This page is a work in progress and its purpose is to try to establish the connection between Heaphy and the Tottenham family.  An early marriage connection between 1660 to 1680 between Heaphy and Tottenham or Atkin family, puts John Heaphy, son of Daniel Heaphy as a cousin of Edward Tottenham, taken from the will extracts of Edward Tottenham (1659 – 1711) provides the name of Edward’s cousin as John Heaphy. Since the first two members of the Tottenham family to arrive in Ireland were Barnabas and John, and there are no further known Tottenham members to have existed up to this point, it could be that that the Heaphy connection came through on the marriage connections with Tynte or Atkin. 

Further update [2026] on the Jackson family of Glenbeg and Ballyduff, Waterford, shows that a Jane Tottenham, dau of unknown Tottenham, married John Jackson (b.c1577, of Ballyduff, Lismore) in about 1610. John and Jane had a son, Thomas Jackson, born c1612, who married Anne King in 1634. If this is the case, it opens up that Tottenham had arrived earlier in Ireland before Barnabus and John. 

This new evidence gives the possiblity that other Tottenham members had arrived, but were undocumented in Ireland. Alternatively, the reference to "cousin" in the 17th century could also relate to a wider circle of people, from being a relation to a close personal friend to a valuable member of the household.  

Barnabas Hancock Tottenham is ruled out, as his wife, Martha King Harman is recorded to have had no children with Barnabas, who died within 2 years of his marriage. Therefore it leaves Tynte and Atkin. Below is the investigation for Atkin or at times referred to as Atkins, originated in England and moved to Ireland, Cork and Wexford. Investigation into Tynte or Tent will follow, however from the Atkin family members below, born around 1630 - 1640, the same time as Daniel Heaphy, there are 5 unaccounted for: Anne, Margaret, Catherine, John and Elizabeth Atkin. 

ATKIN

John Atkin (1588 - 1642), son of John Atkin (b. 1570, Somerset, England) and Elizabeth Kere, (b. 1568, Glouchester, England, dau of Edward Kere & Johanna Ann White) was born Somerset, England. The first of the Atkin's to arrive in Ireland. John married Jane Rugge, born Bilbrook, Yorkshire, England, (1592 - 1675) in 1614. John and Jane lived at Polemore, Youghal, Cork. Both buried, Cloynepriest, Cork, Ireland. (Ref: John Reynolds, Geneanet, 2024)

Is Jane Rugge connected to (Lady) Jane Rugge (1475 - 1571 - dau. of Richard Rugge (1445 - 1536) and Margaret Moreton, who married William Molyneux, (Sir William Molyneux, Lord of Sefton and Clifton) Lancashsire, England? A son of Jane Rugge and William Molyneux, named Richard (1510 - 1568) married Eleanor Radcliffe or Ratcliffe, born about 1532 (dau of Alexander Radcliffe & Alice Booth). Richard died in Ireland. Richard and Eleanor had two known children: John (b.1540) married Anne Radcliffe (dau of Richard Radcliffe & Elizabeth Gerrard) and Margaret (B. 1541) married John Warren. 

William Molyneux's grandson, Thomas Molyneux moved to Ireland in 1576. Thomas's son, Daniel Molyneux married Jane Ussher, daughter of Sir William Ussher and Isabella Loftus - Isabella is the daughter of Most Rev. Adam Loftus of Dublin and Jane Purdon - daughter of Adam Purdon and Jane Little (Geni 2024). 

John and Jane Atkin had the following known children: 

i John Atkin (1615 - 1705) born in Minehead, Sommerset, England, married Jeane Rugge (1607 - 1675 - born in Ireland - what relation is Jeane to John Atkin's mother, Jane Rugge?). Both of Polemore, Youghal, Cork, Ireland. The following are listed in the will of John in 1705:

Mary Atkin mentioned in the will of her cousin, Edward Tottenham (1712) and of her grandfather, John Atkin (1705).  

iii Catherine Atkin (1619 - 1661), married John Tottenham (1633 - 1700), of Tottenham Green, Wexford, son of John Tottenham (b.1609, son of John Thomas Tottenham & Agnes Mustell) & Margaret Tynte (b. 1615) and brother to Edward Tottenham (1635 - 1702). 

The Tottenham's (Totnam) originally from Barrington, Cambridge, England, were Quakers (Quaker references) and first settled in Youghal, before moving to Wexford. It was Barnabas Hancock, born 1602, son of Beatrice Tottenham of Barrington, Cambridge (dau of James Tottenham and Agnes Titchmarsh), and John Hancock, who first moved to Ireland, acquiring an estate of Ballyduff, Lismore, Co. Waterford (Ref: Burke's Landed Gentry of Ireland). The estate was Glenbeg, with Glenbeg house being built in 1625, on the lands formerly owned by Sir Walter Raleigh, which were later bought by Sir Richard Boyle, Earl of Cork. Glenbeg house was built as a fortified Jacobean Manor house by Barnabus Tottenham, a retainer for the Earl of Cork (Ref: History of Glenbeg House). Barnabas adopted the name of Tottenham and married Martha (otherwise King of Cork) Harman (widow) in 1630. Barnabas died on the 16 July 1632. (Lismore, Co. Waterford is where Daniel Heaphy is recorded in 1660). Betham Genealogical Abstracts as follows for his will details: 

Barnabas Tottenham Als Hancock of Ballinduff in Co. Waterford, Esq. 13 July 1632. Nephew John Hancock, niece Anne Hancock. Brother in law Thos Salisbury and Thos Pompet. Cousin John Atkin, brother John Walley Esq. Kinsman John Tottenham, daughter in-law Martha Harman. Wife, Martha. 

Note: Barnabas mentions John Atkin, as his cousin? He must be referring to John Atkin, one of the first of the Atkin's to arrive in Ireland. John married Jane Rugge, born Bilbrook, Yorkshire, England, (1592 - 1675) in 1614. John and Jane lived at Polemore, Youghal, Cork. It is their daughter, Catherine Atkin that married John Tottenham circa 1655, well after the death of Barnabus Hancock Tottenham. So what is the relationship between Barnabas and John Atkin - or is that John Atkin was a personal or valued friend? 

According to Burke's Landed Gentry of Ireland, the widow of Barnabas married again to Sir Erasmuas Borrowes (B. Abt 1675 - D. Abt 1650) 1st Baronet, of Giltown, Co. Kildare on the 13 December 1632, giving Martha's address was Ballinduff (Ballyduff) Waterford. According to Betham Prerogative Marriage Licence records, the marriage record is recorded as follows (Her name is still referenced as Martha in the Court of Chancery Bills): 

Burrows, Erasmus, Co. Kildare, and Hancock, als Collengam of Dallinduff, Co. Waterford, widow, lady, dated 13 Dec 1632

Beatrice Tottenham's cousin, John Tottenham (D.1611) of Barrington, Cambridge, married Agnes Mustell and had two sons: John (B.1609) and Humphrey Tottenham (1611 - 1616). John, the eldest settled was baptised 14 June 1609, and he settled in Youghal, Cork, and is the cousin of Barnabas Hancock Tottenham. John Tottenham married Margaret Tynte, in 1632, the daughter of Sir Robert Tynte, Knight of Ballycrenan, Cork and had two sons: John and Edward Tottenham. John Tottenham (1633 - 1700), the eldest son, of Tottenham Green, an estate he purchased in Co. Wexford, from Charles Collins, cira 1670. John married Catherine Atkin, his cousin and daughter of John Atkin of Polemore, Co. Cork. 

