  • The County Clare Surname Culligan
    The County Clare surname, Culligan, also written as Quilligan Author: [email protected] The author is the voluntary administrator of a Colgan surname (including Culligan) male DNA project and would welcome the participation of males who bear the Culligan surname in the study; of course, the initiative for participating in the simple, and inexpensive DNA test may be taken by female relatives or Culligan families acting collectively to cover the testing fee by FamilyTreeDNA.com. Prefatory Note Is Culligan a version of Colgan? MacLysaght writes: “Quilligan, Ó Cuileagáin - This Thomond [regional] name is equally well known in its variant form, Culligan” [McLysaght, A Guide to Irish Surnames, 1994]. In Edward MacLysaght’s Supplement to Irish Families, 1994, he wrote: “Culligan, Quilligan – Both these variants of Ó Cuileagáin are Clare names and are mainly found in that county and.. Limerick city … A century ago Culligan was much more numerous that Quilligan but the numbers are now about equal. Woulfe regards the name as an attenuated form of O’Colgan (which is said, without evidence, to be more correctly MacColgan). This implies that the sept immigrated westwards from Offaly which is to some extent corroborated by a fiant of 1588 where one of that name living in King’s County obtained a pardon. An earlier fiant shows another O’Colligan among the many O’Connors whose location is not mentioned. They were, however, well established in West Clare in the 17th century .. as Cullegane is returned in Petty’s Census as a principal name in the barony of Clonderalaw, Ennis”. This, the author’s Colgan Chronology does not include the surname Quilligan within its ambit.

Nil File No. S.2607 FormB.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY ANDREW 0'DONORUE, Lickeen, Kilfenora, Co. Clara. (Formerly 0/C, 5th Battalion, Mid Clara Brigade.) I was born in January, 1897, in the townland of Lickeen in the parish of Kilfenora. My people were farmers. I received my education at Cahershertin national school which I attended until I was about fifteen years of age, having reached the sixth standard. Our house was one in which the neighbours used to gather at night to discuss the events of the day and talk about old times. Some very old men comprised the gatherings and, as a youth, I was very interested in their accounts of Daniel O'Connell and his times, the Fenians, the various evictions in different parts of the locality, Parnell and Michael Davitt, the Land League, the Plan of Campaign and the Moonlighters. About the activities of the Lickeen Moonlighters, their trial and sentence, these old men told all they knew, and it was from them that I learned that my own people Were prominently connected with the physical force side of the Land League movement. My Uncle Michael was, in fact, one of the leaders of the Moonlighters in the district. As a consequence of what I had been listening to in the course of these fireside talks, I concluded that, if Ireland could get rid of the landlords, the "peelers" and the informers, the.
