Many thanks to members of the Fitzpatrick Society List for their prompt and pertinent responses to my questions about John Fitzpatrick (1785-1838). He was not born in County Cavan, he left the army in 1830. The marriage in 1820 is correct. The children including Thomas Mapleson are correct. There is an alternative General, who was Jane Howe's uncle. The Fitzpatrick reseachers sent records about John's father Charles in Ballagh.
The following corrections have been made to the relevant posts.
