The Barracks of Clonmel
In 1826 Lt. Fredrick Close of the 86th Foot fell in love with a local girl,
Anna Grubb, daughter of a well-to-do quaker merchant. The affair was
frowned upon by the girl's family. On the evening of 26th February Anna
arranged to meet her lover by the Gashouse bridge. The two lovers went for
a stroll along the river which was in flood. They were never seen alive
again. At first it was thought that the couple had eloped. It was treated
as a bit of a joke in the regiment, the Adjudant even ordered the band to
play the tune �Merrily danced the quakers wife� at tattoo one evening.
However a month later two boatmen pulled the body of Lt. Close from the
river at Kilganey, two miles from the town. Anna�s body was found later
after a search. The coroner�s verdict was suicide. However it was alleged
in a paper that the pair had been murdered by a rival suitor. The ensuing
libel case was won by the plaintiff. Lt. Close is buried in St. Mary�s
church yard. Anna is buried in an unmarked grave in the Friends burial
ground in O�Neill St.

Some History of the Clyburn Family Name
[as researched by Frank Clyburn (Bud's Son)]
The surname Clyburn is of locative origin, belonging to that category of
surnames derived from the place where the original bearer once lived or
held land. In this instance, the surname Cleburn can be traced to the place
name Cliburn located six miles from Penrith in Westmoreland. It is derived
from the Old English "cliff " meaning "cliff, slope" and the Middle English
"burn " meaning "astream." The earliest written reference to the sur-name
Cleburn and its variant Cliburn, Clibburn, Claborn, Clibborn, Clabburn and
Clabon dates back to the fourteenth century and includes one Robert de
Cleburne who is
recorded in the Register for the Freemen of the City of York in 1364.
Thomas Clabeyn, bailiff of Yarmouth is listed in the Feet of Fines for
Yorkshire in 1412 and William Clayborne is mentioned in the same records
for Nortolk during the reign of Edward VI. Oliver Clibburn is also listed
in the Register for the Freemen of the City of York in 1475. It must also
be noted that there was a personal name for records include one Clibern
Bishop who appears in the Charters of the Honour of Mawbray c. 1150-69 and
one Clibernbus is listed int the Feet of Fines for Yorkshire
in 1202. It is interesting to note that the surname Cleburn and its
variants Clibborn, Clayburn and Clebburn can be found in Ireland. The main
family settled in Moate Co. Westmeath during the Cromwellian period of the
seventeenth century although the name was in Ireland before that as one
William Clyburn was the Dean of Kildare in 1642.
The arms described below are those of the above mentioned Clibborn
Family of Moate Castle, Co. Westmeath.
BLAZEN OF ARMES : Argent, a chevron voided between three wolves' heads
sable, on a chief of the lasst an escallop between two round buckles of the

Following on from Ron's e-mail:
I have seen a reference to the infamous Captain George Clibborn but have not yet identified him. I have 2 or 3 possibilities. I don't think it is Colonel George Clibborn (1736-1804) who succeeded to Moate Castle as he would have been too old in 1798.
I have Cuthbert Clibborn in the rootsweb Clibborn database but I do not include my notes on individuals.
My notes are:
Research at the Wellcome Medical Library:
of Moate and Belfast
of Kiltegan, Baltinglass, co Wicklow
