#3 James Short of Cashel, Parish of Clontibret, County Monaghan

#3 James Short, found in the vestry meetings, Parish of Clontibret, can also be found in the Tithe records for Cashel in 1830 with his son-in-law James Montgomery.

Perhaps this is the James Short found in the British Parliamentary Papers on Ireland 1801-1922, in the "Select Committee on Orange Lodges, Associations or Societies in Ireland, 20 Jul 1835":
#662 Master's Name, James Short; District, Castleblaney; County, Monaghan and Fermanagh; Place of Meeting, Clontibret; Post Town, Castleblaney.

Thus far four of James' children have been identified, some spelling their name with two "T"s.:

1. John Short, 1800-1873
2. James Short, 1808-1879
3. Anne Short Montgomery, 1801?-14 Jul 1879
4. Thomas Short, 1802-1872
