Other ways of differentiating Sullivans from one another would be Bernie (Den Mick) of Cahermore, Patrick (Stephen Paddy) from Urhan, or the Jers of Derryconnery, the Larrys of Faha, the Batts of Dromlave, the Rogers of Barrakilla, the Morgans of Bonane, etc. Other branch-names. SUONISH means peacful, tranquil, easy-going. A Crohur Suonish one time expressed his unhappiness with a few of his neighbours in the following terms:- "They are jealous of me because they cannot display the lofty traits of character which I possess ". Then there is SHEARHIG, CLUOSY, COORNEENAGH, BACHELOR, CHANCE, GOUGH, GARSOON, GAORAGH, GOULA, DEEL, DOROHY, REAGH (meaning Royalty,originally from the Tuosist Parish, Co. Kerry), McTIGUE, McSHANE (came in the early days of the copper mines), HURRIG, SKILTY, DUDLEY, BISHOP, CAIRDE, SHANDON (from a Sullivan man in the Eyeries Parish who boasted that his horse was the only one from home who could pull the load of butter all the way to the market at the top of Shandon Street, Cork City), SHAMROCK, GASTA, DRUMMOND, BARRUIL, RABACH. CUMBA/CUMBAW, sometimes written in the Church Records as COMBOY/COMEBOY is said to have originated with a section of Sullivans from Beara and South Kerry who fought as part of the Irish Brigade in the French Army about 300 years ago. Combat (pronouncd Cumba) is, or so I am told, the French word for fight; the same meaning as the English word combat. A few years ago I came across the name COMBO which was being used as a surname in a part of Montana. I said to myself "This surely must have been, at one time, the branch-name CUMBA/CUMBAW." So, as is my wont when something is puzzling me, I got stuck in. I searched and searched and searched, and I eventually found them. They were people from the Allihies Parish who had gone out mining to Butte, and later moved further north in Montana. ------ Riobard.

Possibly the oldest name in Beara is UONHI/UONEY/OWNEY/UAINE (with a variety of other efforts at spelling it). They were an ancient Corca Laoi tribe, some of whom in later years adopted the surname HARRINGTON, but most of whom adopted the surname SULLIVAN/O'SULLIVAN. UAINE is an old Gaelic/Irish word for Green. The word GLAS also means Green. From all these came O'Sullivan(UONHI), O'Sullivan(GLAS), O'Sullivan(GREEN), now the surname GREEN. I had a great-granduncle who was known as Johnny Uonhi. Johnny and his wife emigrated to Australia in a sailing ship around the year 1855, shortly after the Famine. Their first child, a girl, was born on the ship on the long voyage out. Depending on storms and the many other vagaries of the weather, the journey at the time could take up to as much as nine months. Johnny's wife died only a few years after arriving in Australia, leaving him with 3 young kids. He went prospecting for gold about 60 miles from Grafton to the north of Sydney. When he had a bit of money made, he retired from "panning", started a provision store (including some "hooch") and had a little vegetable garden and reared some hens and chickens to supply the other prospectors. One of his prospector buddies, old Jim, used come in from the "gold-panning" rivers and sometimes himself and Johnny used celebrate the Feast of St. Patrick "in liquid and in singing form". Old Jim had no calendar, but he was very fond of eggs. So he found a way around his problem. When he would be going back out prospecting for the month of April, he used be given 30 eggs. He ate one egg each day and kept the shells. When he wanted to know what day of the month it was, all he had to do was count up the shells. 15 shells equalled the 15th of April !! ----- Riobard.

ISLAND. Those with that branch-name came to Beara originally from Whiddy Island. They settled in the Kilcatherine district of the Eyeries Parish, and their children were even put into the Church Records as John Island, Mary Island, etc. Another of the original brothers settled just outside Kenmare, Co.Kerry. It was known far and wide as Denny Island's pub. ADOPTED NAMES:- QUILL/QUILLE and WOODS came from the Gaelic word COILL, a wood. This branch of Sullivans are said to have spread out from a wooded area in North Kerry. Sullivan MERWICK is now known with the surname MERWICK. The first man to bring the name here came to Beara from Co. Wicklow about 250 years ago. The families of what were later known as LOWNEYS were originally Sullivans/O'Sullivans who came to Beara from the banks of the River Laune which flows out of the Lakes of Killarney and along through Killorglin in Co. Kerry. They were put into the early Parish Records as LAUNEY with the "Y" just added to the name of the river. To be continued. ----- Riobard.

GLANNY comes from GLEANN, a glen. A Sullivan Glanny man eloped with a a local O'Dwyer girl to Boston, Mass. There he set up a store and named it NAVILLUS. which is SULLIVAN turned backways. The Gaelic for Glengarriff (GLEANN GARBH) gave rise to the branch name GARBH/GARBH (associated with the branch-name LYNCH as well). VALLIG comes from the word BEALACH, a passage-way. The place name, the Gaelic of which is BEALACH BAOI, in on Dursey Island. CLADIG comes from Cladach, a seashore. Cois cladaig = beside the seashore. CUMMER, from CUMAR = a ravine, usually with a stream. There is place called Cummers in townland of Ballydonegan in the Allihies Parish. MOUNTAIN, self-evident. BEARNACH/BARNACH comes from BEARNA. a gap. To be continued. ------ Riobard.
