Gortnaskehy
The following two are recorded in the Civil Survey
Bryen O Bryen of Curraghmore Gent
Loghlen O Hogane of Gortnaskehy Gent
We don’t find either of these specifically in any other
records. However in Simington’s “Transplantation to Connaught) there is a
Melaghlin Hogan of Gormaskehy listed for transplantation to Boyounagh Parish in
Ballymoe Barony in Galway. There were no Hogans recorded in this parish in the
Griffiths Valuation. (I think this is most likely Gortnaskehy in Arra although there
is also one in Owney).
I think that Melaghlin and Loghlen may be variants of the
same name, so this might be the person.
In the Hearth Money Rolls there is a Donnogh Hogane in the
same townland. We have no way of connecting any of these Hogans unfortunately
other than their surname.
The surname Hogan carries on in the townland with the
Griffiths Valuation but is no longer recorded in the 1901 / 1911 census.
