That which follows hereafter in the succeeding pages is, admittedly, but a very rough attempt at a very preliminary draft of a very complex work; yet it is, even as it stands at present, the most thorough and complete such compilation on this subject ever assembled to date in one place as a single unit. It has been made possible thus far only through the wonderfully dedicated and devoted efforts of many choice and gracious souls far too numerous to acknowledge here, whose willing responsiveness has truly been a thing of beauty to behold. Only through the repeated redoubling of such efforts now and in the future can it ever become, as hoped and projected, a record worthy of all acceptation. Much has been done; much more remains to be done, even much more than has been heretofore.
The primary reasons for releasing copies of this material, such as it is, at this stage, are principally twofold - firstly to satiate in some part or measure the honest, eager and enthusiastic appetites of so many who have waited so patiently for so long, by showing as much as we now know; and, secondly, to serve as a sort of mammoth questionnaire, by showing also just how very much we do not now know. The latter is most crucial, and we must now again appeal for help in general as never before in improving the nature and quality of the data here presented. May the enclosed work serve as a catalyst which will stir an added impetus and incentive in impelling all of us ever onward toward that grand and noble objective.
Permission is hereby willingly and gladly granted and the invitation openly extended for any and all interested parties anywhere to freely reproduce, copy or distribute at will at any time, by any means, in whole or in part, whatever information may be desired from the contents hereof. Indeed we strongly urge and encourage the continued dissemination of this material from one to another on a scale as wide as practicable and possible. In return we only at this time ask, prevail upon and implore each and every individual obtaining access to it to very diligently pore over it and most thoroughly peruse to his or her satisfaction those portions of which he or she may possess some degree of personal knowledge and awareness, ascertaining all the while the particular extent of completeness and correctness of the facts there represented. We simultaneously beseech each and every person to specifically seek out and assess as many errors or omissions as may come to light, and to carefully note also any and all recollections or clues, however vague or obscure, which might conceivably have a bearing or influence in any way at all upon the course of future research for further relevant items now missing from the collection. Finally, we beg each and every party who can possibly do so in any way, to ensure that as many discrepancies or needed improvements as can be found by them upon such examination will be communicated to us or brought to our attention for consideration and action, regardless of how minor or insignificant a given point may at the moment seem. It cannot be overstated or overstressed that nothing is ever too small or too unimportant.
After much consideration as to efficiency and effectiveness, the present loose-leaf format has been developed and adopted for this work for reasons stated in the "Explanatory Notes" section of the larger, expanded version which was previously made available to a very few members on an experimental basis. Owing to the reactions and responses received, that rather heavy, bulky format has now been relegated only to the official Master Copy, and the enclosed records are here presented in a much more compact, consolidated, yet still complete, fashion. The entries herein contained precisely and exactly parallel the larger Group Sheets earlier employed, and every item of information included therein is also identically reproduced here, with the exception that the blank lines and empty spaces have been eliminated or replaced by question marks in the interest of reducing and conserving space, and the text has also been more solidly condensed into this smaller, more compressed arrangement for the sake of convenience and according to the requirements expressed and requested. The general principle of the Group Sheet method itself has in recent years become so universally well-recognised that it seems no longer necessary to reprint in this abridgement the many pages of instructions previously designated "Explanatory Notes", and they have thus been omitted, likewise for the sake of fewer pages and more manageability. They are, however, obtainable should anyone desire to insert them hereafter.
There are a variety of other reasons also for finally settling upon retention of the loose-leaf method upon which the former procedure was based. As before, the entire compilation is thus safeguarded against obsolescence. For our own part, whenever even the slightest detail by way either of correction or update is submitted to us, we shall accordingly, as speedily as may reasonably be in the circumstances, endeavour to prepare a revision of the page or pages affected, and proceed to forward a replacement to all persons known to possess copies. Thus all volumes in individual hands will hopefully still be kept entirely parallel and identical in every way both to each other and to the Master Copy itself, insofar as available facts permit. Accordingly we highly recommend that all those obtaining or having possession of a copy of this compilation or any part of it should be certain to register same with us, simply because this is the only means by which we can possibly know to whom updates and revisions ought to regularly be sent as we are ourselves apprised of such changes and new facts. Inasmuch as the special "Book of Remembrance" album cover or binder prepared for the larger Group Sheets will not properly fit this reduced format, it is further recommended that this work be placed in a standard ring binder or prong folder of such type, style and quality as the individual may select in accordance with his or her own preferences and personal tastes.
Lastly of all, in closing we wish each and every one of you, in all sincerity, the utmost success and happiness in all your endeavours, genealogical and otherwise, and we shall certainly very deeply and gratefully appreciate hearing at any time from anyone whose desire it is to write. Your comments, opinions, observations, suggestions and corrections will also all be most eagerly anticipated indeed.
(It has been deemed expedient, advisable and desirable to extract, insert and include in abridged and amended form herein, as points of information for general distribution, only the following reduced versions of two items of explanation from our former more expanded and voluminous Explanatory Notes previously published and issued on limited scale. The remainder, owing to their bulk, and being for the most part largely if not principally merely matters of organisational policy and procedural guidelines, have now been fully reconsidered and found primarily redundant and unnecessary to this manuscript, inasmuch as the greater applicability of their design in fact tends moreover toward the larger, more formal or official Group Sheet style or format in any case. Consequently they have therefore accordingly been otherwise wholly omitted from this compilation and will not be reprinted at this time, except by virtue of being made available by special and specific request. Although further queries are always cheerfully received and welcomed as to methods for dealing with various situations or circumstances which may from time to time or on occasion arise, as well as reasons or logic for arbitrarily implementing certain decisions and standards herein, it is regardless meanwhile thought, felt, supposed and presumed that many of the appropriate solutions and answers will in all probability also in most cases become quite readily clear, apparent and obvious upon, through, in the course of, or after even superficial examination and study of these records entirely without inclusion of the more complex and detailed rules and regulations formerly established solely for the Compiler's own instruction and guidance in maintaining conformity throughout.)
In order to deduce the specific lineage of any person, persons or branch herein contained backward toward the earliest extant record or first recorded progenitor on the ascending pedigree, one need simply select the relevant parent atop the entry in question whose data as shown includes the identities of his own parents in turn followed by the parenthetical phrase "(to whom refer)"; then proceed alphabetically to the entry for the couple to whom so referred, indexed always for the sake of consistency and clarity under the masculine surname, and again repeat the process.
In order to deduce the specific lineage of any person, persons or branch herein contained forward toward the latest generation of recorded posterity on the descending pedigree, one need simply examine the list of offspring presented in the entry in question and select from amongst same the child or children whose issue it is desired to further trace. If the child thus selected be male, one merely notes the name of his wife, then refers alphabetically in turn to the entry for such couple, indexed always for the sake of consistency and clarity under the masculine surname, and the process is then again repeated. If, conversely, the selected child be female, it is necessary only that one instead note the name of her husband, then refer to that couple's own entry likewise alphabetically under his surname rather than hers, and proceed as before adumbrated.
