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

A number of people are common to both lists

John Godfrey, John Lee, John Moloney, John & Dermot Durrick, Teige Teifey, Conor Hogan, Morrough Moloney, Patrick Gillman / Gillam, Rory Minogue.

I think that John Godfrey and John Lee would have been English settlers in the area. Similarly, Thomas Woodmansey, Bernaby Rawlins and possibly Patrick Gillman / Gillam.

Although there is a large number of possible newcomers, there are also a long list of Gaelic surnames that remain in the townland, Moloney, Hayes, Durick, Teifey, Hogan, Minogue, O’Sullivan, Ryan, Roghan and likely McHugh as well.

The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1824 – unusually there are 209 entries in Kilmastulla for this.

Names that carry through from the Hearth Money Rolls are Hogan, Ryan, Moloney and interestingly from a rarity point of view Teifey (Tecfy) and Roughan (Roghane, Rojan).

In the later Griffiths valuation – there are only 26 entries. It is hard to believe a drop from 209 to 26 in this period. Unless it was taken after the famine in this townland? However, I’d fairly sure Griffiths was pre famine.

Of the surnames only Hogan and Ryan hold through.

It is only Ryan that has carried on from the Hearth Money Rolls, could some of these Ryans be descended from Teige Ryan?
