Notes: 

Beginish Island: total "lots" [my choice of word, not Griffiths]described: 4[with lots of a, b, c type subdivisions]; total area of island= 217.1.32a.r.p.; Under "lot" 2c, Stephen Fitzgerald, elsewhere on the island

alwayslisted as the Immediate Lessor, is listed as the occupier (of anoffice) andhis immediate lessor is Nathaniel C. Bland.  Mr. Bland is listed as thesoleimmediate lessor of Lamb Island, Church Island and Foughel Island.  Ithinkthis is a pretty good indicator that he probably was 'the man' ofBeginishIsland, too.  Nathaniel Bland and Maurice O'Connell are the two primaryimmediate lessors listed for Letter.

     I think this [the Beginish Island listing] is an excellent exampleof thetiered lessors/tenants found in Ireland in this period.  Griffith'sValuationmade no attempt to find the actual OWNER of the land, just theoccupiers and"immediate" lessors -- occupiers often rented out their lands, andimmediatelessors often were in fact renters or land agents.  I think theMcCrohans onBeginish dealt more immediately (not meaning to overuse the word) withStephenFitzgerald, but in actuality were paying Mr. Bland.  Or, I could be

wrong :).Just a thought.     Also on Beginish Island: you said there were presently two familiesliving there?  There were 6 houses with possible additional buildingspresentin 1852.  Send me your snail mail address, and I'll make a copy of mypage ofnotes (a mess, but it has a few more details that are awkward to fit in

here -if the above wasn't awkward enough) and send to you (it includes all theBeginish-ers, which you may be interested in someday, if not now).     Interestingly enough, unlike Co. Roscommon which was typed up onthe copyI'd been reading, Co. Kerry is still in a handwritten form.

I've come across a third book by MacLysaght, titled "More IrishFamilies",published after his death, I believe.  I thought the following blurbson somesurnames similar to the Creans (by sound, by Gaelic, or by name-changesourancestors made in spellings) might be of interest.  I'm sending the

MacCrohan,Crehan, Creighton one separately (it's long).  These are directtranscriptions

from the book:

O'Cowan/MacCoan:  Cowan is an alternative form of two surnames dealtwith inIrish Families [his earlier book] - see Coyne (p. 98) and MacKeown (p.200).Where it occurs in Connacht records it is a substitute for the formerbut nownearly all families of this Hy Fiachrach sept are called Coyne or Coen. In

modern times Cowan is (apart, of course, from the metropolitan area ofDublin)almost confined to Ulster.  In that province -- at any rate in the Orielcountry --it is a modernized from of MacCone, a name which was very

numerousin Co. Armagh in the 17th c. as evidenced by the Harth Money Rolls andalso by

the exhaustive analysis of Co. Armagh surnames publ. by George Patersonand byMichael Clancy in Seanchas Ardmhacha. .... [p. 65-66]Creedon, Creed:  Creedon, a west Cork name, is now called O Criodain[sorryfor lack of gaelic accents] in Irish (e.g. Tomas Criadain, the 19th c.GaelicIrish scribe) but formerly and properly it was Mac Criodain.  Itappears inthe late 16th c. Fiants dealing with Co.s Cork and Tipperary asMacCredon &MacCridan, in 1564 in the person of Donagh MacCrydon of Swynome, Co.

Tipperary, harper... Creedon has been abbreviated to Creed to aconsiderableextent - even as early as 1659 when Francis Creed was a titulado in theparishof Kilquan, Co. Limerick.  About that time the name occurs as MacCreedin theIrish army lists preserved in the Ormond Manuscript ....[p. 67]

Cronin & Croneen [p. 69]: [rather than repeat the long blurb, just takemyword for it that there's definitely no connection there](Mac) Crowne:  The name Crowne, associated with Manorhamilton andadjacent

areas, is a form of Croghan (q.v.), a name chiefly found in Co.Roscommon,alias Croan.  Croghan is listed in the "Census" of 1659 as a principalIrishname in the barony of Ballintubber, Co. Roscommon.  In the Fiants wefindMacCrowane in Co. Roscommon; Brian Keogh macBrien MacCroughen occurs ina

