What remains unknown
Monaghan and the description “armiger” are statements in the extract. No birth or death dates are given, and this profile does not identify him with another similarly named historical person.
The date 22 February 1774 belongs to the nobility claim discussed in the archive, not necessarily this person’s lifetime. Philip McManus questioned parts of the pedigree, particularly its attempt to connect different McManus branches.
