Civil Survey Notes - Youghalvillage

 

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


The following are recorded in the Civil Survey in this townland

Hugh Hogan of Youghill Gent

Thomas Hogan of Youghill Gent

Donogh O Hogan of Ardkelly

Teige O Bryen of Cahirconner Esqr

Teige O Hogan of Youghill Gent

Hugh roe O Hogan of Youghill Gent &

Morish mcDennish (Hogan) of Loghaneleagh

Teige O Bryen owns his share by purchase from Daniell Hogan & Morish O’Hogan. This ties in with the fact that the lands here are probably linked to the former monastery here where the O’Hogans where coarbs. They probably would have retained the lands following the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry the VIII in the 1530s / 1540s. Unusually maybe the monastery is not mentioned in the description of the lands.

Morish mcDennis of Loghaneleagh is listed and I would have theorised that he was an O’Hogan and this is confirmed in the text. Interestingly it is a tailor named Denis Hogan of Creggane that was recorded in the Ordnance Survey Letters in the 1840s by O’Donovan as being in possession of St. Conlan’s Crozier - Bachall Chunnlain. It was thought to have passed down through the Hogan family who were descended from the Coarbs of Youghal. There is a Loughaun townland bordering Creggane.

Looking at other records we find a Gabriel Hogan listed for transplantation from Youghal to Galway – Barony of Ballymoe and the parish of Clonbern. There are no Hogans listed in that townland in the Griffiths Valuation.

There is also an Edmund Hogan – Late of Youghal who is listed for transplantation to Killaloe Parish in Co. Clare only a few miles down the River Shannon.

In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665 we find a Gabriel Hogan living in Youghal. This must surely be the same person that was listed for transplantation. There is also a Teige Morrish who I think may have some relationship with Morish mcDennish (Hogan).

In the 1666/67 we again find Gabriel Hogan in the townland. There are two Teige Hogana, one who may be the Teige O’Hogan mentioned in the Civil Survey. There is also a John McMorrogh. Similar to above I wonder could he be linked to Morish mcDennish (Hogan)?

If so you may have a small potential family tree.

Father - Denis O’Hogan

Son Morish McDennish Hogan (Civil Survey)

Grandsons – John McMorrogh Hogan – Teige McMorrogh Hogan

 

There are also two O’Bryans listed in the Hearth Money Rolls and they may be linked to Teige O’Bryen of Cahirconners purchase of lands here.

Looking at the later records, although the Hogans seem to have survived being transplanted to Connacht, they don’t fare too well in the townland with no Hogans in the Griffiths Valuation. There are some O’Briens though, for more on this see the link.

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...

The Tara Prince, the Egyptian Princess and other alleged links between Ireland and Egypt in ancient times

I think most of us have heard the stories that originate in the Lebor Gabala Erenn linking Scota or Scotia with Ireland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scota It is a great story but the problem is when it used as fact. I few years back I first heard of the claim relating to the Tara Prince and the faience beads that are claimed to originate in Egypt. "The Tara Prince" aka Tara Boy An excavation of the Mound of the Hostages in 1955 by Sean O'Riordain uncovered a number of items within the mound (which turned out to be a passage tomb). One was a set of faience beads now on display in the National Museum of Ireland. They were associated with a skeleton that in pseudoarchaeology has been dubbed "The Tara Prince". Copyright National Museum of Ireland When I read about the claim linking him back to Egypt curiosity got to the better of me and I had to see if there was any basis in it. You can see where the claim arose in O'Riordain's paper ...
