note on Prodigy from Patricia Geraghty:
My husband is from Cavan and he thinks possibly you are talking about Lord Farnham whose plac eis just outside of Cavan Town. Lynch is a very big name in my husbands area which is Bruce Mountain just outside of the town of Arva not far from Lord Farnham's place outside of Cavan Town.
Ann Lynch Boyer says PeytonLynch was supposedly Catholic and converted, family tradition holds that was his main reason for leaving, but his brother was a Methodist minister in Dublin.
Peyton's grandgather was possibly James, and Peyton's mother's maiden name may have been Peyton
