Civil Survey Notes - Turraheen (Upper / Lower)

Turraheen Upper

The Civil Survey records the following owners in Torryhine.

John Dwyer of Torryhine

Thomas Dwyer of Ballyvilode

John Ryan of Torryhine

Daniell Ryan of Torryhyn

Theig Ryan of the same

Conor Ryan of ye same.

Simington’s Transplantation records show a Conor McMahon Ryan being scheduled for transplantation from Turehine to Kilraghtis (Upr.) in the Barony of Bunratty to receive 50 acres.

There is also a Laughlin (Melaghin) McConnor Ryan listed in Turerhine and also to receive land in the same place.

These are probably the Conor Ryan and Mlaighlen Ryan in the Civil Survey. Could Laughlin be the son of Conor (aka McConnor)?

In Penders Census for 1659 we don’t see either of these two in Kilraghtis – at least not as Tituladoes.

There is a Conor Ryan listed in Ballygerrane in Killaloe Barony in Clare.

The HMR (1666-67) records the following as being in Tureheen

James Toby

Mullinory Duly

Darby Rehell

David Blanchfelld

Toby Butler

There don’t seem to be any Ryans? However are the “Rehens” actually Ryans and is Cornelins Rehan actually Conor Ryan aka Conor McMahon Ryan? Perhaps he never went to Co. Clare?

In the Griffiths Valuation for Turraheen Upper and Lower there are a large number of Ryans including a Cornelius Ryan.