Following Catherine (Atkin) Tottenham's death in 1661, John marries Anne Clarke, daughter of John and Elizabeth Clarke, England.  Anne Clarke moved to Ireland on 02 March 1658 (Ref: Quaker). John and Anne would have three children, with none of them reaching adulthood - John Tottenham (1673 - 1675), Anne Tottenham (1676 - 1680) and John Tottenham (1678 - 1680). 

The children of Catherine Atkin and John Tottenham were:  

John Tottenham (1657 - 1667)

Edward Tottenham (1659 - 1712) the only surving son of John Tottenham, married (First) Elizabeth Hayman, (dau of Samuel Hayman, Youghal, Cork and Elizabeth Atkin), with son Charles Tottenham (1685 - 1758), who marries Elinor Cliffe (1696 - 1745, dau of John Cliffe, Wexford, Tory, Irish House of Commons).  It is through Charles Tottenham, the family intermarry with the Loftus family of Loftus Hall, Wexford. Edward married (Second) Jane Hudle (B. 1671) and had another son, John Tottenham (1693 - 1693). It is unclear who Jane Hudle is, as there appears to be very little on the surname Hudle, which is probably Huddle. There is a Charles Huddle, merchant of Wexford referenced in 1681. 

It is from Edward Tottenham's will in 1711, we see the following: 

1712 Will Abstract: Wife Jane - son Charles - cousin John Heaphy, son of Daniel Heaphy, cousins Robert Pears - and Margaret Peare, wife of Robert Pears - sister Mrs. Anne Broome - Aunt Mrs. Mary Brelsford - uncles Edward Tottenham - and Walter Atkin - Mary Atkin, dau of said Walter Atkin - Uncle John Breslford - Catherine Gee sister of same - Francis Brelsford, brother of John Breslford - cousin John Tottenham - Edward, Elizabeth, brother and sister of same - mother in law Mrs. Anne Tottenham - brothers in law John Hayman of Polemore and Samuel Hayman Esqs - sisters in law Mrs Jane Lucase and Mrs Frances Hayman - cousin Lewis Parker - Barbara Bishop - and Mary Powell - cousin John Thomas Atkin son of Walter Atkin of Roxboro, Co Cork, Gent - Barbara Parker daughter of said Lewis Parker - Aunt Jane Fyne. 

William Tottenham (1661 - 1661)

The cousins, John, Edward and Elizabeth Tottenham mentioned by Edward in 1712, refer to the children of Edward Tottenham (1635 - 1702), his uncle and brother of John Tottenham. Edward (the uncle) married first to Elizabeth (unknown) who died young and Edward married secondly to Sarah Spencer and had the three children as mentioned (Elizabeth, Edward and Rev. John Tottenham). Is this Sarah Spencer related to Jane Spencer who married William Atkin in 1696? 

The following are related to Edward Tottenham, however, it is unclear of the connection?:

Cousins: John Heaphy and Barbara Bishop. Aunt: Jane Fyne. 

iv Mary Atkin (B.1620 - D. After 1705) Married John Brelsford, born abt 1620 and died 1671, brother to Samuel, Francis, and Frances (Gee) Brelsford. Children:

John Brelsford

v Margaret Atkin married Jerome Parker (Ref in John Atkin's Will, 1705), with children: 

Walter Parker, referenced in his grandfather's Will, 1705 - John Atkin. 

Robert Parker, referenced in his grandfather's Will, 1705 - John Atkin. 

Lewis Parker, son of Jerome Parker, whose daughter Barbara Parker (M. Bishop) is mentioned in Edward Tottenham's will abstract. Referenced in his grandfather's Will, 1705 - John Atkin. 

Margaret Parker, married Robert Peare in 1680, with children: Robert Peare and Anne Peare (Broome - Possible name is Francis Broome, ref ROD with Edward Tottenham, 1710), all four mentioned by Edward Tottenham in 1712. 

Is there another sister - Mary Parker, who married Richard Powell in 1681? 

The majority of research below on the Blennerhassett family has originally been carried out by another researcher.  

The Blennerhassett family is an English and Anglo-Irish noble family which has been involved in the politics of Britain and Ireland since the fourteenth century.  A powerfully well connected family, members have been involved in all aspects of society. The vast majority of the research below is taken from existing study of the family and from such books as, Selections From Old Kerry Records, or from research notes, Estated Gentlemen of Kerry, principally from the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Eras, their Births, Marriages, and Obituaries, from the Contemporary Press. Through my own research, I have added more information on branches. Below is a summary of some of the family members. 

Research begins with Thomas Blennerhassett born before 1500 and died after 1522, of Carlisle, Cumberland, England, whose son, John Blennerhassett (B. Abt. 1517 D.1578), of Carlisle, Cumberland, England, married Janet de Martindale, born 1534.  Their son, Thomas Blennerhassett (B. Abt. 1547 D.1611), born Flimby, Cumbria, England, married Mary Heydon (B.1642) in 1654. Thomas and Mary had the following children: 

Thomas (1565-1654), John (1560 - 1677), Robert (1565 - 1654), Blennerhassett (B.1568), Thomas (1577 - 1590), Thomas (1590 - 1590), and William (D.1621)

Of the above children, it was John and Robert, who moved from Cumbria, England to Ireland. The following lineage will follow Robert Blennerhassett, born Flimby, Cumbria England and moved to Kerry, Ireland. He was MP for Tralee and was occupying Ballysheedy and Ballycarty Castles. Robert married Elizabeth Conway, daughter of Jenkin Conway & Mary Herbert, of Castle Conway. Elizabeth was the sister of Jenkin (m. Avice Dalton) and Alice Conway (m. Edward Roe). Robert and Elizabeth had the following children: 

1 John Blennerhassett (1593 - 1676) born Castle Conway, he married Martha Lynne and had the following children: 

i John Blennerhassett, (D. 1677) married Elizabeth Denny, daughter of Sir Edward Denny, Knight, who was knighted in 1626 by Viscount Falkland. Elizabeth Denny was 13th in Royal Descent to King Edward I of England. Children:

Following John's death in 1709, Margaret married David John Barry, son of Richard Barry, 2nd Earl of Barrymore with no further children. 

John Blennerhassett and Margaret Crosbie had several children:

Ruth Blennerhassett, Widow and witness to the Codicil  for John Blennerhassett (1708) is referenced as his sister, but most likely, his sister in-law, so she must have been the wife of one of his brothers. 

ii Robert Blennerhassett, (Captain and M.P.) married Avice Conway, (D. 1663) his second cousin. Avice is the daughter of Edward Conway (Castle Conway) and Catherine Ryvees (Ryvees Castle, Coshlea, Limerick) - there are marriage connections here with the Massey and Harding families, with William Harding also marrying Elizabeth Blennerhasset, dau. of Gerald Blennerhassett, Riddlestown, Limerick.

