What action Cornelius saw is not known but he obviously did not suffer any penalty or expropriation for his espousal of the Jacobite cause. His general circumstances are enshrined in his Marriage Settlement of 8 February l696:
"An Indenture, dated 8 February 1696 between Teige Fogarty of Garane, Co. Tipperary, gent, of the Ist part; Theobald Butler Ballyvadlea gent, and John Hennesy Killusty in the said county, gent, on the other part, Witnesseth that the said Teige Fogarty in consideration of a marraige solemnised between Cornelius Fogarty, son and heir of said Teige Fogarty and Mary Kearney, for love and affection and for a competant Jointure for the said Mary in consideration of £1,000 secured, to be paid to the saud Cornelius as a marriage portion with her, and for settling the lands, had bargained, released etc. unto the said Theobald Butler, Michael Kearney and John Hennesey and their heirs, transferred the lands, town, village and hamlets of Garrane, containing sixty acres profitable plantation measure and the commons thereto belonging, as also the lands of ffithmone, being the estate and possession of the said Teige Fogarty, with all edifaces, houses, buildings, orchards, garden, mills, woods, underwood etc..."
(Witnesses to the Marriage Settlement were:) Richard Carroll, Jno. Riane, Thomas Fogarty & John Nunane."
Following Cornelius' marriage, his father, Teige removed to Clonismullin in the Drom parish and died sometime in l697/8(See his Will in Appendix I)
Wills are not only a rich and accurate source of genealogical data but also a valuable repository of the prevailing customs for providing for one's widow and offspring in the late l7th and early l8th centuries. An abridged version of Cornelius O'Fogarty's will illustrates the value of such information....:

As Cornelius' son, Teige or Timothy, died sine prole sometime around 1747, Castlefogarty devolved upon Thomas the Medical Doctor who had a medical practice in Wexford for some time at least. He left a solvent and flourishing patrimony to his son Dr. James Fogarty.
