PREFACE.

THE preparation of the (( l\,f0Gillycuddy Papers'' for the press was undertaken by the Editor, at the request of the late l\'1cGiliycuddy, who unhappily did not live to see the completion of the work, ,vhich ,vas originally commenced with a view to their private rather than public circulation. The Manuscripts themselves ,vere of no very ancient date, but ,vere in a sad state of decay and confusion, from the effects of previous neglect. "\Vhen the ,vork of transcrip­ tion ,vas completed, a selection fro1n the entire collection seemed worthy of being p1,.inted, not merely as a volume of Fan1ily Papers-·such as are rarely to be found in Ireland, except among the O'Briens, Butlers, or Fitzgeralds­ but also as affording a valuable and entirely trust,vorthy illustration of the mode in which the estates of an Irish Chieftain ,vere in part preserved to his descendants, notwithstanding their confiscation under the reign of Elizabeth, and in despite of the Act of Settlen1ent and other legal dangers and difficul­ ties to which Irish properties ,vere exposed during subsequent reigns.

The McGillycuddy of Elizabeth's time ,vas an Irish Chieftain, owing allegi~ ance to his imn1ediate lord, the O'Sullivane ]\'1ore., and obeying the Brehon law under which he held his territory. He was bound to follow l}is Superior Chief into the field ,vith a certain contingent of 1ne11, and, like 111ost of the other chieftains of Kerry., ,"flas dra,vn into Yvhat is sometimes called the Desmond "rebellion.," but which, more properlJ speaking was a ,var undertaken by a powerful Irish Chieftain, less perhaps in support of the Roman Catholic religion than in defence of his great estates and the ancient privileges and rights of the Irish clans or septs. a2 • IY PREFACE.

In the Teign of James I., the McGillycuddy gave no trouble to the English Government. To Charles I., Charles II., and James II., the McGillycuddy of the period was undoubtedly loyal, but did not push his devotion to the. last- . named n;ionarch to such an extreme as to prevent his accepting the terms extended under the treaty of ~imerick, in 1691, to the Irish Roman Catholics of the County of Kerry. The McGillycuddies, accordingly, appear to have been loyal subjects of the English Cro-,vn for more than t,vo centuries and a. lialf, during a hundred years of which period the heads of the fa:mjly were Roman Catholics. At a time, like the present, when everything relating to the land settlement of Ireland is of interest to the statesman, it may not be wholly unprofitable to examine, by the light of original docu1nents, the process by which a remnant of the once princely inheritance of a loyal Irish Roman Catholic family was saved from legal destruction.

The thanks of the Editor are offered to John P. Prendergast, Esq., author of the '' Crom,vellian Settlement of Ireland," for the contributions from the Carte Collections, in the Bodleian Library at Oxford, ,vhich appear in the Introductory Men1oir. The Editor ,vishes also to thank Jan1es l\1orrin, Esq., of the Rolls Office, Dublin, and John Ribton Garstin, Esq., ir.R.I.A., for valuable assistance. For the pedigTee of the 1\f cGillycudcly family deduced from the earlier times to the end of the sixteenth century, the Editor is indebted to William nI. Hennessy, Esq., )LR.I.A., Editor of the ." Chronicon Scotorum." To the Rev. C. P. Meehan, M.R.I.A., thanks are offered for his assistance in deciphering some nearly illegible signatures of members of the Council of the Confederate Catholics.

INDEX . 205 INTRODUCTORY NIEThIOIR.

THE estates of the McGillycuddy sept, in Kerry, ,vere, no doubt, in ancient times of vast extent, and the forfeited or confiscated lands of Donald or Donogh McDermott O'Sullivan, otherwise called MeGillycuddy, who was killed ,vhilst :fighting under the Earl of Desmo;J.d against Elizabeth, comprised no incon­ siderable tract of country. This Donogh, or Donald, surnamed " Geraldagh," or the Geraldine, ,vas the son of Domhnal (Anglice Danjel), the thirty-fifth in descent, according to ancient Irish genealogies, from Oilill Olum, King of Munster, ,vho died A.D. 234. The territory of this Donald Geraldagh McGillycuddy, of Bodevismyne, killed in the Desmond ,vars, was granted by letters patent of Queen Elizabeth, dated 9th of June, 1595, to Edmond Barret, of Ferys, who by deed of bargain and sale, dated the day after the date of his own patent, conveyed them to "Edward Hussey, of Ballyngo-\vn." This Edward Hussey in a short time, namely, on the 19th of April, 1598 [ Anno