The Individual Nuclear Family Group Entries are simply listed alphabetically by Husband's surname, and within a surname by Husband's given names. Where the Husband's complete name is identical to more than one individual, such persons are indexed according to order of birth. Information contained within each such entry is arranged internally according to a complex prearranged and standardised formula. Unmarried persons appear only within their parents' entries and require no additional entry for themselves, inasmuch as such would be repetitious, redundant and unnecessarily self-defeating of its purpose, namely the addition of further otherwise unrecorded data for spouse and offspring.
Whilst perfection is neither expected nor in every instance possible, the ideal concept and goal toward which is being striven in this work would of course be for each and every entry throughout this record to ultimately be expanded to contain as much as is now humanly recoverable concerning even the minutest details of each and every life. Inconsequential as some of this data may appear at present, this may well one day prove to be the only such record remaining upon the face of the whole earth wherein certain of these facts, of inestimable interest to countless future descendants in generations yet unborn, may be found preserved. All readers are therefore most earnestly solicited to contribute any such information as now remains at their disposal or accessible to them, for further incorporation into this work.
In addition it is anticipated that as detailed a narrative biography as can be compiled pertaining to each life, whether Husband, Wife or child, should eventually be appended to each individual entry, including every bit as much as can be reconstructed of each person's activities, adventures and personality, as well as any and all surviving anecdotes surrounding same. Such material may be submitted either in the form of rough jottings or a final draft; all necessary adjustments will be accordingly made for publication, with all due care being taken to retain intact the integrity of the account itself. In the case of a personal autobiography the same may also be couched in the first person if so desired.
Finally it is further intended that pictorial sheets may also in due course be reproduced and inserted throughout the text as additional pages, illustrating and depicting each individual at various stages and periods of life, together with those places, objects, buildings, scenes, landmarks or events which may have been familiar to the person or which may have played a role, however great or small, in shaping any aspect of his mortal existence. Where no authentic likeness of the actual person is presently known to exist for possible reproduction purposes there remains still nothing to preclude inclusion of these other relevant items connected with his life or times which may help restore his story to life once more; indeed in such cases, and especially in absence of anything more personal, such other additional visual aids necessarily become to a greater or lesser extent even all the more desirable and useful from the standpoint of placing the bare facts within more suitable and appropriate context and better, more human, perspective.
Readers are wholeheartedly invited to scrutinise the entries contained herein, and to forward any of the following data which may be missing, even though it be but a single item at a time if no more is available. Whilst the format for each entry follows a very rigidly structured and meticulous pattern of arrangement, readers are encouraged simply to contribute data without in any way or sense personally concerning themselves overly much with the integral mechanics of organisation in its final form.

1. Finally, it need only be clarified that throughout this work the specific terminology in reference to place-names follows insofar as possible the usage current in each instance at time of event. Consequently changes in designation, jurisdiction or status for a given locality over a period of time may be reflected either from one entry to another, or even within a given entry. It will therefore not be at all uncommon to find an entire change of name for a community, or alteration in type or order of local government units, as well as various other combinations or permutations which may from time to time appear at first to the uninitiated as possible errors, inconsistencies or omissions; however, every care has been taken to enter such changes consistent with the historically proper style of the moment.
Certainly a native Irish name of great antiquity, and a family of purely Irish stock and stem insofar as any such so be, � Dobhailen, � D�bhlain or � D�bhl�inn (in Old Irish) has been modified in more modern times to � D�lain, and now translates into English in a considerable number and variety of forms, including Dolan, Dolin, Doolan, Doolin, Dooling, Dooly, Dowley, Dowlan, Dowlin, and Dowling, to cite a few amongst others. The original Gaelic signifies, intriguingly, "Black Defiance" or "Black Challenge", in either case an epithet to which its bearers have consistently lived up across the subsequent centuries.
Although as indigenous as any may be to a land wholly and entirely devoid of any true aboriginals, (in truth a verity necessarily by definition current everywhere this side of Eden and of everyone short of Adam), in actuality they were an integral part of the noble lineage of the U� M�ine, (otherwise Hy M�ine or � M�ine), or Tribe of M�ine, descending from M�ine M�r, or M�ine the Great, himself fourth in descent from Colla-da-Chrioch, (in turn Chief of the Oirghialla and the first King of Oriel, head of a mighty Clan in its own right which, under the "Three Collas", of whom he was one, conquered the ancient Ultonians or Ulsterites and seized most of the old Province of Ulster). Through the veins of their founder M�ine (and hence of his descendants including the Doolans) flowed the blood of such earlier historic and illustrious characters as Conn of the Hundred Battles and Heremon the Wise, (ranked by traditional count as the 80th and 37th generations, respectively, in direct male line since Creation, enumerating from Father Adam, - otherwise Michael, the Archangel of the Heavens, - as ultimate eponymous and first Patriarch of the human race), as well as of numerous other notable and celebrated High Kings of Ireland, Pharaohs of classical Egypt, Monarchs and potentates from around the ancient world, and significant Old Testament figures revered by countless millions across the millennia.
According to the seannachies and priests, all persons embraced by the direct Patriarchal Order, (which is to say all the burgeoning household of Adam), originally conversed in the pure Gaelic, the truest tongue that ever was, down until construction of the great Tower under direction of the mighty huntsman Nimrod and other descendants of Shem and Ham, sons of Noah; whereafter its practice became confined and restricted to, and remained intact only amongst those led by Baoth, in the 13th generation of man, son to Magog and grandson to Japheth, Noah's other son, they having already withdrawn and departed from their kindred in disgust at a time previous to the confounding of the languages at Babel, - and thus their perfected primeval speech, reportedly the pristine Adamic dialect of Eden, survived, unscathed, the wrath of an offended and outraged Deity.
On the distaff side, through Tea Tephi, Princess of Judah and Queen of Ireland, (one of the "King's daughters" mentioned in Holy Writ at the time of the fall of Jerusalem), there likewise came into the family the literal seed not only of her great-grandfather and guardian the Prophet Jeremiah of Biblical fame, but also of the Royal loins of her paternal forebears King Solomon and King David, as well as through them of Judah, his father Jacob or Israel and all the Patriarchs of old, including Abraham, "Father of the Faithful", with whom the Lord covenanted, the righteous Shem, (alias Melchizedek, that great High Priest and King of Salem or Jerusalem), son of Noah and ancestor of the Semites, and Noah himself aboard his fabled Ark wherein mankind was preserved from the Great Deluge; and, spanning the antedeluvian Patriarchal Era, so on back even once more to the First Man, First Parent and Founding Patriarch of all.