Fiant on 1591 with a number of O'Beirnes in Mayo, near Co. Roscommon;andagain in 1601 there is Croghan "alias O'Beirne," which, taken inconjunctionwith their location, suggests that the MacCroghans or Crownes were abranch ofthe O'Beirne sept.  Woulfe gives MacConchruachain [sorry for lack ofIrish

accents] as the Gaelic-Irish form which is corroborated by a Fiantentry of1582 in which MacEncroghan appears as a Co. Roscommon name. [Interesting,no?!] [p. 70]I thought all that would be interesting to our Crown/Croghan/MacCroghanreaders ... Don't forget to read the next post on the MacCroghans for

Hello folks,The monument to which Eve referred to in a recent post, is indeed Sligo Abbey. I have a photocopy of a booklet published by the IrishGovernment on the Dominican Friary of Sligo, which according to the booklet is "generally (but incorrectly)  known as Sligo Abbey". If this booklet is still available for sale, it should be available from the Government Publications Sale Office, Molesworth Street, Dublin 2. It may be possible to contact them via the Irish Government Web site at www.irlgov.ie.The booklet describes the history of the Friary from the 13th century onwards. "It was founded in 1252 or 1253 by Maurice FitzGerald, 2nd baron of Offaly, grandson of the first Maurice FitzGerald, who landedin Ireland with Raymond le Gros in 1169, and grandfather of the 1st Earlof Kildare."It goes on to state that Maurice may be regarded as the founder ofSligo town. It states that the Friary was occupied most of the time by the

Friars until 1760. In the intervening period, it had a turbulant history, being ransacked and commandeered on a few occasions. In 1760, the community moved elsewhere.It has the following reference to Crean:

"There is an interesting collection of 16th and 17th century monuments in the church. The earliest dated monument is the O'Craian or Creantomb of 1506 in a recess in the north wall of the nave, jst west of the rood-screen. It has the remains of a fine traceried canopy, below which is the tomb chest, similar to the high altar in general appearance but with figures in relief on the arcaded panels of the front. (The Crucifixion in the centre, with the Virgin Mary and St. John on either side; at the left-hand end is a friar, probaly St. Dominic, next towhom is a figure robed and crowned, carrying a sword, with a small circle on the breast, possibly the wheel of St Catherine, the third figure onthis side being a figure (? female) in a long gown secured by a belt,

carrying a staff with a pear-shaped end, possibly a pilgrim; at the far right is an archbishop holding a processional cross, with his hand raised in benediction, next to whom is St. Peter with the keys, the third position being occupied by St. Michael the Archangel, who can be recognised by his wings, his cross-bearing shield and his uplifted sword). The Latin inscription, along the upper margin of the top slabof

the tomb chest, is incomplete, but the date (1506) and the name Cormac O'Craian can be read: his wife's name is less certain, but it may be Johanna Nic Aengusa (or Ennis)."

"There are also several early 17th century armorial stones, forming portions of monuments now destroyed. The earliest of these, dated 1616, is built into the recess of the O'Craian tomb and bears the arms of the same family (argent, a wolf rampant sable, between these hearts gules) impaled with those of French (ermine, a chevron sable). The initials A.C. and E.F seem to be those of Andrew Crean and his wife. This may be the same Andrew Crean of Annagh to whom Elinor, Countess of Desmond, O'Connor Sligo's widow, left £100 in 1636. The hearts in the Crean arms and the inscription on the lower edge of the stone:

Cor mundum crea in me Deus et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis

'Create a clean heart in me, O God, and renew a right spirit within my bowels' probably constitute a punning allusion to the Irish word for heart (croidhe), the the sound of which resembles that of the name Crean.

Another stone, dated 1625, bears the Crean arms impaled witha rampant lion, apparantly for Jones. Across the base is carved two curious rhyme:

Wee two are one by his decree

That raigneth from eternity

Who first erected have these stones

Wee robucre Crean Elicia Jones"

 

I don't know if the above confuses us all further or if it helps. It certainly suggests that the O'Craian family were of high standing asthe tomb is of similar size to an O'Connor tomb in the Friary. These arethe O'Connor Sligo family who were lords of Sligo for centuries and wereone of the leading families of North Connacht.

