| 0 - Family Quests | 1850-1899 | United States | Nolan-Hartford-Conn | 1860 | Ship in Atlantic >NY> Hartford, Conn. | Andrew son of Patrick and Margaret Nolan born aboard ship | According to family tree information found at the MyHeritage and FamilySearch websites, Andrew's parents were Patrick Nolan (b. Mar 17 1833 in Co. Westmeath, IE - d. 12 July 1899 in Hartford, Conn) and Margaret O'Laughlin (b. July 24 1840 in Ballymacoda and Ladysbridge, Co. Cork, IE - d. 5 Apr 1909 in Hartford, Conn). According to family lore Andrew was born at sea in 1860 while his mother/the family was on the way to America. In 1865 (census) the family was living in Ward 14, Brooklyn, NY. By 1870 (census) the family had settled in Hartford, Conn. Patrick Nolan and Margaret O'Laughlin had the following children: Michael (1855), Emma (1858) and Elizabeth (1859) born in Ireland; Andrew J. (1860) born at sea; Josephine (1862), Annie (1863), Fanny (1870), Terrance F. (1872), Bessie (1872), Esther (1877) and Margaret born in America. |
It may be possible to identify the family's origin in Ireland using the fact that Andrew's parents married in Ireland, their first 3 children were born in Ireland (1855-1859). Church records in Counties Cork and Westmeath may shed further light in this family's ancestry. | https://www.myheritage.com/research/record-40001-1129807689/andrew-j-nolan-in-familysearch-family-tree | https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LD39-D55 | Roger Nowlan | More details |

| 0 - Family Quests | 1850-1899 | United States | see URL1 | 1860+ | Mississippi, Tennessee | Patrick Pierce Nolen, born in Ireland, marries Mary Dever in Mississippi and they eventually settle in Tennessee | According to his obituary written in 1898 Patrick Pierce Nolen would have been born in Ireland around 1802. Also, based upon the Y-DNA test results for a male descendant indicate that he was descended from a County Carlow Nolan line. In the Y-DNA test results for a male descendant of Patrick Pierce Nolen (see at https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Nolan?iframe=ycolorized ) there are families identified which may have family links within the last 200 years. In particular, the family histories for the Nolan lines of Moses Nolen (1830-1897) and Robert Nolen (1820-1850)) may be worth investigating for plausible family connections. County Carlow is where there is the highest concentration of Nolan families in Ireland and there are many Nolan lines associated with this county but his second name i.e. "Pierce" and his oldest son being named "Robert" may be clues to help in identifying the particular line to which he belonged. |

(1858), Mary (1861), Martin (1864), Bridget (1866), Thomas? The 1865 New York Census shows the family lived in Westfield, Richmond County, New York in 1865 and the oldest child, Julia, was 10 years old and born in Richmond. Therefore, the family was living in Richmond, NY prior to 1855 and came to America sometime after birth of c.1833. The census has the spelling as “Nolen”, future documents show the spelling as “Nolan”. Martin’s occupation was a laborer. The family moved Richmond, NY to Scranton, PA between around1866. Children of Martin Nolan and Bridget Ryan 1) Julia (1856-?) was born in Richmond, NY she married Michael Harding. In 1880 they lived in Scranton, PA and were boarding Julia’s brother Martin Nolen (age 16) and sister Bridget Nolen (age 13). Children: Patrick (1874), Mary Ann (1876), John (1878) 2) Patrick F. (1858-) was born in Richmond, NY and moved to Scranton, PA between 1865 and 1870 with his mother and father. He married Catherine, daughter of Anthony Thornton, in 1885.

