>From O'Hart: 80. Quintus Centibellis (or Conn of the Hundred Battles*) : his son. This Conn was so called from h undreds of battles by him fought and won: viz., sixty battles against Cathirius Magnus or Cahir Mor, King of Leinster and the 109th monarch of Ireland, whom he slew and succeeded in the monarchy; one hundred battles against the Ulsterians; and one hundred more in Munster against Owen Mor or Mogha Nua-Dhad their king; who, notwithstanding, forced the said Conn to an equal division of the Kingdom with him. He had two brothers, named Eochy Fionn Fohart and Fiacha Suidhe, who, to make way for themselves, murdered two of their brother's sons, named Conla and Crionna; but they were by the third son Airt-EanFhear banished, first into Leinster, and then into Munster, where they lived near Cashel. From Eocha Fionn Fohart descended O'Nowlan or Nolan of Fowerty (or Foharta) in Lease (or Leix), and St. Bridget, Patroness of Kildare; from Fiacha Suidhe are O'Dolan, O'Brick, of Dunbrick, and O'Faelan (Phelan, or Whelan) of Dun Faelan, near Cashel. Quintus Centibellis reigned thirty-five years; and by a stratagem was treacherously slain by the King of Ulster, A.D. 157. The O'Nolan DNA website says "Based on Y-DNA analysis of the Nolan DNA results Lineage III - Barony of Forth, Carlow Clan O'Nolan (Tullow, Kellistown, Ballon Hill, or the area of Templepeter cemetery) appears to be the original lineage of descent from Nualan or Nuallain of Eocha Fionn Fohart, the brother of Conn Céad Cathach (Conn Cead-Catha) or Conn of the Hundred Battles. Eocha Fionn Fohart was ancestor of Carlow Clan (O'Nowlan) O'Nolan. Unless, of course, another Carlow Nolan lineage emerges through future Y-DNA testing and the results prove a closer genetic match to the Northwest Irish (Niall of the Nine Hostages) R1b1c7 haplotype." http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/nolan/results As for Fiacha Suidhe descendants I do find one NW modal Wheelahan from Nenagh, Co. Tipperary and more NW modal Whelehans in Co. Laois.

I haven't been focused much on Mag Nuadat (southern Ireland) for I thought I knew the M222+ population i.e. Dal Cuinn. However the M222+ O'Nuallain of Fothairt Fhea (the barony of Forth in Co, Carlow) has made me wonder about other possible populations in the south. For there are also the Fothairt in Chairn in the barony of Forth in Co. Wexford, i.e. those chiefs where the O'Lorcain. The Fothairt Airbrech, near Bri Ele (Croghan Hill), in King's Co., and Fothairt Maige Itha, in North Wexford or South Wicklow. I find northwest of the Dessi baronies (i.e. Vassals to Cenel Fiachach Suige and Ui Eoghain Fhinn Fothaidh) in Co. Wexford there are baronies of 'Ui Fathaidh agus O Fathaidh,' i.e. the barronies of Iffa and Offa in Co. Tipperary and to the east of the Dessi is the Barony of Forth in Co. Wexford and again named for the O Fathaidh. Plus northwest of Dessi baronies are the Uibh Eoghain Fhinn, those chief family were the O'Neills. Another family was the O'Mearadhaigh (Eoganacht in origin?) of Ui Fathaidh of southern Tipperary. This last family is linked to the north Tipperary (once part of the Ui Neill lands) family of O'Meara of Rosarguid, chief of Ui Fathaidh, Ui Neill, and Ui Eochaidh Finn, in the barony of Upper Ormond. There is also mention that the territory Ui Fathaidh of Tipperary is now placed within Upperthird and Middlethird baronies (Gaultiere was formerly named Offath), so Tipperary and Waterford have numerous kinships claiming ties with Dal Conn? Does someone know more?
