Hearth Money Rolls - Carrigmadden

 

In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
The following names were recorded in Carrigmadden townland (Carrigmudin / Carrigmudeene).

Donnogh Hogane

Terlagh Bryen

James   Moylane

Wm       McJohn

In the 1666-1667 add-in / additional report the following are recorded.

James   Moylane

Downe Hogane

Patrick  White

William McShane

Teige     Hogane

John      Oge

William Stephens

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

Donnogh Hogan is first in 1665 and I presume that is him listed as Downe Hogane in 1666-67. James Moylan is listed first in 1667-67 and 3rd in 1665. In 1665 we have Wm McJohn and I think this may be William McShane in 1666-67. Shane / Shaun can be interchangeable with Séan / John.

So based on these names some of the more important landowners are Gaelic. We also have an O’Brien and Oge or Younger of maybe another surname in the area. Two surnames that it is uncertain of the origin are White (we have wondered before whether it could refer to Bán) and Stephens. Stephens could be a name of English origin (along with his first name) but he is listed last in the list and so doesn’t appear to be of high status.

Interestingly this is the only example of the surname Moylan in the half-barony. However there is a townland called Ballymoylin to the north-west of Carrigmadden. When I was looking for an explanation of the meaning of the surname, one suggestion was that it was related to the surname Moylan. Could James Moylan be connected to the family who Ballymoylin was called after?   

The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1824 –

We do have Hogan in these but with the frequency of the surname in the half-barony it is not conclusive.

In the later Griffiths valuation (see picture)

Hogan continues but no other surnames reappear.

In 1901 we have the following

Hogan has dropped off.

In 1911 we have the following

All the Hearth Money roll names have dropped off.
