  • The cantred of Feara Arda of gold, Fear-Arda, i.e., men of the point. This was another name for the Corcumruadh. The island of Inis-caerach, now Mutton Island, near Kilmurry Ibrickan, was in the territory of Feara-Arda.

    O'Conchobhair obtained the land,
    O'Conchobhair, now O'Conor. This family had considerable possessions in the barony of Corcomroe, in the year 1584, and for some time after; but at the present day, there is not a man of the race above the rank of cottier or small farmer.
  • 122. Teige O'Doyne, of Castlebrack, Queen's County: his son; prince of Iregon, and chief of his name; was living in 1593; had five sons, and a brother named Tirlogh, who was the ancestor of Dunn of Ards.
  • Teige O'Doyne, of Castlebrack, Queen's County, prince of Iregon, and chief of his name; was living in 1593; had five sons, and a brother named Tirlogh, who was the ancestor of another branch - Dunn of Ards. It is noted that the Castlebrack tenants of this Teige O'Doyne paid one penny "heriot" per acre, on the death of each Ceannfinne or chief head of a family. The word heriot means "a fine paid to the lord of the manor at the death of a landholder." His tenants of Kernymore paid yearly - two beeves, twenty-four crannochs of oats, forty cakes of bread, thirteen dishes of butter, seventeen cans of malt; eight pence, heriot, in money, on the death of each Ceannfinne; one reaping hook (service) on one of every twenty acres; custom ploughs one day in winter and one in summer. From inhabitants of Ballykeneine Quarter: Meat and drink for twenty-four horse boys, or four shillings for their diet. From the inhabitants of Cappabrogan: like duties. From Garrough: like duties. These "Chief Rents" were A.D. 1613, abolished in Ireland in the reign of King James the First, by the Parliament then held in Dublin by the Lord Deputy Sir Arthur Chichester

1594 O'Ceallachain of the fair skin, O'Ceallachain. - The O'Ceallachains, now O'Callaghans, are descended from Ceallachan, son of Domhnall, son of Murchadh, son of Donnchadh, son of Ceallachan, king of Cashel, or Munster, who died in the year 954. See Circuit of Muircheartach Mac Neill, p. 64. Before the English Invasion the O'Callaghans were seated in the barony of Cinel-Aedha, now Kinelea, in the south of the county of Cork; but being driven from thence by Robert Fitzstephen and Milo de Cogan, they settled in the barony of Duhallow, in the north of the same county, where the chief of the family, Conor O'Callaghan, resided at the Castle of Drumaneen, on the Blackwater, in 1594, and then enjoyed extensive territorial possessions, comprising the parishes of Kilshannig and Clonmeen, as appears from an inquisition taken at Mallow before Sir Thomas Norris, Vice-President of Munster, on the 25th of Octorber, 1594. The head of this family was transplanted by Cromwell to the county of Clare. Lord Lismore is the present chief of the name in Ireland.
Of the race of Ceallachan of Caisel,
Men for whom a flood of fruit burst forth
Over the dark nut-bearing wood.

  • No other of the name ever became Prince of Offaley, but shortly after OConor Falys downfall. ODempsey was created Viscount Clanmaliere, through what interest I know not, but it would appear that ODempsey assisted the Cosbys and other ferocious families to murder the Irish at Mullamast, and this is perhaps sufficient to account for his exaltation. But a reaction is sure to follow such massacres.
  • See Extracts from the Annals under the heads Ui Failghe and Clann Maoilughra.
  • It would also appear that OKellys beautiful Territory of Leighe was divided between the Geraldines and ODempseys after the OKellys were put down. The following passage in the Annals of Clonmacnoise as translated by Connell Mageoghegan will give some idea of the period at which the OKellys had possession of this territory:-

One member of the sept was killed at the battle of Aughrim in 1691. Another very active Jacobite was James O'Dunne (circa 1700-1758), Bishop of Ossory, most of whose life was spent in France, in the service of which country several of his relatives distinguished themselves as diplomats and soldiers.

1731 Michael Doyle is named in a Return made in 1731 (See Vol. I. p. 268,) as Popish Priest of Agha and resident at Leighlin- Bridge. In the same return Charles Rice is mentioned as Priest of Lorum ; it is not unlikely that he was assistant to Michael Doyle. It would appear from Dean Skeltons list of 1 733, that this Fr. Rice had then become P.P. of Leighlin-Bridge (See Vol. I.p. 274.) In the Deans List also there is a priest named Owen Boyle , the name of whose parish is omitted ; but as Dunleckney is there unaccounted for, it is surmised that he had charge of that parish.

