Civil Survey Notes - Burgess

 

Burgess

In the Civil Survey of 1654-56 we find

Loghlen O Hogan of Gortnaskehy gt

Bryen O Bryen of Curraghmore Gent

Dermot O Bryen of Gortmore Gent

There are a couple of interesting possible links to the Hearth Money Roll records here.

In the 1665 HMR we have a Bryen Bryen. He could be the Byren O’ Bryen of Curraghmore mentioned in the Civil Survey.

Even more intriguingly to me is Loghlin O Hogan. In the 1666-67 HMR there is a Daniell McLoghlin. I have updated his modern surname as McLoughlin.

McLoughlin is often associated with the North and West of Ireland but it is still a name prominent in the area today. Could some of these McLoughlins actually be descendants from the Hogans?

For more on land ownership in the townland see this post.

However we find that there are still O’Briens living in the area in the 1911 census and Hogans up to the 1840s. The McLoughlin name doesn’t carry down so the Loghlin Hogan / McLoghlin may only be a coincidence.
