What is recorded here
Ambrosio O'Higgins, 1st Marquis of Osorno is a birthplace in Ballynary, County Sligo, Ireland. Perhaps the boy ran barefoot through wet grass before becoming an Irish-Spanish colonial administrator. Maybe he remembered the smell of rain on stone while governing distant lands. Imagine a small house holding the beginning of a life that stretched across oceans.
Why this person is known: Irish-Spanish colonial administrator (1720-1801)
