Notes
General:
Jamie says that Dan died the same year his sister wrote her famous letter to the US cousins. This is doubtful as there is a photo of him (see scrap book) with sisters Kitty and Lizzie and Kitty is at least 20 in the photo. She was born in 1900.

Cause of death unknown but an illness, not an accident. [NB: The newspaper obit says that the immediate cause of his death was an illness attributed to an accident several years previously. CM 31 12 2025]He was delicate and wore glasses.

Sponsors at Baptism were Thomas Hough and Catherine Harty (TNFHF).

201007: There is a rumour now circulating, which I originally heard from Rita Elkins and discounted but which she says has been verified by others in Silverstream during her recent visit that Daniel was a spy for the British Army and was killed overseas by the Germans. I still don't believe this is true as it would have been rumoured before now. [NB Rita got it wrong. It was his brother John who was reputedly a spy for the British in Germany. He was a journalist and served in Germany in the years leading up to the outbreak of WWI. But he survived. [CM 31 12 2025]

Notes
General:
020114:

This entire line of eventual US Quinlisks has not been connected in any way to the line from Cloghjordan and may not be a part of that line. In future, it may be decided to take it out of the family tree file but for now it is being retained as a detached family against the eventuality that some connection between the two lines may eventually be found.
