is but one church, at Bantry; in consequence of which the inhabitants of Kilbrogan, and of these denominations of plowlands.

[CORK. contra, the following townlands of Durrus will be united to Kilmacomoge, viz., Letterlicky, Agagoheen, Arda, Ardevolebane, Beach, Blackrock, Bargurum, Capanalogher Clonee, Dromclogb, Donbittern, Derrigrinagh, Dromacousane, Dromleigh, Gurticlona, Glenlough, Knockikillen, Maulavard, Paurcana, and the Scarts. As the vicarages are now worth-Kilmocamore, £200; Durrus, £220, and Kilcroghan, £80, £500 in all-so, when the separation aforesaid takes place, Kilcrobane will be worth £250, and Kilmocamoge also £250, saving to present Vicar his rights, &c., for his incumbency.