The O'Neills of Ui-Eochain Finn, Deochain deacon Ui-Eoghain Finn. - The territory of this tribe was in northern Deisi, two fair kings, I no not conceal them, Over the Deisi I assert, obric and phelan Deisi.in the present county of Tipperary, and adjoining Iverk on the west side. See the Miscellany of the Archaeological Society, vol. i., p. 205. The O'Neills of this race, the head of whom was an esquire in 1753, were afterwards seated at Mount Neill, in the barony of Iverk, county Kilkenny.

the whimsically named Bramblestown, near the pretty village of Inistioge in County Kilkenny, nurtured a unique family. Between 1756 and 1856 came a dynasty of military men: a series of six major-generals, four of them baronets, and several Royal Navy officers. In 1911 a descendant, Colonel Arthur Doyle, did his utmost to sort them out in his book "A Hundred Years of Conflict, Being Some Records of the Services of Six Generals of the Doyle Family, 1756-1856". The number of Doyle generals was too much for the Dictionary of National Biography, which, Colonel Arthur writes, "got them all mixed up", as also did the Gentleman's Magazine. In London, a Court official who was sending out invitations, remarked to the King, "I can never distinguish between them". Said the King, "Perhaps it's just as well that they have taken good care to distinguish themselves".

Colonel Arthur Doyle tells how, "Being Catholic they were bullied by James I and bullied by Cromwell. Possibly they became Protestant by 1690 through marriage to a Scottish widow. Several were in King James's Irish army at the battle of the Boyne. Afterwards they were bullied again by William II who cut off a Doyle head and stuck it on the walls of Kilkenny Castle". They also served with the Irish Brigade in Europe where they were called Doyley and, in French, Doyelle. In the French army at that time, the Irish were at a disadvantage because of the vindictiveness of Sir Robert Walpole, the Whig Prime Minister, who made use of his friendship with a French cardinal to hold up the promotion of Irish officers.

Sir John Doyle (1756-1834), a general, was one of the four sons of Charles Doyle of Bramblestown. A graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, he served with the British army in the United States. When the Civil War ended there in 1784, he returned to Ireland where he was elected Member of Parliament for Mullingar and proved himself as eloquent a speaker as any in that talented, pre-Union, Irish House of Commons. Sir John raised the famous 87th Regiment in 1794 to serve in the Netherlands. At one time he was Private Secretary to the Prince of Wales. When he retired he was appointed Governor of Guernsey where his able administration, assisted by a nephew, also John Doyle, is commemorated by an impressive column.

Major Welbore-Ellis Doyle (1758-97) was in Philadelphia in 1788 where he founded a regiment from the Irish who were constantly deserting from the "enemy's" ranks. Called the Volunteers of Ireland, Doyle was its lieutenant-colonel. Unfortunately, the Irish, when they were displeased, had the habit of dashing back to the enemy's lines. A much-travelled soldier, Welbore was Military Envoy to Poland and Warsaw and died in Ceylon at the age of 39

Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Doyle (1770-1842) was the soldier who introduced the "Ca Ira" cry into the British army during a deadly exchange with the French. He was sent to Spain to train the Spanish army and was made a Spanish lieutenant-general with the Doyle Triadores. He was Member of Parliament for Carlow from 1831 to 1852. He served in many European countries. In Portugal he became entangled in politics, which led to him having some financial problems with the British army. However, his honour was vindicated by burial at Windsor

A further three distinguished Doyles were Major-General Sir Francis Doyle, Baronet (1783-1839), Major-General Charles Doyle (1787-1848), and Major-General Sir John Milley Doyle (1781-1856). They all had enterprising army careers in Europe, Egypt, Canada, America and the West Indies. Several budding Doyle generals had seen action by the tender age of ten or fourteen, enticed into the army by enthusiastic fathers, brothers or uncles. Between battles they would return to Ireland to cultivate their land, become Members of Parliament or command the local militia. Eventually, they mostly left Ireland for England, though one Doyle baronet, formerly of the Royal Irish Fusiliers, remains in the Republic of Ireland.

James doyle 1786-1834 bishop of Kildare and leighlin the champion o the catholic cause jkl

James Warren Doyle (1786-1834) was born in New Ross, County Wexford. His father was a farmer and his mother a Quaker. He went to college in Coimbra, Portugal, but his clerical studies were rudely interrupted by the clash between the armies of Napoleon and Wellington (who annexed him as an interpreter with the English army). When Napoleon was defeated he was able to return home and begin his clerical ministry at Carlow College. Probably marked by the rigours of war, his unorthodox battle-scarred appearance did not at first commend him to his pupils. They quickly discovered, however, that they had a knowledgeable teacher with a most original mind. He even dared express the hope of a possible union between the Established and the Catholic Churches! He was a stern disciplinarian and wrote vehemently on the state of Ireland and its Church, using the initials J.K.L. - James, Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin. Three times he was asked to give evidence before a parliamentary committee in London, where they found him impressive. "You have been examining Dr Doyle", someone remarked to the Duke of Wellington. "No, but he has been examining us", replied the Duke. Bishop Doyle renewed church discipline, built schools and the cathedral in Carlow where, worn out by overwork, he died and was buried at the age of 48.