Hamilton Baillie of the Ballie Family of Dublin & Down, was the wife of Sarah, and brother to James Baillie and Mrs. Trompson, father of Henry Ballie, London. It is unclear if his daughter is Anne, who married Clarke, and later married Michael Heaphy, in June 1777, St. Mary's Pro Cathedral, Dublin. Michael Heaphy is yet unidentified (2026), however both Hamilton and his wife Sarah were witnesses to the wedding of Michael and Anne, along with both Michael and Anne being mentioned in the will of Hamilton Baillie in 1785 - is Michael connected to Daniel Heaphy & Rachel Blennerhassett?

Evans family have a long associated history in Limerick since the late 17th century and with many examples of prominent marriages as follows: 

• Catherine Evans & George Vokes 

• George Evans (1672 - 1707) & Anne Bowerman

• George Evans (1658 - 1720) & Mary Eyre, parents of George Evans, 1st Baron Carbery. 

• George Evans (1st Baron Carbery) & Anne Stafford 

• John Evans (1704 - 1758) & Grace Freke 

• Eyre Evans & Sarah Dixon

• Thomas Evans & Mary Waller 

• Elizabeth Evans (1685 - 1764) & Col. Hugh Massey

• Catherine Evans & Sir Richard Coxe 

• John Evans & Elizabeth Tubbs in 1725, daughter of William Tubbs, gent, Knockany, Limerick. Diocese of Cork & Ross. 

Research being carried on the Evans family on this site is to focus on the Evans family of Kilkeedy, Limerick and the Evans - Vokes/Green/Wall connection.

A John Evans, born circa 1700, and died 1779/80. John Evans, is possibly related related to Simon and Elinor Evans. Simon is the brother of Elinor Evans (M. Taylor) & Catherine Evans, who married George Vokes. John's marriage is very likely with Elizabeth Tubbs, daughter of William Tubbs, Knockany, Limerick in 1725, ref, ROD, Memorial 34788 with a pre-marriage settlement and an agreement of lands at Cappananagh to John Evans, dated May 1725. Elizabeth is the brother of William Tubbs, of Knockany, Limerick, who married (First) to Judith Allen, in 1726 and (Second) to Elizabeth Tiernan in 1728 (Ref, Early Irish Marriage Index). There is a marriage between Catherine Tubbs, possible Aunt of Elizabeth, to Edward Apjohn in 1711, Cashel & Emly marriage registers. 

Note, there is a Court of Chancery/Exchequer Records for 

• 1732, 1733, & 1752, with John Heaphy (Limerick/Kerry Line) and William Tubbs

• 1752 with James Apjohn, John Heaphy, Raymond Evans, Standish and William Tubbs. 

 John Evans had the following children: 

i Raymond Evans, born 1725 (Ref: Cork Merchantile Chronicle). Raymond married Miss Vokes, daughter of Thomas Vokes (D.1783/5). Raymond's wife, Mrs Vokes Evans, died in December 1816, at the house of her son, John Evans, Mallow, relict of the late Raymond Evans, of Limerick, Patentee Clerk of the Crown for Limerick (Ref: Ffolliott Newspapers). Raymond Evans, died in November 1805, aged 80, later of Mallow (Ref: Ffolliott Newspapers).  Court of Exchequer records for Raymond Evans, connected to John Heaphy (as above) and Tubbs is as follows: 

4 Dec 1752 [Court of Exchequer]

Def: Bryn O’Donnell, Standish Tubbs, William Tubbs, William Slatterford, Raymond Evans, Robert Powell, John Heaphy, Michael Rice and Edmond Butler

Pet: James Apjohn

Known children of Raymond and his wife are: 

John Evans, who married Ann (Mary Ann Lacy? in 1781) and had the following known child:

• Raymond Evans, baptised 1792, Mallow. 

ii Mary Evans, who married Roger Finch. 

iii Ann Evans, who married Francis Swayne in 1747, Cashel & Emly Diocese. Francis Swayne, gent of Co. Galway (Cork Origin), died in 1758. According to Betham Genealogical Abstracts, Francis Swayne is the uncle of Francis Green of Craig, Limerick [See Green Family] as his sister, Mary, married John Green, Limerick, in 1727. There is an earlier marriage record for Francis Swayne and Isabella Crofts in 1711, Cork, which might suggest that Francis was married before his marriage to Ann Evans, or alternatively, the first marriage relates to the father of Francis Swayne. The Crofts were connected to the Taylors and Swayne families, through the marriage of Elizabeth Crofts, daughter of Christopher Crofts (Alderman - D.1712) and Mary Stephenson with Anselm Taylor of Limerick. These Taylors are very likely related to Richard Taylor, who married Elinor Evans, sister of Catherine and Simon. 

Ann and Francis Swayne had the following children, with Anne and Francis Swayne both referenced in the Court of Chancery Records along with their grandfather John Evans, their cousin, Francis Green of Craige, Robert Holmes (M. Mary Green, niece of F Swayne) and Cole Maxwell (M. Elizabeth Green, nice of F Swayne) and William Crofts. 

Anne Swayne, the eldest daughter

Elizabeth Swayne, the second daughter

Francis Swayne, the only son, born 1760 and died 1788. 

Memorials for Swayne - Box Tomb. Here lies Francis Swayne Esq, who departed this life on the 16 day of November 1788, aged 28 years. Universally loved and lamented. Tomb is erected to his ever dear memory by his affectionate sister, Ann Swayne. 

Note: A John Evans, born circa 1765, of Toryhill, Limerick, married Miss Swayne in May 1789 - is this Anne or Elizabeth?  

iv Richard Evans

v Margaret Evans, who married John Cusack.  

v George Evans

vi William Evans

viii Simon Evans 

Note: 

Nathaniel Evans, who married Bridget Green, daughter of Nicholas Green, of Carker, Doneraile, Cork, in 1725. It was through this marriage that allowed the Evans family inherited property in Cork, notably, Doneraile. [See Green Family] Nathaniel and Bridget's children: 

i Nicholas Green Evans, born 1730, Carker House, Doneraile, Cork, who married Hannah Roberts in 1756 with son, Nicholas Green Evans married Anne Westropp, in 1790. 

ii Amelia Evans, married Henry Bowerman, in 1748. A pre-marriage agreement existed, ref: ROD, Memorial 92960. Ringrose Bowerman of Clare, was a witness to the memorial, with Christopher Crofts, Cork and John Ryves Nettles, witnesses to the deed. 

iii Roberts Evans, Major General

iv Henry Evans, Vice Admiral for the Royal Navy, he married Elizabeth Nash in 1801. 

John Evans, of Limerick is referenced in the pre-marriage settlement between Elinor Wall and Conway Heaphy, eldest son and heir of Robert Heaphy & Mary Ann Conway, in 1791. This John Evans, has some connection to the Wall family. In the Court of Exchequer records for 1782 - 84, there is a reference to John Evans, and Atty or Anastasia Wall, husband of Barnaby Wall of Rathkeale. Is Anastasia of the Evans family and is what relation would she be to Elinor Wall? John Evans makes several Court of Chancery appearances with Conway Heaphy, Mary Ann Heaphy Keating and Elinor Wall Heaphy Hasset in 1817/1818. There is also reference to Peter Heaphy in the 1782-84 court records, however it is unknown who he is. 

