Paul de Grae points out that Francis O'Neill printed another, slightly different, setting of the tune entitled "[[Kelly's Hornpipe]]" in his '''O'Neill's Irish Music''' (1915), "which may reflect [Chicago fiddler] John McFadden's well-known penchant for variation"<ref>Paul de Grae, "Notes on Sources of Tunes in the O'Neill Collections", 2017 [https://www.irishtune.info/public/oneill-sources.htm].</ref>. Curiously, though, four years after originally publishing the reel in his '''Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies''' (1903), O'Neill left "Pretty Maggie Morrissey" out of his second seminal volume, '''Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems''' (1907).
