[3] Sarah COULTER b 1812, daughter of Joseph COULTER & Jane IRWIN. Her father died when she was 3 years old.

[4] Dowdallshill in the County of Louth

[5] Samuel COULTER. It may that he is the older brother of Jane COULTER. There was a Samuel COULTER b 1802 who was a brother of Jane. We know nothing more about him.

[6] Rev. Daniel Gunn BROWNE (1808-1892). It is interesting that he would be made a trustee. His wife was Margaret JACKSON of Urker.

[8] Simon OWENS the elder (b abt 1770) married Christina McGEOGH.

[9] Simon OWENS the younger – a brother of Edward OWENS

[11] Robert DICKIE. Possibly the Robert DICKIE (1804-1880), son of James DICKIE & Euphemia PATTERSON of Killen, Co. Louth. He emigrated to Australia

[12] Killen. I am unsure of which Parish – Ballymascanlon or Kane, both in Co. Louth. I suspect the reference to “County of Dublin” is an error.
