  • Notes 
    • According to David Woodburn (CIS: 100554,526), Mary Jane married a Torrens of Movanagher.

      According to Richard Torrens (http://www.4qd.co.uk/torrens), a Mary Jane Woodburn married Samuel Torrance of Tamlaght. Richard notes in his quite interesting and thoroughly researched website that there is tradition whereby Scotch-Irish parents named their children for their own parents and siblings according to an established pattern. The tradition is as follows:.

      First son - named after father's father (Paternal Grandfather) Second son - named after mother's father (Maternal Grandfather) Third son - named after father First daughter - named after mother's mother (Maternal Grandmother) Second daughter - named after father's mother (Paternal Grandmother) Third daughter - named after mother

      While one must be careful to draw too many conclusions from this pattern, it can help identify childen to a particular family.
