President of the Society .. • 1948 THE first number. of out ·!ourna~ has wo~ deserved praise from those who are entitled to 1udge 1t. With confidence, therefore, we proceed to give some account of our second year's work. He would be a poor Irishman who is not interested in the story of the land from which he sprang. His ancestors may have been Firbolgs or Celts, Normans or Scotch, but it is only. natural that the love of the land .that bore him should tug at his heart-strings. Many of the old ruins that speak of fight or foray, of culture or religion, are crumbling .and their story- is fading from the minds of our contemporaries. It is our duty and our privilege to gather with pious care what knowledge remains an~ hand it on.to the unborn generations. Our outings this year have been really fortunate; they have met with good weather and they h'ave been well patronised. Interest has been stimulated among our well-wishers and we can ·expect henceforth their fuller co-operation. If our meetings had no other purpose than to bring together people of different outlook and diverse background, that p~tpose has been well served. My path as President for 1948 has been smoothed by the example of my far more worthy predecessor, Mr. Andrew Lowry, and more especially by the loyal co-operati~m of all my colleagues. No praise would be adequate for the work done by our noble Secretary and Editor, to whom my best thanks are due for having made my year of office a sinecure. THOMAS MOLLOY. 18/12/'48. 85

One of the family may have lived at Glenvar in Fanad exactly like the ·O'Dogherty at IRasheny. The James is; however, anachronistic. 3rd. tMarmaducus. This may be a Mael-name like Maeleachlainn, or possibly Muircheartach. He married Catherine, daughter of John Mac Donagh of Altanar, in Clounty Derry. Whether these Donaghys are O o-r Mac is to me a question.x I ifl~d seven O'Donaghys in the Poll Tax of 1659, in the barony of Tirkeeran· and eight Mac Donaghys in the· baron'y of Ciannaeht, but in the Hearth Tax of a few years later thE>Y are all calledO'iDonaghy. BishopMachael Mac Donagh, o.P., of Kilmore, died 1746, was of this stock. They are mostly to be found in the Fothair Glen and Muff Alen districts. I find George Mac Donagh, farmer, Altinure, registered in 1796 (Thur Courts Mss.). · 4th. Patrick O'Hegarty marri~d Grisella, daughter of Manus O'Quigliey of Kilderry. This is the traditional home of the O'Coigligh family. .Jt is situated in the Muff or Iskaheen district of Inis Eoghain. Kilderry was occupied by the Harts in the 17th century and has only lately passed from them to Dr. Killen. The dCoiglighs are numerous in thB pardons of 1602 (the printed version made the constant mistake of calling them O'Coghie, which was long a puzzle to me). Passing over these and the Hearth Tax Polls I shall content myself with an extract from a letter written by Father James Coigly of lArdrea, who was executed at Maidstone in 1798. 'Tt was my great-grandfather, Colgley, who invented and constructed the famous boom at Fort Culmore, for the blockade of Derry. He, with thre'3 of his brothers, were afterwards killed at Killcommodan. commonly called the Battle of Aughrim." Boomhall is situated between Kilderry and Btookhall. 5th. J·ohn O"Hegarty married Anna, daughter of Doulachus Mac Cullin of Brich. This [ take to be Bree, near Malin Head. The Christian name, Doulach, is rare, and is that of a saint who gives his name to a church near xThere were several d!istinot faffiiiies named Mac Dona.gh in Ireland and ea.eh had a diifferf'nt roat of amns.

Mac Culivin is not found locally but an O Culivin family is descended from iDallan, son of ft>ghan. Ballyhillion and the most northly hamlet in Ireland is, probably, named after them. 6th. Niall O'Hegarty married Catherine, daughte:r of Colonei .John Diry of the City of Derry. This is an unfortunate slip and shows that the Pedigree, as we have it, was drawn up for foreign appreciation. The O'Doireidh family were of Airchinneach stock or Herenachs, not merely in Derry but also in Domhnach Mor. ('.Donoghmore___,.Four Masters A.D. 1064). The importance of these officials or dignitaries would be recognised at home, but not abroad, -and as the O'Hegartys had joined the military caste, in exile, it would be tempting to change a.n unknown church title to a recognised military rank. The union with the O'Doireidhs supplies a clue as to how the O'Hegartys came to Templemore or \Derry parish. The following are the lands belonging to the ancient Columban foundation which were granted by. James I to Captain Ralph Btngley:- "Donegal Co., the site of the late abbey of Collumkill or religious house ·of canons of the Derrie with 8 quarters of land of all sorts viz., Gortneshalgy, 'Ballienegart, Carronowe, .Lariske, Sappoke, Dromheirt, Gortcarmacan, and Derrivahan; and also 5 quarters late in the tenure of O'Derri~ . ·v.iz., Moylenamy (MeUenan), Keileigh, Crivagh, Termonbackagh and Carrownesraide to the said abbey belonging." (Patent 1Rolls). I have underlined Dromheirt above, because in some lists it is written Drumhegarty, e.g., in the Confirmation ·Of Chichester's Grant (vlr\e Young Old Belfast, p. 135). The usual form ls Drumhaggart, i.e., the Priests' Ridge. John O'IDonoY.an makes the mistake of confounding the O'Derrys witl,\'the O'Deerys (O'Doighre). They are quite distinct. 7th. Edmond O'Hegarty married Eleanor, daughter of Captain Roger Mc·Bride of Kilmore in County Derry. I ean find no Kilmore in Co. Derry, but there is a Kallmo-re in Cill Cronaghan. The Mac Giolla Brighde family are usually associated with Raphoe, but we ,find them later as Deansof Derry. 8th. John l()l'Hegarty, born circa 1222, married Maria, daughter of Terence o IDuvin of MonterlCJ1ny, Co. Tyrone. 90