40° Eliz.], conveyed those lands to" Donogh Jv.[cDermuddy, alias McGillycuddy7 of Bodenesmeen." These lands, some of ,vhich have continued to the present day in the possession of the McGillycuddy family, are thus described in the deed last 1nentioned, viz.:-" The manors, town, and lands of Carrowlongford,, namely, Bodenesmen als ffarenegatt, Tynnescartie, Both ye Ards, Caharowbeg, Banecloen, Ardlaghes, Shanneries, Carrowloghert-Kylsullagh, viz. :-Listi­ conogher, Kapparush, Go,vlane, Bracahiragh, Cahirdonilyeragh, Moneflugh, Dirrilettircuosh, with all and singular," &c., &c. It is curious that several of these denominations are named in a list of lands held in tanistry by " Dermott, Bough, Daniel and Conor O'Sullivane, sons of Donell O'Sullivan-more, deceased," . and surrendered by them to James I., who on the 27 Sept., 1603, accepted • XVI, INTRODUCTORY MEMOIR. them by letters patent, in ord~r to regrant them to those parties. [Pat. Rot., .James I., l°, Part I, dorso lxxviii. 26]. In 1604, another grant, dated March 22, was made by his Majestie, to Lord Bourke, of "the castle and town of Bodevismine," and other lands, "parcel of the estate of Donogh McDermot O'S,vilevan, otherwise McGillycuddie of the same, dead in rebellion.'' [Pat. Rot., 2°, James I., part 2, xiv. 27]. Sir Charles Wilmot, in 1614, had also a patent, dated 10 December, for the lands of Donald the Geraldine [Infra, pp. 3 and 4], which he, on the following day, conveyed by _deed of feofment, bargain and sale, unto Maurice or "Morish Crosbie, of Clonemony." The territory forfeited by Donald McGillycuddy, and granted so often by letters patent to various parties, comprised t,venty or more denominations of land lying in the parishes of Knockane, Killorglin, and Kilcroghane, and in· the baronies of Dunkeron and I veragh. 11he individuals, to ,vhom these grants ,vere made, seem, ho-\vever, to have profitted little by them, for they appear to have been occupied continuously by n1embers of the McGillycuddy fa111ily, and to have paid no quit-rent to the Crown in those times. Conchobhar or Conor, the lineal ancestor of the present McGillycuddy, and said to have been the son of Donald or Dorrough McGillycuddy, the Geraldine, . is variously styled "Cnogher MeGillycuddy, of Castlecurrig," or "Cornelius O'Sullivane, alias McGillycuddy, of Castlecurrig." There is a docun1ent in the State Paper Office, dated 12 FebY., 1596, enclosing "a note of such as are Lords of Cuntries, being Finnin Mac Cartis kinsmen, and follovvers of the Earls of Clancarte w'thin Desmond," &c. In this paper the name " Mae Gillo Cuddie," stands sixth on the list, being preceded by the names of Finnin's two cousins, and by those of the '' O'Sullevan Moar," the '' O'Sullevan Bear," and the '' O'Donnaogh-Glan.'' Conor McGillycuddie held the lands which were granted, as before noticed, to Barret, Bourke, and Wilmot, "as his owne and ancient inheritance." His rights of possession ,vere not interfered -with by Wilmot's assignee, Morish or Maurice Crosbie, of Clonmony, who conveyed all his interest in those lands by a formal deed, dated 2 7 Sept., 1618, to " Connor McGillycuddie, of ffarrynnygat, in consideration of £200, paid him by said Connor." This Maurice Crosbie or Cosby, was a near relative (most probably a brother) of Patrick Crosbie, ,vho for his services to Queen Elizabeth, in Leinster and Munster, received from Her Majesty various grants, including • • INTRODUCTORY MElV[OIR. XVII some of the lands in Kerry, which had formerly been passed in patent to Edmund _Barret. These Crosbies "'\Yere originally "McCrossans," and were kinsmen of the O'Mores of Leix, of whose "ren1oval into Kerry," during Elizabeth's reign, there are notices in the State Paper Office. The name MeCrossan ,vas anglicised into Crosbie, in pursuance of a custom commonly adopted by the adherents of the English power in those days. Patrick had a younger brother, named John, who became bishop of Ardfert and Aghadoe in 1600. He was recommended for this see to Queen Elizabeth, by James, Earl of Desmond, the son of Her Majesty's gteat foe. The Queen's letter, appointing Crosbie to the bishoprick, is dated "1nanor of Oatland, Oct. 2, 1600.'' [Morrin's Patent Rolls, vol. I., p. 560]. In this letter John Crosbie is described as "a graduate in schools of English race (!), and skilled in the English tongue." It is also stated that he had " other 1neans of living to :enable hi1n to bear the expenses of pron1otion to a see wasted by re hellion." Bishop Crosbie settled at Ardfert Abbey, where his descendants possess, at the present day, a considerable estate. Conor nicGillycuddy had for his first wife Joan Crosbie, daughter of the bishop, and by her had five children. [Infra, p. 36.J The date of this his first marriage ,vas probably the year 1615 or 1618. Conor McGillycuddy acquired, by purchase or intermarriage, several denominations of land in Kerry. In 1619, on November the 6t\ "Owen O 1Sullivane, of Bally nc gillaneslan,'' made over to him and his heiTs for ever, the lands of Carro,vnehover, Ardshilane, Carro,vmire Ightragh ne Kinsallagh, Carro,vrnire Igtragh Glanloghe, and Cahir donnile ierragh. On the 19th of .August, 162:3, Maurice Crosbie conveyed to hi1n the lands of Clonloher, Coade, Ballyledir, Bearhane., Dro1uacliffe, and 0'Comgaons (formerly granted to Sir John Kinge and Sir John James by the Cro-\vn), at the nominal rent of 23 shillings a year. Conor had for his second ,vife, a daughter of Daniel Oge Carty, of Dunguile. His death took place by shipwreck in October, 1630, according to the funeral entry in Ulster's Office, or on the 3rd of November, 1630, as the inquisition post rniorteni states. Dorrough, the eldest son of Conor McGillycuddy by Joan Crosbie, was born at Ardfert, as appears from the Matriculation books of Trinity College. According to the same authority, the year of his birth was 1623, which date agrees with other papers, but not with the inquisition post mortem, given infra, C .. . XVlll INTRODUCTORY lvIE]rtIOIR . p. 25, which states him to have been under eleven years of age at his father's death in 1630. His uncle, David Crosbie, of Ardfert, was his guardian, and watched over his ,vard's ,vorldly interests, by taking legal proceedings for his protection on various occasions. Young 1\1 cGillycuddy entered Trinity College, Dublin, on the 17th of November, 1640, but seems not to have taken out any degree. In the n1011th of March, 1641 (p. 52), he married l\farie, the youngest daughter of Daniel, the O'Sullivan 1Iore, by Juan Fitzmaurice. Donough's "tender age," which is brought forward in some of his petitions as proof that he took no part in the "plunder and outrages done against the Protestants," did not, it seems, prevent him from contracting an early marriage, nor from taking proceedings, for the recovery of his wife's fortune, before the Council of the Confederate Catholics. His uncle, David Crosbie, the Protestant bishop's son, appears as one of the Commissioners for the army for the County of Kerry, and in conjunction with Richard Connell, the Catholic Bishop of A.rdfert and Aghadoe,_ signs a decree in 1643, in favour of his nephew, the McGillycuddy. Dorrough McGillycuddy was certified not only to have had no part in the plunder of the Protestants, but even to have relieved them ,vhen in great distress. He was not in arms before the year 1648, when he raised a foot company at his own cost, and subsequently brought together :five or six companies of his kinsmen and friends to aid the Royal cause, for which and other services he received from the Duke of Orn1ond a commission as Lieutenant-Colonel. He suffered, however, severely for his loyalty, receiving many wounds, and losing his lands and his castle, which he burned rather than permit it to fall into the hands of the Parliamentarian General. He was afterwards taken prisoner, and ,vhen released under the articles of peace wl1ich Clancarty was compelled to accept, refused to remain in Ireland under the con­ ditions imposed by the '' usurping power," and went into voluntary exile. In foreign parts he" follo-\ved his Majestie"s fortune, person, and command, until his happy-Restoration." In 16 61, he obtained an order from Charles II. to be restored to his estates, and in the same year had licence to bring "his wife and family, goods and necessaries," from Flanders to Ireland. But impediments of various kinds interfered ,,rith his enjoyment of his ancestral property. Some of his lands, which in 1653 were usurped by the Parliamentarians, came into the possession, in 1659, of James Napper, who on the 1st of May in that year, • INTRODUCTORY Jl:IE~IOIR. XIX "by order of the Council," obtained" a Iott" in Kerry, which included a part of the McGillycuddie estate. Among the lands then granted were the denomina­ tions of "Tomys, Dunloe, Culemagort, Ardkinturke, Cliddagh, Cullinagh, Kippaghanavane, t,vo Carrunihones Farrinagatt Ards Carrubeg· Teneskartie the two Tulliges, Ardlaghas, Banecluone,' Ardralk,' and 'Gortinscarry,'' ' ' all ,vhich' lands Napper set to his kinsman, Robert Blennerhasset, of Killorglin, for £64, for one year. In 16 62, i:PGillycuddie got possession, by order of the Lords Justices, of o-v-er fifty "ploughlands" or denominations, and in 1663, obtained "Ards, Farranegat, Teneskarty, and Carrubeg," ,vhere the ruins of the castle of his forefathers remain. Among the Carte Papers [ vol. 44, p. 326] preserved in the Bodleian Library at Oxford, is a Return made about the year 1664, entitled "An Abstract of the nu111ber of acres unto ,vhich several persons have been restored, or designed to be restored, either by Act of Parlian1ent, by order from his JVIa tye, by order fron1 the Lords Justices, the House of Lords, or Coarte of Clay1nes." In this Return " Lt- Coll. McGillycuddye" is set down for" 66,500A·" in '' Kerrye." In another Return of "Persons Testored by the King's Letters, being not Proviso Men or Mero motu men," "Lt· Coll. McGillycuddy" is set down for 6,500 acres. [Carte Papers, vol. 44, p. 366.J But the McGillycuddy was by no means put into undisturbed possession of this property, for he was for years afterwards harassed by the adventurers, soldiers, and others, who, under the A.ct of Settlement set up claims to various portions of his estates. He had to plead over again for his lands, before the Commis­ sioners of tl1e Act of Settlement in 1667, and seems never to have been free from suits for Quit-rents and Chief-rents due to the Crown on different pretences. One of his chief tormentors was Sir William Petty, ,vho in 1664 [Infra p. 119] had contrived to take a,vay part of McGillycuddy's land on some pretext of law.::~ Colonel Donogh, ho,vever, had po-,verful friends, ,vhose interference

The allotment of land in satisfaction for their adventures ·was not to be n1a.de to the subscribers until the Parlianient shou]d declare the Irish to be subdued and the ,var to be appeased and ended:: an event which did not take place until September, 1652; and then the Parlian1ent resoh-ed to pay their Army their arrears of pay, at the same rates as the Adventurers, in Land. Upon thfa: occasion the grand aim of the different reginients, ,vho 111ight possibly fall there, ·was to aYo:icl Kerry, which happened to be the Lot of three Regiments comn1ancled by Colonel Henry Pretty,, Lord Broghill, and another.

Petty, A.D. 1655-6.. Edited by l\'Iajor Thos. A. Larcom, Royal Engineers. 4to, Dublin, 1851, p. 85.J In other words, were the greater part of the lands in Kerry to be considered "Unprofitable/' a.::nd therefore not aYailable to-,vards satisfying the Army, or to be considered "Profitable"? The course finally taken by Doctor Petty's Surveyors "\v-as to equalize to"'\Vlllands, and to value the coarser but not entirely unprofitable lands, as requiring a certain number to make up the value of one profita1)Je acre, son1etimes counting fifteen acres for one. In such case they placed in one column tlie ~ntire number of acres, good and coarse together, as "profitable," ,vithin the terms of the .. A... ct of Par liament; and in another column, spoken of in Colonel ~IcGillicucldy's Letters as "the extremB or reduced column," ,vere set do,vn the 11un1ber of acres to be considered "Profitable," ancl chargeah1e with Quit-rent, according to the scale of con1parison or computation, by ,vhich fifteen or other number of acres "-ere to be counted for one. These quarrels between the different regin1ents of the Arn1y ,vere hardly over before the King1s Restoration brought about a nffw settle1nent. The King's first intention was, so far to confirm the best of the Adventurers and Souldiers, as to prov-ide for their satisfaction by giving them rm amount of Land adequate to pay them at the original rates; but, as he had promised to restore tne­ best and m.ost loyal of the Irish ,vho had served, like Colonel ~IcGillycuddy, under his Ensigns or INTRODUCTORY l\iEMOIR..

