There is also a possibility that the father of John and Patrick Dargan was Edmond Dargan of Kilmacahill (Kilmachill). There are 3 Dorgan stones side by side on your right as you go in the gate at the Ballymacoda Hill Cemetery:

[I came across a Dorgan entry in a 1842 census of Midleton. I put it here because I do not know where else to put it!]:

Ansty Dorgan Daughter 5
Timothy Dorgan Son 4
Mary Daughter 2y 3 m
Julia Daughter 3m.
Hegarty John Servant 16

There is an Extract of Marriages 1819-1855 from the RC Parish Register of Kilmichael, Co. Cork which records this marriage, but I am not sure if this is the right John Dorgan: July 1837: John HARTNETT to Joan HALEHAN witnesses: Jerry HALIHAN + May DONOVAN.

There is also a possibility that the father of John and Patrick Dargan was John Dorgan if the Irish naming pattern holds. I found this notation in the CMCR Project:

The 1901 Census of Ireland lists a John Dorgan and his wife Ellen and their family living at Kilmacahill in a private second-class home with three rooms and three front windows. The house was constructed of stone or brick with a tile or slated roof. There were eight outhouses: stable, cow house, calf house, dairy, piggery, fowl house, barn and potato house.

John Dorgan could read and write Irish and English.
