1587 "LITTLE (also Lyttle) These names can be of English, Scottish or Irish origin and are most common in Dublin and in Ulster, especially in counties Antrium and Fermanagh. The name is of course, English by original derivation and was descriptive of the bearer, from old English lyte, meaning "small". In Scotland, Little was the name of one of the lesser of the riding clans of the boarders. Neighbors of the Beatties, they were based in Eskdale and Ewesdale in Dumfriesshire and were recorded as one of the unruly clans of the West march in 1587. Little can also be a varient of Liddell, a territorial name from Liddle in Roxburgshire and indeed the two names were recorded as synonymous in the Poyntzpass district of Co. Armagh towards the end of the nineteenth century. At the same time Little was recorded as a synonym of Beggan in Co. Monaghan. Beggan, Gaelic Ó Beagáin or Ó Beacáin , was a name of a Sept of the Clones- Roslea - Donagh area and most of this Sept anglicised to Little. However, it is clear that a large number of members of the riding clans of the Scottish Borders settled in Fermanagh at the time of the Plantation and settlers called Little were recorded there in the 17th century. It will therefore be difficult without a confirmed family tree, to determine the origins of any individual. Ulster Book of Surnames , Ref. CS 2415, B45, 1988. NEGHS

Some gentlemen of the Mac Mahons of Oriel, with one hundred soldiers, were hired by O'Carroll (Calvagh, the son of William Odhar, son of Ferganainm), in the spring of this year; and at the time that their wages should be given them, O'Carroll with his people went to them by night and slew them p.2139 on their beds, and in their lodging houses. He hanged some of them from the nearest trees. The party of one village, however, made their escape in despite of O'Carroll. http://www.ucc.ie/celt/online/T000006/

On leaving this country, O'Neill passed over the upper part of Slieve Bloom westwards, and sent forth three parties in one day to ravage Ely, because of the enmity he bore O'Carroll, Lord of Ely, i.e. Calvagh, the son of William Odhar, son of Ferganainm, and in revenge of the base murder and intolerable massacre which he had committed upon the gentlemen of the Mac Mahons of p.2149 Oriel, whom he had under his protection and in his service, as we have related, in the preceding year. The evil destiny deserved by that wicked deed befel the territory of Ely on this occasion, for all its moveable possessions, wealth, and riches were carried away, and nothing left in it but ashes instead of its corn, and embers in place of its mansions. Great numbers of their men, women, sons, and daughters were left in a dying and expiring state; and some gentlemen of his own tribe and kindred were left in opposition to O'Carroll in the territory. http://www.ucc.ie/celt/online/T000006/

THE state of the Protestant Establishment in Ireland during the reign of James I., was deplorable in the extreme. The clergy -were for the most part unlearned, in several cases not being able to read or write. Writing "on A discovery of the decayed state of the Kingdom of Ireland" in 16O4, Justice Saxey tells us they are " more fit to sacrifice to a calf than to meddle with the religion of God." And that one of them is " a poor singing man void of knowledge of his grammar rules"; another is "utterly unlearned," and there was "not one able preacher in all the province (Munster), nor three sufficient bishops in all the Kingdom." They were "mere idols and ciphers," says Sir John Davies in his letter to Cecil. Naturally in the hands of such men we could not expect to find religion in a prosperous state. In.several places there were no ministers at all, and frequently 'one minister held several benefices, with the result that religious service was seldom held. There is no service," says Sir John Davies, no christening of children, no receiving of the Sacrament, no Christian meeting or assembly, no, not once a year, in a word, no more demonstration of religion than amongst the Tartars or Cannibals." The patron appropriated the profits of the benefice,and a meagre salary was given to the incumbent. The churches themselves were in nearly all cases in ruin,"....... p279, In the same year (1607), the lord Deputy, accompanied by Sir John Davies made a journey through three counties in Ulster_ vis., Monaghan, Fermanagh, and Cavan.

Along with Theo's Owen in the barony of Cremore, parish of Aughnamullen, there is in the denomination of Shantonagh a Patk. O'Bradigan in 1663.

