[1] Samuel Elgee of Rochvale, Co Monaghan. was baptised at Dundalk January 17, 1759. SOURCE: Sperenza’s Ancestry: Elgee – The Maternal Lineage of Oscar Wilde. Brian de Breffny. Volume 4:2, 1972 The Irish Ancestor. NOTE: Oscar WILDE’s mother, Lady Jane Frances WILDE was an ELGEE with Monaghan connections. Her father Charles ELGEE (1783-1821) left Ireland for India shortly after 1821 and died there in 1821. Her great-grandfather Charles ELGEE (1714-1787) as well as his eldest brother William (b. 1705) emigrated to Ireland in the 1730s and became prosperous builders in Dundalk. Coupled with the fact that another branch of the OLIVER family had a slight WILDE connection (William OLIVER married Mary Anne HYDE, widow of Clarendon HYDE whose mother was a WILDE), and that Drumaconnor House where Oscar’s two half sisters died in a petticoat fire also has family connections, this may prove interesting.

Rev. William HUTCHINSON (1758-1827) SOURCE: 1828 Jan 4 The Newry Commercial Telegraph In Ballyrath, near Armagh, on the 27th ult., in the 69th year of his age, the Rev. WILLIAM HUTCHINSON, a gentleman who signalized himself at an early period of his life in Trinity College, Dublin, as an accomplished scholar. He was a man of extensive information--whose mind was stored with interesting anecdotes, which he related with great candour, energy, and humour. He was a fond husband--a kind and affectionate father--a steady friend--and a man who wished well to the whole human race. He was the survivor of three brothers, who in the prime of their youth attracted universal attention at the general reviews of Volunteer Corps in Belfast and Newry, for their remarkable elegance and symmetry of features and of form. In activity -- in muscular power, they could not have been excelled by any three men in Ulster. Mr. Hutchinson, prior to his entering into the Church, was a member of the Second Armagh Corps of Volunteers, raised in the year 1789, in which he was a very active and useful member. [7] Ballyrats is probably Ballyrath, Parish of Armagh, Co. Armagh. It is close to Ballyrea. [8] William OLIVER (1764-1844) of Laragh was a son of David OLIVER. His wife was Mary Anne - widow of Clarendon HYDE. He was a brother of Anne OLIVER.
