Donegal. [In the 16th century Bagenal rental records for 'The Town and Lordship of Newry' I found Mac and O Morgans, namely the Mac and O are/were inchangable.] The barony of Raphoe was also home to the O'Docherty of Cenel Conaill, as opposed to Cenel Moen a branch of Cenel Eoghain.(I half-remember John saying something about O'Docherty DNA being close to other Cenel Eoghain families??)
