Tullow
The townland of Tullow forms part of the modern town of
Newport. In the various records it goes by many different versions of the same
name.
In the Civil Survey (CS) for Tullagh & Purtanenacasky
there are three people recorded.
John Ryan of Craig Esqr.
Teige Ryan of Tullagh Gent.
Hugh Ryan of Tullagh Gent.
Intriguingly in 1659 in Simingtons Transplantation to
Connacht pg 35 - Ryan, Teige possibly McOwnhy;
of Tully in Tipperary is recorded as being due to receive 340 Acres in the
parish of Kilkeedy in the Barony of Inchiquin in West Clare.
As the location “Tully” in the Transplantation Decree is uncertain
but Tullagh / Tullow seems like a fairly reasonable assumption.
What further strengthens the argument is that in the Hearth
Money Rolls for 1665 a Teige Ryan is listed in the return.
Again we can’t be certain but it is definitely interesting, is it the same person or a descendant? We still have Ryans in this townland in the 1911 census. Although it is unlikely at this remove to be able to link back to Teige McOwnhy Ryan (Gent) from 1640. Any descendants would definitely be interesting to DNA test.
