The No. 2 obelisk commemorating the Adams family is my family. Thomas Rutherford Adams was my great great grandfather - his daughter Isabella being my great grandmother. I visited this graveyard in 2005 and notice there is a new plaque dedicated to Anne Duncan and her sons. Do you have any idea who had this plaque done? I am hoping to revisit Kilmoganny in 2018. Did the history of Kilmoganny ever get finished and/or published? Regards, Eunice Robinson, British Columbia, Canada -

Hello Eunice
We are delighted to receive a communication from British Columbia Canada. We are very familiar with this Obelisk your family stone and each time we returned to it, it was getting more impossible to read as the elements are taking its toll on it. We have read the added stone you mention perhaps we will know more about it when you come to Kilmoganny. That local history publication is moving towards publication. Mary Casteleyn has written an article about members of a local family who fought in the battles of Fontenoy and Dettingen with the many Irish Regiments in the French Wars.
We have recorded another Adams obelisk at Kilree perhaps it has relevance to you commemorating; In memory of a beloved father and mother Robert and Margaret Adams who died 1863-4 in New London Connecticut U S
A dear sister Mrs Mary Field who died april 3rd 1876 aged 53 years. William Adams died Feb 25th 1909. Margaret Stewart Adams died June 23rd 1882. The obelisk is within an iron enclosure had us thinking of the similarities between these two monuments. Your map will tell you how close Kilmoganny is to the old monastic site at Kilree. we are shortly adding Kilree to this blog.
Hope to hear from you again Eunice kind regards
