FromLaois to Kerry (fromO'Mahony's web site) by MichaelCh.istopher Keane ( http://www.omahonvs.ie/v2lfrom-laois-to-kerrv-o482696html ) Formany c€nturies before its plantationby the Englishand renaming as Queens'County, Laois was under the controlot the SevenSepts (Clans), the O'Moores, o'Kellys, O'Lawlors, O'Dowlings' O'Dorans, O'Devoys or O'Deevysor O'Deesand McEvoys. Following many bloody battles the surviving Septs were transplanted to Kerry,being under senlence of deathif returningto Laois,The land in Kerrywas available for transplantation followingthe unspeakablehorrors ofthe ethniccleansing of l\4unsterduring the Elizabethen-Desmond war. The Septswere established in Kerryas tenant farmers undertheir landlord, Pakick Crosbie. These dramatic events arereviewed in PartI aswell as a detailedtracing oI thecontinuing strong presence ofthe LaoisSept descendantsin Kerrythrough the centuries down to the presentday. ln Partll, the remarkablelives of Patrick crosbieand his son sir Piercecrosbie are discussed in detail.Patrick crosbie was a leadingfigure in lrish historyduring the plantation period, posing as an Englishimposterwhile in realitybeing a Maccrossan,bards to the OTvlooreaof Laois.Sir Pierce Crosbie, subsequent landlord to the Septsin Kerry'along with leading regimentsin variouswars, was both cupholder and Gentleman ol theKings' Bedchamber of successiveKings, J;es I andcharles L He losthis estates and was jailed due to hisimplacable opposition to the lrishLofd DeputyWentworlh, only to regainthem when Wentworth was executed for treason He was also closely asiociatedwith what is arguabtythe most notorious sex scandal in Britishhistory in whichhis stepson the Earlof Caslehavenwas executea for sexual depravity.

Of considerableinterest is the list ofsevensept menwho weretransplanted from Co Laoisto Co Kerry. Thereare some surpriseshere. Apparentlynot all ooKelly"men went by thesurname Kelfy. Thesame is true for the othersepts. DNA may eventuallysort out whether our particularlines descend from the Laoisbunch or from those transplantedto Kerry. In addition to what ProfessorKeane shared with us, I haveincluded a coupleof other articlesand maps.As I said someof you will find all this interestingwhile othersnot so much.