Yet again from the selfsame exalted bloodline descends an inherent though priceless twofold gift of grace to humanity in the form of the dual Birthrights of Judah and Ephraim, which had remained united until the time of Jacob or Israel, who separated them under Divine Inspiration when administering his final Priesthood blessings to his posterity. Firstly, there proceeds from the former the undoubted Divine right and Regal claim embodied today through unbroken hereditary succession across the tides of time within the sacrosanct Personage of our present gracious Sovereign as indisputable legal and lawful Heir of Line and Representative both of the Throne of David which was ordained to stand forever over the House of Israel, the oldest, worthiest and most incomparable reigning House upon all the earth, and of the grand and Eternal blessings pertaining thereto, previously pronounced and bestowed in their fulness upon the hallowed head of Judah, son of Israel, and his legitimate successors down to the present moment and beyond, pursuant to the terms of certain glorious prophecies and promises of the inviolable Abrahamic Covenants; and, secondly, by virtue of certain other equally unlimited and irrevocable clauses similarly enshrined in the same Holy Covenants, (concerning the then-future Divine role and destiny of the British peoples specifically and the peoples of Northern Europe generally as Modern Israel and, as such, the one and only Chosen Race of Israel's God, duly charged with the awesome calling, responsibility and duty of colonising and civilising all the world's peoples preparatory to the Second Coming in Glory of His beloved Son, the Redeemer and Saviour of the universe), comes the rightful lineal inheritance of the Birthright of the Firstborn of Israel, implicit therein and additionally long since brought to pass through the physical agency of yet another ancestral line, this time stemming from Ephraim, son to Joseph, and transmitted faithfully in accordance therewith, unaltered and unadulterated, without abrogation or abridgement, to the eldest worthy male of each generation, from one to the next, Patriarch to Patriarch, by strict primogeniture, down the imposing procession of the centuries, from that day to this, as the Heir-Male and hereditary head of the whole human family of Adam. (Interestingly enough, a daughter to Joseph and sister to Ephraim, when Joseph was Grand Vizier of Egypt, married the Pharaoh of the Two Lands, and it was their son, upon ascending the Throne of Upper and Lower Egypt, who attempted to set aside the old, corrupted beliefs - which had descended through the lineage of Ham in a spurious effort to lay claim to the right of Priesthood from which Ham's marriage to a descendant of the accursed Cain forever debarred them, - and who instituted instead his noble grandfather's purer teachings and the worship of the one true God over all the land of Egypt, where the convoluted and pagan notions of the negroid Cainite-Hamite race of rulers had previously long been adopted and perpetuated by the newer Shemite or Semite Arabic dynasties even after the deposition of the former lineage and their expulsion to the southernmost reaches of the Realm.)
Moreover, of that same sacred fount springs forth the source of patrimony of most, by far, of the mightiest Clans, noblest Names and foremost families of both Ireland and Scotland, (and via a separate route of descent, England), amongst the greatest of which must ever be reckoned those long-nigh-invincible dynasties of MacDonald and Campbell, to allude but to two amidst the many; each, if truth be told, merely a branch of the immeasurably grander family headed by our beloved Royal Liege, the Chief of all the Chiefs, in whom resides full custody, duly and of right reposed and vested, and who, in tangible fulfilment of the decreed Word according to revealed Scriptural Law, continues at this hour to grace the glittering Imperial Throne of the most august and pre-eminent Empire the world has ever known, - the most ancient and venerable Throne in all the world and the actual Throne of the House of Israel, - the most basic and fundamental core principle and concept, the realisation and recognition of which veritably binds all else together into one cohesive unit; and all jointly and severally perpetuating on a greater or lesser scale or degree within the extent of their own relative spheres and beings, their individual part and portion of the grand scheme and design which is the matchless combined heritage and grandeur of the singular House of Israel, through the prodigal Ten "Lost" Tribes, whose protracted wanderings and perambulations by land and by water through and around Asia, Africa and continental Europe en route to these "Isles of the West" or "Isles of the Sea" have been and remain sufficiently well enough documented and recorded by their contemporaries in the annals of the ages and the records of the race to be readily identifiable to any and all who choose or care enough to seek and sift them out, - as will surely one day be brought to light of day before the eyes and ears of the whole earth, prior to the coming of that great Last Day, inasmuch as from this precious blood lineage the Government of the Kingdom of God was in due course to be organised anew amongst men, the Almighty Priesthood Authority restored as of old, and the Keys of the Kingdom again conferred, committed and entrusted endlessly thereto. This, then, was the noble legacy of the Irish Nation, and with it the House of M�ine and of Doolan as well; for Royal indeed is their race.
Of all those branches continually splintering off the main stock of the ongoing Royal and Patriarchal descendancies in each succeeding generation, a comparatively small but by no means insignificant offshoot was that founded by M�ine abovementioned, of whose innumerable twigs not the least was that of Dolan or Doolan, of whom we treat herein. Sometime probably in or about the Fourth Century after Christ, this same M�ine, already a highly-reputed commander of no mean merit in prowess and renown, at the head of a formidable invasion force expressly assembled for the cause under his exclusive leadership and direction, overcame and captured a colony of the legendary Firbolg, (which transliterates as "men from the banks of the Volga"), in central Connaught, taking possession of their former territory. The vast tract thus acquired, encompassing and comprising several great Baronies in present-day Galway and Roscommon, ever afterward in accord with ancient custom was ascribed a derivative of his Tribal name, as the Land of M�ine, - land and family and name being at that early period in the home of the bard and the sage, just as with their more remote Scriptural antecedents in the Holy Land, still inseparably and indivisibly intertwined, and considered and viewed as virtually synonymous, all bearing direct reference to the founding father of the specific lineage or group; within the parameters of which, the various lesser divisions of his kith and kin sharing in his bloodstream slowly came to be recognised across the passage of time by their own distinctive branch designations-cum-surnames, forever differentiating each from the others, - their cousins of the same identical extraction, - one senior branch in particular of M�ine's posterity, the eventual � Kellys or Kellys, taking precedence and reigning thereafter for many centuries over all the rest as hereditary Sovereign Princes thereof, and Chiefs of the Clan or Tribe of M�ine, (and finally in essence as effectual Kings of the greater part of Connaught, nominally subject only to the token overlordship of their kinsman the High King of Ireland, blood progenitor to the later Scottish and English Sovereigns upon the still more ancient Throne of Israel and by extension Britain, - now once again merged into a unified people and more aptly and correctly described at its zenith as The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the other British Realms, Territories and Dominions beyond the Seas - the prophesied reunion of Judah and Israel, the two parts of the Twelve Tribes, duly symbolised by the joining of the Lion and the Unicorn at the time of Union of The Crowns in 1603).
Accordingly the U� M�ine proper originally settled in Connaught Province, where as early as the 12th Century of the Christian Era (although they had been situated thus since time immemorial) are found references to � Dobhailen, (later � Doelan or Dolan), principally in the Barony of Clonmacowen in County Galway and the Barony of Athlone in County Roscommon, both in the very heart of U� M�ine country. Howsobeit, this prodigiously prolific people, quickly multiplying, shortly burst their bonds and spilled out of, or, more precisely, extended or expanded their former boundaries and range by overwhelming and overpowering the competition, and were not slow to avail themselves of the added advantage and opportunity thus afforded and gained to cross over and colonise adjacent or neighbouring vicinities; whence they gradually roamed increasingly further and further afield, all the while putting down roots and planting settlements as they went, the sizeable majority of which soon became well-established communities within the larger Tribal structure. Some of this hardy sub-branch of the progeny of M�ine, as much driven by wanderlust as were their predecessors, and motivated principally by the fluctuating conditions in which they dwelt and the uncertainties of life as they knew it, filtered anciently into County Cavan; and later, though yet very early on, there was a more general northward and eastward movement and expansion from their natal spot into Counties Leitrim and Fermanagh as well, thereby infilling any intervening gaps. From these vantage points at a later date they leapt still further abroad and populated King's and Queen's Counties, (now Offaly and Leix respectively), and thence spread into Counties Carlow and Wicklow, thus extending and projecting themselves all the way across Ireland from western to eastern seaboard. In Leitrim, Fermanagh and Cavan the Dolan version has been primarily retained and perpetuated, whilst in Leinster Province, (where they have since become particularly numerous throughout Carlow and Wicklow), the Doolan variant predominated and prevailed, and has more commonly gained foothold and taken root.
