Colclough had charge of the Leighlin district and Jones was Constable of Carlow. The writer, Colclough, has a very peculiar manner of expressing himself'; he apologises for it in another letter of May 27 and desires Bellingham 'to pardon this my rude indyting for lak of learnyng as knowyth the Lord.’ "This last Monday we delyvered yor lps letters directed to Kayre McArte when we caused them by a tounge to be planely declered to him when he denied the restoring of the prey until such time as he spoken with you and in any wise will not grant any time curten to com to yor Lp, the Chefe was there peresent on the other side of the river which made the prey and had divers times before robbed Englyshe men of no small soms of money. Kayre denied him to be his man and refused to answer for him saying he had nothing to do with him, being Sir Richard Butler’s servant and that notwithstanding the pray is in Cayr’s country yet would he by no means have him deliver the pray nor the thief. We promissed to take Mort Oge in hand so he would deliver the theif and who, so soon found guilte, would hang. He said he would have none of that law he would no man be hanged for stealing ondelie, stekinge to the Brehon Laws of restitution....

But seeing no means of escape struck the said Rodwoode in self defence with the kuggeehull of no value to the left side of the head a blow from which he died 12 hours later on the said 21 Oct.

1555	Colclough had charge and rule over the Kavanaghs bordering the River Barrow from St. Molyn’s or St. Mullins, the whole of which barony down to the south of the County he purchased from Thomas Wood in l555. He obtained Tintern on condition of fortifying it and protecting the south and south-west part of the County from the Irish rebels. Colclough was knighted in 1581-2 and his son Sir Thomas Colclough obtained the Duffry (Dubh-tir - the black land) which embraced an extensive district in the vicinity of Mount Leinster including what is now St. Mary's, Newtownbarry, Templeshanbo, and Killanne, right up to Enniscorthy whose inhabitants up to Queen Elizabeth's time paid only the inconsiderable rent of £40 a year for this large tract of country. Philip and Mary granted the Barony to Sir Nicholas Heron, Knight. Queen Elizabeth gave it in 1580 to Thomas Earl of Ormond, who assigned it to the celebrated soldier, Sir Henry Davells, from whom it passed to Sir Thomas Colclough, Knight, a branch of whose descendants resided at Duffry Hall within recent times. Colclough having obtained the Duffry was probably enabled by his mothers fortune to purchase, as he did, from the numerous Kavanaghs their portions of land up to the mountains, as Sir Henry Wallop was advised to do. The Irish having but a life interest would sell for next to nothing. Their deeds of sale were in Mr. Caesar Colclough's possession.	HH/ VI

Richard & Eleanor are referred to in the Colclough pedigree in the 1663 visitation. They were the parents of Sir Anthony Colclough. In another pedigree of 1566 she is called Beatrix and her husband mis-described as Richard Colclough of Ossington. Sir Phillip Draycote’s will in September 1558 refers to woods brought from my brother in law Richard Colclough and 40s to my sister Colclow and a filly to make a mare of."	S 1925 127
1556	Anthony Colclough had a reversion of the manors of Kilcowan & Rosegarland from Francis Agard, whose sister Clare he had married, when the crown granted, in 1556, a lease of them to Philip Isham, seneschal of Wexford.

1620	The chief share of the Burslem family property went to Mrs Catherine Egerton (only child of John Wedgwood and ultimately widow of Rowland Egerton) with her decease at an advanced age in January 1756. The Overhouse in Burslem where she lived and died became after the decay of Dale Hall the chief family residence. This was held from 1620 to 1657 by William Colclough who married Catherine the other daughter and co-heiress of Thomas Burslem but we believe this branch failed on the death of John Colclough the only som of William in 1665 and thereafter the Burslem settled estates descended wholly to the line of the Wedgwoods.	189 JW
1620	One of the daughters of Thomas Burslem married Gilbert Wedgwood, the other William Colclough. The latter gentlemen was a collateral branch of the ancient family of Colclough of the parish of Wolstanton; of which Sir Thomas Colclough, knight, Lord of the Manor of Hanley and owner of considerable property in this neighbourhood, was in 1620, the principle representative.	195 JW
1620	In 1623 Sir Thomas Colclough is described as one of the Churchwardens, or Re-builders, of part of Wolstanton Church He is first named along with Sir Rowland Cotton, Sir William Bower, Knights, Ralph Sneyd, Thomas Crumpton, Jun., John Brett Esq., and the other copyholders of the Manor of Newcastle-under-Lyme, as defendants in a suit commenced for James first by the Chancellor of the Buchy of Lancaster, of which notice will be taken hereafter. We believe his seat was at "Colclough" in Oldcott, a name still preserved in a house and estate of the late Mr Thomas Tunstall, the approach to which, from the Turnpike Road, is along Colclough Lane. The late Mr Turnstall who died in 1838, at the venerable age of 89, was accustomed to talk of Sir Thomas Colclough, and his coach and six black horses, as matters of tradition, received from his grandfather. Sir Thomas removed to Ireland and was buried at Tintern Abbey in the County of Wexford with great funeral pomp in 1624, aged 60 (see Brewsters Beauties of Ireland, Vol. 1. P.360). William Colclough who married Catherine Burslem was for many years seated at the Overhouse, Burslem part of the paternal property; he was constable of the Manor of Tunstall in 1620, and registered in 1657 as occupier of the Overhouse in the Churchwardens Roll of Burslem, and died there in 1662. His only son John died in 1665-6 and left by his will five pounds per annum to the poor of Burslem charged on part of his estate called Broadfields in the Parish of Wolstanton (Broadfield is contiguous of Colclough Lane. John Colclough of Broadfields was amerced for default at Turnstall Court 4 Jan.1. He might be the father of William or his eldest brother). Upon his decease without issue his Burslem estates passed to his second cousin Burslem Wedgwood.	117 JW

1623	There was many suites and cross-suites. The Baylys brought action against the Wedgwoods as trespassers and how the title was left after 20 years of litigation and 17 law suits we do not know; probably both sides were heartily sick of it. The COLCLOUGHS were an important North Staffordshire family. There was descended from a long line of M.P.’s and Mayors of Newcastle. The original seat was at COLCLOUGH in Oldcott in the parish of Wolstanton. The name of COLCLOUGH LANE still survives in the road from Goldenhill through Oldcott to Thursfield (Newchapel). In 1623 SIR THOMAS COLCLOUGH was one of the churchwardens and rebuilders of Wolstanton Parish Church. He was a considerable copyholder with Sir Rowland Cotton, Sir William Bowyer and othe
