  1. (continued from previous page)
    notable family that resided in Clonsharra through the 18th century was the Rogers. They were a Protestant family, but by intermarrying with the O'Reilly they turned to the Catholic faith.
    These two families held the whole townsland of Clonsharra between them. The Rogers portion was subdivided between two female representatives of the family. Mary O'Shea the last lineal descendant of the Rogers has sold the old family residence and farm and taken an everlasting farewell to Clonsharra. The other branch of the Rogers is still reprsented in Clonsharra by the Kent family; under the ubiquitous J.J. Dooly; the old home of the O'Reillys has fallen to ruins and the extensive farm is given over to the possession of cattle and sheep.