In Leitrim, Fermanagh and Cavan their territory and presence intersects and overlaps with that of the Develins or Devlins, and the two have often become very much confused, each adopting or borrowing on occasion the opposite spelling and orthography; but, however difficult or impossible they may now prove at times to disentangle or distinguish, they are in reality of quite independent origin, Devlin springing from the Gaelic � Doibhilin, a totally distinct derivation indeed.
One lot of the Dolans or Doolans, as stated, made their way at a very early date, together with others of the U� M�ine, to King's and Queen's Counties, where the Tribe waxed extremely powerful for many centuries until the coming of the English plantations there during Tudor times in the 16th Christian Century. Having been thus summarily displaced from their traditional heritage by these Anglo settlers in the reign of Mary I., the U� M�ine continued hopelessly and fruitlessly, albeit with fervour, to protest and contest by force of arms the annexation by the English planters, gamely staging some 18 annoying but futile rebellions in the space of only 40 years, although frustrated at every turn, until in 1608, during the reign of King James, officially "in mercy to" the U� M�ine, in order to "avert their absolute extermination", (but in stark reality, as much as anything simply another sordid chapter or episode in a long-standing covert series of programmes or campaigns of surreptitious machinations and deceptive devices subtly aimed and designed to subdue and quell the constant vexation they posed), Sir Arthur Chichester, Lord Deputy of Ireland, literally "gathered" (or rounded up and herded like sheep) and physically transported or "transplanted" the remaining remnants, including � Moores, � Connors, Kellys, Lalors, MacEvoys, Dorans and Doolans, to County Kerry in the Province of Munster on the extreme West Coast, an action thus also effectively at the same time partitioning and isolating the Doolans of the east, in Counties Carlow and Wicklow of Leinster Province, from, and precluding direct contact, interaction or ability to join in concert with, their kindred, and in essence rendering both smaller groups thereafter much depleted, decimated and diminished in influence and prestige, and all but politically impotent, - in every sense a classic case of a typical "broken" Clan.
If, in the final analysis, after all is said and done, any poetic justice at all should emerge, or may by hindsight be gleaned or derived from this empty exercise in futility, (and the even greater havoc later wreaked by others, specifically those of the Cromwellian stripe and mentality, consciously bound and determined to set about the deliberate task of demoralising, breaking and destroying the national spirit and will through systematic desecration, eradication and obliteration of all that was uniquely "Ireland"), it must surely lie in one single solitary sublime fact: namely that the conquerors, who, neither sensitive to nor understanding of the nature or needs of their harsh and unfamiliar new home, or of the vital lessons learned by the earlier inhabitants of this storied Isle through hard experience across the eons, very nearly did themselves in by dint of their own presumptuous conduct and overbearing attitudes. Given by personality and breeding to view everything Irish as at once despicable and contemptible, with no possible good to be discerned therein, they instinctively spurned, ignored or dismissed out of hand, with haughty disdain, and peremptorily rejected and refused, all proffered advice; and in the end, after years of foolishly and foolhardily attempting and endeavouring to superimpose and apply imported English laws, customs and practices where strictly not applicable, upon a very different land and a populace brusquely categorised and written off in the victors' estimation as "uncivilised" and "heathen infidels", - as though of a somewhat lower species, - they eventually were obliged and constrained perforce in many instances to confront and come to terms after all with the realities of the time and place, swallow hard their pride, and, much to their everlasting collective chagrin, at last acknowledge the mistakes and errors of their ways, reassess priorities, accept a change of direction and policies, and admit the wisdom of the ages and the sages, - or else be doomed to face abject ruination. Where they did so bend the knee they for the most part proved largely successful and prospered; where they did not, they usually failed utterly and miserably, and, with their downfall, left in their wake a profound legacy of insuperable destitution and all the related economic and social ills and dilemmas associated therewith, which problems have continued insurmountable to this very day.
This same imperious logic thoroughly permeated all aspects of society, constituting no exception amongst the Armed Forces of The Crown, whose senior ranking officers, in a stunningly naive exhibition of the self-righteous pomposity they were ever wont to display, for centuries rode, marched or sailed into battle resplendent in full ceremonial attire, decorations gleaming, and accompanied by fanfare and escort, a measure ostensibly calculated on the one hand to inspire and fortify troops or crews and bolster and rally their courage and resolve, as well as, on the other, to intimidate and awe into submission those misguided would-be opponents who might otherwise vainly presume to defy such grandiose, if vainglorious, splendour and state; but which, in actual point of fact, invariably instead portrayed them in hapless comic stance and presented them to the enemy as sitting ducks, more often than not to be simply picked off at leisure, throwing their well-ordered retinue into astonished and incredulous denial and catastrophic disarray. In similar context is reflected the spectre of battles lost or forfeit by prideful commanders and normally well disciplined regiments routinely placing more emphasis and import upon internal disputes over claims to relative positions of honour amongst themselves in battle formation than upon the strategic objective itself, often, at the last moment, as on that fateful day at Culloden, turning upon each other, oblivious to all else, even as the enemy converged and closed in upon them on the very field of conflict. More than one such spectacle or debacle has wrought wider, more lasting and more far-reaching harmful consequences in the longer term than even the perpetrators would have cared or dared to speculate or contemplate, had they been endowed with the needful foresight.
A prime example or case in point, (and one, at that, especially poignant and pertinent to Doolan country in the south east of Ireland), in which the Anglo-Irish newcomers' much-vaunted and flaunted "superior" knowledge and intellect misfired disastrously upon themselves, occurred in matters involving land tenure and management in general; and no satisfactory resolution ever proved forthcoming save through their finally reluctantly yielding and laying aside the detrimental and preposterous innovations of their recent past, and bowing to the simple and sensible solutions of the humble and industrious "primitives", "barbarians" and "savages" they so contemptuously derided, abhorred and despised, - but whose pedigrees and credentials, could the overlords have but so imagined, conceived or credited so unpalatable a notion, were at least as sterling and impeccable as their own, amongst the finest and most respectable anywhere, and so received and honoured amongst the elite of many lands.