Children: John Joseph (1887-1959), Martin (1889-1910), Patrick Joseph (1890-1951), Francis Aloyious (1892-1918), Leo Cycil (1893-1978), Mary (1896-) 3) Mary (1861-) was born in Richmond, NY and moved to Scranton, PA between 1865 and 1870. 4) Martin (1864-1907) was born in Richmond, NY and moved to Scranton, PA between 1865 and 1870. He married Catherine in 1899. Martin was a barber. 5) Bridget (1866-) was born in Scranton, PA. In the 1900 census, Patrick and Catherine Nolan lived next door to another Nolan family in Scranton, PA. Thomas and Catherine Gilda (1851-1913) Nolan are both from Ireland. Their children Thomas (1880), Nellie (1884), and Frank (1886) were born in Pennsylvania. Catherine gave birth to 11 children, of which 5 lived as of 1900. Thomas may have been an older brother or a cousin of Patrick. Ancestry DNA Origins points to Ballina, Southern Mayo and Galway region. |

According to RC church records in New Brunswick, Peter and Edward's parents were "James Nowland" and "Mary Glory". After a long search in RC church records in Ireland it was eventually determined that Peter and Edward's parents had married in the Ballon church in 1793. Their names, as they appeared in the Ballon-Rathoe church records were given as "James Nowlan" and "Mary Clory" (sic Mary Clowry). In the marriage record Mary was listed as a widow and a further search in the Ballon-Rathoe records revealed that to a "James Clowry" in 1784. |

| 0 - Nolan Lines | 1700-1749 | United States | Nowlin-17 | 1700 circa | Beaver Creek, Virginia | James Nowlan immigrates to America as an indentured servant | Around the year 1700, a James Nowlan/Nowling came to Virginia as an indentured servant and eventually married his master's daughter, Catherine Ward. According to the Nowlin-Stone genealogy he was a carpenter and came to America with two brothers, a William Nolan who went to "New England" and a John Nowlan who went "Up North". At his death, James was using the "Nowling" spelling for his name. This is believed to reflect a French connection in the years preceding his immigration to America. There is a branch of Nolans (Nowland) which settled in the Placentia Bay area of Newfoundland and on the neighbouring French isle of St. Pierre and used the spelling "Noliegne" which is close to "Nowling" when pronounced in French. |
Even though Captain James Nolan (Daniel>Edmund>James) was dispossessed of his Shangarry lands in the mid-1600s, it appears as if his uncle Patrick's side of the family did manage to regain some rights over their former lands before he died, sometime around 1670. In 1669, Richard Earl of Arran and son of the Duke of Ormonde, leased the lands of Shangarry and Ballinrush to Thomas Bagenal to hold “in trust" for a John Nowlan. This is no doubt Patrick's son, John. Combining the information available from the Nolan book "O Nolan - the history of a people" (2000) and the Nowlin-Stone genealogy, it now seems that John Nowlan of Shangarry and Ballinrush had four sons: • Lawrence (c1670), the eldest son who apparently took care of the Shangarry and Ballinrush lands for his father but, in 1700, was mistakenly forced to forfeit them because of having been a part of King James’ army during the Williamite wars; however, his father, John, still holding the original lease for 3 lives of 1669, was successful in recovering the family lands • James (1685) who, around 1700, went to Virginia, indenturing himself to an Englishman by the name of Ward, to pay for his passage to America • John (1677-1700) who, around 1700, went to Virginia and then “Up North”; he seems to have eventually made it back to Ireland and is believed to be the John Nolan Tinnaclash burial plot of the Templepeter cemetery in County Carlow • William who, around 1700, went to Virginia and then to “New England”; one possibility is that he went to Maine where, prior to the American Revolution, a Richard Nowlan was living; in 1783, he went with his family to Port Roseway, Nova Scotia (now Shelburne, NS); a Patrick Nowlin of Horton, NS, is believed to have been his son. For now this is only conjecture and requires further research |

