Notes
a. Note:   From: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pasulliv/SullivanCountyHistoricalSociety/Barclay.htm Margaret Roche married William Ronan January 1, 1878 at SS. Peter and Paul's Church, Towanda. William was a native of Ireland; he came to Bradford County in 1867 when 17 years of age. Margaret and William lived on Mechanic Street in Towanda where they raised their seven children, James, Raymond, William, Ellen, Mary, Katherine and Margaret. Margaret entered the Sisters of Mercy and was for many years Principal of Saint Agnes High School in Towanda; her name in religion was Sister Mary Amadeus. Margaret Roche Ronan lived to be one hundred and two years old. She was honored not only on her birthday but once again in 1954 when the Franklin Fire Company of Towanda celebrated it's centennial. She was named "honorary queen" of the centennial and appeared at every important event held in connection with the centennial. It was William Ronan who in 1916 built the beautiful shrine of a grotto depicting Lourdes, located on the lawn between Saint Agnes School and SS. Peter and Paul's Rectory in Towanda. There are descendants of Mrs. Ronan living in Towanda today. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROCHE The first of the Roches who came to Wexford with the Anglo-Normans was of definite Flemish origin, namely Richard FitzGodebert, who is described as son of Godebert Flandrensis (i.e. from Flanders). This Richard? brother, Robert, was granted a large part of the district of the barony of Shelmalier East, immediately north of Wexford town, which became known as Rochesland. They set up headquarters in a castle at Artramont, still standing on the banks of the Slaney. The Roches also built the towers that still stand at picturesque Ferrycarrig and at Barntown. Sir Alexander de la Roche of Artramont founded the abbey at Selskar in Wexford town for the Canons Regular of St. Augustine in 1190. One of the family became its first Prior. Tradition has it that Alexander vowed to dedicate his life to God when, on his return from a crusade to the Holy Land, he discovered that the lady he loved had entered a convent, believing he had been killed. The present-day Wexford historian, Richard Roche, in his account of the family states: ?If the Roches lost their claim to titles and coats of arms in 1618, and their lands and possessions in the Cromwellian Plantation, later generations showed that they had lost none of the qualities of leadership and courage which had distinguished the family in earlier times.' Fr. Philip Roche, born at Monaootagh, led the Wexford rebels at the Battle of Horetown in June 1798, while General Edward Roche was another of the '98 leaders.
