Thanks Pat, very interesting. However, the James who was a Magistrate in 1795 I believe was a great grand son of James. He did have a son also James. However, according to a pedigree lodged in National Library, he was born in 1699. A deed dated 1779 mentions James the younger (decd) one of the sons of James. Another son Matthew who married Lucy O’Grady in 1727 also had a son James who died young. Matthew & Lucy also had a son John and a deed dated 1792 mentions a wife Frances and 10 sons, the eldest John who may be Captain of North Cork Militia and James who may have been a magistrate in the 1790s https://www.familysearch.org/…/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-Q9SR-W…https://www.familysearch.org/…/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJ4-4RLR…