Standard abroad, the royal intention, in n1any cases, could only be carried out by way of reprize, that is, by giving the displaced Adventurer or Souldier, other Lands elsewhere in exchange. Colonel l\IcGillycuclcly thus got the King's Letter of 18th April, 1661, to be restored, and under it took possession of his Estate, no one as yet interfering with him. Similar Letters ,vere obtained by a great nun1ber of loyal Irish, both of ~Iilesian and English descent, which soon raised a clamour an1ong the Ad..-enturers and Soldiers hitherto in possession, and now dispossessed, or threatened with being dispossessed,; and they had interest enough to get the Court first erected for putting in Execution the King's Declaration of :30th Noven1ber, 1660, superseded by another, under an A.ct commonly called "An Act for the Settlement of Ireland," repealing many of the beneficial clauses of the Declaration in favour of Irish Rorr1an Catholics. This ..A.ct ·was passed in 1662. But it ·was repealed, as still too faY01u-able to the Irish, by another ....\.ct in 1665, called "The Act of Explanation." Under the Act of 1662, the Commissioners of the Court had con1e to a conclusion that the Estates restored to the Irish on the ground of their innocence, were not liable to the Quit-rents charged by the A.dventurers .A.ct on Lands conquered from the Irish, and embodied in the Act of 1662. It was natural to impose it on the ne,v conquests; but seemed lu1reasonable and cruel to make those liable to it who after suffering banishment and poverty for t,velve or fifteen years, ,vere restored as being innocent of any cri111e. By the Act of Explanation this decision ,vas reversed, and the Irish restored were made liable, but the Protestants or English restored in like manner to their old Estates, were exempted.­ [17 & 18 Car. 2d, chap. 2, sec. 42.J But the Lord Lieutenant ,vas empowered, in consideration that the Quit-rent on coarse land might render it ",..orthless by equalling or exceeding its real value, to moderate during the next three years the Quit-rent, on account of the discouragement that might thereby ensue to plantation and in1provement.-[Ibid., sec. 43.] During the whole sitting of the Commissioners of Claims, the various English and Protestants who were to be reprized for lands that had been taken from them, and restored to the former propriet0rs, English or Irish, shunned and rejected Kerry, or Col. 1\-fcGillicuddy ,vould have quickly lost his property. Had the Quit-rent been reduced within the time limited by the Act of Explanation, many would have been no doubt contented to take it for a reprize.

For according to an account of the arrears of the Civil List,, from the 25th December, 1675, to Michaelmas, 1681, the pensions of McGillycuddy, and almost all the rest, were two years in arrear.-[Carte Papers, vol. 53, p. 225.J · It ,vas, perhaps, as much o,ving to Sir W. Petty's hostile intervention, as to the operation of the " Explanatory Act," that the lands passed in patent to McGillycuddy in 1678, were limited to the two thousand acres of Carhunihones, .Ardlaghis, Banecluone, and Shanderries. The manner in ,vhich Sir W. Petty harassed MeGillycuddy is sufficiently shown in the following papers, at pages 83, 86, 101, 106, 111, 119, 139, 143, 145, 146, 1417, 148. .The McGillycuddy, it seems, opposed some plans of Sir William, and thereby saved His 1iajestie the sum of ten thousand pounds. He, ho,vever, ,vas put to enorn1ous cost and annoyance by the continual la,vsuits in ,vhich Sir W. Petty involved him. A good idea of Sir Willia111's plan of proceedings n1ay be gathered from his treatment of Sir George Carteret, Baronet, ,vho in 1662, advanced Petty t,velve hundred Pounds to purchase lands for their joint benefit. Sir George, in 1676 and 1677, was obliged to take proceedings against Petty for an account of his money, and applied to some gentlen1en in Kerry to afford him informa­ tion and assistance. His Jetter to McGillycuddy is given infra, p. 121; ._another letter of Carteret's is here transcribed, along ,vith a copy of Sir William Petty's account with Carteret. These documents will illustrate the n1ethod in which Petty searched for defective titles, in order to gain the estates of the old proprietors for himself and his nominees.

The letter of Sir George Carteret is thus addressed :- " To my much respected friends, Patrick Crosby and William Reeves, Esqrs., at Kerry, in Ireland."

Dorrough McGillycuddy ,vas High Sheriff of the County of Kerry, in 1687, and his son Cornelius ,vas, in 1688, appointed by Tyrconnell to a Captain's Commission in Lord Slane's regiment. In 1691 Colonel Dennis l\:IcGillycuddy ,vas appointed, under sign-manual of James II., to be commander­ in-chief of all his forces in the town and county of Cavan. This Den1;is ,vas either a son or nephe-\v of the McGillycuddy, ,vho seen1s to have been ·in that year, 1691'1 in Kerry, where he had some part in procuring cattle for the use of the army of King J.A:\IES.

16 89 by Schonberg to con1n1and the Irish forces in the Isle of Wight. Another Denis McGillycuddy appears to have been serving as a Major in WILLIAM'S army in July, 1691. The names Dennis and Donough are sometimes applied in these papers to the sa1ne person, and it has been supposed by some that Donough McGillycuddy, ,vho served CHARLES I. so faithfully, ,vas the Colonel Dennis i1:cGillycuddy prornoted by WrLLIA.\I in 1689. This is improbable, for various reasons. The second son of Colonel Dorrough was, however, an officer under the Prince of Orange, as is proved by a parchment certificate st.ill existing, but of which a portion is illegible. I ts contents are as follows :- ::, I doe Certi(y, unto all ,vhom it may concern, that Daniel McGillycuddy, " second son to Coll' Donogh }lcGillycuddy of Karhubeg in the County of ,~ Kerry and Kingdon1e of Irehtnd, ,vas Captn in Coll Monk's Regi1nent in " Holland under the Prince of Orange, Stats Houlder of 1-Iolland, which '· Regimt (along ,vith other Regiments) ,vas established by the Earl of Ossery, '' Lieutt G'ral of those Regin1ts, by orders from I{ing Charles the 2d. [Torn '' and illegible.] . . . . called at any tin1e at [ TornJ ...... " The said Capt. Dan[iell MacGillycud]dy Died in the year of our Lord [Torn ...... actually . . . ." Donough :Thf cGillycuddy ,v2.,s, ho,vever, '' comprehended within the articles of Limerick,'' and his lands, on application to the Commissioners of fo1feitures, th 1 ,vere struck out of their books. On the 7 of November, 1G94, "Col • Donagh McGillycuddy'' took the oath of allegiance to v"'lrLLIA)I and MARY. Cornelius, the eldest son of Donough McGillycuddy by Mci.rie O'Sullivan, succeeded to the fa1nily estates on the death of his father in 1695 or 1696. He served as a Captain in I{ing JA)IEs' arn1y as before stated, and "\Vas :Oiember of Parliament for Ardfert in 1689. He ,vas, ho,vever, at Banecluone (now Whitefield and the family residence) on the 3rd of October, 1691, and was included ,vithin the articles of Lin1erick. He took the orvths to their lVIajesties in 1694. Cornelius, during his father's lifetiine, ,vas active in the recovery of the family property, butlfell after his father's death into great pecuniary difficulties. He mortgaged all his estates, in 16 9 8, to David Crosby of Ardfert; and in 1706 "levied a fine and suffered recovery'' in order to bar the entail. He was for some time before his death of infir1n health, and his medical XXX INTRODUCTORY ~IE1tIOI1"t. adviser, ,vhen sending him a "cooling and lenitive eleetuary," adds to his le.tter the following postcript :- " HeTe is noe manner of ne-\vs ; ,ve expect too n101To1vs post will bring a sure "acct of peace or noe peace ; I hope you have heard a Long Mass this day "being the last day for any of yor Clergy yt has not taken ye Oaths, ,vhich I "belie-re you have an acctt of Long agoe. Its of dangerous consequence to "heare Mass from those yt have not taken the Oaths. I am yors as before." From the foregoing, as ,vell as fron1 other documents, it appears that Cornelius ,vas a Rorr1an Catholic as all his ancestors ,vere. The following licence, headed "Doctor Gibbon's libertie to eat flesh," is curious, but licences for exeP.J.ption fro111 fasting ,vere also obtained frequently by Protestants, during the seventeenth century, and many such licences are on record in the Consistorial Office in Dublin. "Ego, infrascriptus Medicus Doctor, omnibus quorun1 interest, aut interesse "poterit, me examinasse tempe1~aturam nobilis et IllustTissimi Domini Cornelius " :rvrcGillycuddy, eamque esse debiiem, valetudinarian, et superannuam, " quapropter sentio eundem Dominum non teneri J eiunaTe non solu1n "hocce pr;_;esenti quadrigesima) sed etiam in posterum durante vita nullatenus "tenetur J eiunare, propter evectam retaten1.

Cornelius died in November, 1712, lea·ving no issue, and having endeavoured by a ,vill dated 20 October, 1712, to annul the deeds made to Crosbie in I 706, and to secure the ancestral estates to his nephe,v and heir.. at-law. Denis, ,vho no-,v in 1712 became '' The McGillycuddy," was the eldest son of Captain Daniel l'JcGillycuddy, ,vho ,vas the second son of Colonel Donough ~1cGillycuddy and Marie O'Sullivane. This Daniel served in Colonel Monk's Regiment in Holland under the Prince of Orange and died in or before the year 1705, having married Lucretia, the second daughter and eventually co-heir of J\f ynheer Derrick Von Dachelaer, by his ,vife, Joanna V olters. 1\{argaret, the other sister of Lucretia, was wife to l\faj or, afterwards Colonel, Denis McGillycu.ddy, a :first cousin to Captain Daniel. ifynheer Derrick Von Dachelaer vlas Burgomaster of W ageningen in Guelderland, where he possessed . INTRODUCTORY MEMOIR. XXXI

"the great Meado,v near the Rhine.'' Eventually all his property (as his son died '\vithout issue) descended to his t'\vo daughters, Lucretia and Margaret, the ,vives of the cousins MeGillycuddy. By Lucretia, Captain Daniel lVt'Gillycuddy had issue two sons, Denis the elder, and Cornelius, ,vho settled in Lisbon, under the name of Rodrigo Von Dachelaer, and who by deed, dated 3rd April, 1723, conveyed all his share of the Guelderland property to his brother Denis. In this deed "love and affection" are stated to be the only motives for so liberal a gift. Denis McGillycuddy, in 1713, endeavoured, and with son1e success, to recover from the Crosbies the property entailed on him by his grandf2vther's ,vill, and he obtained in 1716 from. Da-vid Crosbie, leases of several denomina­ tions of lands at small rents for the term of 990 years. In 1718 Dennis openly declared his conformity to the established religion, as appears by a certificate which is thus endorsed:-" Denis l\fcGillycuddy's certificate for taking ye oaths, ano D'ni 1718. Filed in ye Rolls office, 22 July, 1719.'' The certificate itself is as follows :-

" Com. KERRY. Ad General' Session' pac' tent' apud Tralee in Com' pd 22° die April' ano D'ni, 1718. " I do hereby certify that Denis 1\1 cGillycuddy, of Carrubeg, in the said "County, gent', came into open C'rte, and produced a certificate of his receiving "the Sacran1ent of the Lord's Supper according to the Church of Ireland, 2ind "proved the san1e as the statute requires, and then and there s,vore the oath "of Allegiance and Abjuracon, and subscribed the same and the Declaracon, " all at the sd sessn.