Evans of Rivermount, Clarina, Limerick

Edward Evans, born cira 1770, married Catherine Ryan, in 1793, COI, St. John's Limerick. Known child of Edward and Catherine:

i Edward Evans, born about 1805, died 1880. Edward of Rivermount, Clarina, married (unknown) and had the following known children: 

William Evans, married Maria Shier, and had the following known child: 

• Catherine Anne Evans, born 1864, Clarina.

Jane Evans, married in 1869, COI, Kilkeedy to Edward Adamson, of Rivermount, Kilkeedy, and son of Samuel Adamson, and grandson of Richard Asamson and Honora Young. Witnesses: Charles & Jane Shier. 

The following two Evan members could possible be brothers/sons of Edward Evans, as both were present in Kilkeedy in 1851, along with the mention of both Edwards, for the parliamentary return of the anti-Papal Petitions in the Country of Limerick - in favour of the penal aggression bill [See Newspapers]: 

• St. John Evans

• John Evans

Hayman siblings (Elizabeth & Samuel) of Cork. 

Elizabeth Hayman, married Charles Gee on the 02 Jan 1671, Cloyne, Cork. Charles Gee is very likely the brother to Mr. Gee, who married Catherine Breslfsord, sister of John Breslford, who married Mary Atkin, aunt of Edward Tottenham, who married Elizabeth Hayman. Elizabeth Atkin (1642 - 1677 - dau. of John Atkin & Jane Rugge), born in Minehead, Somerset, England, married Samuel Hayman (of Youghal, Cork), in 1659, Somerset, England (mentioned by Edward Tottenham, 1712).  Their daughter Elizabeth Hayman, married Edward Tottenham (1659 - 1712), her cousin, on the 03 May 1683 (Ref: Landed Gentry: Tottenham).

The name Holliday has many spelling variations; Holliday, Holyday, Holladay, Holeday, Halliday, etc. The name is originally traced back to the Anglo-Scottish borders. Families settled in Leinster (including Dublin, Kildare, and Westmeath) as part of the 17th-century plantation waves, frequently finding employment as estate managers, legal registrars, or Church officials, however, Burke's Commoners claims that the name has been present long before this. The name is connected with Limerick since the mid to late 17th century, however is mostly associated with Offaly, Laois, Dublin, and Northern Ireland. The Holliday name is also connected to famous Odlum family through the marriage of Elizabeth Holliday and Richard Odlum in 1763. For the purpose of consistency, I will be using the spelling of Holliday. 

Below is a break down of various branches covering Limerick, Offaly, Tipperary and Galway. 

Holliday family of Limerick: 

Charles (Chas) Holliday born about 1670, Alderman of Limerick , he married (Unknown). They had the following son:

i Charles Holliday, who married Sarah White on the 27 Nov 1711, St. John's Limerick. Sarah White, (White family of Knockscentry, Limerick). Sarah White Holliday, was buried on the 14 July 1737, St. Johns, COI, Limerick. Charles and Sarah had the following known children: 

William Holliday, baptised 30 Nov 1712, St. John's, COI, Limerick, son of Chas. 

Charles Holliday. Burial date, 24 Nov 1717, St. John's COI, Limerick, Charles, son of Chas. 

John Holliday, baptised 14 April 1716, St. Johns, COI, Limerick, son of Charles

Charles Holliday, born 1718. Burial date, 08 May 1718, St. John's COI, Limerick, Chas, son of Chas. 

Mary Holliday baptised 04 July 1719 at St. John's, COI, Limerick, dau. of Chas.  Burial date 20 Sep 1720, St. John's COI, Limerick, daughter of Cha.

Anne Holliday, baptised on the 15 Aug 1720, St. John's, COI, Limerick, dau. of Chas. 

There appears to be no more baptismal records following 1720. No burial dates were found for William and John, so it is possible, one or both had a family in Limerick. 

Holliday family of Philipstown, King's County (Offaly)

Rev. Charles or John Holliday, Rector at Philipstown (Daingean), Offaly, married Catherine (unknown). The Will of Rev. Holliday is dated 26 August 1771, approved on 13 December 1779 with details included as follows:

Waterford Chronicle, Tuesday 18 March 1788. HOLLIDAY Mrs. Catherine, died lately at Philipstown, the widow Catherine Holliday, relict of the Rev. John Holliday, deceased. This gentleman has left some considerable funds in public charities, at the disposal of the Rev. Dean Digby of Geashill & John Lucas of Mount Lucas Esq. 

To note, here that her husband in the Dublin Gazette and Waterford Chronicle is referred to as John and not Charles, which he is called in the Fisher Mss. Will Notes. The Will details of Catherine Holliday are as follows: 

Holliday, Catherine, Philipstown, Kings County, Widow, dated 25 February 1788. P.B 18 March 1788. Son: John Holliday. Grandson: John Jenkins Holliday. Grandson: Cornelius Richard Odlum. Granddaughter: Eleanor Odlum. Daughter: Elizabeth Odlum. Grandson: John Jenkins and Holliday Odlum. 

The couple had the following children: 

i John Holliday, who married (unknown), remained within the same area, with records associating him with his brother in-law, Richard Odlum. Children: 

John Jenkins Holliday, referenced in Alumni Dublinenses, 1924 Edition, on July 9th, 1763. 

ii (Mary?) Holliday, who married Mr. Jenkins, with children: 

John Jenkins 

It is unclear here from the original research if Miss (Mary) Holliday marries a Mr. Jenkins, or it is her brother, John who married a Miss Jenkins. 

iii Elizabeth Holliday (born c.1741) who married Richard Odlum (born c.1740. D.1804) in 1763, Dublin Diocese (Ref: Faulkner's Journal). Richard Odlum, is part of the Odlum family that went on to create Odlums in 1845.  Recorded in the Dublin Courier, 3 June 1763:

Dublin Courier, Friday, 3 June 1763. MARRIAGE. A few days ago Mr Odlum, of the King's County, to Miss Elizabeth Holliday, daughter of the Rev. Mr Holliday, Minister of Philipstown. 

Children: 

John Holliday Odlum, married Elizabeth Pillsworth in 1788, Dublin Diocese. 

Cornelius Richard Odlum

Ellinor Elizabeth Odlum, born c1770, Ballymooney, Geashill. 

Odlum Family

Originally from Lancashire, the Odlum family lore and historical deeds note that the family grew significantly in Ireland after several Odlum brothers received land grants in the 1690s following their service in William III’s army during the Jacobite and Williamite war. The family settled in King's County, now Offaly, as farming stock, yeomen, and landowners, in particularly around areas like Geashill, which is the area associated with the family and the Holliday family. Over time, branches of the family became prominent members of the Society of Friends (Quakers). This religious network strongly influenced their integrity and transition into merchant trading and industry (Ref: Irish Independent). In 1845, William Odlum (1817 - 1881, son of William Odlum & Rebecca Kelly, m. 1801) shifted the family focus from farming to commercial grain processing by opening his first flour mill in Portlaoise (then Maryborough), County Laois. This single step launched their multi-generational milling empire.  Read more on Odlums, the Irish food processing and marketing company that manufactures and retails products under the Odlums name. 

