The number of strangers from the earlier lists, are fewer and fewer. The pattern I am skirting about should be coming clearer now, and when the next list is adverted to it should be quite clear. It is a list of the Yeomanry corps raised by government in 1796 to meet the threat; as they saw it of the

United Irishmen. The Carlow units were as follows - insofar as I can establish them:³⁸

Unit	Dates of References	Officers
Bagenalstown and Mount Leinster Infantry	1796, 1797	Capt Beauchamp Bagenal 1st Lt Philip Brenan
Bagnalstown Infantry (Bagnelstown Infantry, Bagenalstown Infantry)	1798, 1803, 1804, 1807	Capt B Bagenal Lt P Brenan Capt Philip Newton (2l.6.1803) Lt Philip Brenan (do) Lt Mathew Weld (10.11.1803)
(This would seem to have been a result of an early reorganisation of the first mentioned unit)

Ballynockan .Infantry (Ballynockan)	1803-1805, 1807	Capt J Rawson (13.8,1803) Lt Edward Groome (do) Lt Dowling Wall (23.8.1803)
Borris Cavalry (Borris Yeomanry)	1796-1798	Capt Walter Kavanagh
Borris Cavalry and Infantry 39	1798	Capt Walter Kavanagh 1st Lieut Luke Hagarty 2nd Lieut Thos Bishop
(I imagine that this is another name for the first-listed Borris unit)
Borris Infantry (Borris)	18.03.1805, 1807	Capt Walter Kavanagh (21.6.1803) Lts Luke Hagerty (do), Thos Bishop (20.7.1803)

(This is obviously a reorganisation of the earlier force, now as an infantry unit to meet the renewed threat of French republican messianism and the United Irishmen revival culminating in Robert Emmet^fs Insurrection)

Carlow Cavalry	1804	Capts Chas Burton Bt and Wm Knott
(A lazy listing together of two separate units)

Carlow Cavalry (Town of Carlow Yeomanry)	1796, 1798	Capt Sir Richard Butler Bt, 1st Lt Thomas Bernard, 2nd Lieut Charles Moore McMahon
Carlow Cavalry (1st Carlow Cavalry)	1805, 1807	Capt Wm Knott (12.2.1804) Lts Benjamin James, Wm Garrett, Henry Bradley Jur (25.5.1805)
(This seems to be a re-organisation of the unit commanded by Robert Cornwall listed below).
