Notes

[1] Hogan: Of this family was the late celebrated sculptor, John Hogan, who, in 1800, was born at Tallow, in the County of Waterford. Shortly after his birth his father, who was a builder, removed to Cork. His mother, Frances Cox, was great-granddaughter of Sir Richard Cox, the Chancellor. Exhibiting in his youth a strong taste for art, some friends who were attracted by his works, raised sufficient funds to enable him to sojourn at Rome for a few years. Hogan reached Rome on Palm Sunday, 1824. His best friend was Signor Gentili, then a lawyer, and afterwards a popular Catholic priest and preacher in Dublin. In 1838, Mr. Hogan married an Italian lady, and in 1848 returned to Dublin. He died on the 27th March, 1858, aged 57 years.
