Created by Derek Ryan In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665  The following names were recorded in Doonane & Toorataggart townlands (Dunane / Torotarkett & Downane). Richard Day Donnogh Oge M'Laghlen Mighane Cormack Donnllane Wm. Ryane Edmond McTeige Daniell Keallaghan Connor Ryane There was also a return for 1666-67. Richard Day Mloghlin Mehan Cormack O'Donolan Art Rian William McConnor Donogh Oge Conor Rian John Ryan Teige Rian Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most important landowner. At least that is my impression. So we have Richard Day and I’d say he is likely to be an English settler to the area. The two lists are similar with a number common to both. They seem to be mainly Gaelic in origin with Meehan, Donnellan, Ryan & O’Callaghan.  There is a Donogh Oge who is likely to be a son of someone in the townland / area and also some Mc surnames, likely to be descendants of someone else rather than surnames in the...

  Created by Derek Ryan In the Hearth Money Rolls 1666-7 The following names were recorded in Carrowkeale townland (Carrowkeale) Mahoon McTeige Dermott Hickey Magoon Oge Hugh McDonnogh Daniell Hickey John Iron Daniell Ryan Morogh Flurtye   There was no return for 1665. Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most important landowner. At least that is my impression. So in this case we have Mahoon McTeige. I’m not sure of his surname but it is likely he is a descendant of someone else rather than a surname in its own right eg Mahoon McTeige might actually be Mathew son of Teige Ryan. Now interestingly enough in the Civil Survey of 1654-56 one of the owners of Carrowkeale was Teige Ryan of Cully. This seems to have been a predominantly Gaelic townland with Hickey, McDonagh ...

  Created by Derek Ryan In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665 The following names were recorded in Tullow townland (Hills / Towloe). One of the locations in the Hearth Money Rolls is simply recorded as “Hills” however, from the duplicate names that are common to this location and Towloe, then I’m pretty much certain they are the same area which corresponds to Tullow.

  Created by Derek Ryan In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665 The following names were recorded in Gortshane townland (Gortgane). Garrett Barry John McDermtt   There was no return for 1666-67. Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most important landowner. At least that is my impression. So in this case we have Garrett Barry. I’m not sure of his origin. Barry you would think is an Anglo-Norman name and their were Barrys buried in Abington in medieval times. McDermtt could be the surname McDermott which would be very rare in this rare or more likely to be descendants of someone else rather than surnames in their own right eg John McDermott might actually be John son of Dermott Ryan.   There is the 1766 census available for the general area but unless someone has a very distinct surname it is nearly impossible to make any kind of connection. https://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/tipperary/census/1766-r...
