The marriage in Dublin in 1796 was obviously a shotgun affair between two teenagers with the Widow Roe holding the shotgun, William's father knew nothing about it until 18 months later. William was banished to England and disowned, the baby seems to have been brought up by the Sadleirs (William's sister was married to Clement Sadleir) but was never recognised by the Scully family. There is a complete blank between the birth of Thomas Sadleir Scully about 1796/7 and his marriage to Eleanor Cairns Wall in Jan. 1830,
but he was obviously well educated. Today if you visit Ennisnag you may notice a plague on the old stone bridge to the memory of Brig.General James Wall Scully who was born there.
