[ INDEX ] [ JPMD INDEX ] The majority of Memorial Inscriptions below are taken from the book "History & Antiquities of the County of Carlow" by John Ryan published in 1833. A copy of this book can be found in the Carlow Library, County Carlow and at the LDS Library Film # 1441050. There is an index in the back of the book, which, from my own experience could be expanded extensively, as many names that appear in the book, do not appear in the index. One reason I have included the memorials found in this book, is that some of the memorials recorded in 1833 probably do not exist today and may have been overlooked in the numerous Memorials of Dead recorded in Carlow in recent years. At the time these were recorded by John Ryan he selected only a small few, mostly dating back to the 1600's and 1700's. I have tried to reproduce the information in the exact form in which it appeared in the book. I have endeavoured to be accurate, however it is possible that errors may have occurred in transcription. Data should be verified against original sources. Susie Warren
AGHADE
Ardoyne (now Aghade} Parish, County Carlow and County Wicklow
(Contributed by Mr. C.J. Hobson)
'The accompanying three inscriptions
are copied from the old burying-ground situated in Ardoyne
Parish, now united to Aghade.
This plot is not enclosed and,
according to the testimony of farmers living near it, it
formerly crossed the present road, or, rather, the road must
have been made through the burying-ground, bones having been dug
up in the adjoining field.
'There are but five (Uprights) headstones in the plot; the
inscriptions on the two oldest I could not decipher.
'This burying-ground, although in County Wicklow, is just on the
border of the County Carlow, and is trespassed on by cattle from
the adjoining field, owned by Mrs. Lawrencen.' ____

This monument
was erected by TOMAS GURLEY, Esq., as an affectionate tribute to
the memory of his brother BAGNEL GURLEY, Esq. and to commemorate
his many virtues.
His friends and acquaintances
lament the irreparable loss of his sincere and warm friendship,
agreeable and instructive conversation, polite and cheerful
manners, liberal yet prudent hospitality, and every social
virtue that sweetens and adorns private life. -
He died on the 25th day of
February, 1796, in the 25th year of his age. John Ryan's "History & Antiquities of the
County of Carlow" - Page 331. VERNON
This small
tribute of respect and affection to departed excellence and
worth is erected to the memory of JANE, the beloved wife of the
Rev. GEORGE VERNON, RECTOR of CARLOW, and only daughter of the
Venerable THOMAS KINGSBURY, ARCHDEACON OF KILLALA, by her deeply
afflicted husband.
This meekly devout, enlightened
christian died in the prime of life, and her character was a
rare combination of every gift with every perfection.
With talents far beyond those
given to the generality of persons, she never sought any display
of them. -- With a deep knowledge of literature, she preferred
above all that knowledge which maketh wise unto salvation.
Though silent and reserved
amidst company and rather desirous of avoiding it, she was ever
accessible to the poor and distressed, and always studying how
to relieve their necessities and wants.
She excelled in sculpture
painting, and acquaintance with the learned languages, but far
more so in the exemplary discharge of duty in every relation of
life ; as a loving and dutiful daughter, a tender and
affectionate mother, a most devoted and fondly attached wife.
Her death was universally
lamented, for in her society lost an ornament, her parents their
pride, her husband his more than companion, his guide, his
example, and friend ; the poor of this town an active and
zealous benefactress and its youth a pious and Christian
instructress.
Trusting for salvation alone in
the merits of her Saviour, she resigned her soul into the hands
of God who gave it on the 4th day of December, 1827, and 29th
year of her age.

ever glorious King William The third, when Price of Orange,
which bore date the 31st December, 1688;
as he set out in military
service, under that great patron of Liberty, so he had the
happiness to be first employed under General Kirk in the relief
of London Derry ; and soon after carried the colours at the
battle of the Boyne, both memorable events by which his kingdom
in particular was delivered from impending slavery.
He afterwards served as
Lieutenant Colonel in Spain and acquitted himself with great
honour, when Paymaster to the unhappy persons who were left
prisoners in that country.
His public services ended as
they began in the defence of his country at the battle of
Preston, where his treatment of those deceived men, when in his
care as prisoners, will always be mentioned
as an example, that true
courage, and the tenderest humanity, ever go together.
