Donegal / Re: Colhouns of Donegal

I don't see a direct response to lmgnz's question about the equivalence of Corncammon and Corncamble. I found the following statement, which, while not definitive, does suggest they describe the same area:
"The family [Colhoun of Taughboyne] originated in parish Taughboyne, Co. Donegal about 1665, and the senior members owned the townland of Corncammon (aka Corncamble) in the adjacent parish of Allsaints."