By 1841, Michael was living in Manchester, England. According to the census taken that year, he was a labourer, aged 40, his wife Jane was aged 34 and their two children, Charles , aged 18, and William, aged 12. were living with them, Both Charles and William worked as "piecer"s in a mill. Charles Knowland (b. 1823) married twice, first marrying Martha Hayes in Manchester in 1849, and then Ellen Norris also in Manchester in 1875. He had a large family, having 6 children with both Martha and Ellen. He was a mill worker by profession (piecer, etc), also a herbalist. William Knowland (b. married Jane Quayle in 1859 and they had one child. More informatiion on Charles and William's children can be found at the LDS FamilySearch.org website (click on the URL1 link given below) |
In official records, the family name is variously spelled Knowland, Nowland and Nowlan. Although, in 1841, Michael Knowland was listed as a "labourer", by 1849,t when his son Charles married, he seems to have improved his status, now being identified as an "engineer" on the marriage certificate. Michael's birthplace in Ireland has yet to be determined with a high degree of certainty. A modern-day descendant, Tommy Knowland, is actively researchinmg this line of Nolans. |

| 0 - Nolan Lines | 1600-1699 | Ireland | Noland-140 | 1660s | Fethard, Co. Tipperary | Pierce Noland Sr. regains some of his lost lands in Co. Tipperary | As best as can be determined, Pierce Nowland was born in Dublin, Ireland, sometime around 1628, probably the son of a Catholic merchant with Royalist ties and family roots in the barony of Gowran, Co. Kilkenny, where Pierce Butler had a castle. In the 1640s Pierce Butler took an active part in the Irish Civil war and, after the passing of an Act of Resettlement in 1652, he was forced to forfeit his vast lands in Leinster in exchange for less desirable lands in counties Clare, Galway and Mayo, where he, his tenants and retainers could resettle. At this point, Pierce Nowland, his wife and their young children, most likely Henry and Darby at this point, around 1654, are believed to have resettled to Co. Mayo where Pierce Noland Jr. was born sometime around 1655. It is not known exactly where they lived but it was most likely in the Barony of Tirawley where Pierce Butler is known to have received lands. After the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, the "Noland" family seems to have regained some of their lands in Co. Tipperary, likely around Fethard. |

Maryland. His brothers, Henry, Darby, Philip (1656), William (1658) and Thomas did likelwise, settling respectively in: Kent Co., Maryland; Cecil Co., Maryland; Loudoun Co., Virginia; St. Mary’s Co., Maryland, and; Anne Arundel Co., Maryland. After a short time in Cecil Co., Pierce Noland Jr. moved on to Charles Co., Maryland, where he married in 1780 and stayed for most of his life. He died in Stafford Co., Virginia in 1714. Around 1680 in Maryland, Pierce married someone named Katherine and they had at least 5 children. Children of PIERCE NOLAND and KATHERINE: * Stephen (1682) who remained in Charles Co., MD * Philip (1684) who relocated to Stafford Co., VA * Pierce (1696) who relocated to Cecil Co., MD * Thomas (1698) who remained in Charles Co., MD * William (1703) who remained in Charles Co., MD |

| 0 - Nolan Lines | 1600-1699 | Ireland | Nowlin-17 | 1669 circa | Shangarry, Co. Carlow | Captain James Nolan is dispossessed of his Shangarry lands | After the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, Captain James Nolan who in 1649 had fled to France with Charles II failed to recover his lost lands of Shangarry once the monarchy was restored in 1660. In 1640, prior to the "Uprising of 1641"Captain James' grandfather, Daniel, had protected his Shangarry lands by passing them on to the only son he considered as legitimate i.e. Patrick. At that point, his other son, Edmund, although firstborn from an earlier union lost any rights he had to his grandfather's Shangarry lands. This was a key legal point which, after the restitution of the monarchy in 1660, prevented Captain James Nolan from recovering the Shangarry lands seized under Parliamentary/Cromwellian Rule in the mid-1650s. Upon the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, the Shangarry lands became the property of Richard Butler, the Duke of Ormonde and Lord Deputy of Ireland and Captain James petitioned for the return of his Shangasrry lands. However, in 1664, the courts ruled that Captain James' uncle, Patrick, had accepted lands in Connacht in exchange for the Shangarry lands and therefore the family had no rights to the lands. In 1669, Captain James allegedly murdered a Thady Nolan and fled to England. In 1670, while still in England, he once more attempted to recover his Shangarry lands, first appealing to the Duke of Ormonde and then directly to the king who referred his petition to the courts. After first reading, the case dragged on for 7 weeks but, in the end, the case was dismissed due to lack of evidence. At the time, Captain James was married with 9 young children and reportedly destitute. Between 1670 and 1700, there is little known about Captain James and his descendance. However, based upon church records for the St Germain-en-Laye chapel in Paris, it would appear that Captain James and his family made their way to France, living in the palace of St. Germain-en-Laye in Paris, the same place to which he had fled with the future Charles II in 1649. In church records for the St Germain-en-Laye chapel in the 1690s we find several records which suggest that his first wife died there in the late 1690s and that he remarried around 1700. In the church records Captain James' first name is given as "Eugène" and "Jacques Nolan". |