John Doyle (1797-1868) was the forefather of a generation of Doyles who were to contribute greatly to the artistic and literary world. John first studied art in his native Dublin where he made a name painting horses. He went to London to try portrait painting, but, instead he was hugely successful as "HB", the political cartoonist who brightened the pages of Punch magazine with his sketches of people in the public eye, from 0 Connell to Disraeli and Palmerston and many other famous characters. He never descended to coarseness or vulgarity unlike many of his contemporaries.

During the Famine, many Doyles emigrated to America. Earlier, the family of John Thomas Doyle (1819-1906) had fled there after the rising of 1798. He was a lawyer who at one time was the general agent for the American Atlantic and Pacific Canal Company in Nicaragua (which failed to build the canal). He lived in California where he began to discover many facts regarding the possessions of the Roman Catholic missions during the Spanish occupancy. In fact the "Pious Fund", which he founded, recovered some of the money confiscated from the Church.

John doyle b1797-d1868 His son, Richard Doyle (1824-83), was taught by his father and at 19 he, too, was contributing to the newly-established humorous magazine, Punch. In fact it was Richard who designed its first, and famous, cover, which included among the images surrounding Mr Punch, his own dog, Toby. When Punch indulged in vicious cartooning of the Pope, Richard resigned. He illustrated many books by popular authors including Thackeray and Puskin. On his death he was described as a "singularly sweet and noble type of English gentleman". A prime example of Irish adaptability!

His eldest brother, Charles Altamont Doyle, was also an illustrator. He had a high-born Irish wife, Mary Foley, and ten children. Charles, who did not enjoy his exile in Edinburgh as a civil servant, escaped by painting flowers, animals and fairies. Victorian critics later described his work as among the most imaginative of the period. Alas, in middle age he disappeared into the confines of a Scottish lunatic asylum. Only in 1978, when his sketch book, accidentally discovered in 1955, was published, did research reveal Charles not to be insane but merely an epileptic who was also overfond of burgundy. The Last Great Conan Doyle Mystery, written by Michael Baker, is beautifully illustrated with Doyle's sketches.

Henry Edward Doyle (1827-92), a Dublin painter, studied in London and Rome. In 1869 he was elected director of the National Gallery of Ireland. He was a member of the Royal Hibernian Academy and exhibited there frequently.

128. James, of Ards: son of Lawrence; died in 1841; had two brothers - 1. John, 2. Lawrence.

129. Rev. John Dunn, of Ards: son of James; living in 1847.

130. Terence Dunn: his son.

Charles was the father of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), the Edinburgh-born medical doctor who gripped the reading public with his stories of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson and their cliffhanging adventures in crime detection. Sir Arthur, who kept very quiet about his eccentric father, was as prolific a writer as his forebears had been artists and cartoonists.

This Doyle family has been described as the only one to have given, in the space of three generations, five separate entries to the Dictionary of National Biography, and that does not include the hapless Charles

Jack Doyle (1913-78), the "Gorgeous Gael", was born in Cobh, Co.Cork, 31st August 1903. He became a 6'5" giant with remarkable good looks. He left home to enlist in the Irish Guards. Spotting his potential, Dan Sullivan bought him out and trained him as a heavyweight boxer. In a checkered career lasting from 1932 to 1942, he won his first 10 professional bouts all inside two rounds, making him a sensation with the boxing world. He then lost the British heavyweight crown by disquailfication to Jack Pedtersen in July 1933. His celebrity status, movie career and singing were then put ahead of his boxing, and his tally of 23 pro fights included 17 wins (13 by a clear knockout, 3 inside the distance), and 6 losses (2 by disqualification). He had style, good looks and he could also sing. Women adored Jack Doyle and followed him everywhere. He went into cabaret, did some wrestling, made form and married Monica, a film star. He was a charming playboy, until the champagne dried up when he went bankrupt and died in London.

