Kavanagh, Rev. Fr. John: MSS and associated items in Mount Argus Archives:
SECONDARY SOURCES; Printed Articles:
extracts from an article entitled "The Rossiters of Rathmacnee Castle" by Fr. F.X.Martin, O.S.A., from "The Past - The Organ of the UiCeinsealaigh Historical Society" in which he refers to Fr, Ennis and in a footnote equates this Fr. Ennis with the one referred to by Fr. Kavanagh and whose correspondence he preserved. In foot-note 21 he relies on the Ennis letter of 23-03-1778 where Ennis mentions that his ship acted as escort for U.S.vessels bound for Boston and deduces that Ennis's liking for America may date from the participation of France in the American War of Independence. Fr. Martin had in earlier articles accepted this Fr. Ennis as one of the founders of the Augustinians in America but in a later letter (located at 8/4/7/9 serial no 4309) seemed to be in doubt about that. The doubt has never been resolved. The above photocopy was forwarded by Fr, Martin in 1993 (see items at 8/4/7/ 10-14).
