Old members of the family buried in family burial ground of St. Johnstown.

William Skehan (born c. 1689). Buried in St. Johnstown, 12-4-1761, aged 72 (Killenaule Reg.).

Honora Skehan (born c. 1692). Buried in St. Johnstown, 5-5-1752, aged 60 (Killenaule Reg.).

James Skehan (born c. 1732). Buried in St. Johnstown, 18-8-1763, aged 31 (aged 28 on tomb).

Elleonora Skehan (born c. 1726)? Buried in St. Johnstown 8-9-1766, aged 40 (?) (Killenaule Reg.)

John Skehan (born c. 1727). Buried in St. Johnstown, 19-5-1804, aged 77 (on tomb there).

William Skehan (born c. 1774). Buried in St. Johnstown, 11-3-1799, aged 25 (Killenaule Reg.).

Catherine Skehna (born c. 1783)? Buried in St. Johnstown, 28-8-1799, aged 16 (?) (Killenaule Reg.). Issue of John Skehan and Maria Kennedy:- Maria, baptised, 20-1-1755: William, 29-5- 1757: James and Patrick, 13-9-1759: Margaret, 21-8-1762: Walter, 1-2-1765: John 28- 2-1767.

Against the Walter here being Walter Skehan (a):- (1). Age of death in 1842 given as 83 on tombstone, and ages rarely over estimated. (2). Age at marriage would be only 21 (or less), as eldest child, John, was born 1787. (3). (a). St. Johnstown inherited (he did not: his father lived in St. Johnstown). For his being Walter Skehan (a). (1) He is the only Walter from 1742 till then (1765) whose baptism is recorded, and Walter (a) could not have been born before 1742 as he would be 100 on or more at death. (2). Walter (a) obviously not an eldest son, as he is found in Coolbawn? And not ancestral home of St. Johnstown. (3). Tradition of calling eldest son after paternal grandfather: so Walter (a)’s father would be John. Notice also John Skehan and Maria Kennedy’s eldest son, William, agreeing with reconstruction below.

James O’Donnell (a). He or his family is said to have come from Co. Donegal (this very doubtful), settled in Cahir, Co. Tipp. And later at Knockinglass, Fethard (Parish of Killenaule and Moyglass). He died 6-1-1810,aged 53, and is buried in Rathcoole, near Fethard.

All his daughters were small of stature, but were pretty girls, and were married to the 6 principle farmers in Parish of Killenaule and Moyglass. They with their 2 brothers are said to have 81 children all told: only 67 appear in Supplement No. 1, so it is likely that the others died young.
