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?

Hag Stones, are they an example of authentic Irish folklore or a neo-pagan import?

By Darkone CC BY-SA 2.0 The first time I ever heard of Hag-stones was this year. They are more commonly known as Adder stones and described on wikipedia as follows: " An adder stone is a type of stone, usually glassy, with a naturally occurring hole through it. Such stones have been discovered by archaeologists in both Britain and Egypt ."  In Britain they are also called hag stones , [1] witch stones , serpent's eggs , snake's eggs , or Glain Neidr in Wales , milpreve in Cornwall , adderstanes in the south of Scotland and Gloine nan Druidh ("Druids' glass" in Scottish Gaelic ) in the north. In Germany they are called Hühnergötter ("chicken gods"). In Egypt they are called aggry or aggri . Adder stones were believed to have magical powers such as protection against eye diseases or evil charms, preventing nightmares , curing whooping cough , the ability to see through fairy or witch disguises and traps if looked at ...

The Origins of the surname Ryan

NOTE: This is currently a work in progress and I ask for any feedback on what I have written. Ryan is one of the top ten surnames by population / number of people in Ireland. It would be nice if there was a simple explanation as to the meaning of the surname Ryan, unfortunately to my knowledge there isn't. The most likely explanation is that it goes back to a King or Chief of Idrone circa 900AD named Rian or Rien. It was around this time that the Irish began taking on surnames and it may be that it was after him his descendants began to be called, O or descendent of Rian. We are not sure how or when exactly the O'Mulryan name came about. It is likely that it means "descendent of the followers of Rian". However, this is not certain. We will see further down in this article that the genealogies suggest they are both descended from the same ancestor circa 900AD. Although other evidence does contradict this. Just what Rian means is not known for sure. Explana...
