Citation details: Examination of Captain John Sweet, 09/09/1652, MS 826, fols 19r-20v Quality of data: primary evidence Note: Captain John Sweet, 9 Sep 1652: in the year of the first Cessation (1643), Colonel Searle, governor of Bandonbridge, charged Mac-ni-Crimen with the Burrowes murders; he answered that it was McCarthy Reagh's act. Ordered to be seized, he was not found for some months, then showed the governor, and Sweet at Timoleague, a writing under McCarthy Reagh's hand: "fforasmuch as mc ne Crimin is like to be questioned for John Burroughs death &c, I doe acquitt the said mc ne Crimin, and owne the same to be my Act". He was not questioned further then. About 1650 at Timoleague McCarthy Reagh told John Burroughes junior that he had given the writing after the event, at his own wife's importunity. |

Note

Marriage grade B-: stated by Bennett (1869), who calls her a daughter of Randal Oge Hurley and Catherine Collins (O'Cullane), and says Mac-ni-Crimen fled to Kildee "within sight of his brother-in-law's castle" (Ballinacarriga). Not in Mac-ni-Crimen's own examination (MS 826 fols 76r-77v). Bennett also says Mac-ni-Crimen's wife importuned McCarthy Reagh for the written order. That appears to be a misreading of Captain John Sweet's testimony of 9 Sep 1652 (MS 826 fols 19r-20v), where McCarthy Reagh says Mac-ni-Crimen "desired his mac Cartyes wife" to get something under his hand, "which vpon his wifes Importunity mc Caarty granted": the wife was McCarthy Reagh's. So no examination of Mac-ni-Crimen's wife is to be expected; Bennett's statement of the marriage itself (his footnote) is independent of this and stays grade B-. The son, Captain Mac-ni-Crimen, may be by an earlier wife. Citation details: pp. 173-175 n., 191 n.
