*36712 --O'Shaughnessy -- DF85* O'Shaughnessy is a "Uí Fhiachrach Aidhe" surname. The Uí Fhiachrach (F is lentited after Uí -- grammar) are suppose to be descended from Fiachrae the half-brother of Niall. And form one of the "three Connachta" along with the Uí Bhriúin and Uí nAilleo (became insignificant after 9th century). Here's what's in Woulfe's 1923 book ---- Ó SEACHNASAIGH—I<http://www.libraryireland.com/names/synopsis-types-surnames.php>—O'Shaughnessy, O'Shoughnessy, O'Shannessy, O'Shanesy, Shaughnessy, Shannessy, &c.; 'descendant of Seachnasach'; the name of a branch of the Ui Fiachrach Aidhne, in Co. Galway. On the decline of the kindred family of O'Cahill in the 13th century, the O'Shaughnessys became chiefs of Cinel Aodha, anglicised Kinelea, the district lying around the town of Gort; but they are only rarely mentioned in the Irish annals before the reign of Henry VIII. In 1533, Dermot O'Shaughnessy, the then 'chief of his nation,' was knighted, and ten years later he surrendered all the clan-lands to the crown in order to receive them back by letters-patent. During the next two centuries the O'Shaughnessy were one of the most celebrated families in Ireland. Sir Dermot O'Shaughnessy, the fourth in descent from Sir Dermot of the time of Henry VIII, joined the Confederation of Kilkenny<http://www.libraryireland.com/JoyceHistory/Confederation.php> and lost his estates in the Cromwellian confiscations<http://www.libraryireland.com/JoyceHistory/Cromwellian.php>, but received back 2,000 acres at the Restoration. This was again forfeited in 1697, and Colonel William O'Shaughnessy, the last chief of the name in the direct line, died in exile in France in 1744. O'Donovan<http://www.libraryireland.com/biography/JohnODonovan.php> was of opinion that the O'Shaughnessys of Co. Limerick are descended from Lieut.-Colonel William O'Shaughnessy, the uncle of Sir Dermot of the Cromwellian and Restoration period; but this is unlikely, as the O'Shaughnessys were settled at Dromard, near Rathkeale, before the year 1600. --- -Paul (DF41+) On Wed, Nov 13, 2013 at 12:22 AM, Linda McKee <[email protected]> wrote: > Drum roll............ > > 37094......John Harrison.......DF85+ and DF97+ > > 200080....