Whereas the local Irish had typically and customarily occupied only tiny individual farmsteads, the new arrivals envisioned consolidation of these little plots of land to form extensive landed estates such as they had known and been accustomed to possess or administer in their homeland. Since the dawn of recorded settlement these former small holdings had historically been delineated and separated from each other by elongated stretches and expanses of either hedgerows or quaint stone walls, apparently doubling as fences or landmarks, which impediments the new owners, revelling in their own egocentric excesses, indulging daily in new and unparalleled heights of reckless abandon and caught up in an unseemly zeal to rid their newly amassed properties of such awkward encumbrances, whilst simultaneously blissfully unaware or ignorant of their true function or purpose, were exceedingly quick, despite all warnings and cautions to the contrary, to commence the work of mercilessly uprooting and wantonly pulling down, - of both foliage and masonry indiscriminately, all of which to them appeared nothing more than redundant boundary-line markers or dividers, senseless and meaningless relics of a bygone and abolished system.
No sooner, however, had the shameful as well as shameless effort been accomplished and concluded, than, much to their dismay and horror, the time-tested, tried and true agricultural skills, talents and methodologies of the adroit and practical Irish, and the reasons behind such methods and procedures, began to clearly and plainly unfold and come into view, visibly manifested before their very eyes. Unbeknownst to these newer grantees, (many of whom, to further compound and complicate an already shockingly exacerbated situation, were absentee landlords anyway), Ireland, much more so than England, boasts a fiercely windswept and often forbidding landscape, highly susceptible to the vagaries of sea and sky and frequently at the mercy of the elements, with strong winds and rains, biting chills and heavy sleet-laced gales raging offshore and spontaneously roaring inland from the coastline; indeed in many areas and places all one's daily concentration and strength is of necessity focussed and expended merely upon the mundane and monotonous ordeal of eking a meagre sustenance and survival off the rocky terrain in almost constantly adverse weather conditions. In this subsistence-oriented setting fraught with deprivations to the barest level of minimal existence amongst the masses, despite the initially high quality of the English settlers' own land grants, as time wore on it soon became painfully but undeniably apparent and obvious that, before having come to be fully detected and recognised for what it was, massive topsoil erosion, in the absence of the former windbreaks which had been set in place to contain it, had already taken rampant hold and was steadily increasing in intensity and fury almost with a vengeance of its own; and that, should the phenomenon be permitted much longer to persist, land values would plummet, productivity would be reduced to extremely negligible proportions, and the countryside would be left, at best, little more than a barren waste, awaiting culmination in imminently inevitable economic decline and collapse. In short, it was acutely self-evident that Ireland was literally being alternately washed away or blown into the sea.
At length the ages-old traditional concepts and philosophies, having, as indicated, been proven only too true and in their entirety justified and vindicated, began a remarkably rapid revival and comeback, as formerly resistant and recalcitrant landowners now scurried and scrambled in earnest and with all possible urgency and speed in any way they could, even grasping at straws, to cut their losses, recoup whatever they might, and rescue and salvage as much as was left them of their interests and investments. Suddenly, almost as though overnight, the labours of redemption and restitution overtook, superseded and finally replaced the forces of demolition and destruction, the previous sense of haste in tearing asunder being now rivalled and eclipsed only by the frenzied and feverish pace of armies of gardeners and builders hurriedly toiling and striving with impressive if uncharacteristic might, to set out bushes and shrubberies and to erect and upbuild row upon row of rocks and mortar; and soon curious crisscrossing patterns punctuated by strangely irregular forms and angles inexplicably sprouted and took shape in every field and pasture and transformed the whole face of the land, inching their way boldly and defiantly back and forth throughout the grounds of sprawling estates all over Ireland, as though savouring their moment of sweet victory and decisive triumph over the invaders.
From the many localities and regions dotting each of the historic old Provinces of the Emerald Isle, to which the U� M�ine have across the ages either migrated or been involuntarily dispersed, untold numbers, at times forming a seemingly unabating wave or ceaseless stream of humanity, have for one reason or another steadily and repeatedly departed their native shores for distant continents and exotic ports in foreign lands "beyond the bounds of the everlasting ocean to the uttermost ends of the known earth", forsaking forever the old sod and familiar associations, but resolutely adapting and forging ahead, pushing back the limits of strange frontiers and carving out for themselves a new and oftimes better life wherever and in whatever circumstances they may have landed. In this, amongst all the many branches and names embraced by the ancient Tribe of M�ine, and perhaps by all the sons of Adam, none have ever proven more adept than that of Dolan or Doolan, now by one nominal form or another ubiquitous as the sands of the sea in so many diverse parts of the globe.
On a farm in Ireland lived a Doolan family. One night the mother disappeared, having run away with another man, leaving a young son and daughter and their aged father. These two children are said to have been the youngest of a family of seven, although there is no reason to suppose the alleged five elder siblings would necessarily have been born of this marriage. The son William vowed to his father that one day he would take his little sister Mary to North America to begin a new life in that land of supposed golden opportunies.
When he was supposedly 14 years of age he fulfilled that pledge. If born as he claimed in 1812, this would place the year of departure as either 1826 or 1827, and, if born in the latter half of the year 1826, he would still have been 14 in the spring and summer of the more likely year, 1827, - although even 1828 is not outside the realm of possibility or even probability. Their father presumably having died or become incapacitated, the lad and his sister lost their inheritance to greedy neighbours who began to crowd and encroach upon their land, and to unscrupulous guardians who misappropriated their livestock and consumed their finances.
Where their older siblings may have been throughout all this, or what part they themselves may have played in such collusion, is not stated, but in any case little or no provision was made for these unfortunate youth who were powerless to act for or protect themselves, and they seem to have had no defenders. It is believed that William and Mary too were poorly treated personally, and in those days minors had very little redress against poachers and next to none against unjust guardians or kindred. Preyed upon from all sides, the only available respite for them was to leave Ireland.
Taking this recourse, the only property they managed to salvage was a pet pig with which they escaped under cover of darkness and which they sold for money with which to purchase clothing and a few incidentals which they would require for the voyage; then, true to William's promise, he made good his word and they boarded a ship bound for the New World. About that time there was much scarcity of food in Ireland, and the Government provided free transportation to people as an incentive for emigration.
It is left to imagination and speculation as to precisely where the Doolans' home in Ireland lay. Later legend and tradition amongst William's descendants held that they may have come from County Wicklow, but whether William Doolan himself ever so stated is unsubstantiated and doubtful; indeed in later years he merely told the tale that from the place where he had lived in the old land he "could throw a pebble into five different Counties", which statement, if taken at face value with due allowance for a bit of Irish exaggeration, might tend to indicate or suggest Ireland's smallest County, Carlow, as the site of his nativity. It may well be that the Doolans dwelt near the mutual boundary of these two Counties; and in any case if their port of embarkation were located in County Wicklow, on the seacoast, possibly even the Town of Wicklow itself, this would serve to explain the tradition that they "came from" that point even though their actual origin and residence may in fact have lain many miles away, perhaps within the geographical limits of the County of Carlow. The extreme youth of the Doolans at time of emigration, coupled with the lapse of years and the constant retelling of the tale, must also be taken into consideration.