In 1724, he ,vent to Guelderland, to look after the property his brother Cornelius gave hin1 in 1723. Fron1 thence he "\Yrote to his ,vife, "Mrs. Ann :i\1cGillycuddy, at Carhuebeg,'' the f ollo,v-ing letter :- t, "\Vageningen, 29th July, 17:)•4, Dutch stile.

Denis McGillycuddy, on his return from Guelderland, applied hin1self to obtain from the Crosbies, and fron1 the Herberts, to whom part of Crosby's interest in the J\icGillycuddy estates had been assigned, some settlement of the suits which arose out of the deeds signed by his uncle Cornelius. In this he ,vas aided by the good feeling ,vhich prevailed bet,veen the Crosbies and his fa1nily. In 1727, he ,vrote to Sir lviaurice Crosbie, reminding him that David Crosbie, his father, as certain deeds executed by him set forth, was "nearly related to and concerned for the being and preservation of the family" ,of McGillycuddy, and that "n1ore especially since the conversion of [DennisJ INTRODUCTORY ME1f OIR. XXXlll to the Protestant religion." It \vould appear that owing to these considera­ tions, the Crosbies gave Dennis very favourable terms, of which he availed himself to recover part of his patrin1ony. Denis McGillycuddy executed his last ,vill and testament on the 27th of December, 1730, and soon after,vards died. fiis ,vill ,vas proved by Sir Maurice Crosbie and other executors on the 27th of February, 1731. He left his Guelderland property to his younger children. Among the items of his funeral expenses ,vere the follo,ving, viz. :-- " lli 15s Od expended for an Anchor of Brandy. "4n laid out in ,vine for Defuncts Funerall. 1 "l5 i due to l\{ort Sullivane of Killarney, merchant, for ye Defunct's " Funerall Expenses.

Anne, the relict of Denis 1IcGillycuddy, Yvas married in 1731, to Thomas Herbert, esq., ,vith ,vhom Cornelius, the second son of Denis, had a lawsuit of long continuance. The family papers from this period afford few extracts of more than private interest. The details of the McGillycuddy genealogy will be noticed in pages 189 to 204.

IN obedience to the right hobie the supreame Councell theire order of refferrence to us directed, beareinge date at Limerick the 24th of July 1646, requireinge and aucthorizeinge us to take the petic'on of Donnogh me Gillecuddie Esqre into Considerac'on, touchinge a Chiefe rent challenged by the Receiver Generall of the county of Kerry to be due out of parte of the said petr and his £freeholders' estates unto the Kt of Kerry. By vertue of ,vch refference and aucthority wee have examined Seaven very auncient wittnesses, whoe volun­ taryly haveinge taken theire Corporall oaths uppon the Holy Evangelist depose and say, that they and every of them haveinge lived uppon parte of the said lands, whereout the said Cheefe rent is challenged to be due ; that, dureinge the continuance of three Comocions or insurrecc'ons, w'thin theire memory happeninge, the said cheife rent was never paied to the said Kt of Kerry, his auncestors nor any other deriveinge under him ; and for theire cause of know­ ledge say that, w'thin theire men1ory, a prey beinge taken by some of the Kt's auncestors', allyes or servants', and carryed to Kilforglen Castle, one Daniell Garreltaigh, alias me Gillecuddy, pursued the same to the said Castle, ,vhere he forced restituc'on of the said prey of Co-\ves, except one ,v'ch was slaughtered, the flesh and hide of w' ch Cowe ,vas alsoe then restored unto hi1n. They further depose that, by relac' on of their auncestors, they were credibly tould that much blood was spilt, twixt the petr's auncestors and the said Kt's auncestors, uppon any attempt made to take a,vay preyes for the same. And p'ticulerly they depose and say, by relac'on as aforesaid, that one Cnoghor finine me Gille­ cuddy, beinge killed in reskeweinge a prey taken for the said cheife rent, me Gillecuddy,_nicknamed Pleggerd, did prey and kill divers of the Barony of Cortoguiny for assistinge the said Kt when the said Cnoghor finine me Gille- H 50 M'GILLYCUDDY

cuddy was soe killed. And lastly they depose that -the said cheife rent was never reduced to any pecuniary payment untill the beginninge of the last peace, at w'ch time the then Kt of Kerry, w'th his kinsmen and allyes, Comonly called ffarroboge, came into parte of the petr's ·Estate, where Cesseinge, pil- . ladgeinge, and preyeinge the reliques of the petr's Grandfather's freeholders and followers, by w'ch Compulsary course the said cheife rent was reduced to Certeinty, as it continued untill the beginninge of the present troubles. Soe as it clearely appeares unto us that the payment of the said Cheife rent in times of trouble, Comoco'n, & warrs ought, and is to surcease and abate, and, for the right, doe leave the same to better Judgmts.

And afterwards, when yor Ma'tie's Cause was declineing in that your Kingdome, yor Petr, out of his good affection to yor Mats service, voluntarily made up Six Companies of ffoot of his owne neere kinsmen and relations, and had his Grace ye Duke of Ormond's Comission to serve with then1 as Lieutent Colonel to ye late Lord of :Thfuskrie's Regiment., in ,vch Imployment yor Petr faithfully served., untill ye laying downe of Armes of yor Mats party there [being* made prisoner by ye Enemy and haveing received severall ,vounds in yt timeJ after wch yor Petr betooke himselfe to forraigne parts [and on your Matie's arrival in flanders tendered his service to yor MaHe and ,vas ready and] ,vhere he continued obedient to yor Mats co1nands.

But ye A.ct of Settlement being soone after enacted [and there being a clause therein yt none should be deemed innocent who injoyed any Estate Real or personall in ye Irish quarters, because of that qualification J it was as well yor Petr·s misfortune, as ye fate of many others, that he could not con;ie to a tryall of his Innocence, by reason of ye shortnesse of time allowed by [by ye Rules of ye said A.ct & of ye Explanatory Act] the said Act, so that since that time yor Petr's Estate is Decreed [ directed] away to others, whereby y 1 Petr is miserably left destitute of maintenance fol'· himselfe & many children, contrary to yor Mats gracious intentions in Favour of ye Petr. Yet, in regard ye said Estate is a large Scope of very course land, and that ye Quitrent reserved to yor Matie thereout, by ye late acts of Settlement, is farr more than ye yearly value of it, by means whereof there hath been nothing [ not one pennyJ hitherto paid thereout, unto yor Matie, but ye lands left in Condie' on of wast, yet yor Pet' continueth possession of ye most part thereof, pursuant to yor Mats gracious letters bearing date as aforesaid. May it therefore please yr Sacred Matie, to take ye premisses into yr Royall Considerac'on, and in Comiserac'on of yor Petr's sad Condic'on, to be graciously pleased to grant unto yor Petr and his heirs, ye Quitrents and ye arrears thereof, due and payable to your Matic out of yor Petr's said estate [since yor Petr cannot have the land being Decreed a,vay as aforesaid] towards his maintennance and reliefe ; and that ye Barons of your Mats Court of Excheqr may be required, as often as ye said lands or any part thereof, shall be in arreare of Quittrent and lay wast, to give yor Petr and his heirs a Custodium thereof, they ans,vering & satisfieing in proportion ye Ancient Crcnvne Rents payable into yor Matie•s Excheqr in ye yeare 1641 A.nd your Petr "rill Ever pray &.c

Third Petition fo1~ the Quitrents. [Dated 1674] To the King's most Excellent Maiestie The humble pettn of Lt Coll' Donogh MacGillycuddy Sheweth THA1, yor pettr lately prefered a pettn unto yor Ma'tie, setting foorth that yor Matie was grateously pleased to graunte unto yor pettr yor Royall letters, dated the 18th of Aprill 1661, to be restored unto his Estate, in consideration of his loyalltie, service, & sufferings, as in yor Ma'tie's said letters is fullie expressed. A.nd that in pursuance thereof yor petr was put in possession of his Estate, and still continueth the most parte thereof. But so it is, may it please yor Ma'tie, that the quitrent, imposed on your petr's said Estate by yor Ma'tie's comissioners, by vertue of the Acts of Settlement of yor Ma'tie's Kingdome of Ireland, is far more then the pettr's estate is yearly woorth. Wherefore your pettr reapeth but little benefit thereout towards the main­ tenance of his wife and manie children, and the rather that yor pettr·s tenants and relations (the most part of them officers and souldiers who served your Ma'tie at home and abroade with your pettr) are forced to forsake the said landes to secure theire poore stocke from the collectors of the quitrents, which if seized uppon woulde be the everlasting ruine of them and yor pettr, if not timely grateously releeved by yor Ma'tie, yor pettr haveing lounge waited with great expence, and hath not wherewithal! to support himselfe much lounger. May it therefore please yor· sacred Ma'tie, in consideration of the premisses, & compassion of yor pettr's sad condition, to be grateously pleased to graunte unto the pettr, and his heires, the quitrent and the arreares thereof, (as the same was charged on your pettr's Estate by your Ma'tie's Comissioners for executeing the acts of Settlement) to supporte himselfe and greate charge, being not in condition otherwise to subsiste.