During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Biblical statement that God shall enlarge Japheth (Genesis 9:27) was used by some imperialists as a justification for the "enlargement" of European territories through Imperialism, interpreted as part of God's plan for the world

This chief-tain of the tain of eire does decree in the commemoration of the ui fhailghe royal lines of heber fionn heremon and mac uais that to this gaelic line we have our ancient glory our righteous story and I leave for you in perpetuity the following divisions of the talamh of eireann

To the feminine female line those who know they are the superior ones that if you draw a straight line from the centre of the universe and you are able to cross the edge of the milky way and attach this straight line cord to the planet venus or the earths satellite moon that all the area right and left of this line is yours to inform us all about from the beginning of creation to the now moment and as you are able and fine multifaceted multitaskers that this will be no problem for you to perform and be the bann rioghanacht of this realm and inform us all of the tree of knowledge that dwells there because you know it all

To the masculine male line those who know they know very little the inferior ones that if you draw a straight line from the centre of the galaxy to the planets mars of mercury but anchored in the centre of the sun that all this territory will be yours to rule royally till the end of time and as you are able and capable single task operators that this will be no problem for you to perform and be ard ri of the milky way inner circle realm and inform us all of the tree of life that dwells there because you know so little

But if someone in ui fhaighle should arise or should someperson be raised up who knows both realms the superior realm of the tree of knowledge and the inferior realm of the tree of life in equal measure then to them is their dwelling place the long galactic arm of the milky way where the solar system abides the sun the moon the planets and the stars and that this arm the middle kingdom will be a pathway between the two realms from the centre of the galaxy to the solar system and from the solar system to the edge of the milky way galaxy and from the edge of the milky way all the way to the centre of the universe all one straight line 13.5 billion light years long thus does the chief-tain of the gaelic tain tradition declare the divisions have been traced and at the solar system a line drawn at right angles to this traced line is the division between the feminine realm of the tree of knowledge and the masculine realm of the tree of life these are the tri noid a gloir superior inferior and middle kingdoms of mother eire divisons mullach abu go keir because you are all worth it and more importantly to commemorate the ui fhailghe line of the heber kings the heremonian kings and the mac uias kings of the chief-tain tradition of eire og golden olden age so be it now and for ever till judgement day

His grandson, Aenghus MacNadfraich, who is said to have been the first Christian king of Munster, was slain in the year 489.

His feast day is March 5. The saint is mainly known as a disciple and successor of Ciaran of Saighir (the Elder) and the tutor and fosterer of his greater namesake, Saint Carthage of Lismore (also known as Saint Mochuda).[1] Carthage was of the Eganacht Chaisil and son, or, more probably, grandson of engus mac Nad Froch whom Saint Patrick baptized. He was punished by St. Ciaran the Elder with penance for a sin of the flesh committed in his younger days. On completion of his canonical penance Carthage was reinstated as a member of the religious brotherhood of Saighir. Afterwards he founded the monastery of Druim Fertain and another monastery in the upper island of Lough Sheelin, County Meath.

In the barony of Clanmaurice is a townland called Monument on which are some scant remains of an ancient church called Cill Cartaig (Carthage's Church).

There is a short paragraph about St. Cartha in The Martyrology of Donegal: a Calendar of the Saints of Ireland (1864) by James Michael O'Clery, page 65:

Carthach,loving Bishop, alumnus of Ciaran of Saighir. One of his places was Druim-fertain, and in Cairbre Ua Ciardha is Druim-fertain; and to him belongs Inish Uachtair in Loch Sileann, and Cill Charthaigh in Tir Boghaine in Cinel Conaill. He was son of Aenghus, son of Nadfraech king of Munster, &c.

Deisi Dal cais In the fifth century, Aenghus Mac Nadfaeich, king of Munster, granted them the plain of Magh Feimhin, in the present county of Tipperary; 169. Dissi, that is d-oissi 'unresting ones', since for long spaces of time they had no resting-place, but were wandering from one stead into another. Or Dissi, that is, duaisi 'gifts', for after they left Mag Breg land was given to them as a woman's dowry, that is, as the bride-price of Ethne the Horrible, daughter of Crimthann, son of Ende Cennselach, who was their fosterling, for 'tis the Dissi that reared her. Oengus, son of Natfraich, king of Munster, 'tis he that gave the Dissi, as the bride-price of Ethne the Horrible, the land on which they are now settled. 170. Ethne Uathach 'horrible', why so called? Easy to say. When the Dissi took the girl to rear her they used to give her the flesh of children (to eat) so that she might the more rapidly grow up (and be married). For it had been determined that they would get land and a settlement as her bride-price. Or, again, she used to cut off the ends of the little-fingers of her own children so that they might be the longer-lived: for at first no children were left to her, (but all died prematurely). For that cause the children felt a great horror for her. Wherefore she is called Ethne the Horrible.
