[12] “Cavenore” alternative spelling of “Cavananore”

[13] John Cooke ROGERS. A Mary COULTER (b 1759) married in 1791 a James ROGERS – but there may not be any connection. She was the daughter of Thomas COULTER of Carnbeg – the line of COULTERs that may connect with this line. There is a John Cooke ROGERS who was a Proctor in Dublin at 100 Capel Street. Since this may have been a legal capacity that he was acting in here rather than a familial one, this is likely. As well, a man of that name was the author of Thoughts for the restoration and permanent establishment of peace in Ireland published in 1823.
