Notes
a. Note:   Never Married. Never Emigrated. Had a "club" foot and "became a teacher". Edward (also known as Ned) was James and Ann's 5th child and their 4th son. Ned was born with crippled feet and was incapable of performing manual labor. So he was sent to school where he became a brilliant scholar and was the only child of James and Anne that was literate. Ned studied two trades, one a surveyor and the other a valuator of land. Ned would find plenty of employment in surveying and valuing; he always worked for the tenant farmers on the Irish Land Commission but would never work for a landlord as he hated them like vermin. It is believed that he lived out his life with his sister Kate who also never married and help take care of James and Anne in their latter days. Edward never married nor emigrated but according to his nephew Jamie, "He was a great reader, and as to the history of Ireland, since the dawn of time he could repeat it like he was saying his prayers." After Henry died at the age of 63, Ned, then 68, was left in charge of Henry's children. It was at this time that Ned, being the family historian, would impart the McMenamin history to Henry's children. Many years later, one of them, Jamie, would pass on much of this information in "A Letter to Joe McMenamin" (Letter To Joe From Jamie).