The Barons Digby (and clergymen like Rev. Dean Digby, above) were the ultimate landlords of the Geashill Estate. They held total administrative power over the land, granting structural leases to local families. The Odlums were prominent, long-standing tenants who leased lands from the Digby family. The relationship between these two families was very close, that one branch of the Odlum family, named a son Digby Odlum. The Hollidays became associated here firsly through the connection with Rev. John Holliday and by marrying into the Odlum family. When Richard Odlum married Elizabeth Holliday in 1763, it brought the Holliday lineage into the Geashill tenant network. John Holliday Odlum was born, he inherited the maternal "Holliday" name while living on and working the lands leased from Dean Digby and the Digby estate. 

Holiday family of Carrick (on-Suir), Tipperary:

Joseph Holliday, (d.1775) a clothier of Carrick, Tipperary, married (unknown) and had the following children: 

i John Holliday, gent, Tipperary.  John's wife is very likely Mary Briscoe, and they married in 1751, Ossory Diocese. The couple had the following children, as taken from the Will of Joseph Holliday in 1775: 

Margaret Holliday

Judith Holliday

Daniel Holliday. This Daniel is very likely the Butter Weigh Master, referenced in Pigot Directory, who died in 1864 (Ref: Newspapers), or is possibly the son of Daniel Holliday and Mary Turbet. 

Ann Holliday

Maria Holliday

Helen Holliday

William Holliday. (c1754 - c1830) Even though the Joseph's Will has referenced Daniel as the only son of John, it also mentions, William Holliday as son of John. William of Carrick, Tipperary, was an Apothecary, based on Arran Quay, Dublin. William married Miss Alder, daughter of Finbar Alder, a timber and bank merchant, also operating from Arran Quay, Dublin (Ref: Dictionary of Irish Biography). Children: 

William Holliday, d. 1812

Charles Holliday (c1789 - 1866, Monkstown). Used the name Haliday. Charles married Mary Hayes (d.1868), niece of Thomas Hayes of Mountmellick, Queen's Co., who was a Major General in East India Co. Service. Charles worked with grandfather at Arran Quay and made a well known name for himself in Business. He was the Chairman of chamber of commerce, director of Bank of Ireland (1838 - 1866) and Governor of the Bank of Ireland (1858 - 1860). He leased a villa at Monkstown, Dublin, in 1834 and purchased Monkstown Park in 1843, where he it rebuilt to his preferred style (Ref: Dictionary of Irish Biography). Holliday is best remembered for his collection of Irish pamphlets. This he formed over the years, buying from auctioneers and waste-paper merchants. Its value lies in its size of over 35,000 items and its historical range, with the earliest item dating to 1578.

Holland Family of Limerick have records dating back to the mid to late 17th century, with many members being aldermen, sheriffs and mayors of Limerick. The below family may be adjusted over time and might have some misinterpretations. 

The earlier family member is a Zachery Holland, who probably is related to a branch in Cork or Fermanagh, who married with the following children: 

1 Captain Thomas Holland. Not much information has currently been found on Thomas Holland only on his death in 1742, through Betham Genealogical records. 

2 Joshua Holland, married to (unknown). He is referenced in the Will of Hezekiah Holland as his brother. Known children: 

i Edmund Holland 

3 Hezekiah Holland. Died 1728, of Crossagalla, Limerick. Alderman and Mayor of Limerick in 1713. Hezekiah married Deborah (unknown - died 1733) and it very likely the couple had no children, or no children to reach adulthood, as there is no reference of any in his Will of 1728. 

4 Zacharias (Zachary) Holland. Died 1694. Limerick Merchant and sheriff of Limerick in 1692. Zachary married Sarah White, daughter of Simon White, Knocksentry, Limerick (See White family below). The couple had three children referenced as minors in the Will of Simon White, their grandfather in 1704. Following the death of Zachary Holland, Sarah married married (Second) to Mr. Cotton (Ref: Betham Genealogical Abstracts, Will of Simon White, PB 1704). Sarah was married to Mr. Cotton by 1696, as per court records, and by 1703, court records have recorded her as a widow - Sarah Cotton, widow.  Children of Zachary Holland and his wife Sarah, as follows: 

i Caesar Holland. Died 1709. He was a merchant, Limerick, whose estate on his death, went to his siter, Sarah Holland (Davis).  Not married. 

ii Sarah Holland. Sarah married David Davis on the 04 April 1706, Fermanagh. David Davis was of Limerick and witnesses to the wedding were, Hezekiah Holland, Limerick, brother and Joseh Cecil, Killaloe, Clare. David is also the brother of Edward Davis. David died in 1726 with the couple having the following children: 

Zachary Davis, eldest and high sheriff of Limerick. 

Mary Davis. It is unclear if she married a Mr. Wright, and she has been referenced as Mary Wright Davis through Will records. 

Catherine Davis, married Stephen Hastings in 1748 (Ref. ROD Memorial 162631). Stephen Hastings had an apothecary in Limerick and was appointed as the executor, along with Deborah White Holland and James White, of the estate of Simon Holland (uncle to Catherine). Stephen Hastings died in 1777/79. Catherine and Stephen has the following children: 

Sarah Hastings, the only daughter, who married William Dickson in 1766 (Ref: ROD Memorial, dated 1766). Children: 

• Sarah Dickson

• Catherine Dickson

• Elizabeth Dickson 

David Hastings, also had or took over his father's apothecary in Limerick. 

Jane Davis, had died before 1766. Possibly did not marry. 

Sarah Davis possibly married Joseph Wright in 1731, St. Mary's Limerick.  There is some Wright connection between either Sarah or her sister Mary. Court records show a reference to a Rev. Wright. 

iii Simon Holland (c1688 - 1749), he married Deborah White (c1693 - 1766), sister of James White of Knocksentry, Limerick. James has not yet been identified with the White family below, however, he is referenced as her brother. Simon and Deborah married in 1713. Simon was of Crossagalla, Limerick and was buried on the 17 October 1749, St. Mary's Limerick. Simon and Deborah had the following children possibly born between 1714 and 1733: 

Mary Holland, married Mr. Athkinson, who had died before 1748. 

Deborah Holland, did not marry and received all of her mother's estate on her death in 1766. Following this date, there are currently no records found for Deborah. 

Sarah Holland, was still alive in 1766. She married James Peacock, however it is also referenced that Sarah had been married previously to Mr. Davis. This might be in error as there were a number of Sarah Davis, with one being married to David Davis (above). 

Thomas Holland, was born before 1728 and was possible still alive in 1798. 

Hezekiah Holland, grandson of Zachary Holland. Hezekiah was born before 1728 and died in 1792. In 1776, he is referenced as living at Clondrommin, Limerick. Hezekiah married Elizabeth (unknown) who died in 1770, Kilkenny (Ref: Freemans Journal, 1770).

Zachary Holland, still alive in 1766, referenced in the Will of his mother, Deborah.

Caesar Holland, still alive in 1766, referenced in the Will of his mother, Deborah. 

Catherine Holland. Catherine is referenced in the Betham Genealogical records as having married a Mr. Hastings, however, this may be in error, as it was Catherine Davis, her cousin, that married Stephen Hastings, unless their was a marriage with a relation to Stephen, however, no record has been found. 

