Starting the fourth page of the manuscript. There is a large title at the
top, complete with flourishes, "Carden of Co Tip'y". The top half of the
page looks more like informal notes about various marriages and individual
families. Below a dividing line, there are two family trees in a much
neater hand. These are for William Carden of Newlands and William Carden
who married Catherine Cleburn, so this information will repeat or augment
the material from the third page, documented in my notes 1-4.
Following is what I can make of the notes on the top half of the page on
the left side.

From the "Carden Pedigree" manuscript at the Irish Genealogical Office,
Dublin, "Loose Pedigrees A-C", FHL British Film 100242:
Carden of Tip'y
[left of title at top of page:] 1652 May 30 Thos Carden son of James born.
1652 Sep 10 James Carden buried.
On By [not sure of those two words] of St. John's Dublin
[there is a line from that note to this note to the lower right of the
title, which might mean it is related:] Carden [marriage symbol] Cathe
[little "e", for Catherine] d of Wm Ragg and Cathe [little "e"] his
wife. [illegible short word perhaps Wm?] bd Will 22 Jan 1657 p at Dublin.
[at the top right of the page, a small square a paper has been pasted on
(19th-Century Post-It) with the following note, keeping the line breaks:]
E H T Heard [Hoard? Heart?] Esq= Anne Seluf [Saluf?]
[illegible phrase could be a date such as Jan 21 xxxx] did at
Campbellian Argyleshixxx [that word ends in a scrawl]
Sep 22 1857 [?? Could be 1657, but not 1757] in his 72 y
[single letter that looks like @ -- maybe a "d" for descendent?] of ltn
Col [guessing looks more like "Cate"] James Carden
Esq of Nenagh and ["s"? could also be "n" for nephew] of Maj
C [for Carden] who fell at Bunkers
Hill & of Captain Carden
who peri'd at Emisc'y in 1798.
[next to this patch of paper, in the same hand, but on the original sheet,
is a small date calculation:] 1851 72 = 1779 [It is quite possible that
this annotation and the patch of paper with the note were done considerably
after other work on the page.]
[Down the left side of the page are some small family tree or marriage
annotations, separated by horizontal strokes. First is a tree:]
William Carden [wife not entered, with descendents:]
- John Carden
- ___ Carden [a first name, perhaps Anna, has been scribbled out. The
entry has a marriage symbol to:] Wm Kent of Ballyhaugh Co Tip'y. W of 26
Aug 1751 p 25 Feb 1752. [an additional phrase is illegible: "Ag K children"?]
[There is a horizontal dividing line, then this marriage:]
Wm Kent of Ballyhaugh Co Tip [tiny word follows: Hastings?] [marriage
symbol] Mary Carden of Coolreagh m [two letters follow, looks like "L @"] 6
Aug 1764 at Killaloe.
[There is a horizontal dividing line, then the next marriage:]
Isaac Rimpiore [? certainly "R", but the rest is questionable] of ____ Co
Clare [marriage symbol] Mrs. Jane Carden of Coolreagh m. 2 N 1765 at Killaloe.
[There is a horizontal dividing line, then a line showing a set of siblings:]
Eliz Kent = Rchd [?] Despard [Dupard?]
Jane Kent = Rob Minnitt
Mary Kent = John Carden
[then the solid siblings line becomes a dotted line out to another xxx
Kent, but the first name is illegible]
[There is a horizontal dividing line, then another family:]
____ Carden Esq. = Reb'h [I would have read this "Deb'h", but I know
from
other sources this is probably Rebeccah] dau of Humphrey Minchin Esq of
[looks like] Bachelorsligh, Kings Co and of Reb & Paul his wife
[sic]. [Two children are shown,] Prisc'a Carden and Paul Carden