In the barony of Dartree, parish of Killeeven, denomination of Lisabuck a William O'Bannan in 1663 and in denomination of Racaufield a Hugh O'Bannan in 1665.

The inclusion of Bannan in the above is weak, but at a risk of being redundant, what one planter heard and counted and spelled in one parish may be the same surname heard and spelled differently by another planter in a different parish of Barony. Those two Bannan citations being the only two in the entire county of Monaghan make me note them.

In the 5th Edition of O'Hart's Irish Pedigrees Vol 1 citation 32 "O'Bannan or Bannin chief of Hy-Dechi, a territory situated in the North of Tipperary" So I think the Bannan reference above in the Hearth Money Rolls is a Branagan

In the same book above a point is made of noting the greatest period of names changing in Monaghan was just before the advent of the Hearth Money Rolls.

1664 "The Gaelic Ulster surname Mac Threinfhir - son of the strong man, or champion - is anglicized Traynor, also spelt Treanor and Trainor, without the Mac, though the prefix is retained in the variant MacCrainor, which is phonetically more correct, since the T is aspirated in the Irish form of the name. While MacCreanor is the form of the name which occurs in the Co. Armagh Hearth Money Rolls of 1664, in the Co. Monaghan rolls of like date it is MacTreanor. Apart from Dublin city, Traynors are chiefly found in the districts between Monaghan, Armagh and Dungannon. Sometimes the English surname Armstrong is used (by quasi-translation) as a synonym for Traynor " http://www.goireland.com/Genealogy/

1667 "John Foster or Forster, was the ancestor of the present Sir Thomas Oriel Forster, Baronet. He was probably a scion of an ancient family of that name who came over to the County of Dublin at the first conquest of Ireland. King Charle's II's confirmation of this estate bears date in 1667.

The estate of Coll and Brian Mac Mahon was divided between Edward Carey, Thomas Coote, Peter Beaghan, John Foster, William Smith and others. It was in the Parishes of Monaghan, Clones, and Tedavnet.

Humphry Sherigley (or Shrigley) with Thomas Adkinson and others fucceeded to the property of Rofs oge Mac Mahon of Corfinlagh, in the Parish of Tullycorbet. The other Cromwellian proprietors in the place of the smaller freeholders were Edward Rowley, Robert Burgh, Arthur Nuburgh, Robert James, John Weft, Michael Pockeridge, Peter Beaghan, Nicholas Owen, John Dalton, Thomas Robinfon, William Brown, Sir John Broderick, Mathew Cole, John Fisher, and Simon Richardson.

Nicholas Owen and Simon Richardson were the ancestors of families since feated in this country. The former had land assigned to him in Parish of Kilmore; the latter in that of Tehallan.

These include: copy will of Francis Annesley of Ballyshonon, Co. Kildare, nephew of Mrs Elizabeth Paul of Ballyraggon, Co. Kildare, 1707; original of the will of the Rev.

1760 Cont. from; The Rathdonnell Papers (D/4132 AND MIC/632) Most of the material of 'Northern' relevance has been deposited in the original in PRONI (D/4132). This includes two deeds, 1761 and 1764, revealing that Kane's estates in various places were subject to a successful lawsuit by a 'Protestant discoverer' under the Penal Laws, Charles King of Dublin, and were subsequently sold back to Kane by King's successor for a nominal sum. The interpretation of these deeds is unclear: either Kane was a Roman Catholic or - and this is more probable because of the nominal sum - he used the Penal Laws as a vehicle for quickly and cheaply establishing his title. There then follow leases, etc, 1762-1870, 1896, 1898 and 1925-1939, of the lands of Drumsnaught etc, parish of Donaghmoyne, barony of Farney, and parish of Errigle, barony of Trough, Co.

In Griffith's 30 years later it had shrunk to 13 a, 3 r, 10p but of course there was also a Edward in Griffith's who may have received his start from a piece of Bernard's. That is assuming Bernard is a son of Bryan and of course that , right now, is only conjecture.

