Greetings,



I am not sure if this webpage has correct information, but it seems to claim that D. Alejandro O'Reilly was a count, and that he was related to the MacKennas family from Ireland.

Is this the same O'Reilly que fue Lieutenant General, and Governor of Lousiana?



In 1796, another young Irish engineer arrived in Chile with letters of recommendation to Ambrose O'Higgins. He was Juan MacKenna from Clogher in County Tyrone, whose Spanish training had been arranged by Count Alejandro O'Reilly, an influential Irish officer in Spain who was related to MacKenna's mother Eleanor O'Reilly.

Saludos,

Es cierto lo que dice esta pagina, que don Alejandro O'Reilly era conde, y que era pariente de los MacKenna del condado de Tyrone? Veo que fue mariscal.

Es el mismo que estuvo en Puerto Rico y en Cuba, y que fue gobernador de la Louisiana?



Juan
