• Notes

  The Irish Accounts of Sir Henry SYDNEY are replete with names of Captains serving in Leix and elsewhere, but in the accounts up to 1559, John PIGOTT's name does not appear, although he may have been accounted for under the name of his superior officer, whomever that may have been (perhaps even Giles OVINGTON alias HOVENDEN, who is mentioned a number of times in the pre-1559 accounts, and whose widow may have been Johanna WALSH, who became Robert PIGOTT's mother).