5 Miss Holland, married a Mr. Jackson, with known children: 

i Zachary Jackson (died 1771), he married (unknown). Zachary Jackson is referenced as the nephew of Hezekiah Holland. Zachary had the following children:

Anne Jackson

Margaret Jackson

Zachary (Joseph) Jackson 

6 Randal Holland. (1657 - 1729, buried 16 December 1729, St. Mary's Limerick) It is unclear if Randal is a sibling to the others, however, he is referenced in the Will of Hezekiah Holland, as Alderman, Randal Holland. Randal married Elizabeth Twigg, sister to Margaret Twigg and daughter to Robert Twigg, Alderman. Randal and Elizabeth had the following children born between c1710 and 1727: 

i Mary Anne Holland, married Cromwell Ward (d.1756) on the 16 April 1730, Limerick. The marriage is also recorded on 16 April 1729, so one is probably a typo. Cromwell Ward was a Lieutenant, however there is also another Rev. Cromwell Ward to exist in Limerick, associated with Kilfinane and Rathkeale. The lieutenant died in 1756 and the rev. died in 1778. What relation their were is unknown, however, the origins of the family were of Co. Fermanagh. 

ii Hester (Esther) Holland, married John Bouchier in 1729. 

iii Robert Holland

iv Thomas Holland, referenced as Freeman of Limerick. 

v Elizabeth Holland. Not married. 

vi Abigail Holland. (1726 - 1793). Not married. Will dated, 1793. 

vii Henry Holland, married Elizabeth Anderson. Elizabeth died in 1768 and is therefore not mentioned in her husband's Will. She is referenced on her death in the Dublin Gazette as "wife of Henry Holland, Burgress." Elizabeth was the brother of William Anderson Esq who very likely relates to the Anderson family of Knockroe, Limerick. William, is the son of William Anderson. William married Ann Downing of Clonmel, Tipperary, in 1739/40, grand-daughter of Deborah Johnson (ROD. Mem 68892). William Anderson died, 1747, Waterford District, Cashel & Emly, with a residence in Tipperary (Ref: Ireland Diocesan And Prerogative Wills & Administrations Indexes 1595-1858).

Priscilla Ouseley, married Rev. Leycester. 

Alice Ouseley 

Robert Holland

Jane Holland

Mary Anne Holland

Margaret Holland

viii Randal Holland (1727 - 1727)

Disconnect Members: 

Rev. Simon Holland, is very likely the grandson, rather than son of Simon Holland and Deborah White. Simon was ordained in 1774, along with Rev. John Parker and Rev. Thomas Franklin. Rev. John Parker, married Catherine Anne Duhigg, daughter of Mary Horan and Timothy Duhigg. Mary Horan is the daughter of Robert Horan, uncle of Margaret Heaphy, who married Rev. Simon Holland in 1779, Limerick. Rev. Simon Holland is referenced in court records with Hezekiah Holland and Thomas Holland in 1789 and with Thomas Holland and Sir Hugh Massey Dillon in 1790. This Thomas Holland is referenced as the third son of Simon, so is he the brother of Rev. Simon, making Simon Holland and Deborah White, the grandparents? 

Hezekiah Holland O'Callaghan and Cornelius O'Callaghan. The daughter of Rev. Simon Holland and Margaret Heaphy, Eliza Holland married Cornelius O'Callaghan, brother to Hezekiah Holland O'Callaghan. Hezekiah was the executor for the estate of Margaret Heaphy Holland on her dearth in 1834 and he was part of the Horan V O'Brien case (See Horan family below). Hezekiah Holland O'Callaghan is referenced as the nephew of Margaret Heaphy Holland, but is more likely the nephew of her husband Rev. Simon, which would mean, Simon's sister, married O'Callaghan. 

(Detail of Robert Horan Case below)

The Horan family of begins with a Robert Horan, born about 1690 - 1700, and was of Dublin and of Newcastle, Limerick.  Robert's father may have been Tobias or Thomas B Horan, who died in 1714, Limerick (Calendar of Wills) 

Robert Horan married Catherine Prestidge as from the Court of Chancery records for 1775 and 1777. Siblings to Robert is a sister, Miss Horan, who married a Mr. Heaphy (See Heaphy of Limerick & Kerry) and possible brother, Tobias Horan, who died in 1791 of London and Newcastle, Limerick (Calendar of Wills).

Simon Holland, who married Margaret Heaphy, a cousin of Catherine Duhigg. There is a record for the death of Catherine on the 06 March 1813, recorded as follows, however, this must refer to a Mrs. Parker, wife of a different Rev. John Parker as newspaper articles and court of chancery records show that Catherine Duhigg Parker was deceased by 1796 (See Case Notes below):  

Limerick Chronicle. 06 March 1813. Died at his seat, Ploverhill, in the Liberities of this city, aged 79 years, most sincerely lamented, Mrs. Parker, wife of the Rev.

John Francis Parker (Died Aug 1833, Clare Street, Limerick?)

Richard Parker

Mary Parker 

Note: Robert Duhigg (D.1775) was of Airhill, Limerick.  A previous reference to Airhill can be found under Peter and Matthew Heaphy in the Branch 1 study. This relates to the marriage at Heafy Lodge, Rathkeale, of John O'Sullivan (Kerry) and Ellen Enright, daughter of Matthew Enright Esq, of Airhill, Limerick. 

ii Tobias Horan, born c1730-1740, he was based between Dublin and Limerick. Tobias married Margaret Meredith in August 1772, daughter of Richard Meredith Esq (Kerry) & Frances Greene (daughter of George Greene, Abbey, Limerick) and the niece of Councillor Robert Fitzgerald of Dingle, Kerry. He was an attorney (Treble Almanack & Dublin Directory, 1783. Kings Inns Admission Papers, 1757.) and died 1795, of Newcastle, Co. Limerick, Esq. (Calendar of Wills). 

Newspaper - 03 Aug 1772: married Thomas Horan Esq of Newcastle Co. Limerick, to Miss Meredith, dau of the late Richard Meredith Esq and niece to Councillor Robert Fitzgerald, member near Dingle. 

Known children of Tobias and Margaret: 

Robert Fitzgerald Horan is this the Robert Horan, who died 1795, of Newcastle, Co. Limerick, Esq. (Calendar of Wills). His wife's death is recorded as follows: 

Mrs. Horan, wife of Robert Horan, Newcastle, near Limerick, died on the 30th of September 1819, Scariff, Co. Clare (Obituaries, Limerick Local Studies) 

Caroline Horan, married Rev. Ravon or Ravone and lived in France for a period. She became known as Madame Ravone. 

Limerick Gazette, 1809: Arrived at Friday, last at Green Park, the seat of William Monsell Esq, from France, Madame Ravon, daughter of the late Tobias Horan Esq, of Newcastle, near this city, where she has been detained since the revolution. 

Caroline was the administrator for Tobias Horan and was widowed at this time. Madame Ravone died on the 14 April 1819, Donogrogue, Co. Clare (Obituaries - Limerick Local Studies)

Tobias Horan (Possible son - there is a record of the death of Tobias Horan in 1810, calendar of wills)

iii Elias Horan married Mercy (Marcella) Drew, in 1774, at Drewsborough House, Killaloe, daughter of Ringrose Drew Esq & Jane Molony. (Ref: Dublin Hibernian Journal). Elias Horan died in 1778, at Santa Cruz in the West Indies (Ref: Dublin Hibernian Journal & Magee's weekly). Is this the same Elias? 