I have sence conferred with a great many of them, and gave them time to provide what they could, to see if I could make any thinge considerable up, to be sent you.. And in the beginninge, before I tryed them, I had great hopes, but now, I find them soe base and soe unworthy, that I have nott had 20 shill's in this whole parrish; soe that I presume- they thinketh that you are doeinge noethinge, and therefore does nott much care wether they send you any thinge or noe. I have had in Bordoneen fe,v Chattle and £4 in moneys. There are a great many of them that shunned me, and others denyinge for good and all. I assure you they are all as n1uch altered as any in the \\'"hole Country sence your departure, onely the poorest sort. You had but little hopes to trust unto them, unless they ,vere sensible you ,vere in a condition that they should feare you. I shall endeavour to send you "~hat is remay--neing of the little rents, before the latter end of the holly dayes, and if I cann gett any more Chattle from any of them, I presume to keep them to satisfie napper, for we are much in arrears to him now.

...~ State of the case of Coll' Donogh mac Gullicud

THAT 1nountanous and barren lands, in the County of Keiry, in the poss'ion of the said Coll' as part of his antient estate, being lately charged by the

Comn1rs of the 'fre'ary ,vith the yearely quit.rent of £19 14s 1 d and in arreare thereof for severall yeares, the said Lands being not ,vorth neere the said Q 114 Y'GILLYCUDDY sum'e b~ame .,vaste, ,vherefore a Cornn issued from -the Excheqr for vallueing the said lands, "\Vhereupon returne was n1ade that the san1e were yearely worth £2 3s 9d and noe more, as by Coppy of the said Con:iion, now ready to bee produced, may appeare. Att w'ch rent Sr \Villian1 Petty agrees with the Comrs of ye Treasury, and procures a ,vritt of Seizure; ,v'ch was, upon the said Colls instance, suppressed by the Excheqr as being the said Colls inheritance and in his poss'ion. The Barrons then saying they doubted not the Conf' of the Tre'ary would be kind to hin1 as to ye arreares,, at ye yearley charge of 19u 14s 1 u, since the lands were by Com'ission found to bee realy worth noe more then £2 3s 9d. The Coll1 offers to pay the arreares at the rate of the said returne, although the said lands ,vere not in charge, and desires that what part of his pension shall remaine due to him after deduction at ye rate of £2 3s 9d may be paid him, and he noe further troubled for the arreares of £19 14s ld; the yeares· rent at that rate being 1nore then the purchas of all the lands charged : whieh rent of £2 3s 9d he conceaves ought to be accepted from l1im as well as from Sr Willian1 Petty. 1 Now soe it is that of 300u pension the said Coll received but 35 \ the remainder being stopt for the arreres at the rate of £ 19 14s 1 d as aforesaid~ as by a certificate from Sr John Champante, ready to be produced, may appeare. The said Coll1 did also sett forth, in a petic'on to his Matk, that, by vertue of his 1Iat"s Privy signet, he became poss' ed of his estate in the yeare 1661, and that aftenvards the said estate ,-vas decreed to Souldrs by the Corns of the Court of Claimes, of w'ch, by reason of the weight of the quitrent, they· declyned to passe Lettrs Pattents ; by meanes ,vhereof the Coll1 continueth his poss'ion, but the lands ,vast. Wherefore he prayed his Matie to grant him the quit rent. The contents whereof ,vas refered to the Lc1 Ranelagh to returne his oppinion to his ~Iatie, w' ch is not yet done by his Lordshipp. Wherefore the Coll' offers to the Ld Ranalagh's considerac' on, to be reported to his Matic, his faithfull services and sufferings for his Ivia)tic at home and abroad; his great charge of wife and ten children, and alsoe his late service in appeareing against Sr William Petty, by w'ch, as is well kno,vne to his Majestie in.Cpuncill, he preserved to his Matie ten thousand pounds, ,v'ch are and will grow due to his Matie from the said Petty, v;rhich none else but the said Coll1 could make out at that time.

And therefore humbly conceaves that ifhis Matie :nay be pleased to allow -defaulcation upon acct of setleing the Coll' in his tBtate, the said Colr hath saved n1uch more to his Matie then ye said• defaulcation may come unto, in opposeing the said Sr William Petty, besides his n1erritts by suffering long imprison1nents for his lr'Iatic, and receiveing desperate ,Younds, and. the losse of many- relations in his l\'Iatie's service.

[Dated 1687] [Endorsed] :Oir. Thon1pson's Report upon Mr. McGillycuddye's peticion.

To the Honble the Cheife Comrs, & Govrs of his ~Iatie's Revenue in Ireland,

May it Please your honrs, IN obedience to your Ordr of refferrence, I have examined the contents of the Petition of Cornelius McGilly-Cuddy, hereunto annexed, and :finde the lands of Dunlow, and severall other lands in the county of Kerry, granted by the Certificate of the Comrs of the late Court of Claimes unto Coll' Pritty and others, for the 3 Regimts, ,vere granted in Custodiam, by the Court of Exchqr, to John Ellis, Esqr for his Matie's use, in June, 1683, and by yor honrs· agreemt and directions sett by him a Lease to the Pettr, att the Rent of 340u, to com­ mence 25th March, 83, and to continue dureing the said Custodiam. I alsoe finde, by a Le're dated the 8th Sept 83, ,vritten by Mr Ellis to the then Collr, Mr Barth: Babe, ,vherein he directs that upon the complaint of the Pettr, that if the Pettr should take the lands forth,vith, and give such security as the Collr should approove off, that he should sett him the same at the Rent of 280n per ann; w'ch I finde the said Collr did accordingly. I alsoe finde, by a Certificate fro1n the said Coll\ that he gave poss' on thereof the 2nd day of October 1683, and the Pettr praies he might be charged wth no Rent but from the time he ,vas put in poss' on thereof as aforesaid. I alsoe find, by the affi.dt hereunto annexed, that there are seveTal lands wch were in the said custod' and sett to the Pettr as aforesaid, ,v' ch he could not enjoy, the vallue ,vhereof by the said affidavitt appeares to be 63H 7s p' Ann. I alsoe finde the Pettr hath paid, on acct of the said Lease, to the said Collr, 1 492li 9s ll\ and to lYJr Christopr Carleton the sum'e of 106 i 4s 8\ soe that, accounting the Rent att 280li p' ann, from the time the Pettr was put in poss'on as aforesaid, I finde he is .chargeable, for 3 yeares and halfe rent due at Easter last, the sum'e of 980u, and if your honrs should allow the Pettr the sum'e 1 of 63 i 7s p' ann., for the lands ·he could not enjoy as aforesaid, for the said

1 11 time, it amounts to 221 i 14 6d w'ch with the 492li 9s Ild paid to l\{r Babe, PAPERS. 159

and 106li 4s sd to Mr Carleton, amounts to the sum'e of 820li ss 3ld; ,v'ch being deducted out of the said Charge, there remains due from the Pettr at 1 Easter the sum'e of 15·9 i 11s sid. But I humbly conceive the Pettr ought to pay the Rent from the date of the said Custodium, because the said Lands were in Custod' before, and the Lease commences from the 25th March 1683; and if your hons should be of that opinion, the Pettr is to be charged w'th the § y'rs Rent due att Mich'as 83, w'ch amounts to 140u; whereof if your honrs should allow for the lands he did not enjoy, w'ch comes to 21u 68, it will be 118u 14s. I alsoe conceive the lands withheld from the Pettr, tho' they ,vere ,vorth 63u 7s p' ann, as by the affidtt is sworne, Yett the vallue thereof, in proportion to the whole lands, amounts unto but 42u 12s; and if yr honrs should be of opinion the Pettr ought to be allo,ved no more abatemt p' ann', then the Pettr

,vould be charged with, besides the 118n 14 s for the } y'rs Rent due as afore­

said, the sum' e of 72u 12s 6d; ,v' ch two sumes being added to the 15 9H 11 s 8 id due from the Pettr att Easter 87 as aforesaid, I finde the whole due from the

1 8 Pettr att Easter 87 amounts to 350 i 18 2¾d Richd Thompson.