From 1825 through the 1850's the Clerey clan had holdings in the townland of Doosky in the Parish of Killeevan, Barony of Dartry, Poor Law Union of Monaghan. Those listed are a Bryan, Bernard and Edward who are heads of the households. " Research interest of Ruth Higgins rhiggins@starband.net

1826 "This is the Tithe Applotment List for Aughaloughan, LDS Microfilm #0256597, Donagh Parish, Diocese of Clogher, County Monaghan. A previous question regarded "Denominations." This has to do with land. The four columns for each town/townland are divided into 1) Acreable Rate; 2) Area of Each Farm; 3) Yearly Rectorial Tithe and 4) Yearly Vicarial Tithe. (The print on those is small, even though I put it on "Zoom" on the reader/printer, so if any corrections, please let me know.) The time period is 1826.

July 31,1826 "The above actions were not taken lightly by the Catholic Association. This is clear from the report of their meeting on 31st July, 1826. One of the important items on the agenda was the question of financial aid to the freeholders who were being persecuted by their landlords as a result of their vote. In July, 1826, the New Catholic Association in Dublin established a fund called "The New Catholic Rent" to aid payment of rent arrears that were being called for from those freeholders who had voted against their landlords in the June parliamentary elections. It is clear from the above points that Messrs. Coote and Southwell made a distinct impression in the 1826 election. Despite the fact that neither got elected they were victorious in a number of ways. They broke the Tory monopoly which had existed for many years in the county. They showed that the support for the Emancipation question was high in the county despite the many obstacles that were in its way. Their support was very high in view of the fact that there was such a high number of freeholders involved who were subject to the wishes of their landlords. The result of the election might have been much different were it not for a number of important factors. The fact that the ballot was not secret meant that many freeholders were too scared of losing their property to risk their landlord’s displeasure. In the 1826 election the candidates supported by the Catholic Association scored victories in a number of areas - in Louth, Westmeath, Monaghan, Armagh and in Waterford.

It shows the name of the person who holds the lease; possibly the listed person is a still-living grandfather, and his children and grandchildren work the property.

1833 Memorial of "Patrick McGovern - Drumshancorick died 17th March 1893 aged 60 years Son of Francis and Catherine McGovern" Rosslea Tombstones, John Farmer

1833 The Tithe Applotment Book for Aghabog Civil Parish in Co.Monaghan records two James Beggans jointly renting 4 acres of land in Crappagh Townlands. The adjacent 3 acres is rented by Philip Beggan.

The above info comes from Theo McMahon of the Monaghan Ancestry Society. 6 Tully, Monaghan, Ireland, I quote him; "A Patrick Began and a Philip Began are listed as being from "Annabeg" Co. Monaghan in the compilation of records "The Irish Settlers of Prince Edward Island" by Dr Brendan O'Grady of the University of Prince Edward Island, Charlettetown, PEI. dated 1991. It is my opinion that "Annabeg" is a corruption of Aghabog and that your ancestors most likely came from this location."

1834/41 In the 1881 census of Lot 35, PEI, Ann (Trainor) Beagan says she was born in 1834. In the 1891 census she becomes younger as she claims to have been born in 1840. In the 1901 census she becomes even younger and claims now to have been born in 1841. Her grave stone reaches a compromise and says she was born in 1836. All accounts agree she was born in Ireland.

"Close by Drumswords is the Catholic chapel at Ture, a simple but attractive edifice not far from the Mass rock which was still in use by the people of the locality well into the nineteenth century. Turn here towards Rawdeerpark and the remains of a Famine 'porridge house'. Continue to Scarva, and turn right, crossing the River Finn again before returning to Clones via Analore street."

1837 "AUGHNAMULLEN, a parish, in the barony of CREMORNE, county of MONAGHAN, and province of ULSTER,3 miles (s. by w.) from Ballibay, on the road to Dublin; containing 18,032 inhabitants.

