Thanks for that information Bernard. I wonder if theres more information on this O'Lane's Reg't? I've found references of the "O'Lainidh" (O'Lane O'Laney)  being chiefs of Cenel Moain and also "O'Luinidh" or  "O'Luinigh" (O'Looney O'Lunney). I guess its very possible they all could have been the same family, and the way the name was transcribed over the centuries  by different monks etc. led to the confusion of the surname. So far I've found these O'Lane's listed in the 1609 Pardon list from Sir Cahir O'Dogherty's ill fated rebellion...

Donegal. The O'Luinigh are said to have been push across the the River Foyle into the barony of Strabane and I beleive are the source of the O'Lane regiment in the War of the Three Kingdoms (below). For I believe Turlough Mac Art Oge (below) O'Neill's is the grandson of Turlogh Luineach, said to be named for his hosterage amongst the O'Luinigh where he later built his castle. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mhuintirluinigh/   "guarded with some five troops of horse of Colonel Philip Mac Toul's [O'Neill] regiment, Turlough Mac Art Oge's [O'Neill] regiment, and general-major O'Lane's regiment " http://books.google.com/books?id=4hFZAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA232&lpg=PA232&dq=%22o'lane's+regiment&source=bl&ots=DPR3yRMX7U&sig=o1AyH0TnIWrXqCZctGZ20vdgQ_Q&hl=en#v=onepage&q=%22o'lane's%20regiment&f=false                                                  R1b1c7 Research and Links: http://clanmaclochlainn.com/R1b1c7/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to DNA-R1B1C7-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
