    1449. Roger. (or Rossa) IWaguire (BVlaguidhar) Canon of Clogher, was provided to ttie See (" Vacant by the resignation of Peter ") on 2ist July 1447 (C.P.L. x., 299), and was cons, at Drogheda by the Primate in 1449/50. The Four Masters say of him that " he was a man eminent for wisdom and piety." In 1458, on the complaint of the Dean, he was served by the Primate with a monition to reside and keep hospitality (Ann. D.R.). He d. in 1483 and was bur. at Aghalurcher (An. Ult.). He had res. the bishopric before his death. See also below. His son Hugh became Dean, (see Deans).

    1475. Florence Wulley (or Wooley), a professed monk of St. Mary's Benedictine Monastery at Abingdon, Salisbury Diocese, and beneficed in the Diocese of Norwich, was provided to the See by the Pope, " Vacant by the res. of Roger " on 20 Nov.; 1475, and was cons, on 27th Nov., 1475. He d. in 1500 (E{ubel ii., 146 ; fessop's Memoir of Norw. Dio.). Stubbs (Reg. Sac. Angl. 148) says he was suffragan Bishop of Norwich, 1478-1486. He probably held the Bishopric of Clogher but a short time, if he took possession at all. He seems to be ignored in the next Papal provision to Clogher made to one Neillan before June 1484 " on the death (sic) of Bishop Roger Maguirc." Neillan d. at Rome before his bulls were perfected (see Ann. Hib. i., 45). Perhaps Bishop Roger resumed the Bishopric in 1478 and thus allowed Florence to go to Norwich ?

Dr. Lawlor suggests that the See was removed back to Clogher in order to drive out the usurping bishops. (L.A. Jour, iv., 140).

Wm. Moffatt was appointed B. of Currin, which had been resigned by the Bev. Andrew Allen, and which the Bev. Wm.

    Dr. Stearne's charities were munificent. He gave l,ooo for the building of the Printing House in T.C.D., and 200 to buy type for it ; and by his Will made I3th May, 1741 (with three codicils) he disposed of about 50,000 in charity. Among his -bequests were the following : 80 a year for a Divine to explain the Catechism by a weekly lecture in St. Werburgh's, Dublin, and 40 a year for a Chaplain for Dr. Steevens' Hospital in Dublin, which hospital was to have his estate at Ballough, Co. Dublin, on the death of his nephew, Richard Hall, subject to 20 per annum to Mercer's Alms House, which got also 200 ; ten Exhibitions, value 5 each, to T.C.D., with a preference for students from the Diocese of Clogher ; to T.C.D.

The remainder of his books, after Marsh's Library got certain of them (see Stokes' Worthies, p. 126 et seq.) to be sold for, or, given to the Curates- Assistant of the diocese. The Exors. afterwards divided them in lots, and they were drawn for by the Curates. The residue of his property, including estates in Armagh, Monaghan and Dublin, Was left in trust to his Exors. and Trustees for charitable purposes. The only one of these living at his death was Richard Vincent, of New Abbey, Co. Kildare, who proved the Will. As the Vincent family jealously kept the trusteeship in their own hands and considerable dissatisfaction was felt as to the management of the Charity an Act of the Irish Parliament Was passed in 1764 (il and 12, Geo.

59. Rev. Wm. Moffatt held Currin parish until death in 1841

    Currin · townland · Fermanagh · 1804–1841

    The Rev. Wm. Moffatt was appointed B. of Currin in 1804 and continued to hold it until his death in 1841. He also retained part of Drumkrin parish, which lapsed to Drummully upon his death, with Drumkrin Parish Church becoming the Parish Church of Drummully.

    The Bev. Wm. Moffatt must, I think, at the same time have ceded to Dr. Story that part of Drumkrin which was to go to Galloon as on the same 6th March, 1804, Dr. Story was re-appointed to the Chancellorship with the B. & V. of Galloon, and the Bev. Wm. Moffatt was appointed B. of Currin, which had been resigned by the Bev. Andrew Allen, and which the Bev. Wm. Moffatt continued to hold until his death in 1841, together with, at least, part of that portion of Drumkrin which was eventually to go to Drummully, though, I suspect that he may have ceded some townlands to Drummully after the Bev, James Ha/sting's death in 1823.

    The Bev. James Hastings did not resign Drummully, so from 1804 to 1823 Galloon seems to have had no Parish Church [except the ruined one which it re-acquired, I think, in 1806], while Drummully retained its Parish Church at Newtownbutler until 1823, when the Bev. James Hastings died.