I have another source which refers to the Crean mechants from Sligo. It is a book entitled "The Diocese of Achonry 1689-1818: A Hidden Church", by Fr Liam Swords. It was published last year - ISBN 1-8560-7204-5.

While the title might suggest that ti concentrates on the Church, it also goes into great detail on the lives of people and politics during this period. I would highly recommend it for anyone with roots inSligo.

In case you don't know, the Diocese of Achonry comprises one-third of Co. Sligo, one-fifth of Co. Mayo and one parish (Ballaghaderreen) from Co. Roscommon. It covers the Baronies of Gallen, Leyny, Costello,

Corran and Coolavin.

 

In one place in the book, it refers to an Act of 1704 which requiredall Catholic priests to register. In order to register, each priest had to have 2 sureties or guarantors, for £50 each. "Two members of the Crean family of Sligo, John and Stephen, were also guarantors. John, a merchant, gave a surety for James O'Connell of Ballisodare and Stephen, who may also have been a merchant, was Thady Higgins' second guarantor.

John Crean and John Lamey gave sureties also for priests of their own diocese of Elphin. ........

The Creans, John and Stephen, belonged to an old and distinguishedSligo family which ranked second only to the O'Connor Sligo family. Their residence was known as O'Crean's Castle and between the 15th and 17th

centuries they were a family of great wealth and high station and foremost among the merchant princes of that era. They lost much oftheir property as a result of the 1641 rebellion.".

It gives the book "Ballysadare and Kilvarnet" by O'Rorke, pages 476-7as a reference for this information. 

 

All of the above strongly suggests that the Crean/O'Craian family were of very high standing in Sligo and were also staunch Catholic families.Hope this helps your research.Best regards Michael

MacCrohan, Croghan; (O) Crehan; Creighton -- MacLysaght's take on it alltranscribed below from "More Irish Families" p. 68-9:

MacCrohan, Croghan; (O) Crehan; Creighton :  These are three distinctsurnamesof quite different origin, but liable to be confused.  MacCrohan, withwhichthe prefix Mac is almost always retained, is a Kerry name, the septbeing abranch of the O'Sullivans with whom they were regularly associated: they wererecorded, for example, as providing 40 men for O'Sullivan's army in1596.Their seat was the castle of Letter, near Cahirciveen.  In the penaltimesthey were reduced to obscurity in Ireland, but as exiles they rose toprominence in Spain.  As late as 1657 the MacCriohins are included in astatepaper of the day among the Munster families "plotting for trouble"; andin thenext generation we find Denis MacCroghan an officer in O'Donovan'sregiment ofJames II's army, while Jeremiah Croghan was in Creagh's regiment.  Two

MacCroghans of Kerry were subsequently attainted as Jacobites.     Croghan, however, is listed both by Matheson and Woulfe as adistinctname, the latter giving MacConchruachan as the form in Irish and

explaining itas "son of the hound of Croghan":  Croghan, the ancient royal seat ofConnact,is a place in County Roscommon, to which county he assigna this minorsept.     Older anglicized forms of the Kerry name as found in the Fiants,MonasticExtents etc., are MacCriohin, MacCruhen, MacCrughen; MacCriffon,

however,which would be an approximate phonetic rendering of the IrishMacCriomhthiann,occurs in the Fiants only in County Wexford and some other LeinsterCounties.The name of the Kerry seanchaidhe, Thomas O Criomthainn, so well knownfor hisAn tOileanach (the Islandman) is so printed in that and other books. As thisis always a Mac not an O name, this form is remarkable.     The MacCrohans of Kerry sometimes appear also as MacCrehan, e.g.,in apatent of James I wherein the chief is called MacCrehan alias

O'Sullivan.Crehan, however, normally without a prefix in modern times, is entirelydifferent, being usually O Creachain in Irish:  this sept belonged tothe HyFiachrach group and was located in the barony of Tirawley, County Mayo,itsmodern representatives being almost all found in that county and County

