In 1798 there was a rebellion in Ireland. From Wikipedia:


Church of Camolin

It was an uprising against British rule in Ireland lasting from May to September 1798. The United Irishmen, a republican revolutionary group influenced by the ideas of the American and French revolutions, and also advocating the rights of catholics as well as presbyterians, were the main organising force behind the rebellion. Roger was maltreated by the rebels.
Roger Owen, Rector of Camolin, escaped by feigning to be deranged in his understanding. This clergyman has given since the rebellion full proof of a genuine spirit of christian charity for though treated with such cruelty by the rebels that he could hardly be expected to survive his hardships, he has endeavoured since, as far as in his power, to mitigate the rage of the lower classes of Protestants, who have been apt to regard all Romanists in the same light.  [From a letter by Jane Adams (née Owen) to her sister Letitia.]
It is believed, that in Co. Wexford some 6000 people died, in battles or just in killings, between 1798 and 1820.


Frederick Owen, date unknown (from FOSA)

Frederick and Frances
Frederick Owen was rector of Coolkenno (at the border of County Carlow and County Wicklow), SSW of Dublin in Ireland. He lived for over 80 years. Grandson Edwin Stanford (ESM) writes: when over eighty used to tip a whole scuttle of coal on to the fire at one shot just to show he could do it.
Children: 1828 Frederick, 1832 Henry, 1834 William, Anne (x T.Hoskins), 1836 Harriet (x William Stanford) [Harriet and William were related, their grandmothers Cliffe were sisters], 1837 Bedell, Frances Maria (x P.Pratt), Louisa (x rev. Robert L.Stanford, brother of Harriets husband), Thomassina (x A. Montgomery).
[ See Swanzy, p.31: Harriet, 2nd dau. of the Very Rev. Frederick Owen, M.A., Dean of Leighlin, son of the Rev. Roger Carmichael Owen, Rector of Camolin, Co. Wexford, by Anne, dau. of Major Loftus Cliffe. ]


Coolkenno, the Old Rectory
(from History Coolkenno; facebook)

From History of the Coolkenno Area (on facebook.com):
According to Richard Codd's "The Field of the Apple Trees", On 26th April 1868, Rev. Frederick Owen wrote a long letter to the Aghold Parishioners urging for fundraising to be exacted upon refurbishment of Littlewood School. An agreement was made with the Estate Office in Coolattin that the Parish would lease the premises for 99 years at one shilling per annum, for the purpose of a schoolhouse connected with the Protestant Established Church, or such Church as shall correspond therewith, on any new Parliamentary arrangements. He appealed for £ 16 to be gathered for the costs of refurbishment and this was successful by the year's end.
The old parish of Aghold, descendant of the Aghowle monastery, contained the townlands of Aghowle, Coolkenno, Killinure, Munny, Killabeg, Kilquiggan, Gowle, Boley, Munahullen, Raheenakit and Barnamuinga (western end of Co. Wicklow).

On: Coolkenno Glebe - The Old Rectory, Killabeg (from facebook.com/Coolkennohistory):   This building, nestled on the southern slopes of Gowle Hill was once home to the Aghold Parish Anglican Rectors for close to 250 years. Why is it called Coolkenno Glebe when it is in Killabeg? Good question! One sure thing, one of the finest views of the Glebe is from the site of St. Michael's.
The actual purchase and ownership of the Glebe lands (glebe, land serving as part of a clergyman's benefice and providing income) were detailed on the Vestry Minutes from October 12th 1875. It appears communication with the Representative Church Body was successful in regards of purchasing the house and associative lands for the benefit of the parish. This was resolved at £ 515, with a vast amount of the price donated by the Parishioners. At a meeting of the Select Vestry held on 26th Dec. 1877, it was resolved that the detached holding on the Glebe, commonly called "Walker's Holding", having been purchased by the Parish from the Commissioners of Church Temporalities, the Rev. Frederick Owen be requested to communicate with the Rep. Ch. Body with a view to having the said holding vested in them for the benefit of the Parish. On April 23rd 1878, the Parishioners recorded their deep sense of obligation to their venerated and respected Pastor, the Rev. Frederick Owen, for his kindness and generosity in waiving all claims to the purchase of the Glebe lands lately offered for sale, but also for securing the same in perpetuity to the Parish of Coolkenno.
