John Fitzpatrick, according to this Fitzpatrick family tree, was born in 1786 and married Jane Howe in 1820. Their daughter Grace married [Henry] Goodfellow and daughter Mary married [Thomas] Howe. John died on 6 March 1838. These facts confirm his identity from marriage, Census, death and burial sources. From his marriage certificate, John was a Captain in the 88th Regiment of Foot. His death date is specifically stated as 6 March 1838, but I could not find any John Fitzpatrick in the 3rd Buffs, which was a Kent Regiment. His marriage bond stated he was a Captain in the 88th Regiment of Foot. Captain John Fitzpatrick
According to the Shearman family tree, the parents of John Fitzpatrick (1786-1838) were Charles Fitzpatrick of Ballogh and Catherine Purcell of the Loughmoe family. John’s older brother was Joseph Fitzpatrick of Ballogh d.1852 who married Francis Dowling (living in 1878). His younger brother Mathew, a Captain in the 39th Regiment, married Susan Wools in 1817.

Ballogh was Ballagh, now the townland of Ballagharahin in Rathdowney Parish, county Laois in central Ireland. There is an old castle, Ballagh.
This is not the Ballaghmore Castle in Lower Ballaghmore townland, which is further north in Kyle Parish between Roscrea and Borris-in-Ossory.
Charles’ father, John's great-grandfather, also John, married Dymphna Shanahan. He was "of Ballogh", a rural townland in County Laois. This John died in May 1784 and was buried at Errill (Rathdowney Parish), where is a 400 year-old Fitzpatrick Wayside Cross.
John (d.1784)’s father, Joseph Fitzpatrick (b.abt 1702) was heir-at-law to his brother Thomas, who died in 1752. Thomas had purchased Loughteague near Stradbally from John, Earl of Upper Ossory. They were grandson of Thady Fitzpatrick (d.1674).
This is the link between the Fitzpatricks of Ballyboodan and the Fitzpatricks of Ballogh.
