Biography
The Shell Guide to Ireland describes Donore thus: "A village 13 miles from Navan and 4 miles from Drogheda. At the Battle of the Boyne, 1 July 1690,the Jacobite camp stretched along the slopes of Donore Hill (402 ft) and James II's command post was near the ruined hilltop church. When the left flank was turned the Jacobites retired in tolerable order towards Duleek and halted for the night on the S, side of the River ?anny. In Donore Church are the remains of a ?ynnott altar-tomb".

From the Chaplin and Skinner book, chapter on the Nugents, with reference to Col Edward Nugent, father of Juliana:

"Colonel Nugent appears to have spent the greater part of his time between the years 1786 and 1802 in Ireland, and it was then that his intimacy with his cousin, Sir James Nugent, sprang up, and it must have been at this time that he twice rescued Sir James from his financial troubles, and paid some £830 to take him out of the hands of the officers. It was doubtless to secure the repayment of this and other moneys that Sir James gave him a charge on the Donore Estates, which some forty years later was the subject of the litigation which will in due course be mentioned (see Peter Nugent, brother of James). Colonel Nugent was on his first arrival in Ireland actively employed in raising men for the service of the East India Company."
