'Comely' Jane Downing was the daughter of the neighboring farmer of the O'Neill homestead at Trailibane, County Cork. Her father was Francis O'Neill's flute instructor. See "Miss Downing's Fancy" for another tune named in her honor. "Tady's Wattle" is a related tune and perhaps a precursor, however, the ultimate source for the tune is a volume of English country dances, Preston's Twenty Four Dances for the Year 1793, where an almost exact version was printed as "Seymour's Fancy." There is no source attribution for the tune in O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1903), and it is not known where O'Neill might have learned it. County Leitrim fiddler and piper Stephen Grier (c. 1824-1894) entered the reel as "Lord Seymour's Reel" in Book 2 of his c. 1883 music manuscript collection. See also the North West England version "Haul Away the Hawser (2)" and Petrie's "Goroum (The)." See also a related first strain in the "Western Gem" family of tunes.
