Civil Survey Notes - Ballingeer

Ballingeer

In the Civil Survey the following are recorded

Rory Hogan of Ballingeare gt.

John O Hogan of the same gt.

Mortagh O Hogan of the same gt.

Hugh O Hogan of the same gt.

We can then check these names / townland against the Hearth Money Rolls and also the transplantation decrees.

There is one very interesting decree in Simington’s Transplation to Connacht. It states that Joane, widow of Murtagh oge, and Philip Hogan, son and heir of said Murtagh. She is to transplanted to Galway, namely Leitrim Barony & the Parish of Ballynakill.

So from this we can put together a speculative tree

Mortogh Hogan m Joane ?

Son Philip Hogan.

It is likely that some of the other Hogans in the townland are also related to each other. By the time of the Hearth Money Rolls there are two Hogans still living in Ballingeer. Namely a John & a Conor. John Hogan could be the John O’ Hogan mentioned in the Civil Survey. As a note there is a Teige McMorrogh noted in the Hearth Money Rolls in Ballihilareagh and this is unidentified but may be very close to this townland. Could he be a son of Mortogh Hogan?

Did the Hogan’s go to Connacht? There a small number of Hogans in Ballynakill in the Griffiths Valuation but as parts of this are only on the other side of Lough Derg I would suggest this is inconclusive. There is no Hogan there with a larger than normal amount of land.

We look at the subsequent records from the Hearth Money Rolls on here.

To briefly summarise these, the surname Hogan does carry on in the townland but the records just aren’t there to link them back to the 1600s records.