Galway.  Another Crehan, O Croidheain of counties Sligo and Donegal, isdealtwith in Irish Families (see Crean) [a reference to his first book].     All this, however, does not exhaust the possibilities ofconfusion, for OCriochain of Ardstraw, County Tyrone, the name of the Oriel sept, hasalsobeen anglicized Crehan; but, in accordance with the unfortunatetendency,especially in  Ulster, to adopt English names approximating sound toearlierand more Irish forms, Creighton has largely superseded Crehan in thenorth.Indeed it was common in Donegal and Tyrone in the mid-seventeenthcentury asthe Hearth Money rolls show.  Creaton is another symptom of it. Creighton isalso a variant of the Scottish surname Crichton.  It appears asCreichtown

among the Scottish applicants for lands at the time of the Plantation ofUlster.  Creighton is the surname of the Earls of Erne.  John Creighton(1768-1827) who introduced the practice of vaccination into Ireland was

one ofthis family:  he was born at Athlone.  Edward Creighton (1820-1874) wasatelegraph pioneer in the United States. William Croghan (1752-1822) wasamajor in the U.S. revolutioanry army in 1778 and his son, Col. GeorgeCroghan,was also a distinguished American soldier.  Another Irish-American,GeorgeCroghan (c. 1710-1782), was a most successful Indian agent.  The famousAmerican actress Ada Rehan (1860-1916) was actually a Crehan by name. She wasborn in Limerick.  (see Crowne).___________________

Pat R. kindly explained to me (and far better than I ever could, evenif I hadknown) what the 1796 Spinning Wheel Index of Names is, and I quote:

"As I understand it, the Linen manufacturers, in order to encourage theincreasedplanting of flax throughout the country, promised a spinning wheel toeachfarmer who would turn over an acre of land to flax.  The advantage thatthislist offers is the naming of tenants rather than just land owners at atime

that is not covered by other records.

"The All Ireland Heritage Series Edition of the Alphabetical Index totheNames contained in the Premium Entitlement lists of the Trustees of theLinen and Hempen Manufacturers of Ireland/ AKA the 1796 Spinning WheelList." The printed record covers approved claims for 89,506 spinningwheels(or equivalent units). Since the average award per person was less thantwowheels, the list includes at least 50,000 individuals.

Dear Fellow Researchers,This was emailed to me from another researcher in Canada.  Enjoy!

YOU KNOW YOU'RE TAKING GENEALOGY TOO SERIOUSLY IF ...

You are the only person to show up at the cemetery research partywith a shovel.

To put the "final touches" on your genealogical research, you'veasked all of your closest relatives to provide DNA samples.

You were instrumental in having "non-genealogical use of thegenealogy room copy machine" classified as a federal hate crime.

Your house leans slightly toward the side where your genealogicalrecords are stored.

You decided to take a two-week break from genealogy, and the U.S.Postal Office immediately laid off 1,500 employees.

Out of respect for your best friend's unquestioned reputation forhonesty and integrity, you are willing to turn off that noisysurveillancecamera while she reviews your 57 genealogical research notebooks in your

home. The armed security guard, however, will remain.

You plod merrily along "refining" your recently published familyhistory, blissfully unaware that the number of errata pages now farexceeds the number of pages in your original publication.

During an ice storm and power outage, you ignore the pleas of yourshivering spouse and place your last quilt around that 1886 photographofdear Uncle George.

The most recent document in your "Missing Ancestors" file is a 36-page contract between you and Johnson Billboard Advertising Company.

Ed McMahon, several t.v. cameras and an envelope from PublishersClearing House arrive at your front door on Super Bowl Sunday, and thefirst thing you say is, "Are you related to the McMahons of Ohio?"

"A Loving Family" and "Financial Security" have moved up to secondand third, respectively, on your list of life's goals, but still lag farbehind "Owning My Own Microfilm Reader."

A magical genie appears and agrees to grant your any one wish, andyou ask that the 1890 census be restored.

Warm regards,Joan Ogg