In truth, of course, much the same could likewise be said for several other Irish Counties, even including the largest of them all, Cork itself, which, together with its four neighbours, totals five in all; and indeed, whilst William himself has left us no certain knowledge, his younger sister Mary in later life categorically insisted that this was so. Surely she ought to have known, and if so, the question then becomes one of whereabouts along the extensive Cork boundary was the scene of their earliest days. Then, again, if William's remark was meant loosely or in an exaggerated sense, their home could conceivably have been located anywhere within that County, and not necessarily even along the border at all.
Yet again, whoever wrote Mary's obituary in 1906, (most probably the newspaper editor), stated her birthplace as "County Kenny", which could only mean either County Kerry or County Kilkenny. The former shares a mutual boundary with Cork but is not part of a set of five adjacent Counties centred upon itself, and the latter borders not on Cork but on Carlow on the other side of Ireland. However, the latter also fits nicely with the "five Counties" theory, - in reality six if itself be included. It is of little help, though, to learn that this old saying has since proven to be known more generally in many parts of Ireland, and is by no means exclusive to the Doolans. It is commonplace, in much the same sense as we might say figuratively that something is merely a "stone's throw" away. With so many possible areas to consider, it may well therefore be that any more definitive and conclusive pinpointing of our origins may continue forever to elude us.
In final analysis, perhaps at least partly owing to the thick Irish brogue or the similarity of their handwritten double "n" and double "r", "Kenny" seems to have been a fairly frequent error for "Kerry" made by many writers, and if this be the case, coupled with William's "five Counties", the home of the Doolans most probably actually lay in County Cork very near the Kerry border, this being the only explanation and answer which fully meets and satisfies all conditions and clues stated. And, interestingly enough, this would make their ancestors part of that major forced "transplantation" from the East Coast by Lord Deputy Chichester in the year 1608!
In any case they were some six weeks at sea, aboard an old sailing vessel, all during which time they cooked their food on a pile of sand which the ship carried. At length they entered the Gulf of St. Lawrence and sailed up the St. Lawrence River sometime, it is supposed, in the summer of 1826 or more probably 1827 or 1828, - the penultimate of which dates is also later confirmed by Mary's obituary which specifies her age as seven at the time, although Mary's own personal declaration claims 1831 as the year of emigration, which comment would make the children somewhat older still and the story itself certainly seem more logical. (Taking into account Mary's claimed birthdate in mid May of either 1819 or 1820, her stated age of seven when leaving home can still be stretched into the month of May 1828.) On the other hand, however, the obituary, such as it is, also implies that she emigrated with her parents!
In due course William and Mary made their way to Upper Canada, whether by ship or by ox-cart or afoot, and at Brockville they chose to halt without quite knowing why. They walked and walked, without knowing where. Growing tired and hungry, they knocked at the door of the first farmhouse along the trail later known as the Perth Road, with the intent of asking for a drink of water, - and who, to their dismay, should open that door but their mother! They left at once and never spoke to her again.
That such a seemingly unlikely occurrence should have transpired is more than mere Irish romance, and not so improbable as might at first appear. There were relatively few stopping-off points along the riverbank in those days which could form "gateways" to the back country for newly-arriving settlers, and of these Brockville was one of the most popular at that time when the frontier of Leeds County was newly opening for settlement. Fewer still were the roads or trails blazed through the brush leading from these centres to the backwoods. People necessarily had to follow in each others' footsteps, and usually set up homesteads at the first convenient location along the way, at least until they could devise further plans and arrangements.
Thus it becomes less amazing to realise that both the Doolan children and their mother might have opted for Brockville as the locale for their journey's end, and that, once there, they would in each case have independently followed the same, and virtually only, passable trail out of town. It is equally reasonable to conjecture that the earlier arrivals would establish themselves at first nearer to the community, and later comers would have to proceed further back; and so it was that as William and Mary passed that way they found that their mother, who, unbeknownst to them, had come before, was already domiciled in closer proximity both to the town and to the roadway which connected with it. The probability of such a chance meeting may still strike one as seeming somewhat remote and bizarre, but ample examples exist of just such random encounters of old acquaintances from beyond the seas, and there is no disputation that in this case the events did indeed unfold very much in the manner described. The foregoing remains the single most logical explanation and rationalisation for such an eventuality.
Farmhouses were at that time still very scarce, and young William and Mary had to hike a goodly distance more until they came upon Unionville, afterward known as Forthton, situated about nine miles from Brockville in the wilds of the Township of Elizabethtown. Here the Doolans fortuitously found a family in need of extra domestic and farm help, who seem also to have taken pity upon the homeless wandering waifs in their affliction, so here the two brave little pioneer adventurers obtained shelter in exchange for assistance rendered. This kindly family may or may not have been, as tradition insists, that of John Barrington who had recently or lately, if not about the same time, arrived from Montr�al, and who then resided a few rods to the west of Forthton Corners, on the south side of the road. In any case the Doolans and the Barringtons quickly became acquainted, and William soon came to admire the young daughter of this family, Mary Barrington, four years his junior; and thus began a courtship which eventually culminated in their marriage at St. John the Evangelist's Anglican Church at New Dublin, then known as Lamb's Pond, in or about the year 1832 or 1833 when he was aged about 21 and she only about 17.
William and Mary Barrington Doolan first obtained a rather smallish tract of land in old Yonge Township about three miles south-east of Farmersville, the later village of Athens, (perhaps through the instigation and instrumentality of her uncle James Barrington who resided in the vicinity), but within a few years took up and began clearing a larger piece of Crown Land in Lot 33 in the 11th Concession of Elizabethtown about four miles south-east of Frankville in the area known as Redan, which spanned the Township Line betwixt Elizabethtown and Kitley, not far from the home of Mary's brother William James Barrington who was settled in the adjacent Concession just across the boundary in Kitley Township. This farmstead subsequently became the birthplace of most of their family, and the property was retained by Doolans for more than a century thereafter. Apparently they were already living there in the year 1838 at the time of the infamous raids when roving bands of Yankees crossed over to plunder and terrorise the surrounding countryside and the decisive four-day "Battle of the Windmill" was waged near Prescott, occasioned by an abortive attempt on the part of the invaders to arbitrarily annex the territory round about. William Doolan himself went to fight the brigands and to defend the riverfront of the Johnstown District; and in fact a gun used by him during the insurrection was still prominently displayed at the old Bryan homestead, once the home of his daughter Deborah Doolan Bryan, three miles south of Lyndhurst, in the possession of his great-grandson Elswood Gordon Bryan more than 130 years later.
During William's absence his pregnant wife took their first two little children Mary Ann and James to her father John Barrington's home where there was already an infant, her youngest brother Bennett, just three months of age and several years younger than his own niece and nephew; and thence shortly to that of her sister Alice "Allie" Barrington Dobbs, adjacent to her father's brother James Barrington's farm in the Dobbs Settlement to the south-east of Farmersville in the Township of Yonge, where the third child Deborah, who later married William Peter Bryan, soon was born. Later the Doolans were able to return to their own temporary home, which was built of logs, - one of four log farm structures so constructed and arranged as to form a square with a little open space in the centre into which the doors opened, a configuration typical of the region of southern Ireland whence they came, and ostensibly an effective precaution against the savage marauding Red Indians who frequently prowled that region of the frontier, as well as ravenous wolves and other wild beasts of the forest. At a still later date, when conditions had become safer and more stabilised, they erected a frame home and barn and converted the old log cabin into a chicken coop, - but most of the children were allegedly born in this old original structure consisting of two spacious rooms with a loft above. There were 14 children in all, of whom two died in infancy and five sons and seven daughters survived; and the span of years amongst them was so great that the eldest had a son born six months before the 14th and youngest, he being thus older than his own uncle, a circumstance oft retold in that generation and ever afterward regarded as a source of considerable humour by the two principals concerned.
