Notes
a. Note:   Ellen is said to have been related to Dr. Barry O'Meara (1782-), whose story is included here... ------------------------------------------------------- When Napoleon was placed into exile at Longwood, St. Helena, there were fifteen British soldiers, lent as servants and gardeners. But the most significant of the "outsiders" in residence was the Irish surgeon, Dr. Barry O'Meara. When Napoleon had crossed to England in the Bellerophon, he had been accompanied by his own physician, a Dr. Maingault, who had expressed the wish to continue as his doctor no matter what the Fates should decree; however, at the mention of St. Helena for his future abode he lost his enthusiasm and withdrew. In his place Napoleon was served by the ship's physician, a young man of thirty-three named Barry O'Meara, who impressed him favorably with his high spirits and proficiency, as well as by his ability to speak Italian. The English were amenable to the idea of having him transferred to St. Helena as Napoleon's doctor, at the same time retaining him on the Navy rolls in order to preserve his pay and seniority as an officer. His relations with the Emperor were most cordial, the Emperor finding himself at ease with the facile Irishman and amused by his stories; he came at last to repose considerable trust in the doctor's integrity. Professionally O'Meara was sound enough, as doctors were estimated in those days, but he was possibly too jovial, somewhat indiscreet in his communications regarding matters observed or discussed at Longwood. His was a privileged position, critical indeed, and it is generally agreed that he may have carried to Plantation House a good deal of information of the sort the governor was only too anxious to obtain. His revelations, however, were insufficient for the sharpened appetite of the governor, who certainly made improper proposals to O'Meara regarding further betrayals of the Emperor's trust, and the entire matter became a "cause celebre" when, in due course, it was brought to light. Dr. O'Meara wrote his important book, "Voice from St. Helena" specifically to denounce Hudson Lowe's treatment of his prisoner, not to gossip about whatever he had seen or overheard at Longwood; he was dismissed almost at the end of 1818, and his story stops there also. Note: Based on his age of thirty-three at the time of Napoleon's exile, it can be deduced that he was born in approximately 1782. Sources: Who Lies Here?
