Notes about Charles (Sorley) MacDonnell

In 1746 moved from Coolavin to Baytown.

It is mentioned that Charles paid a visit to London "to seek for some favour or redress from the King himself" (George II). Another version of the story is "that he was greatly fretted by the loss of some property or interest in Coolavina, that he had a trial for it here, and that failing here he had tried again in London, whither he went himself about it, and lost it." It is more probable that he tried to get back, or to get some compensation for, his forfeited property in the Queen's County. We know that he had a suit in the Irish Court of Exchequer, and that an appeal having been made to the House of Lords the final decision was against him. This was no doubt the business which took him to London in 1739. He certainly brought back a favourable impression of the courtesy with which he had been treated in his unsuccessful mission, and he called his youngest son George, after the King. This introduced the name George into the MacDonnell family.
