Notes:

Colonel Quill was the owner of Ballycarty House when it was burned by Republican Forces during the Irish Civil War in 1922/23. It was feared that the Free State Army would use it as a garrison. It is not known if he was living in the house at the time but he was not injured. A youth in the house named Ryle was murdered by the Free State Army during the civil war. The house was burned and never reoccupied.

Quill is an old Irish name and were originally a military family who had to leave Ireland in the 1690's and fought for the French. With the defeat of the forces of James 11 of England by the forces of William 111 in Ireland in 1691, part of the surrender agreement was that the Irish forces could leave Ireland and go with their arms to France to whom they were allied. Tens of Thousands of Irishmen did this and formed their own regiments in the army of the Frnech Kings - these were termed the "wild geese". With the Revolution in France, some would have defected to the British who supported the Royalist cause in France. These regiments or really their leaders would then become established families serving the British Crown. Alternatively, some member of the Quill Family at some stage would have changed sides and become allied to the English side in Ireland and would have been rewarded for becoming loyal to the crown and hence that branch of the family became separated from the old gaelic family who would have remained Catholics.
