Civil Survey Notes - Turraheen (Upper / Lower)

 

From - The Civil Survey A.D. 1654–56 vol. ii, county of Tipperary western and northern baronies - Irish Manuscripts - available to download here


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.

Mahoune Ryan of the same

MIaighlen Ryan of the same

John mcWm. Dwyer of Cappaghmore

John Dwyer of Gortneskehy

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.

There also seems to be a mention of a McLaughlin Conor being scheduled to go to Annagh in Costello Barony in Mayo. 

In the Griffiths Valuation for this parish there is one Ryan listed in Gorteen townland.

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

James Toby

Mullinory Duly

Darby Rehell

David Blanchfelld

Toby Butler

Patrick White

James Tobin

Charles Rehen

Cornelins Rehen

Collo McSweeny

Charles O'Heeren

three howses wast

Anthony Dwier

Derby Dwier

Cornelius Dwier

Donogh Rehen

Teige Rehen

Rory Rehen

John McInelly

Donnogh Kenedy

two howses wast

Robert Stakes

Daniell Rehen

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. 








From https://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/


Ryans continue in this townland into the 1901 and 1911 census. (Including a Cornelius)

1901

1911

https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Clogher/Turraheen_Lower/

 

Did the name Conor or Cornelius carry on through the Ryans in this townland / area from the 1600s?

Hag Stones, are they an example of authentic Irish folklore or a neo-pagan import?

By Darkone CC BY-SA 2.0 The first time I ever heard of Hag-stones was this year. They are more commonly known as Adder stones and described on wikipedia as follows: " An adder stone is a type of stone, usually glassy, with a naturally occurring hole through it. Such stones have been discovered by archaeologists in both Britain and Egypt ."  In Britain they are also called hag stones , [1] witch stones , serpent's eggs , snake's eggs , or Glain Neidr in Wales , milpreve in Cornwall , adderstanes in the south of Scotland and Gloine nan Druidh ("Druids' glass" in Scottish Gaelic ) in the north. In Germany they are called Hühnergötter ("chicken gods"). In Egypt they are called aggry or aggri . Adder stones were believed to have magical powers such as protection against eye diseases or evil charms, preventing nightmares , curing whooping cough , the ability to see through fairy or witch disguises and traps if looked at ...

The Origins of the surname Ryan

NOTE: This is currently a work in progress and I ask for any feedback on what I have written. Ryan is one of the top ten surnames by population / number of people in Ireland. It would be nice if there was a simple explanation as to the meaning of the surname Ryan, unfortunately to my knowledge there isn't. The most likely explanation is that it goes back to a King or Chief of Idrone circa 900AD named Rian or Rien. It was around this time that the Irish began taking on surnames and it may be that it was after him his descendants began to be called, O or descendent of Rian. We are not sure how or when exactly the O'Mulryan name came about. It is likely that it means "descendent of the followers of Rian". However, this is not certain. We will see further down in this article that the genealogies suggest they are both descended from the same ancestor circa 900AD. Although other evidence does contradict this. Just what Rian means is not known for sure. Explana...
