  • 1 | Page James Crowe of Ennis and Dublin, Attorney
    James Crowe of Ennis and Dublin, attorney – a ‘forgotten branch’i Philip Croweii The early history of the McEnchroe clan (Clann Meic Conchradha)iii of Thomondiv, and the genealogy of a prominent lineage of that clan in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, have been addressed in an earlier article.1 That branch of the Crowe gentry was descended from Robert Crowe (c.1710-c.1775), a successful Ennis merchant. He and his descendents were greatly involved in the civic and political affairs of the county up to the late 1800s. However this paper deals with another branch, James Crowe and his descendants. Research into the life and lineage of James Crowe (c. 1712-1774) of Clare and Dublin uncovered two abstracts of his will. The The Crowe Gentry of County Clare version in the Registry of Deeds, Dublin, is more detailed giving the names of his wife and sons, a summary of assets and the names of witnesses.2 Betham’s Abstracts3 has a much briefer account although it includes a notation, ‘brother of Robert C’.4 This reference turned out to be a vital clue in establishing that James Crowe and the above mentioned Robert were siblings and that James i This is a revised version of an article in The Other Clare, Vol.41, 2017, pp.41-46. ii I wish to thank Rob Alexander, Gerry McMahon and Patricia Wiggins for their expert and diligent searching in libraries and archives; to Peter Beirne for his on-going advice; and to Hugh Weir for providing detailed information about Dromconora.

    Topography of Killaloe Parishes Reverend Philip Dwyer, A.B., • Bindon Street, Ennis, March 23, 1878 The parishes are taken in the order in which they stand under the several rural deaneries, as set forth in the Regal Visitation of 1622, and the particulars to which attention is directed appear in the following order throughout, viz. : — 1°. The name or names of the parish. 2°. The meaning or etymology of the name, as given by some competent authority in Irish literature. 3°. The size, with the actual and relative situation of the parish in each case. 4°. The ecclesiastical and other principal ancient remains and documents ; also brief notes of men of mark, old families, natural curiosities, or any historical incidents of importance connected with the parish ; also the inscriptions on old church plate. I. The Rural Deanery O’Mullod. This is the same as the territory or cantred of O'Mullod, so called from “M‘Blod, the son of Cas.” KILLALOE PARISH. The name is usually interpreted as Kill-da-lua,orKill-O’Mollua, from a famous saint of the 6th century, who is believed to have fllourished here. (Lanigan, quoted at Clonfert-Mollua, infra.) The parish is situated on the western side of the Shannon, in size 13,045 acres ; and is bounded on the north by the parish of Ogonello and Kilno ; on the west by that of Killokennedy ; on the south by Kiltenanlea ; and on the east by the Shannon, which separates it from the county of Tipperary. The ecclesiastical remains are the cathedral, and the stone-roofed oratory, or duirthrach,tothe north of it, which is not unlike Saint ColumKille’s house at Kells, or Kevin’s kitchen at Glendalough.

  • Survey of the Mcinerney Sept of Thomond (Download PDF)
    SURVEY OF THE McINERNEY SEPT OF THOMOND Luke McInerney, M.A. This survey gives an historical account of the McInerney sept of Clann Chuiléin, the eastern division of County Clare. The survey investigates the genealogical origins of the McInerneys in twelfth century Thomond as an offshoot of the ruling McNamaras. The origins of the McInerneys as an airchinneach family of east Clare is explored and the survey looks at the history of the sept up to the confiscation of the sept’s lands in the mid-seventeenth century and their scattering into Limerick and Tipperary during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The survey attempts to give an overview of the McInerney family of Thomond and to redress the silence in many histories of County Clare about the family and its origins. It is a curious tenet of history that the McInerneys were almost totally dispossessed of their ancient lands, so it is not surprising that they escaped the historian’s pen. I intend for this survey to shed light on their history both before and after the collapse of the Gaelic order. Research indicates that the McInerneys – Clann an Oirchinnigh – of Thomond have been associated with their powerful overlords, the McNamaras (Mac Con Mara), since the twelfth century. It was from the main dynastic branch of the McNamaras that the progenitor of the McInerney sept, Donnchadha Mac Con Mara, originated. As a junior sept – or sliocht – the McInerneys retained an important position at the local level within the McNamara polity of Clann Chuiléin and their role as minor gentry found them scribed alongside the powerful Dromoland O’Briens in land and rental documents beyond the collapse of the Gaelic order into the eighteenth century.