| 1 - Mists of Time | -BCE- | Ireland | N/A | -350-300 | North-Western Europe | Ugaine Mor, a famous maritime trader, rules as Ard Ri (High King) of Ireland | In pre-Christian times the European Celts were pushed ever northward and westward by the Roman army seeking to extend the Roman Empire offering the Pax Roman to the vaquished. At this time, a maritime Celtic chief seated in Leinster or possibly in the Scilly Isles arose offering his guidance and protection to the Celtic chiefs at the north-western limits of Roman Empire. Known as Ugaine Mor (Hugh/Eugene the Great) or by the Romans as "Hugonious Magnus" he sailed into the Mediterranean with a fleet of ships to assist the Greeks in their quest to establish trading posts in the western Mediterranean. He is the first historically verified Ard Ri of Ireland and, according to the Irish Annals, ancestor to both the O Nuallains and the O hUllachains. |
Ugaine Mor married a Gaulish princess and reputedly had 25 children. At his death his children inherited his vast domains, one of them was the ancestor of the O Nuallains and another the ancestor of the O hUllachains. |

A list of immigrants from the Ticonderoga still hangs in the back of the church at Wexford, IA. Another 450 parishioners left the same day on the 915-ton Loodianah, a sailing vessel from Canada. An additional 300 parishioners left eight days later on a smaller vessel, the Chasca, a Boston registered ship. For full story read the FR. Hore immigation article at this website (URL1 below) |

| 6 - Modern History | 1600-1699 | Ireland | N/A | 1650s - 1800s | CARLOW - New Garden, Ballybrommel, Kilconner, etc. | 1650s onward - Quaker Presence in County Carlow | New Garden, Painestown and Carlow Town ----------------------------------------------------- In 1660 a Meeting was settled at Newgarden, Co. Carlow, at the home of Ephraim Heritage of Paynestown, it is not certain whether or not a Meeting House was erected here, probably not, in which case the Meetings were held in Paynestown House, which still exists; a burial ground dating from 1655 also exists, on private property. In 1716 this Meeting was removed to Carlow where a Meeting House had been erected in 1700. When people of the Quaker faith moved to another locality, they sometimes usewd the same name as for the Quaker meeting they had left behind. For example, according to a book written by Dr. Albert Cook Meyers, entitled "Immigration of the Irish Quakers into Pennsylvania" the name "New Garden Monthly Meeting" is repeated in various states in the US and the one in Pennsylvania is supposedly named after the New Garden MM (Monthly Meeeting) in Carlow, Ireland. Ballybrommel, Kilconner and Ballykealey Townlands ------------------------------------------------------------------ The burial ground on the Ballybrommell townland, "God's Acre", along with the one on the Ballykealey townland are a reminder of the once thriving Quaker community in Co. Carlow. Quakerism first evolved in the North of England in the seventeenth century and made its first inroads into the Carlow/Kildare region during the Cromwellian plantations of the 1650s. At the time many Quaker families settled in the Fenagh area, most notably the Watsons and the Leckys who purchased large farms at Kilconner and Ballykealey respectively. Reference: |
