He was born in Skreen, County Sligo, and was a relative of the scholar Owen Connellan. He started a school of his own, but had more success when he became principal of a school established by the Rev. Albert Blest[1] (father of William Cunningham Blest), a Baptist, supported by the London Hibernian Society in Greenville, Coolaney, in the early 1800s. Like his relative Owen he left the Catholic church and embraced Protestantism, around 1808.[2] Among other works he produced an Irish-English dictionary and edited a series of song-books.[3][4]