Of William Doolan's mother who preceded him to Canada, all that is known is that the man with whom she was residing at the time of the children's arrival at Brockville was called Bolger; his forename, like hers, has been for many years lost to history. He may or may not have been the man with whom she had eloped from Ireland, and it is not known whether this couple ever married, but their first permanent home was located beside a bend in the old Perth Road, in later years disjoined from the main road owing to its straightening and improvement. As late as the 1970s William's descendants Arthur Allan Scott and Leonard Templeton Scott were able to point to the site on a by-then-disused back road where once had stood the farmhouse where an exhausted William and Mary Doolan, parched and weary, had so long ago sought a drink of water to quench their raging thirst. What became of Bolger is unknown at this juncture, but the tradition asserts that the mother of the Doolans eventually married a man of the name of Dixon, also a native of Ireland, and they settled a considerable distance away on a farm afterward occupied by a Mr. Hudson slightly to the north of the hamlet of Morton in South Crosby Township but still in Leeds County. It was here that she died, and she was buried by the Dixons at Leeds Cemetery, otherwise known as St. John's Anglican Churchyard, nearby but across the Township Line on the side opposite from Morton and a little distance beyond in the former Leeds Township, or as it was by then known, Rear of Leeds and Lansdowne. No marker stands to her memory, but she lies somewhere to the west of St. John's Church.
It may be that history may have dealt somewhat less than fairly with this original matriarch of the Doolans in Canada, and it might perhaps be fitting to offer here a few words in her defence. All we have today is an unbending and unmerciful version of the tale which has come down to us as seen through the eyes of two small abandoned children who may not have been able to accept that there could have been any other side to the story than the events as they experienced them; but perhaps their mother had comparable experiences of her own which have been filtered out and muted and silenced by the years and in any case have been cruelly not allowed to reach the ears of William's posterity.
According to the best evidence long available it was conjectured that this mysterious lady would have been either Elizabeth, wife of James Dixon, or, most probably, Mary, wife of Robert Dixon. It is now definitely established that she was in fact the latter, whose maiden surname had been Raph (Ralph or Rath), and who, widowed in the 1850s, survived into the 1870s aged well in her 80s, and did indeed spin out her days as a married woman and a widow on the property later farmed by one John Hudson on Lots 2 and 3 in the Fourth Concession of the Township of South Crosby just beyond the north edge of Morton, living latterly with a younger generation of Dixons whom she had reared and who seem to have treated her very kindly, but who may have been from a previous marriage of her husband, or, less likely, may have been hers as well.
In either case, however, although ages are not always consistent from one record to the next, it appears evident that our emigrant ancestress must have been first married in Ireland very early in life indeed, perhaps not far past her early to mid teen years, to a man much older than herself, and all the more so were she also the mother of the five elder Doolan children, which seems almost certainly doubtful. Perhaps she was forced into an unpleasant situation in an unwanted relationship before she was physically or emotionally prepared and ready for such commitment. For all we know she may herself have endured a most miserable existence as the juvenile wife of this prosperous old farmer and the stepmother of children perhaps approaching her own age; and indeed it may well be that her sole hope for mental and emotional survival and peace of mind lay in her making her escape in the best way she knew how and by the only means available to her when the opportunity presented itself. It is unlikely that she desired any harm to befall her young children, and through the haze there emerges the spectre of a pitiful young woman very much in need of pity herself.
This is not to suggest that her husband, another William Doolan, our remote forebear, was necessarily intentionally unkind or lacking in compassion, although he may have found difficulty or trouble understanding and communicating with a wife almost young enough to be his own daughter, and more especially if he had been accustomed to relating in a different way to a more mature previous wife. Whatever impelled his spouse to the final break, it could not have been easy or without fear or trepidation of the unknown future; and in times of panic one's mind is seldom clear and sometimes one takes quick decisions and impulsive choices without due time to think more rationally; nor can one always risk the luxury of spiriting away or making provisions even for one's own offspring, who, indeed, may sometimes be better where they are than facing the uncertainty and vicissitudes of fate, - especially if, as in this case, they seem well cared for at the time by the remaining parent and circumstances appear to indicate that all will be well with them. Often one may be burdened and tortured with questions and regrets the remainder of one's days, and what grief and torments may have afterward overtaken and haunted our ultimate Canadian progenitor we may never now fully comprehend. One wonders whether her initial reaction to her rediscovery of her two children again may have been one of joy and relief, and possibly of gratitude and thanksgiving for such a blessing, or of mixed emotions and confusion, with typically Irish superstition, or even fear and horror and terror being struck into her heart that the judgments of God were upon her for her sins. It would seem however that her children's response left her nearly half a century more to privately contemplate and ponder and reflect upon what might have been; and surely there must have been anguish aplenty which should have brought suffering enough.
The whole truth of the matter can never now be fully known, but the fact remains that this unfortunate woman is as much our founding ancestor as is William, her son, and perhaps it is as well not to judge too harshly based only upon bits of a near-two-centuries-old condemnation by a heartbroken little boy who could hardly be expected to view the larger picture entire, or to envision his own mother as being herself merely a frightened young girl fleeing a nightmare not of her own choosing, for the sake of her own inner well-being. Possibly both versions are honest and true depending upon the perspective of the viewer, but, sadly, the mother in this scenario was never permitted the chance to pass her own story to future generations. Accordingly therefore the good and bad within each party is now far beyond the human capacity to assess. All the players in this long-ago drama now sleep their final sleep and await the only Judgment which can ever finally justly and equitably cull fact from fiction and resolve the conflict and put it to rest once and for all eternity.
When William's daughter Deborah Doolan married William P. Bryan in 1862 she came to reside on the Bryan homestead near Lyndhurst in the same general area as her grandmother, far from the original location in Elizabethtown, and just perhaps may have come into contact with or learned more about the Dixons, for there seems to have been a trace of a more understanding or sympathetic attitude in that branch's treatment of the old familiar story, and it is through that source that all further knowledge of William Doolan's mother subsequent to his encounter with her on the Perth Road has come. At that time Mary Dixon, Deborah's grandmother, was still living, and the two farms were in such close proximity, although in different Townships, that all the Bryans, Deborah's husband's family, as well as the Dixons, had been traditionally buried at St. John's (Leeds) Cemetery, and here Deborah too eventually came to rest, not all that far from the older lady herself. It may be, and is nice to imagine or suppose, that if they all attended St. John's Church, this troubled old soul may finally have come to terms with her own granddaughter and survived to see at last some of the next generation of her posterity.