Magee's Weekly Packet. 04 July 1778. DEATHS. At Santa Cruz in the West-Indies, Elias Horan Esq., formerly of Newcastle, near Limerick.

Marcella Drew Horan was still alive by 1807, widowed. Children of Elias and Mercy Horan:

Ringrose Drew Horan - the eldest son of Mercy Drew Horan. Married Jane Buchanan on the 28 Aug 1795, in Portpatrick, Scotland (Ref: ROD). Jane Buchanan was from Offaly, and she died in 1814, at Frankfort, King's County (Ref: Limerick Chronicle 12 Feb 1814). 

Elias Horan, referenced in his grandfather's Will, Ringrose Drew, dated 1785. 

Note: There appears to have been a connection/relationship between the Duhigg family and the O'Brien family - Brien O'Brien of Boskill, Limerick, was the brother of Margaret, who married John Heaphy in 1742.  A Bartholomew Duhigg, was a witness to the marriage agreement deed for Margaret's first marriage to Thomas McNamara in 1727. It is unclear if Mary, who married Matthew Duhigg, brother of Bartholomew Duhigg is O'Brien or Burke. Margaret O'Brien's sister, Honora O'Brien, married Cornelius Chlancy/Clanchy (son of Henry Chlancy) in 1728 - their granddaughter, Mary Clancy, would marry Matthew Duhigg in 1784 (Ref: ROD). See Heaphy of Limerick & Kerry  It is unclear currently who was married to Miss Horan.

Research on the family is still being compiled.  Overview below of the case relating to the lands at Newcastle, Limerick.

It should also be noted here, that Denis or Dennis O'Brien is a cousin of Margaret O'Brien, who married John Heaphy in 1742. Denis O'Brien Esq, died 1812, at his seat at Newcastle, Limerick, aged 76, eminent attorney. This concludes that Denis O'Brien took up ownership of the lands at Newcastle. 

Investigation Reason: Irby was connected to Powell - Hassard Powell & Powell family connected to John & Daniel Heaphy through court records. 

Thomas Irby (1608 - 1658) married Susan Cahir (b.1612). Children: 

Rev. Anthony Irby (1646 - 1706), who became the Rector at Druntileague, Limerick, married Elizabeth Massey (c1650 - 1716) daughter of Hugh I Massey of the Massey family of Druntileague, Limerick. Elizabeth Massey had previously been married to Robert Powell (1643 - 1684), brother to Hassard Powell, who married Elizabeth Mounckton. 

The Massey family descend from a Cromwellian soldier, named Captain Hugh Massey who was granted 3,055 acres in Coshlea, Co. Limerick for his services. The land included Duntrileague and was greatly expanded as time went on. His two great grandsons became the 1st Baron Massey of Duntrileague and the 1st Baron Clarina of Elm Park [Landed Estates: NUI Galway]. John Heaphy and his son, Eyre, were stewards at Elm Park for Lord Clarina, the second branch of the Massey family.  

Anthony Irby, died 08 November 1706, Clonmore, Limerick and his wife, Elizabeth Massy Irby died in 1716, "Coolegon", Clare. Rev. Anthony Irby and Elizabeth Massey had the following children: 

i Elizabeth Irby is the eldest daughter of Rev. Anthony Irby, and she married John Brady in 1696, Cashel & Emly.  

ii Alice Irby, who married John Parker, of Dunkipp, Limerick. John Parker is the son of John & Abigail Parker of Dunkipp, Limerick, and is a sibling to: John Parker, Thomas Parker, Edward Parker, Nicholas Parker, George Parker & Mary Parker (m. Thomas Studdert, son of George Studdert & Millicent Rose).  Alice Irby and John Parker had the following children: 

Anthony Parker (High Sheriff of Limerick, 1740), who married (first) Amy Massey, daughter of William Massey (nephew to Elizabeth Massey Irby) and married (second) to Anne Bentley. Anthony and Amy had a daughter: 

• Alice Parker, born 1748, Limerick. Alice married (unknown) and a child: 

Anthony Parker, who married Ann Grady, daughter of Standish Grady in 1761, Limerick. 

John Parker 

Hugh Parker 

Richard Parker 

Investigation Reason: Mounckton connected with Powell - Hassard Powell and Powell family connected with John & Daniel Heaphy through court records. 

Nicholas Mouckton married Susanne Dann in 1631, Cork & Ross who is the origin line for the Mounckton family in Limerick. Nicholas Monckton, who arrived in Ireland, probably with Welsh or English origins, and served as a clerk to the Limerick market in 1618. By the early 18th century, they established themselves as landed gentry in the Ballingarry and Knockaney areas of Limerick. The 1659 census of Ireland, shows Nicholas Mouckton, gent, in the parish of Ballingarry, Limerick. Much of the information below is  available from the Will of Elizabeth Mounckton of 1685 and the court case records for the estate of Hassard Powell, over the mismanagement of it by his uncles. There were the following siblings: 

1 Constance Mounckton, referenced in her brother Nicholas's Will of 1674. 

2 Martha Mounckton, referenced in her brother Nicholas's Will of 1674. 

3 Anne Mounckton, referenced in her brother Nicholas's Will of 1674. 

4 Nicholas Mounckton (c1620 - 1674) of Knockaney, Limerick. Nicholas married Elizabeth (unknown). Following the death of Nicholas in 1674, his wife, Elizabeth married Sir George Ingoldsby (Knight), Cashel & Emly, when she became known as Dame Elizabeth Ingoldsby. Children of Nicholas and Elizabeth Mounckton:  

i Barbara Mounckton 

ii Thomas Mounckton (1652 - 1687). Thomas received his BA in 1674. 

iii Elizabeth Mounckton (d.1685). Elizabeth married Hassard Powell, son of Giles Powell. The Powell family were granted large estate and parcels of land within Limerick. Children: 

• Hassard Powell 

• Mary Powell, who married Hugh Brady, who is probably a brother to John Brady, who married Elizabeth Irby in 1696 - Elizabeth Irby, was the daughter of Elizabeth Massey (c1650 - 1716, dau. of Hugh Massey I of Druntrileauge, Limerick) and Rev. Anthony Irby. Before marrying Rev. Irby, Elizabeth Massey was married to Robert Powell (1643 - 1684), brother of Hassard Powell, who married Elizabeth Mounckton. 

