Couldn't believe that he wasn't already written up. Took a stab at giving a class and priority rating above; let the assessors of those groups adjust it accordingly. Notuncurious (talk) 21:07, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * There is supposedly a picture of him at age 79 in the frontispiece of his grandson's (also named Charles O'Conor) "Memoirs of the Life and Writings of Charles O'Conor, of Belanagare" by Rev. Charles O'Conor, Dublin, 1796, if anyone has access to it (only a few copies printed, and the Rev. later chose to suppress it).
 * Some sources say he was born in Kilmactrany; others that he was born in Killintrany; I probably should have said so in the article, at the cost of cluttering it; perhaps someone with better access to information can remove all doubt.

It's a good page, well done. I question that he was The O'C Don (" He was well-known in Ireland from his youth, as a civil-tongued but adamant advocate of Gaelic culture and history, who had suffered for his adherence to Catholicism, and who was the recognised Ó Conchubhair Donn,"), and think that that was his brother or cousin. He was allowed to research the Gaelic manuscripts in Trinity College Dublin having friends there. Also mentioned by Arthur Young in his Tour in Ireland. I'll find the refs first.