It comprises, according to the Ordnance survey, 30,710 statute acres (including 1643 ¼ under water), of which 26,468 are applotted under the tithe act and valued at £19,323 per annum : there are large tracts of mountain and bog. The mountain of Bunnanimma is an isolated mass about six miles in circumference, and its summit, which according to the above survey, rises 886 feet above the level of the sea, is the highest point of land in the county : the waters flow from this mountain on the south-east to the sea at Dundalk, and on the west-north-west to Ballyshannon. On the south-east part of it is Lough Eagish, or Crieve Lough, partly supplied by springs and partly by rain water, which descends from the heights by which it is flanked on the east and west. A stream issuing from it presents by its rapid fall and constant supply, together with the abundance of fuel furnished by the bogs in the neighbourhood, such favourable sites for bleaching-mills that not less than fourteen mills are situated on its short course northward to Ballibay water, the tail race of one serving as the head of the next below it: the lake under the care of an engineer, or waterman, to regulate the flow of water, so that a deficiency is seldom experienced even in the driest seasons. There are many other lakes in the parish, the principal of which are Lough Avean, Lough Chantinee, and Lough Ballytrain, besides several of smaller size. A battle is said to have been fought on an island in the lough opposite the glebe-house, where many large bridleand battle-axes have been found: this island comprises several acres of very excellent land, mostly in pasture.

Of the entire extent of the parish, 25,008 acres are arable and pasture, and 1503 are bog and waste land. The soil is of an average quality, and the system of agriculture is capable of great improvement: flax of good quality is cultivated to a great extent, and wheat, oats, barley, and rye are also grown. There are very extensive bleach-greens at Crieve, near Ballibay, the property of Messrs. S. Cuningham and brothers; also similar establishments at Drumfaldra and Cremorne, respectively belonging to Messrs. Cuningham and Mr. Jackson ; and at Chantinee, to Mr . Forbes. There are flax-mills at Crieve and Laragh, the latter, in which machinery for spinning has been recently erected, the property of Messrs. Davison, and, with a weaving factory and bleach-green, affording employment to more than 300 persons; a large corn-mill at Rea, and two others at Derrygooney, all well supplied with water from the lakes. Some slate quarries of an inferior description, and a lead mine, were formerly worked, but have been discontinued.

The principal seats are Mountain Lodge, situated in a beautiful demesne, that of Lieut.-Col. Ker ; Lough Bawn, of W. Tenison, Esq. ; Chantinee, is the demesne of which are some fine water-falls, of J. Tilly Forbes, Esq. ; the glebe-house, the residence of the Rev. R. Loftus Tottenham; Cremorne Green, of J. Jackson, Esq; Crieve House, of S. Cuningham, Esq. ; Drumfaldre, of John Cuningham, Esq. ; Carnaveagh, of Jss. Cuningham, Esq.; Derrygooney, of R.A. Minnitt, Esq.; Laragh, of A. Davison, Esq.; Bushford, of R. Thompson, Esq. ; Corfada, of J. McCullagh, Esq. ; and Milmore, of-the late T. Brunker, Esq.

The living is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Clogher, and 1n the patronage of the Bishop: the tithes amount to £900. The church is a plain neat edifice, with a tower surmounted by four turrets, and occupies a picturesque situation: a grant of £185 has been recently made by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for its repair. Near Ballytrain is a chapel of ease, a very neat modern structure, for the eastern division of the parish.

In the R. C. divisions this parish is divided into two districts, east and west, having separate parochial clergy: there are five chapels, of which one at Luttin, to which is attached a burial-ground, was built in 1822, at an expense of £800 ; and another at Loughbawn., a spacious slated edifice, was built. in 1833 at an expense of £1000.

There are two places of worship for Presbyterians; one at Ballytrain, in connection with the Synod of Ulster, and of the third class; and the other at Crieve, in connection with the Seceding Synod, of the second class. There are four public schools, in which about 360 boys and 180 girls are taught; and there are fifteen hedge schools, in which are about 600 boys and 360 girls; and five Sunday schools.

On the summit of a hill overlooking Lough Eagish, about 25 years since, an urn was found in a rude tomb covered with a stone which weighed about two tons, supposed to be the burial-place of some prince or chief. The townland of Cremorne gives the title of Baron to the family of Dawson, of Dawson's Grove, in this county. Lewis 1837 Jane Lyons