CXXXIX. The State of the Coitnty of Kerry and the Baronies ofBeare and Bantry in 16 73.

[The following Paper is taken from "Collections concerning the Execution of the Acts of Settlement and Explanation." Liber M. fo. 353. Record Tower, Dublin Castle].

Report on the State of the County of Kerry and the Baronies of Bere and Bantry. [Dated :March 27, 1673] To His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. IN obedience to your Excellencie's order of ye 24 March last We, the under named J usteces of the Peace for ye Countie of Kerry, have considered the state a~d condition of the three Baronies of Iveragh, Dunkerran, and Glanerought, ,vithin the said county, unto ,vhich ,vee conceive the condition of Beare and Bantry to be very like, and doe upon the ,vhole matter finde that the said four baronies are obnoxious unto the following evills: vizt.: First, to be preyed upon by any enemies shipping, Pickaroons, and that the people thereof are under many temptations and have many opportunities to correspond and comply with such vessels for their relief and refreshment, as 111ay appear by the situation of ye land, condition of ye people hereafter men­ tioned and several late instances. That ye said country, being inhabited, for ye most parte, by such people as are concerned to oppose ye present laws, and that others being not enough in number to procure the execution of ,vhat the Magistrate commands, It hath happened that the Ministers of Justice have been so abused in their persons and goods, that they have been either terrified from. proceeding in their duty, or else wearied into a compliance ,vith or connivance at those whom they before sought to punish. The cause of ,vhich two General Evills ,vee humbly conceave to be as fol­ lo,veth : vizt. - First, For that the remotest part of these Baronies are 180 English miles fron1 Dublin, and near 40 miles from the places where Assizes and Sessions are held, and ye ,vay for ye last 30 or 40 miles are the worst of all Ireland, unpas- 2 B 2 184 M'GILLYCUDDY

sable in the winter time, and require an hour's riding, with much trouble and danger, for each mile, so as the Ministers of Justice cannot from the inhabi­ tants of those places ( ,vho are very poor) find- any satisfaction for their trouble­ some journey after them. Nor will the causes wherein those poor people are concerned bear the chardge of sending men to make affidavits or to be witnesses &c. in them : Nor are there yet Manors enough erected in a sufficient order to try small matters upon the place. 2. In al_l the said Baronies, being 100 miles in compass, there is resident but one Minister, and he ,vithout Churchwardens or Service-Booke, officiating only now and then in one place, and ,vho although he have above £300 due to him is no,v ready to perish for ,vant of maintenance, and so vexed by the injuries and · abuses done him by the Papists, that he findes it easier to suffer than to seeke reliefe : whilst the country aboundeth with unnecessary Priests and Officers and Friars, exacting large allowances from ye people, and with youth learning of needless Latin instead of useful trades. 3. The country is soe thin peopled that there is above 66 English acres of Land for every man won1an and child that is ,vithin it ; and these soe poore th~t untill very lately there ,vas not in them tenn houses of two chimnies in each-not one inhabitant in them all able to bear the office of Justice of the Peace or Sheriff. Noe kinde of Manufacture or fishing (but oysters at lo-\v water) even in this place, ,vhich before the discovery of N e,vfoundland was the fishery of Europe ; and no employn1ent but the grazing of small cattle in the summer time ,vithout n1aking any hay for the ,vinter; but a general face of poverty and rudeness hath overspread it untill within these five last years that the Trades of Iron, Lead, Timber, Shipping, Rape seed, fishing of all sort, Tanning and several other trades subservient thereunto, hath been ,vith great difficulty introduced by one or t,vo persons. Soe as the people, by reason of their poverty and the fastness of the country, are irresponsible either by their bodyes or goods for anything they did amiss. Nor ,vas there any Magistrate upon the place to exatnine their actings. 4. The said country is not only thin peopled in generall but the proportion of English and Protestants is smaller here than in 1nost parts of Ireland ; for in ye said three Ba~"onies of Kerry, consisting of Thirteen Parishes, there are not at the time tenn Protestant fan1ilies in Eleven of the said Thirteen parishes, that is to say, not above one in 150 families of the Papists, as may appear by PAPERS. 185 the Collector of Hearth Moneys for the said Parishes for ye said countrey, nor were the other two parishes better furnished till ,vithin these four yeares Sir William Petty erected Iron Works in them. 5. The countrey ,vas, by the last Po,vers that subdued it, laid wast for many years, soe as it was death for any man, woman, or childe to be seen in it. Neither, since the Militia hath been settled all over the Kingdom, hath there been any notice taken of this place, either to protect it by part of the Army or by a Militia of it's own, even from an enemy's long-boat, which with 40 ~lus­ queteers n1ay do ,vhat they please with this country. Nor at this time of speciall danger is there a garrison in any other part of the County of Kerry­ nor since the suspension of the Presidencey [ of Munster] are the forces ,vhich ,vere here under any command that's clearly understood. 6. From the year 1657 to the year 1668 It is manifest that there hath been a strange destruction of woods, and vast numbers of Pipe, Hogshead and Barrell staves exported, yet such ,vas the universall Confederacy of the Irish in this particular, that though they are all probably guilty, yet not one 1nan can be convicted of "\Yhat many hundreds must needs be guilty. Besides many 111alefactors have fled into this countrey, either to hide or shipp themselves a,vay. Nor do the country people, for fear of their lives or burning of their houses, dare refuse to entertain such persons and other soldiers against ,vhom there are Express statutes in this Kingdom. Nor are there here Justices of the Peace, able to do what is fitting in this matter for one cause or other. 7. The Irish of this country are all branches of a few families, and chiefly of the Sullivans and Carthys-but most of the Sullivans-they having been late Proprietors of most of ye Lands here, as n1ay appear by the Surveys upon record. And t'is certain that the Three Cheif of the Sullivans themselves, namely O'Sullivan More, O'Sullivan Beare, and MacGillicuddie, although neither of them were adjudged Innocent, nor have any benefit under the late Act of Settlement, do nevertheless viis et 1nodis enjoy considerable parts of their Estates, and that ,vithout paying Quit Rent unto His Majestie for ye same as even Innocents are obliged to do, ,vhereby they are enabled to engage great nun1bers of their names and fan1ilies to assist them in such their trespasses and intrusions. Besides the last of these three hath lately acted as Justice of the Peace himself, ,vhilst the English to whom these Lands are passed in Certificate 186 M'GILLYCUDDY cannot legally come by them, Patents having been stopped from passing upon such Certificates. 8. The greatest part of these Lands are by a mere misunderstanding of the survey, contrary to the intention of the Explanatory Act, severall of His ltia- · jestie's Decrees in the Exchequer, and against common sense itself, chardged ,vith tenn ti1nes more Quit Rent than ye Lands ,vere ·worth at the time of ye :first chardging of Quit Rents, ,vhich hath occasioned many Pursuivant · seizures and Liverys to issue against this countrey; A.11 which have taken little effect by reason it was impossible to pay what was required : But have occa­ sioned many violences and illegal actions by several! persons [and] was ye reason of the first generall evill aforementioned, that is to say, of the countrey's being infested with enemys shipping and their being tempted to favour Pickaroons in the remoteness and fastness of the countrey. It's situation upon ye ocean; and ye 111ultitude of it's creeks and harbours; The poverty, thinness, & insol­ vency of the people, as also their confederates ill ,vill towards those ,vho have gotten their lands, together with the plenty of cattle which are a refreshment to such shipping ; And lastly the fair excuses they can make for their so doing, as that they ,vere surprised at their fishing and forced to ransom themselves ,vith a little refreshment, &c . .. A.. nd the reason of the other generall evills, vizt. the baffiing and eluding of ye la,vs & l\iagistracy, are ye aforementioned irresponsibleness of ye people both in their bodyes and goods to ans,ver La,ves,-The multitude & confederacy of the Transgressors too many to be punished,-The stopping of Patents upon Certificates, whereof the old Proprietors doe and their adhearents doe take ad­ vantage ; And lastly the exacting of more Quit Rents than can be paid, or than the intention of the same Tequires, and the not settling of the same for all in general!, as hath been done in many particular cases and those not the hardest, ,vhich hath necessitated and provoked persons concerned to use extraordinary shifts for their naturall preservation :

For Ren1edy of all ,vhich is humbly offered as follo-\veth :

l. That the ,vays of the countrey be mended which (although it seems a vast and monstrous undertaking) yet it hath appeared feasible by an effectual experience of this present yeare. P.A.PERS. 187

2. That the owners of the lands in these baronies might be called upon to erect Manors for ye use of ye people in their small suits.

3. That there be above one hundred English Protestants in these three Baronies able to bear arn1s, and above thirty of them able and expe­ rienced souldiers.

4. That ye said English men, with as many more of ye best affected Irish, may be formed into a Troope ofDragoones and a Company of Foote to defend ye countrey from foreigners, and that the severall fisheries being restored and encouraged, the fishermen now belonging to them, which be about two hundred, and their boates, which may be thirty, may be able to deale ,vith the enemy's long-boates before they can land, as the ~Iilitia above mentioned may do afterwards.

