DRS. CONNELL O'CONNELL AND JEFFREY (GEOFFREY) O'CONNELL OF CORK ABT. 1787

I have found information that the abovementioned drs.resided at Prospect Row and Marlborough Street, Cork, during 1787. Presume that they were father and son. Jeffrey became a soldier, and was captured during the Reign of Terror in France 1793 and held in the Bastille. Was shortly afterwards released and returned ot Hillgrove, Kerry, Ireland.He gained the rank of Major in the service of the British army Married Elizabeth Ross and their three children were born at Hillgrove. Jeffrey was still alive in 1815. Brevet Major in 18th Foot Regiment 18.09.1814, half pay. According to research done, Jeffrey could have been the son of Dr.Connell O'Connell and Joanna Segerson and was born abt. 1760 - 1767 at Ballyblanoun, St. Finian's Bay, Co. Kerry, Ireland. I think the reason why he returned to Hillgrove was because a 2nd cousinHONORIA O'CONNELL was married to JOHN PRIMROSE ,the owner of the Hillgrove Estate at that time. If anyonehaveinformation to the contrary, or have any information to add, it will be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Mari Claassen de Vries
