  BLG1886 reports that Joane's husband David "had, by his 1st wife, Richard-an-Ieran (Iron Dick), father of Theobald-na-Lung, 1st Lord Viscount Mayo" and shows Joane & David as parents of Walter, ancestor of the Bourkes of Partry. We follow Lodge/Archdall in showing his (unnamed) wife above, a generation later.
