Col Thomas McMahon is listed several times in the 1821 freeholders List in relation to lands at Kiltumper etc.
Ennis Chronicle Wednesday 28 Oct 1818: died last Monday morning at Cahircalla, the seat of David Arthur England Esq, Thomas M'Mahon Esq of the 82nd Regt, eldest son of the late Colonel McMahon of Clonena, in the 23rd year of his age. He had been in a rapid decline for some time and but lately returned from Mallow.
Clare Journal 26 April 1819: Death, at the seat of his brother Newcourt, Bray, in his 22nd year Robert Andrew M'Mahon Esq of the 80th Regt, son of the late Col M'Mahon of Clonina. (The wills of Thomas McMahon, Newcourt, Co Wicklow with the date 1819, and Maria McMahon, Newcourt, Bray with the date 1847 is listed in the Index to Prerogative Wills.
The will of Thomas McMahon, Clonina, Co Clare is listed with the date 1820 in the Diocesan & Prerogative wills & administrations Indexes.
I cannot find the military record of the Colonel anywhere, it is possible that he was Colonel of a Militia Regiment rather than a regular army regiment. Also I have not been able to find a newspaper report of his death. there is an outside chance that he served in a French regiment as he was born probably in the 1750s. He may have been the son of Mortagh McMahon of Clonina & his wife Mary Ellen Mc Donnell.
Does anyone have any info on Colonel McMahon?
