W Cree 2.7.1800 at Curran's, Rathfarnham / 4.7.1800 Cree there / 5.7.1800 Crees there

Probably referred to the family of Curran's estranged wife Sarah, daughter of Dr Richard Creagh. They married in 1774 and separated in 1794. According to Leslie Hale's book John Philpot Curran p136 they never saw each other again but Curran retained the respect of his father-in-law. Lloyds Evening Post of 14.10.1795 reports on a court martial of Lt William Creagh of the Royal Cork Militia who had assaulted a fellow officer after receiving an insult against a female relative (possibly Curran's wife who may have been his sister)
