1798 Uprising & March

1798 brought 5000 Croppies from County Wexford on their march to Dublin through the Castlecomer area.  Some of the residents lost property.  The below chart was transcribed from the book, Castlecomer Connections by Tom Lyng (1984)
His notes:  "List of Castlecomer connection persons who submitted Claims for losses sustained at the time of the '98 Rising...were made to "the Commissioners for enquiring into the losses sustained by such of his Majesty's Loyal Subjects, as have suffered in their Property by the Rebellion."  Spellings are as submitted.