5. It is humbly offered, for ye strengthening of ye said militia and contain­ ing the most suspected part of them in their due obedience, that son1e central place of great natural! strength, not above thirty miles distant from the remotest part of the countrey, nor from the River Shannon on the one side and Timoleague Bay on the other side, be thought upon, to be manned "\\7.th a competent garrison for that purpose, which may by the equal distance be equally distant from the whole West of Ireland, there being such places.

6. That the Ministers, Churches, & Church,vardens, with their necessary appurtenances may be had and maintained, to prevent· the contempt of the Protestant party and their Religion, and also their degenerating into Irish and Papist.

7. That all possible endeavours be used to encourage the English and Protestant party to live in the parts especially about the Sea Coasts, upon account of the :fishing ; As also in some one Central inland part of the "~hole upon some proper manufacture, so as _instead of 150 Irish families for one of English now in the Eleven Parishes aforementioned, there may not be above Six for One, as in ye two other Parishes already planted by Sir William Petty. 188 M'GILLYCUDDY

8. That, by this encouragement of the Ei,.glish, at least two or three English men of good estate and reputation may be enable to reside in this countrey, who by acting as Justices of the Peace may break the practices ·of Idlers and Cosherers; And dividing the whole people into tithings of families as heretofore, may Cause the Chief of each tithing to be bound for the good behaviour of each person in it, and each for the other and for their forthcoming on occasion; and that Constables of Hundreds, & Sheriffs bailiffs, may (if possible) all be English.

9. That the stop upon passing Letters Patents upon Certificates be removed ; and Consequently that the Old Proprietors may be dispos­ sessed in form of Law, and their numerous Kindred and followers not engaged to assist their usurpation any longer.

10. That the Quit Rents of this countrey may be settled according to the intention of y0 Law, the express words whereof are that it ought to be so moderate as to consist with the encouragement of Plantation : More­ over, besides the ordinary meanes above mentioned, It is humbly inti­ mated the difficulty of regulating, civilizing, and securing this countrey may neede and desire some extraordinary helpes and consideration.

Lastly. We humbly conceive that the rest of the County of Kerry and parte of the County of Corke are more or less in the same condition · with the place above said, and require the same remedy ; A.11 which is humbly submitted by Your Excellency's Most obedient servants Herbert.

The Lineage of the M·Gillycuddies from the Third to the Seventeenth Centuries, co1npiled by }li'illiani M. Hennessy, Esq., M.R.I.A.

1. The celebrated Prince Oilill Olum, from wl1om the family of MacGillic~ddy, in common with most of the other distinguished families of Munster, is descended, is represented by the old Irish genealogists as the 43rd • in direct descent from Milidh, or Milesius. His death is entered in the Anna.ls of the Four Masters under the year A.D. 234, where he is called King of Munster. His father, Mogh Nuaghad, waged a fierce war against the Irish Monarch, Conn of the Hundred Battles, whom he compelled to agree to a division of Ireland. The historians assert that the boundary line extended from Dublin to Clarin's Bridge, near Galway. All to the south of this line was called Leth-Moghci, or "Mogh's half,'' and the nortl1ern part was called Leth-Chu,inn, or "Conn's half." And these names aTe still applied to north and south by the Irish-speaking population.* This prince seen1s to have married Sadhbh (pron. Soyv), or Sally, the daughteT of Conn of the Hundred Battles, his father·s opponent, and had by her seven sons. He is said to have had twelve sons by other ,vomen. His sons by his ,vife ,vere, 1. Eoghan Caen1h (or " Eugene the Mild"), other,vise called Eoghan M6r, fron1 ,vhon1 the "Eugenian"t fan1ilies of

* The Irish historians usscrt that Oilill Olum, by his last will and testament, directed that the sovereignty of 1Iunstcr should be alternately enjoyed by the descendants of his two oldest sons, Eoghan 1t16r and Cormac Cas, that is to say, by the Eugenian ancl Dal-Cassian families; but although the co1npact seems to have been observed for some time, the rule of "might is right" ultimately prevailed. t The principal septs of the Eugenian race were the Mn.c Carthies, O'Callaghans, O'Sullivan s, O'Donoghoes, O'Donovans, and O'Mahonys of Munster. 20 190 M'GILLYCUDDY

Munster are descended; 2. Cor1nac Cas, fro1n ,vhom the O'Briens and the principal fan1ilies of Thomoncl derive their origin ; 3. Cian, the ancestor of various tribes scattered throughout the north of Ireland, the nan1e of one tribe of ,vhich (Cianachta) is still preserved in that of the Barony of Keenaght, County Londonderry; 4. Dichorb ; 5. Dubh­ mearchon; 6. Mogh Corb; and 7. Tadhg, or Teige.

2. Eoghan, or " Eugene the Great," ,vho is also called Eochaidh Taebh-fada, or Eochaius cle longo latere, as O'Flaherty correctly interprets the name (Ogygia, p. 331). Eoghan and his brothers assisted their maternal uncle, Art, son of Conn of the Hundred Battles, in the celebrated battle of J\1agh Mucraimhe (pron. Moy Mucr·eevy), a plain near .A..thenry, in the County of Gal,vay, ,vhich v.ras fought, in the year .A...D. 218 according to the Annals of Tighernach. 'rhe opponent of King ~t was Lughaidh (pron. Loo-ey) Mac Con, "\'rho had been expelled from Ireland, but who is said to have returned ,Yith a band of foreign adventurers to avenge his injuries. Lugha Lagha, the brother of Oilill Olum, incensed by the marriage of the latter ,vith the daughter of his father's enemy, took the side of I\1:ac Con in the battle, and slew the Monarch .Art. Of the legiti1nate sons of Oilill Olum ,vho were engaged on this occasion, only one escaped, namely the second son, Cormac Oas, the ancestor of the Dal-Cais, or principal fan1ily of Thomond.$ Eoghan Mor married Moncha, the daughter of Dil, a celebrated Druid, and had a son,

3. Fiacha Muillethan, or " Fiachus Latus Vertex," ,vho succeeded to the sovereignty of Munster on the death of his uncle, Oormac Cas, about the year 260. He ,vas the conten1porary of Cormac Mac .A.rt, Monarch of

* The Boole of Leinster, a MS. of the twelfth century in the Library of Trinity College, Dublin, contains (fol. 105, bb.) a curious poem, ascribed to Oilill Olum, in which he laments the death of his sons.

Ireland, who endeavoured to exact heavy tributes from the Muns.term.en. His pretensions being opposed, Cormac invaded Munster with a large army; but on reaching the place then called Druim Damhgaire, now Knocklong, in the County of Limerick, lie ,vas encountered by the .army of Munster, under the command of Fiacha., defeated in a pitched battle.,* and obliged to make restitution for the injuries caused by his invasion. This Fiacha resided chiefly at Cnoc-Rafann., now Knock­ graffon, near the River Suir, in the present County of Tipperary, where his large moat, ,vith extensive enti--enchments, is still visible. In the Book of lVIunster (lVIS. R. I. A.) it is stated that Fiacha l\iuillethan had three sons, viz. :-Oilill Flann-m6r, Oilill Flann-beg, and Conall Eachluath; but this seems a mistake, as Conall Eachluath was the fifth in descent fron1 Corn1ac Cas, and the father of Cas, a quo "Dal-Cais.~' Oilill Flan11-1u6r, the elder, having no issue, adopted his brother, Oilill Flann-beg, as hi~ son, Vlho became King of 1\f unster, in tuTn, after the death of Tu~ogh Corb, son of Cormac Cas.

4. Oilill Flann-beg was King of 11unster during thirty year.s, and \Vas slain in the battle of Coralln, in the County of Sligo, by the men of Con­ naught, assisted by Fothadh Canonn, son of Mac Con, the ancestor of the O'Driscolls. He had f,)ur sons~ namely, 1. Lughaidh, the progenitor of Eugenian bra.t"'lches-i.e. the MacCarthys, O'Sullivans., MacGillicuddys, O'Callaghans, and their correlatives; 2.

