Thank you jytefas and Clinhug for your outreach. For those unfamiliar, I have been working through the Wexford hub to track down Clinch ancestors in late 1700 and 1800's. My effort to date has been centered on figuring out the genealogy of Fr. Thomas Clinch who died at the Battle of Vinegar Hill, 1798. He is described by several primary sources as a tall and big man, as was my immigrant ancestor who arrived at New York 1853.
Fr. Clinch's Bishop writing in the heated aftermath of the failed revolt tells of him being a native of Camoliln (north of ferns). Several writers tell of the family moving to the area of Glenbrien shortly after his birth (Townland of Oulartwick).
Following his death, there seems to be a trend of naming sons Thomas within this family group. I am aware of 2 Thomases in mid 1800 in USA. My GGGrandfather from Ireland settled north of Chicago by 1860 near to a Thomas Glynch and brother Joseph Glynch. Nearby farms bear names of other 1798 rebel families.
The photo the Camolin Officers in uniform is of interest to me. learning of the 1798 to 1850 space is of continued interest.
