In Griffith's Valuation

• Claraghmore 3A+B: Arthur Coll.
• Claraghmore 14: Patrick Coll.
• Legphressy 4: Arthur Coll.
• Dressog 2: Hugh Coll.
• Dressog 6: Patrick Coll jun.
• Dressog 9: Francis Coll.
• Dressog 11: Francis Coll.
• Dressog 12: James Coll.
• Dressog 13: Patrick Coll sen.
• Dressog 16: Bernard Coll.
• Dressog 17: Patrick Coll (Owen)
• Dressog 18: Hugh Coll.

The conventions of this valuation tell us that Dressog 2 and 18 were the same Hugh; the Claraghmore and Legphressy people may or may not be the same as any of the others; and the three Patricks at Dressog were 3 different people. Lot 17 most likely indicates that Owen was his father's forename.

It's anyone's guess as to which of the four Patricks with WikiTree profiles correspond to the 3 Patricks in Griffith's !
