Just back from holidays and checking the emails and found this. Although I haven't commented lately I receive an alert.

I had never heard of Cromwell Settlers as a term used to described the division of lands in Ireland to either officers or supporters from the Cromwell invasion of Ireland. It makes him sound less like the murdering soldier he and his supporters were.

My husband's family also served, Osberg Codd and probably received lands in payment of services rendered in Wexford.

I think of settlers as the farmers 'Plantations' of English, Scots and the Welsh who came to farm the land for the Gentry and Aristocrats.

Some of the Codd families moved up to Wicklow and the Shillelagh/Aghold Parish/and surrounds on the Earl Fitzwilliam Estate "Coollattin" some of whom came to (Upper)Canada about 1820-1832.