5. Lughaidh, the first-named son of Oilill Flann-beg, was the third son in order of birth, and had a son called

6. Core Mac Lughdach, or Core, son of Lughaidh, King of Munster, "Those first name was Conall, and who received the name of" Core" from au injury to his ear by burning, regarding which a curious ]egend is told in the Book of Lecan, fol. 200, a. Core is stated to have been one of the three kings who, in conjunction with three saints and three poets, assisted St. Patrick in compiling the Senchus Mor, ,vhich event is referred by the Irish Annals to the year A.D. 4:38. He is asserted to have been exiled by his father to Scotland, where he married }✓loner- ~ 0 fionn (literally " Fair Locks"), daughter of Feradhach, King of the Picts, by whom he hadfour sons, viz. :-I. Corc,or Cairbre Cruithnechain (Carbrury the Pictish), from whon1 are descended the Eoghanacht, or Eugenians, of Magh Geirgin, in Scotland ; II. Maine Lea111hna, fron1 whom the tribes of Le-v-en in Scotland are derived; III. Cairbre Luachra, a quo Eoghanacht Locha Lein, i.e. the O'Donoghues of Loch Lein ; and IV. Cronan, the ancestor of the Pictish tribe anciently settled in Meath. Besides these Core is reported to have had eight other sons, including his eldest son, and successor, N adfraech, the ancestor of the Eoghanacht Chaisil, " Eugenians of Cashel," 1~.e. the MacCarthys, O'Sullivans, &c. ; and of the Eoghanacht Glennomnach, or family of O'Keeffe, and other Eugenian branches settled in the County of Limerick, around Knockany. Another of his sons, nan1ed Cas, ,vas the ancestor of th..e Eugenians of Raithlinn and Ui-Echach, or the po,verful family of O'Mahony, ,vhich anciently occupied a large tract of country in the west of the present County of Cork. King Core is represented as the first ,vho established Cashel, called from him Cathai1,. Chu-ire orCorc'sCity,as the chief residence of the Kings of Munster,_who previous to his time lived principally in the County PAPERS. 193

of Limerick. The legendary accounts state that Core's attention was first directed to Cashel by the reports of some swine herds who observed the frequent congregation of angels to the eminence on which the Rock of Cashel now stands; and this was subsequently regarded as having been a sign of the advent of St. Patrick to the place. Core was succeeded by his son, 7. Nadfraech, I(ing of Niunster, who had four sons, viz. :-1. Aengus; 2. Oilill; 3. Eochaidh; and 4. Feidhlimidh (pron. Felimy). Of these the most remarkable ,vas-

8. Aengus Mac Nadfraech, ,vhose mother was a British princess. He is cele­ brated as having been the first Christian King of lVIunster. His faith and baptism he received at the hands of our great Apostle, St. Patrick. In connexion ,vith the ceremony of the baptism of Aengus, an amusing incident is recorded in the lives of St. Patrick (see Dr. Todd's St. Pat-r-iclc, p. 4GS), in ,vhich we are told that the saint, without perceiving it, allowed the lower end of his crozier, ,vhich was sharp and pointed, to pierce the king's foot; but A.engus, imagining that this was a neces­ sary part of the cere1nony, endured the torture ,vithout permitting hin1self to utter the slightest expression of pain ; and it ,vas not until the ceren1ony ,vas over that the fact ,vas discovered. King A.engus, or .lEneas, is stated to have had twenty-four sons and as many daughters, the one-half of whon1 he devoted to religion, at the request of St. Patrick. His ,vife ,vas Eithne, called " Uathach, or the hateful," daughter of Crin1hthann (pron. Crfffan), son of Enna Cenn­ selagh, King of Leinster, the ancestor of the Kavana.ghs and the principal families of that province. Aengus and his ,vife were slain in the battle of Cill-Osnadha, no,v Kellisto,vn, in the Barony of Forth, and County of Carlo,v, A.D. 489, by Illann, son of Dunlaing, and by l\I uir­ chertagh (or Murtagh) 1Iac Erca, after\Yards 1fonarch of Ireland. In a stanza, quoted in the" Chronicum Scotorum'' (AD. 487), commemo­ rating the event, he is described as-

" .A. branch of the great spreading tree, .A.engus the praiseworthy, son of N adfraech." 194 M'GILLYCUDDY His eldest son and successor was- 9. Feidhlimidh (pron. Felimy), of whom little is known. He left a son, _

10. Crimhthann (pron. Griffan, and corruptly Griffin), who had a son,

11. Aedh Dubh, or '' Hugh the Black," two of whose sons became kings, viz. :-Failbhe Flann, the direct ancestor of the MacCarthys, who was King of Munster from A.D. 627 to A.D. 636, and

12. Finghin (pron. Fjnneen, anglice Florence), ,vho was King of Desmond, or South Munster, from A.D. 604 to his death in 619. The ancient records at present existing contain hardly any notices of the career of this individual, who left a son,

13. Sechnasach (or Shaughnessy), whose son and successor, but not in the sovereignty of Desmond, was

14. Fiachra ctn ghaisgedh, or Fiachra "of the Valour," of whon1 nothing further is known than that he left a son,

15. Flann Roba, or Flann of the Robe, the father of

16. Dubhindracht (pron. Duff-in.rat), ,vhose eldest son ,vas

1 7. Murchadh, or :JYiurrough, the father of

18. Echtighern (pron. Aghtee1'·n), the father of

19. Maelughra (pTon. 3fmltira), ,vhose eldest son was

20. Suilobhan, or Suldubhan, from whom the name of O'Sullivan is derived, and who flourished about the year A.D. 950. The Bardic historians have invented the following legend to account for the name of O'Sullivan :- The nan1e of Suldubhan, they say, ,vas Eochaidh. On one occasion an Albanian (or Scotch) druid, called Labhan (pron. Lavan), who was an illustrious poet, ca~e to make the visitation of Erinn., and on pro-­ ceeding to the house of Eochaidh, was received by him with the most PAPERS. 195

profuse hospitality, and presented with many precious gifts. But to put Eochaidh's generosity to the severest test, Labhan requested hi~ to give him his eye. (Eochaidh had but one eye, the second having. been destroyed in battle). To this sacrifice Eochaidh consented, moved thereto by his regard for hospitality, and by the fear of incurring the druid's satire in case of refusal. The ancient Irish entertained the most superstitious fear of poetic satire, the power of which they believed capable of actually making the earth sterile and the rivers unfruitful. The transaction having come to the ears of St. Ruadhan, or Rodhanus, of Lothra, in the County of Tipperary (or rather to ·his successor; for St. Ruadhan lived in the 6th century-i.e., four centuries before the time of Eochaidh-the saint prayed that the covetous Labhan's eyes might be transferred to the head of Eochaidh; and the request being granted, the lucky subject of this prodigy was afterwards called Suil-Labhain (i.e. "Labhan~s eyes"), corruptly "Sullivan." But the alias reading '' Suldubhan," probably represents the more correct form of the name, ,{hich would in this case mean "hook-eyed," an epithet perhaps indicative of some deformity in the person to whom it ,vas applied. Suldubhan had a son, who was called

21. Lorean, a name now generally anglicised Lawrence, whose son,

22. Buadhach (lit. Victor, or Victorioi£s), of Ath-cr6, was the first person that ever bore the name of O'Sullivan. He was the father of

23. Aedh, or Hugh, O'Sullivan, the father of

24. Cathal, or Charles, O'Sullivan, who had a son,

25. Buadhach (or Victor) O'Sullivan, the father of

26. Mac-Raith (lit. "son of prosperity"), now written" Magrath,'' whose eldest son was 27. Domhnall Mor, or "Daniel the Great," O'Sullivan, of Carrig-Finvoy, in Carbury, county Cork, who was the common ancestor of the families. of 196 M'GILLYCUDDY

O'Sullivan l\fore, O'Sullivan Beare, Mac Gillacuddy, Mac Crohan, Mac Fineen Duff, and MacLawrence. His eldest son was 28. Gilla-Mochuda, or '' Servus Mochudii," from \Yhom is derived the name of Mac.Gilla-Mochada, or MacGillacuddy. Various absurd stories have been invented to account for the origin of the name, but the following seems the real origin. A distinguished member of the O'Sullivan family, Ailinn, ·or Allen O'Sullivan, who had been Bishop of Cloyne, was subsequently transferred to the See of Lismore, where he died in the year 1253. The founder of Lismore, St. Carthach, better known as St. Jfochada, who died in 653, was a native of the district (Kerry) to which Bishop O'Sullivan belonged; and thus, both as his countyman and su~cessor, the latter naturally regarded St. ntiochada with peculiar respect. To the bishop, consequently, may be ascribed the introduction of the practice about this time adopted in the O'Sullivan family, of pla~ing their children, at baptisn1, under the tutelage of St. Mochuda. Hence it is that the na1ne of Gilla-:Thiochuda is of such frequent occur­ rence in the pedigrees of the O'Sullivans. Thjs Gilla-Mochuda, had a son calied 29. Dunlaing, ,vhose eldest son was Muirchertach (the direct ancestor of Eoghan Ruadh O'Sullivan, ,vho died in Dublin, in the year 1687), and ,vhose second son was 30.

* He appears to have been the MacGillicudc1y mentioned in tho Annals of the Four .1.lfasters, under the year 15G3, as having slain Donnell O'Sullivan Beare. Regarding the use of the name of Mac Gillicuddy, it is statccl in a i\IS. history of I{crry, in the Royal I11sh .Acadcn1y, written about the year 1750, that "most of said family, till Cromwell's time, called themselves O'Sulli\ans, but the head of the family was still called Mac Gillacoc1c1y; but since that time most of 'em eall themselves }l'Gillacoddys, but such as go abroad, as tho learn.eel Rev.

In 17 43 Cornelius had thoughts of 1narrying a Roman Catholic, as appears from a letter which he received from Redmond Keatinge, a lawyer, ,vho1n he consulted. In this letter, dated fron1 Dublin, January the 7th, 17 43, 1Ir. Keatinge thus advised the McGillycuddy :-" I am of opinn, yt you can't w'th safety marry a Papist. Such marriage is attended with very many legal disabilities, such as to be deemed a Papist, unless the lady shall conform ,vithin ye year and day after ye n1arriage. But I do not think yt such marriage, tho' she should not conform, could affect yr present estate. There is a bill brought in this session to annull all future marriages bet,veen Protestants and Papists, but v,hether it ,vill pass into a law, I know not as yet.'' The McGillycuddy see1ns to have adopted the advice of his counsellor.
