Thank you so much, Dave. All three articles prove what a brawling, drinking, disciplinarian lot the Magaurans were. This family had every facet of life within it - from great Archbishops to IRA fighters. :) Found a site today which tells the story from 7th century onwards, about the love/hate relationship with the Dolans etc. Only up to 1000ad or so yet, find them quite fascinating and beginning to like them very much - and it says Leitrim is their original home. We had Ribbonmen in the family in Fermanagh, probably illicit stills as well. One could believe it's genetic.