• Mable Powell, who married George Robinson. 

iv Nicholas Mounckton, b.1653. Eldest son, Nicholas was a Jacobite Officer and there are also references for him in the Trinity College registers. Nicholas was High Sheriff of Co. Limerick in 1675. Nicholas was appointed the guardian of his nephews, the children of his sister Elizabeth, who died in 1685, weeks following her husband, Hassard Powell's death. Giles Powell, joined in guardianship to protect his grandson's estate. Following the death of Giles, Hassard Powell, the grandson, discovered that his uncle Nicholas was mismanaging his estate. On discovering the issue, Hassard suspended Nicholas and put David Wilson (father of Ralph Wilson), from his mother's side as guardian. His mother's sister, Constance Mounckton was married to David Wilson, Alderman, and brother to Ralph Wilson (friendly with King James's officers) of Caherclonlish, Limerick (Ref: Crossle Genealogical Abstracts). However, David Wilson, also mismanaged, shifting the profits of the Powell estate to his own private use, in addition to leasing Hassard's profits through query abatement to different tenants, at a lower price, such as John Walsh and West Mitchelstown to John Williams, who exchanged the lease with John Heaphy (Jacobite Officer) [Limerck & Kerry Branch], reference court cases, 1696 - 1702. David Wilson had assigned Robert Blennerhassett in the Hassard Powell case. Robert Blennerhassett was the uncle of Rachel Blennerhassett, who married Daniel Heaphy, son of John in 1715, St. John's COI, Limerick.  

Nicholas married Jane Weeks. There is a court reference for Jane in 1687, as the husband of Nicholas Mounckton, however, there was also a cousin to this Nicholas, also named Nicholas, son of Thomas Mounckton. 

v Constance Mounckton, who married David Wilson, Alderman, brother to Ralph Wilson of Caherconclish, Limerick, who had married a Miss Ryvees. Children: 

• Ralph Wilson PB, dated 1729, referenced in his Will is: 

Mother - Constance Wilson. Wife - Lucy Perry. Cousins - Ambrose Wilson, Ralph Wilson (of Caherclonclish), William Wilson. Cousin - Rev. Jonathon Wilson. Uncle - John Mounckton. 

Ralph Wilson married Lucy Perry. Apparently earlier research on the Wilson family have stated, there is no connection with this Wilson family and Richard Wilson of Ballinacurra Hart, Limerick and associated with estates such as Springfield, Mount Ivers and Belvoir in County Clare.  I have not investigated the Wilson family further, despite, Harriet Vokes, wife of Eyre Heaphy (Clarina Line), being the granddaughter of Elizabeth Wilson, who married Andrew Vokes in 1785. [See Vokes Family]

vi Catherine Mounckton, who married Standish O'Grady with children: 

• Darby O'Grady

• Catherine O'Grady 

vii John Mounckton, who married Ann (unknown)

i Nicholas Mounckton 

This branch of the O'Brien family is of Boskill area of Limerick with connections to Tipperary and Killaloe, Clare. Research continues on this line. It begins Brien, John, Denis, and Cornelius O'Brien.   

1 Brien O'Brien 

Children of Brien O'Brien are as follows:  

i Brien O'Brien (c1690 - 1744) married (unknown), who had died before Brien. Death of Brien O'Brien, Limerick, 1744, with William O'Brien his executor, recorded as follows:

Children of Brien O'Brien: 

Charles O'Brien. Ref in a deed, dated 1722, ROD, Memorial 20994, along with his father, Brien and uncle John O'Brien. 

William O'Brien, married Margaret Lee in 1742, with a pre-marriage agreement, dated 1742, ref ROD, Memorial 86579. Margaret is the daughter of Arthur Lee and Helena Dowdall, and sister to Catherine, Susanna, Patrick, and Arthur Lee (Ref: ROD, Memorial 86579). 

William and Margaret are connected in a 1749 deed with Arthur Duhigg, son of Matthew & Mary Duhigg - see Horan Family above. William and Margaret had the following children: 

• John O'Brien

• Daniel O'Brien

• Morgan O'Brien 

Timothy O'Brien, married (unknown) and had a child: 

• Charles O'Brien

ii Margaret O'Brien, born c1705. Margaret married (first) Thomas McNemara Esq, on the 26 of May 1727, with a pre-marriage settlement dated 26.05.1727 (Registry of Deeds. Ref: Memorial of Deeds 39095). Thomas McNemara was the brother of Ellinor (Ellen) McNemara who married Cornelius O'Brien, gent. This Cornelius O'Brien is either a brother or cousin to her father, Brien O'Brien. Thomas McNemara died on the 20 October 1740, Clonfadda, Killaloe and the couple had no children. Bart Duhigg wasa witness to the marriage deed and the following names are mentioned in the pre-marriage agreement for Thomas McNemara and Margaret O'Brien:   

Thomas McNemara - Gent,  Brien O'Brien - Gent, Margaret O'Brien, O'Brien - Earl of Thomand, Bartholomew Duhigg - Gent, Timothy O'Brien - Gent, Cornelius O'Brien - Gent and Charles O'Brien - Gent. 

Margaret married (second) to John Heaphy in 1742, Cashel & Emly, Prerogative Marriage Licence Bonds 1623 - 1866. John Heaphy, son of John Heaphy (d.1712), of Lismore, Waterford and brother to Daniel Heaphy (m. Rachel Blennerhassett, 1715). John's first wife was likely a Miss Horan or Miss Prestidge, sister or sister in-law to Robert Horan of Newcastle, Limerick. Horan's were connected to the Duhigg and Robert's Horan daughter, Mary, would marry Timothy Duhigg. David & Matthew Duhigg were of Knockatancashlane, Caherconclish, Limerick. 

John and Margaret (O'Brien) Heaphy appear several times together in the Court of Chancery/Exchequer records - 1747, 1752, 1755, 1764 & 1765. John Heaphy was a witness to a deed between Henry Chlancy of Grange and Timothy O'Brien of Strahane, Limerick on the 30.04.1748, where John's address is of Ringvill, Limerick (Ref: ROD Memorial 88251).   

John was a freeholder of an area near Boskill, Limerick, called Beenvult.  From 1727 to 1793, only protestants with a freehold over a certain value could vote.  Records show that John Heaphy, voted twice in 1768 and 1776 in the county elections for the election of knights for the shire of County Limerick, where he voted for Bart. Hugh Massy & Siliver Oliver in 1768 and Henry Hartstonge & Silver Oliver in 1776 (Index of Freeholders of Limerick 1768 & 1776). John Heaphy is also recorded in the Limerick Poll Book of May 1761. 

Beenvult was an area of land north-east of Boskill House, home of the Frend Family.  In the late 19th century, the area is described as "tastefully planted" and known by the name of Beenvult (The Old Limerick Journal by Gary Ahern). 

It is currently unknown if John and Margaret had children. There is no mention of children in the records of Brien O'Brien's, death in 1744.  (See Heaphy Family of Limerick and Kerry)

Lelias Hastler fits in here somewhere and she married a Cornelius O'Brien. She is the sister of James Hastler, attorney, and is mentioned in 1764 with reference to the Will of Elinor McNemara O'Brien. 

DISCONNECT MEMBER

Brien Kennedy, of Nenagh, Tipperary, gent, admitted as attorney of H.M. Court of King's Bench in 1783 and converted to COI in 1773. Brien Kennedy is a connected from the O'Brien Kennedy marriages, and also he appears in the court hearing with Margaret Heaphy - Robert Horan case, which strengthens connecting John Heaphy, Margaret O'Brien as her uncle. Another record from 1773, connects him to Denis O'Brien and Matthew Kennedy, who married Elinor O'Brien. Brien Kennedy died in 1815, recorded in the Clonmel Herald, dated 15 April 1815, "Brian Kennedy Esq., formerly of Limerick, attorney."
