Hearth Money Rolls - Coolnadornory

Created by Derek Ryan

In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
The following names were recorded in Coolnadororny (Cooldornory) townland

John McDonnogh

Daniell McLoughlen

Daniell Hogane

James McKeogh

Donnogh McCormuck

There doesn’t seem to be a 1666-7 addon / additional return.

Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most important landowner. At least that is my impression so far.

This townland seems to be predominately Gaelic surnames. We have McDonagh, McLoughlin, Hogan, McKeogh & McCormack / Cormican.

The four Mcs here are more than likely to be regular surnames rather than sons or descendants of someone else in the townland.

The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1826. Surprisingly given the Gaelic nature of the Hearth surnames here, none carry through.

In the later Griffiths valuation there is a large number of names recorded between Beg & More.

In the the Griffiths valuation (pictured) none of the Hearth Money Roll names reappear.

Similarly in 1901 (Keogh does reappear but is listed as a servant).

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...