Mary Barrington Doolan died suddenly of a stroke on 19 August 1878 at the age of about 62, and it was the shock of this loss to William which resulted in his own demise "of a broken heart" just three months later on 11 November 1878, aged approximately 66. He was interred on 13 November, ironically the 40th anniversary of the Battle of the Windmill. Their tombstone, together with those of many of their family, may still be viewed at St. John the Evangelist's Anglican Cemetery (otherwise known as New Dublin Cemetery), Elizabethtown Township, Leeds County, Ontario, (not to be confused with St. John's Church and Cemetery, Leeds, abovementioned). As stated, 12 of their 14 children survived them. Although Eliza and Susan taught school at many places many years, in later life the five unmarried daughters lived together at the old farm until finally only Sarah remained. Then, in old age, having been deaf and mute from birth or early childhood but very alert and artistically inclined, talented especially in needlework, she went to live first with other members of the family and finally with the three unmarried daughters of her deceased brother William Jr. The original farm was leased out, and upon her death at nearly 100 years of age, it was disposed of for the unworthy sum of $500, the land having, from neglect, turned once again to boulders and lost its ability, from overuse and unwise management, to yield the luxuriant and bountiful crops it had once supported.
William's younger sister Mary who accompanied him to this new land was said to have finally married a man surnamed Marvin or Marven and they were stated to have removed to Michigan. Their fate and that of whatever family they may have produced remained without the knowledge of their Canadian kin until 6 March 2002, after a nearly 30 year search. It was further subsequently discovered that upon marriage, and prior to removal, this couple had settled for a few years on the Marvin family farm on Lot 17 of the Second Concession of the husband's native Township of South Crosby, several miles north of Morton and the Dixon homestead; but both distance and the fact that they adhered to a different religious persuasion, namely the Methodist faith, may have combined to preclude the likelihood of their ever having come into much if any contact with Mary's mother on the southern edge of the same Township.
Like the passing of Time, all of these two generations have now crossed the Divide and have gone to be together again, as have also the third and fourth generations. Many of a fifth generation have also gone, and some of the sixth and seventh as well. The Doolan homestead which knew births and deaths, gladness and sorrow, stands lonely as a tribute to those who once lived and enjoyed life there, and now strangers greet one at the door.
William Doolan Jr. settled very near his parents but on the Kitley side of the line, eventually taking over the farming operation, and reared a family of three daughters. They later led interesting lives primarily in the fields of teaching and nursing in many places, but none ever married. In their last years they all lived together in a large house at Brockville until eventually the last of them, Jennie, was no longer able to cope physically or in terms of memory and had to be institutionalised at Cornwall. Their father William Jr. had developed similar problems in his advanced years, and whenever he could escape from his daughters' home at Brockville he would wander back to his old homestead, where the then occupants would notify the family to come and collect him. Whenever Will Doolan went missing there was never any doubt where he would be found.
His other four brothers, James, John, Thomas and Albert, settled in Chicago where they became quite affluent in the construction industry, and James is credited with having saved the Masonic Grand Jewels by hiding them in the river during the great Chicago Fire of 1871. He had previously spent some time at Montr�al where, having studied woodcrafting skills when aged about 16, he had participated in the erection of the magnificent new Christ Church Anglican Cathedral there. He had a sharp and ready sense of humour and a tremendous wit, particularly in his promotion and defending of his brand of arch-Protestantism, and was never afraid or reluctant to speak out or declare his mind. On one occasion when travelling aboard train with his young nephew James Arthur Templeton he jocularly pointed to a group of Roman Catholic nuns, unhesitantly comparing their headgear to stovepipes and remarking loudly in tones of derision and ridicule, "Now what do you suppose those things might be?" and "What do you make of a thing like that?", much to their discomfiture and chagrin, and to his great pleasure and delight, he always deriving much enjoyment from any opportunities which might arise whereby to vent his strong anti-Catholic sentiments and stance.
In the old Doolan Family Bible the following melancholy verse appears in memory of this James Doolan's small son John Thomas Doolan, who was born 26 November 1875 and who died 17 September 1881, the "great tragedy" of James' life:
This child was buried at Oakwoods Cemetery, Chicago, at the insistence of his mother; but his father James, who was equally determined that he should lie in the Doolan plot, had the remains secretly removed to New Dublin without his wife ever suspecting the difference, and to this day there is a matching inscription duplicated in each of these two cemeteries. "Uncle Jimmy" Doolan was a remarkable man in many ways.
Across the years other likewise remarkable Doolan descendants have continually risen to new heights of prominence in their chosen fields of endeavour. Amongst these, in closing this general narrative and committing their antecedents to the judgment of time itself, it is possible to refer specifically to only one or two family members of a later era. A grandson of Mary Ann Doolan, the little girl who was just three or four years of age when her mother fled the invasion of 1838, was the Reverend Dr. Agnew Herbert Johnston, 99th Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, the longest-serving Presbyterian clergyman to that time in a single congregation anywhere in Canada, and Chairman of the Board of Education of Fort William, afterward Thunder Bay, Ontario, where a school was named in his honour; and a great-great-granddaughter of Mary Ann's sister Deborah, who was born during those long-ago hostilities of that bygone time, was Terry Lynne Meyer, Miss Edmonton, who, amongst her many accomplishments, from 28 October 1974 to 3 November 1975 wore the tiara of "Miss Canada 1975", reigning as the 29th Miss Canada. Talented in many ways and with a good grounding in public relations work, serving at one time as an assistant to the Premier of Alberta and then as a well-known radio and television host, broadcaster and "on-air personality", she later became a highly successful entrepreneur in her own right in the fields of manufacturing, merchandising and marketing, one of her most notable products being a brand of muffins labelled "Fat-Wise" which became a familiar and popular feature of the McDonald's Restaurants chain across Canada. Subsequently other items were added and distributed through large well-known supermarket chains under the brand-name "Three Blondes and a Brownie", the three blondes being Terry Lynne and two friends, and the brownie being the low-calorie confection which had been the original objective of the company, but which had been temporarily sidelined during development of the muffin promotions.

In order to more properly and effectively ensure better maintenance of this site as the most definitive data pool of its kind now extant anywhere for this research, continual regular updates, input and exchanges are always requested and vitally required, including newly-discovered additional search results from early records as well as notification of recently-occurring events or items currently in error or missing from these muniments. Indeed such collaboration is essential to success, and is gratefully invited and encouraged at any time. Anyone so interested or inclined to participate is most welcome and urged to access and search any material desired and to provide and contribute as a mere matter of course any new discoveries or any corrections to existing errors or omissions for inclusion in this work. Curiously enough, in actual point of fact far too many family members both near and distant still tend inexplicably and frustratingly to neglect or fail to submit and register on a continuing basis even their own known personal data or new facts as they occur. It becomes most disappointing, disheartening, demoralising and discouraging when people still procrastinate so doing, not only voluntarily, but also even when specifically and directly approached or asked.
The general concept, vision and expectation has been, is and remains that such automatic reporting and registration herewith, alongside civil vital statistics registries, should become the prevailing standard practice and procedure and accepted norm to which thoughts will immediately, inevitably and invariably turn and naturally conform whenever the opportunity and occasion arises or presents itself.
